The only reason why I didn't go to an HBCU was because of my own immaturity back in 1982. I went to a mixed HS, by the way.
I was a 17-year-old who was extremely attached to my parents, especially my mother. I couldn't see moving to D.C. or the Atl at that time, lol. I eventually moved to the South for four years, but I was 25 when I moved.
Soror Ideal, I also see your point about growing up in a predominantly white environment and how a HBCU would help. But I also think that the parents should make an effort to ensure the child's connectedness before he/she goes to college. A child shouldn't wait until 17,18 years of age before exposure...
