THE INSIDER - SPRING/SUMMER 2023

CELEBRATING

129 YEARS

Monday, January 9, 2023, signified a momentous and significant occasion in the life of Texas College – the 129th

Anniversary of the Historically Black College's founding. Ordained by God, a group of heroic Christian Methodist Episcopal (CME) Church ministers founded Texas College on Tuesday, January 9, 1894, less than a mere three decades following the Civil War, to

educate a disenfranchised population comprised of the descendants of slaves. Left: Texas College Graduates (1904); Right: Texas College Homecoming Parade (1959)
