Sojourner-Douglass College

Baltimore, MD
Contemporary

Founded in 1972 and named for Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass, Sojourner-Douglass College served adult learners in Baltimore's Black community, offering nontraditional educational pathways grounded in an explicitly Black intellectual and activist tradition.

Counter-Narrative

The myth this site refutes: that Black communities lacked investment in learning. HBCUs and freedom schools existed before many white institutions.
