History

thumb|left|Greensboro four statue in front of Dudley Hall The North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (A&T) was established as a “mechanical college” for the “Colored Race” by an act of the General Assembly of North Carolina, ratified March 9, 1891. The act read in part: "That the leading objective of the college shall be to teach practical agriculture and the mechanic arts and such learning as related thereto, not excluding academic and classical instruction." This college was established along with North Carolina Agricultural and Mechanical College, now known as North Carolina State University, but due to segregation laws, whites and blacks could not attend college together.
