A drawn, lithographed and printed in oil colors birds-eye view of the Wilberforce University campus.
Named after 18th-century abolitionist William Wilberforce, Wilberforce University was founded in 1856. Not only is Wilberforce the United States’ oldest private, historically black university, but it is also the first university to be owned and operated by African Americans. Wilberforce was briefly forced to close during the Civil War but reopened just one year later. Today, the university sits on 125 acres and offers 25 academic concentrations.
