Great Migrations: A People on The Move

Immigrant Students at HBCUs

Season 1 Episode 4 | 6m 36s

In 1924 the U.S. passed its most restrictive and biased immigration laws in history. Despite restrictions, a number of Africans were sent to the U.S. temporarily for education in the 1930s, 40s, and 50s. They often attended HBCUs where they had meaningful exchanges with African Americans.

Corporate support for GREAT MIGRATIONS: A PEOPLE ON THE MOVE is provided by Bank of America, Ford Motor Company and Johnson & Johnson. Major support is provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Support is also provided by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and the Ford Foundation. Additional support was provided by the Inkwell Society together with many of its members, and by public television viewers.
