Application Deadline Nears for Recovery Act Grants for Historically Black Colleges and Universities

As part of the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act of 2009, the National Park Service is awarding grants of up to $2.5 million to preserve the buildings and infrastructure of historically black colleges and universities. The goal of this program is to make historic properties on these campuses safe and useable.

“These Recovery Act grants provide an opportunity to preserve our state’s diverse cultural heritage by restoring and protecting valuable historic resources for future generations,” said Bredesen. “I hope Tennessee’s historically black colleges and universities will take advantage of this opportunity to submit projects on their campuses for consideration.”

Tennessee’s historically black colleges and universities include Fisk University, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State University in Nashville, Knoxville College, Lane College in Jackson, and Lemoyne-Owen College in Memphis.

Sounds like racial profiling and government sponsored racism.  Why not all colleges?  Oh, that's right     special privileges for protected groups.
