Great video explaining how a idea designed to hurt black Americans ends up hurting everyone
But it hurt blacks worse so they rolled with it.

That's why I don't care if other policies aimed to "People of Color" or "Low Income" people help others because it's going to disproportionately help Blacks more

Thread title and some of the comments in the video are misleading. Public college was never free, and most people didn't graduate debt free.
The military veterans who enrolled in college were able to use the G.I. Bill to graduate with little to no debt.
Indeed. In the video they say "practically free" or something like that. I didn't want the title to have too many big words in it, tho :yeshrug:

There were completely free public colleges. There were also "essentially" free schools due to the GI Bill. Both excluded Black people.

And college debt *then* was less of a burden than *current* student loan debt.

Above the fray.

There was a free college in NY in my era.I don't remember the name , but I think it was an engineering school, and I'm sure it wasn't part of CUNY or SUNY.

When and where was free public college education a thing in the past?
