In 1997 Proposition 209 banned affirmative action policies, which traditionally helped minorities get into a college. As a result, enrollment dropped sharply among minorities.

Jabez 3 Enterprises, now National College Resources Foundation saw an opportunity to expose alternative higher educational options, via Historically black Colleges and Universities, to the African American youth and other minorities

It was discovered at that time, less than 3% of enrollment at HBCU's came from California, coupled with the fact that our youth was thirsty for an event catered just for them.

In 2000 the annual Black College Expo emerged.

Almost 13 years later, enrollment in HBCU's from California resident's have increased dramatically as a result of the Black College Expo, and in some cases, as much as 50%.
