<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.ph&#x2F;vZ4cX" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;archive.ph&#x2F;vZ4cX</a><p>Summary: For moving blacks from poverty to the middle class, nothing outperforms Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).<p>Key takeaways:<p>- &quot;The unique contribution of this study is to examine students from the bottom two quintiles of household income ($46,000 or less)—and then find out how many later make it into the third quintile or above.&quot;<p>- &quot;While HBCUs educate only 10% of all African-American college students, HBCU grads account for 80% of black judges, 50% of black doctors and 50% of black lawyers.&quot;<p>- &quot;An HBCU graduate working full-time throughout his career will earn $927,000 more when compared to non-college goers and black students at non-HBCUs.&quot;
