Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are institutions of higher education in the United States that were established before the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with the intention of primarily serving the African - American community. The Black College Consortium is an organization of some HBCUs, not the general term. The African American College Guild is not a widely - recognized term for these institutions. The Black Ivy League refers to a group of HBCUs known for their academic excellence, but it is not the general term for all such colleges.
