The emphasis is because, at the time of their founding, it was very difficult if not almost impossible for African-Americans to form legal corporations, etc. It is a great source of pride that the founders of the NPHC groups were able to incorporate their organizations at a time when many in their community could not do so.

OK, that makes sense. I would imagine a lot of them tried in 1910s & 1920s Washington DC which wouldn't have been easy. I would imagine the Iotas (1960s Maryland) & the non NPHCers (which would have been incorporated largely by whites) do it largely for consistency and shared tradition on the black campuses...
