James Meredith was the first black man to go to college.
Devon Pearson
This answer is not entirely accurate. James Meredith was the first African American to attend the University of Mississippi; however, if you are going to answer the question of the first, black man to attend college, the furthest I can find is 1870 - when a former slave by the name of James Webster Smith was admitted into the United States Military Academy at West Point. He did not graduate; however, 3 years later Henry O. Flipper was admitted... in which he graduated in 1877 as West Points first blackgraduate.
Of you have Richard Greener, the first African-American graduate of Harvard also in 1870.
