no they didnt because the white hated the blacks thank you

Newyorkminute1 says that Blacks did indeed attend the same schools as white citizens, however I need to make a distinction between Black American that looked Black had to attend Negro colleges in the Eastern and Southern U.S., the Negroes that were "passing" and also those that were wealthy functioned in society as White Americans. There is a rather large book at the library entitled something like Black Aristocracy in the 17001's and 1800's in the U.S. People who were very light Negroes even went so far as to join the "Blue Vein society" in which you had to be light-skinned enough to see the blue veins in your wrist. Rather racial and snooty for me, but we are talking about rich people in early America. Hope this has enlightened you, also these schools are called Grambling, Hampton University (I think the oldest Negro College in the U.S.) Many more...just search for Black Colleges in the U.S.
