Suggested Edit for Constance Baker Motley's Page
The page for Constance Baker Motley contains a slight error.

It says "With his financial help, she started college at Fisk University, a historically black college in Nashville, Tennessee, but later returned north to attend integrated New York University." The inference seems to be Fisk University is a segregated university, albeit an HBCU. Perhaps the sentence should be re-written to read, ". . . Fisk University, but later returned north to attend New York University." Yes I am a proud graduate of Fisk University. Too many people, even in 2021, think or believe HBCUs were, or are, segregated. HBCUs exist because of the segregation of too many universities post-Civil War, and were created on the premise of access to education for all. Because recently enslaved people attended them, they became known as HBCUs with the passage of the Higher Education Act of 1965.

Thanks! Yes I am also a donor to Wikipedia.
