A long-shuttered administration building at the struggling Knoxville College, a historically Black institution, was destroyed in a fire Monday night, officials said. Firefighters spray water on a building fire on the Knoxville College campus, in Knoxville, Tenn., on Monday. Knoxville College is a small historically Black college and university, or HCBU, founded in 1875. Frank Shanklin, Jr., a member of Knoxville College's board of trustees, told WBIR that the former administration building has not been used in the last 40 or 50 years. "We're going to keep fighting for Knoxville College," Shanklin said, adding that he hopes the city, county and people in the region keep it in their prayers.
