Space is the Place
Last time we covered Rust College in Holly Springs, Mississippi which garnered an average score of 7.5
Harris-Stowe is one of two HBCUs in Missouri and is a public, open enrollment school. Created by the merger of White and Black teacher training schools after Brown v. Board, the field of education has remained its focus and is a key area of investment with a new building (see below) that has won multiple architectural awards. A good number of the Black teachers in the greater St. Louis area and other parts of Missouri or Memphis are Harris-Stowe graduates. Many of its most well-known graduates are often from the St. Louis area so it seems most graduates are from the local area and stay local/ Because it is open enrollment, graduation rates are unfortunately low.
