Establishment of the "1890 Land-Grant Institutions"
The Land-Grant College Act of 1862, or Morrill Act (named after the sponsor, Vermont Congressman Justin Smith
Morrill), provided grants of land to states to finance the establishment of colleges specializing in "agriculture and the
mechanic arts." However, not everyone could access this new educational system. Under the conditions of legal separation
of the races in the South at that time, African Americans were not permitted to attend the original land-grant institutions.
Although the Morrill Act of 1862 authorized "separate but equal" facilities, only Mississippi and Kentucky established
institutions for African Americans under this law, and only Alcorn State University in Mississippi was designated as a landgrant institution. To rectify this situation congress passed the Second Morrill Act in 1890, which specified that states that
maintained separate colleges for different races had to propose a just and equitable division of the funds to be received
under the act. Any states that had used their 1862 funds entirely for the education of white students was forced to either
open their facilities to black students or to provide separate facilities for them.
Sixteen southern states that did not have an African American land-grant college by 1890, each established one later
under the Second Morrill Act. These universities, along with Alcorn State in Mississippi, founded in 1871 (designated as
a land-grant institution following the 1862 Act), and Tuskegee University in Alabama, became known as "The 1890 LandGrant Institutions." Although Tuskegee University is not a land-grant institution, it traditionally has been associated with the
African American land-grant institutions because Tuskegee has espoused the land-grant philosophy throughout its history.
