The reason that "black" colleges are primarily in the south is that southern states prohibited blacks from attending their regular state colleges, and set up separate colleges for blacks. Northern states did not do this. Also, blacks used to inhabit the south primarily.
Today, the historically black colleges were those that were set up to segregate blacks in the past. Though blacks are not welcome to attend regular state colleges, some like the idea of going to school in a largely black environment, and few whites wish to attend schools that are mostly black. So the historical black colleges remain, despite the official end of segregation.
