25:52Now PlayingA coalition advocating for Maryland's four historically black universities has had a 13 year old lawsuit with the state claiming that the state's university system long fostered segregation by allowing well-funded academic programs at traditionally white universities to undermine similar ones at Morgan State University and Coppin State University in Baltimore, Bowie State University and the University of Maryland, Eastern Shore.
A 2013 court decision and appeal found that Maryland did perpetuate segregation and that the two parties should settle. The latest court ordered mediation in July ended without any resolution.
The HBCU coalition sent a letter to elected officials offering to settle its 13-year-old lawsuit against the state for $577 million in the beginning of this month.
Last week, Gov. Larry Hogan made a "final offer" of $200 million to settle the longstanding lawsuit.
If the parties can't reach an agreement, the case's future lies with the federal appeals court.
Kristen Clarke, President & Executive Director of the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law spoke with Roland during Monday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about the ongoing fight to fund HBCUs in Maryland.
Everyone should call Governor Hogan at (410)974-3901 and Speaker of the Maryland House of Delegates Adrienne Jones at (410)655-3090 and demand HBCUs be given the funds they deserve.
