After Brown v. Board of Education, the Florida legislature opened Hampton Junior College in which city as one of 11 black community colleges to show that the education system was separate but equal?
Ocala, Florida
Hampton Junior College
Hampton Junior College, located in Ocala, Florida, opened its doors in 1958.
 It was one of eleven black community colleges which were founded, at the urging of the Florida Legislature, to show that a "Separate but equal" educational system for blacks existed in Florida; the Legislature wished to avoid the integration mandated by the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954.
 At the time, the closest public college that would accept negros was Florida A&M University, 175 miles away.
Brown v. Board of Education
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) , was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional.
 The decision overturned the "Plessy v. Ferguson" decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education.
 Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9–0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
 As a result, "de jure" racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.
 This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement, and a model for many future impact litigation cases.
 However, the decision's fourteen pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools, and the Court's second decision in "Brown II", 349 U.S. 294 (1955) only ordered states to desegregate "with all deliberate speed".
Lincoln Junior College
Lincoln Junior College, located in Fort Pierce, Florida, opened its doors in 1960, at the same time as Indian River Junior College (now Indian River State College), restricted to white students.
 It was designed to serve Indian River, Martin, Okeechobee, and St. Lucie counties.
 It was one of eleven black community colleges which were founded, at the urging of the Florida Legislature, in the late 1950s and early 1960s to show that a "separate but equal" educational system for blacks existed in Florida; the Legislature wished to avoid the integration mandated by the Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision of 1954.
 At the time, there was no nearby college for Negroes, and the distances and lack of funding effectively closed off most local blacks from college. Carver Junior College
Carver Junior College, in Cocoa, Florida, was established by the Brevard County Board of Public Instruction in 1960 to serve negro students, at the same time that it founded Brevard Junior College, now Eastern Florida State College, for white students.
 It was named for the black agricultural researcher George Washington Carver.
 Like 10 of Florida's other 11 black junior colleges, it was founded as a result of a 1957 decision by the Florida Legislature to preserve racial segregation in education, mandated under the 1885 Constitution that was in effect until 1968.
 More specifically, the Legislature wanted to show, in response to the unanimous Supreme Court decision mandating school integration (Brown vs. Board of Education), that the older standard of "separate but equal" educational facilities was still viable in Florida.
 Prior to this legislative initiative, the only publicly-funded colleges for negro or colored students (as they were called at the time) were Florida A&M University, in Tallahassee, and Booker T. Washington Junior College, in Pensacola. Johnson Junior College
