What is the orgin of HBCU's and are they neccessary in today's global time frame

Most HBCU's were created after the American Civil War. The oldest HBCU dates back to 1867. In today's society, some people don't feel that HBCU's are acceptable universities. But, i think in today's global time frame, HBCU's are acceptable. They help to educated thousands of African American students each year. I also feel that HBCU's help teach students of their past and help them determine their future. It also gives students example of strong black successful alumni in each field ,to give students some since of pride and hope.
