When Keylin Perez became the first Latina to be crowned Miss Coppin State University, it was the second-most exciting moment of her life, she said, after joining the military.
But as news spread of her accomplishment at the historically Black public university, she faced cyberbullying, much of it focused on her Latina heritage. Perez believes the harassment stems from the belief among some that HBCUs are solely for Black people. Perez said that some of her online critics also believe she is white, which apparently also angered some.
“It was a mixture of me ‘invading their space,’ ‘How did Coppin allow this to happen?’ and that they are ‘confused,’ and ‘Black people can never have anything,’” she said.
The liberal arts university, which is one of four historically Black colleges and universities in Maryland, was originally founded in 1900 as a training facility for Black elementary teachers. By 1926, it was named Fanny Jackson Coppin Normal School to honor the Black pioneer in teacher education. In 1950, Coppin became part of Maryland’s higher education system under the state Department of Education, and was renamed Coppin State Teachers College. In 1963, the institution was officially renamed Coppin State College.
