My father was born in 1945. He would have been prohibited from attending UNC Chapel Hill as an 18-year-old because he descended from American slavery. UNC didn't admit first Black students until 16 years before I was born. But sure. That's ancient and irrelevant history.
Community note
In 1951 5 black men enrolled in the UNC School of Law, following a court order that said the Law School must admit black students. By the mid-1950s, black students were admitted to the College of Arts & Sciences.
