HBCUs or Historically Black Colleges and Universities, are institutions of higher education in the United States that were founded before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the primary mission of serving the African American community.

HBCUs were established during a time when racial segregation was prevalent, and they played a crucial role in providing education opportunities for Black individuals who were often denied admission to predominantly white institutions.

In this video, we're going to take a look at the top 5, according to the website.

"YOUR PATH TO BECOMING A GREATER WOMAN STARTS IN THE FALL." #ParkerWhitfield, 17, the daughter of actor #DondreWhitfield & actress #SalliRichardsonWhitfield, chose #Spelman to further her education. “One day, Parker asked me, ‘Dad, what do you think I should do about my schools?’ I told her that all of her choices would offer her a great EDUCATION! I then told her to choose a great EXPERIENCE,” We are so excited that Parker has chosen @spelman_college as her ‘great experience’! It will undoubtedly offer her a top tier education, sisterhood and citizenship. And we can’t thank bonus Auntie Traci (#TraciBlackwell, The CW’s former senior vice president) enough for her support, guidance and love. Today she brought us all some #SpelmanCollege swag to begin the collection. I think she’s almost happier about this decision than Parker is. And we love it…thank you sis.” #TakeYourTalentsToAnHBCU #HBCUExcellence #HBCUS @spelman_college @spelmanlane @alldondre @sallirichwhit https://www.instagram.com/p/CnlPMIjrfaH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@ralphlauren is looking back in time for its current collection, pulling influence from the dress styles used in historically Black universities between 1920 and 1950. The playlist pays tribute to HBCUs @morehouse1867 and @spelman_college , as well as commemorating Black students' ongoing achievements through a current interpretation of American collegiate style. #ralphlauren #poloralphlauren #ralphlaurenmen #ralphlaurenwomen #ralphlaurenjacket #ralphlaurenph #ralphlaurenpolo #ralphlaurenvintage #hbcu #spelman #spelmancollege #morehousecollege #morehouse #morehouse1867 #collegestyle #collegefashion #collegefashionista #collegewear #collegeclothes #collegeclothing #poloralphlaurensecond #poloralph #poloralphlaurenoriginal #ralphlaurenjumper #ralphlaurenshirt #ralphlaurenstyle #ralphlaurenlover #ralphlaurencollection #ralphlaurenshoes #ralphlaurentshirt https://www.instagram.com/p/CbNiFQ_q_q-/?utm_medium=tumblr
