Evolve502 needs to look no further than our bold mission statement to understand the role our organization plays in addressing the systemic barriers to a successful, productive life for ALL in this community.
These barriers have left large swaths of our community, primarily Black people, behind for far too long. For generations of African Americans, access to the promise of higher education has been limited or wholly denied. Post-Civil War segregationist policies laid the foundation for the legal exclusion of Black people from colleges. It also allowed similar statutes — such as the Day Law in Kentucky, which prohibited white and Black students from attending the same school — to survive until the mid-1950s.
