Two recurring problems in Historical Black Colleges and
Universities has been finances and recognition. This
association was formed during the era of segregation in an
effort to combat these two issues.

F.Nathaniel Gatlin E.Ed in 1960. Professor Gatlin called an
organizational meeting at Virginia State University in 1960,
where the purpose and goals were discussed.
Over the course of the next two years a series of meetings
were held whic produced a Constitution and By-laws, and the
organization was officially established in 1962. The IMA
membership was open for all members of the Central
Intercollegiate Athletics Association.
