In 1935, aged 16, David Blackwell entered the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

While at the Institute, Blackwell started to look for academic appointments. He made enquiries at each of the 105 "black colleges" to see if any post were available. One might see the fact that he concentrated on obtaining a job at a black College as a sign that he was aware of the powerful discrimination against African Americans, but he has later explained that this was not quite how he saw it; rather he simply accepted that a black teacher would be limited to teach at a "black college".
He sought a position at the University of California at Berkeley, however, and was interviewed by Neyman for the post. The University of California Berkeley (also referred to as Cal, Berkeley and UC Berkeley) is a major research university located in Berkeley Neyman strongly support his appointment but others had far too strong prejudices to allow Blackwell to be appointed. He was offered a post at the Southern University at Baton Rouge which he held in 1942-43, followed by a year as an Instructor at Clark College in Atlanta.
