Cost of knowledge.

“Knowledge is one of the few things that can be distributed to people without reducing the amount held by others.”

Slave-born Booker T. Washington had a life mission to promote education throughout the newly freed men and women of the south.

Washington’s establishment of Tuskegee University gave blacks a method to advance in society.

HBCU’s exist for the reason of being systemically barred from post-secondary education by whites. Decades have passed and the spread of knowledge has been digitized and mostly free — creating a rather equal playing field for all citizens alike,.

Formal education is becoming futile — why pay for what is free online?

Unlike money (even gold), knowledge is an abundant resource that retains value the more that is consumed or produced.
