As one of the largest HBCU’s, Texas Southern University had bold
beginnings among black colleges and African American universities. In 1946,
after being declined admission to University of Texas Law School, Meman Sweatt
won a lawsuit, resulting in the creation of the first African American law
school in Texas. Among Historical Black Colleges & Universities, TSU is
popular and offers programs in business, education, law, science and
technology.
