DALLAS—At Kneeland Youngblood ’s graduation from Princeton, his grandfather told him that he had once sought to visit the campus in the 1920s but was stopped at the school’s gates because he was Black.
After amassing a fortune, Youngblood donated to build a new plaza at his alma mater and had his grandfather’s name chiseled into the steps.
