Thanks so much for the link -- that is really interesting.
A question...Did Wilburforce University become Central State? I've been away from Ohio for too long to remember.
ETA:
"Central State University's history begins with our parent institution, Wilberforce University, named in honor of the great abolitionist William Wilberforce. Established at Tawawa Springs, Ohio, in 1856, it is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church and is one of the oldest Black-administered institutions of higher education in the nation."
