I’m fishing for leads on something I expect will be fragmented, which is is sort of the point because I’m interested in what went on in different States of the Union.
I can’t help being curious about today’s status quo and whether there are interesting paths forward based on specific state histories. Reacting to LeBron news I looked up Akron on Wikipedia en.wikipedia.org/… and wow, didn’t that just remind me of watching King Leopold’s Ghost recently.
Any information at all would be most appreciated. I know how to search Google, but I was hoping fellow minds would be what I first encountered on this subject. Kentucky? Tennessee? There’s already lots of stuff on Mississippi. Ohio? Kansas? Wisconsin? If not HBCUs, what were the highest learning institutions with POC graduates with advanced degrees? Where did the great chemists and physicists go? Big Ag? Big Energy? Which leading labs when? I know nothing. But my picture is from Fisk because Du Bois, Du Bois, Du Bois.
