1868 was the year W.E.B. Du Bois was born. The year the 14th Amendment became part of the Constitution. A year when Black Americans were beginning to exercise political power during Reconstruction.
And on April 1, 1868, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute opened its doors. What started with 15 students became a legacy that has educated generations of leaders. So when we put 1868 on a sweatshirt, we're not just putting a date on a garment. We're wearing where it started. 1868. The legacy continues.
