Can Someone Remind Me, Isn't Howard University a Historically Black College?

The whole Trump narrative of today is a racist scam trying to demean her.
Many people are saying that it used to call itself a Historically Indian College
It might as well be the set of What's Happening?
These "just turned black" claims are completely insane.
That said., I'm old enough to remember when the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth claims were shocking and scandalous, and then in three weeks, they were considered true by pretty much every GOPer. So, we need to hit back hard.
Gee, it couldn't be because she's what she says she is.
