Note (Historical note)
Hampton University (HU) is a private historically black university in Hampton, Virginia. It was founded in 1868 by black and white leaders of the American Missionary Association after the American Civil War to provide education to freedmen. It is home to the Hampton University Museum, which is the oldest museum of the African diaspora in the United States, and the oldest museum in the state of Virginia. In 1878, it established a program for teaching Native Americans that lasted until 1923...Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute became simply Hampton Institute in 1930...With the addition of departments and graduate programs, it became Hampton University in 1984."
