I'm not sure why that was (if it was) the case at Howard, I just know that from my own personal research that there were several dark skinned black women in the first graduating classes at Spelman and that, to my knowledge, there has never been a stipulation that applicants sent in pictures or come in for an interview before they are accepted. That said to me that there were no "paper bag tests" there. Now, talking about who could afford higher education and who was excluded because of their skin color are totally different things...

I have seen it written here on GC time and time again that only the wealthiest Blacks could afford post secondary education. And these same wealthy Blacks just happened to be light-skinned. If you have seen pictures that prove otherwise, then the preceding statement must be false.
In your research, did you happen to see pictures of the first sorority pledge classes at Spelman?
