BS-Langston University
I am a proud graduate of this Historically Black College/University - Langston University was founded as a land grant college through the Morrill Act of 1890 and officially established by Oklahoma House Bill 151 on March 12, 1897, as the Colored Agricultural and Normal University. Later, Langston University was officially named for John Mercer Langston as is the City of Langston, a city that was a thriving Black community in the 1890s and early twentieth century.
