I know TSU was started in 1927 as the Houston Colored Junior College and changed its name many years after to Texas Southern University

I know that the original name for Texas Southern was to called the Houston College for Negros. I chose the college to be close to my mom, and to be surrounded by black culture. I knew I wanted to come to an HBCU that was located in Texas and I always heard and read a lot about Texas Southern. This was one of my first school choices.

Texas southern university was founded in 1927 when the city of Houston allotted $2800 to establish 2 colleges (University of Houston and Texas Southern University). The Painter V. Sweatt lawsuit later allowed for the creation of a law school for black students and a university to surround it. Since, and even during that time there have been so many influential things that occurred at TSU. The closure of Wheeler St. to create the Tiger Walk. The “TSU Riot” that left bullet holes in Lanier West. The TSU students that orchestrated a sit in to desegregate Houston. Etc.
