The Brown-Tougaloo Partnership, a distinctive collaboration between an Ivy League university and a Historically Black College, is unique in the history of American higher education for its depth and duration.

This examination of the history of the Partnership foregrounds its relevance now and for the future as other higher education institutions seek to forge similar partnerships or enrich those already established.
