The Yard - Lincoln University
Lincoln University in Pennsylvania holds a distinction that belongs to no other school on this list. Founded in 1854, Lincoln is the first degree-granting HBCU in the United States. Thurgood Marshall and Langston Hughes both came through these grounds before they went on to change American law and American literature. The Lions wear orange and blue as inheritors of a founding legacy that belongs to all of us.
