Langston University
Langston, OK
Founded in 1897 in the all-Black town of Langston, Oklahoma, Langston University is the only HBCU west of the Mississippi River in the Great Plains region, rooted in the extraordinary experiment of all-Black towns established by freedpeople in Indian Territory.
Counter-Narrative
