US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at signaling his commitment to Historically Black Colleges and Universities, HBCU, saying that those schools will be an absolute priority for the White House. Thurgood Marshall College Fund President Johnny Taylor said outside the White House after the signing ceremony that 25 billion US dollars needed to make up for<br/>years of underfunding and would cover the country's more than 100 HBCUs. <br/><br/>Many of the college presidents also went to Capitol Hill yesterday to lobby Congress for more funding. Under President Barack Obama's administration, historically black colleges and universities received 4 billion dollars over seven<br/>years.
