1950 - African American Graduate Students Study Out of State

NC pays tuition for African Americans to attend universities.

  • Many Charlotte teachers, including Coach Jack Martin of West Charlotte, go to northern universities to get graduate degrees.
  • Their tuition is paid by North Carolina because the state doesn't want African Americans to attend its all-white colleges.
  • Photo shows Jack Martin working in his brother's restaurant in New York while attending New York University graduate classes.
