Obama strengthens black colleges
Section: News

Obama says these schools have felt the pain of the recession most acutely because they enroll a higher proportion of low and middle-income students. He's calling for increased funding for historically black colleges in his proposed budget.
Obama says historically black colleges and universities still play a vital role and their success is crucial to a better future for all Americans. He'll speak at the commencement ceremony for one of these institutions, Hampton University in Virginia, this spring.

Mr. Obama is demonstrating protection of US low and middle-classes young population. Another sign of American transparency in social politics.

I think that Barack Obama made the correct choice for such schools. Many poor children will also receive an education.
