effort to attain equal opportunity through
postsecondary education for Black, low-in-

(2) States and the Federal Government have
discriminated in the allocation of land and fi-
nancial resources to support Black public in-
stitutions under the Morrill Act of 1862 [7
U.S.C. 301 et seq.] and its progeny, and against
public and private Black colleges and univer-
sities in the award of Federal grants and con-

Black postsecondary institutions to ensure
their continuation and participation in ful-
filling the Federal mission of equality of edu-
cational opportunity; and
(4) financial assistance to establi
