Education funding in the United States relies primarily on state and local resources, with just a tiny share of total revenues allotted by the federal government.

This second brief of a three-part series explores the systemic underfunding of HBCUs in Maryland, and their attempts to correct these challenges, first through the courts and then through legislation.
