I used Wittenberg as it is my alma mater and Ohio State because I attended grad school there. My primary point was that a lot of these schools were not admitting Black students which facilitated the birth of HBCUs.

Wittenberg was founded in 1842 by the English Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Ohio. It is small, liberal arts university that focuses on preparing the student as a "whole person," emphasizing the student’s intellectual, spiritual, physical, and aesthetic self. Wittenberg’s first Black graduate was a man by the name of Broadwell Chin who graduated in 1879.
