In post-war Mississippi, upward mobility for Black individuals was primarily pursued through education, labor opportunities, and civil rights activism. The establishment of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs) offered pathways to higher education and professional careers. Additionally, the Civil Rights Movement, particularly during the 1950s and 1960s, sought to dismantle segregation and discrimination, advocating for voting rights and better job opportunities. Despite significant challenges, these avenues provided a foundation for progress and empowerment within the Black community.

The "Talented Tenth" is a term coined by W.E.B. Du Bois in the early 20th century, referring to the leadership class of African Americans who were educated and capable of advancing the interests of the Black community. Du Bois believed that this elite group could uplift the entire race through education, activism, and advocacy. The concept emphasized the importance of higher education and intellectual development in combating racial discrimination and achieving social progress. The Talented Tenth became a foundational idea in the discourse on race and education within the African American community.
As of 2023, there are 49 private Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in the United States. These institutions are dedicated to providing higher education opportunities specifically for Black students and have played a crucial role in the educational landscape. While the majority of HBCUs are public, the private HBCUs also contribute significantly to the mission of supporting and uplifting Black communities through education.
Before desegregation in the United States, particularly prior to the Civil Rights Movement in the 1960s, there were over 3,000 predominantly white colleges and universities. These institutions were often funded by state and federal governments and were primarily accessible to white students, while Black students faced significant barriers to higher education. The landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 began the process of desegregation, leading to gradual changes in access to higher education for Black students.
