Historically Black College grads average $927,000 more throughout career

Summary: For moving blacks from poverty to the middle class, nothing outperforms Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

Key takeaways:

- "The unique contribution of this study is to examine students from the bottom two quintiles of household income ($46,000 or less)—and then find out how many later make it into the third quintile or above."

- "While HBCUs educate only 10% of all African-American college students, HBCU grads account for 80% of black judges, 50% of black doctors and 50% of black lawyers."

- "An HBCU graduate working full-time throughout his career will earn $927,000 more when compared to non-college goers and black students at non-HBCUs."
