Southern University and A&M College began in 1880 as the result of a movement in Louisiana for an equal opportunity institution of higher learning sponsored in the 1879 Louisiana State Constitutional Convention by four African American delegates. Originally located in New Orleans, it was later reorganized to receive national land-grant funds and moved north of Baton Rouge in what was then Scotlandville, Louisiana, in 1914. Today, Southern University is part of the nation's only historically Black Land Grant university system in the U.S.
