—the academically gifted.
The Links’ talent search idea
originated at the 1907 Minority
Community Resources Conference
sponsored by the President’s Com
mittee on Government Contracts,
a U. S. Government agency which
seeks expanded minority employ
ment within firms holding federal
contracts.
The Committee reported that
much Negro talents was being
wasted through lack of recogni
tion, opportunity and encourage
ment.
The Links reviewed various re
ports issued by government agen
cies and private institutions de
tailing the handicapped state of
Negro youth in the Nation’s
schools—segregated by state laws
in the South and by housing bias
in the North.
Added to this school handicap
was another—lack of motivation
and guidance, in the home.
Only 3 Out of 100 Qualified For
Battar Interracial Colleges
’The severity of the situation was,
perhaps best stressed in a study
of the quality of Negro students
in the South, reported by the Na
tional Scholarship Service and
Furid for Negro Students.
FVom this report the Links dis-
cov(ered that only 3 out of every
100 graduates from segregated,Na- '
gro high schools in the South wara .
qualified to attend the Ijetter ,in— .
terracial colleges. ^
Seeing the need for action, ithe
Links adopted their “Education i
for Democracy” project. ' ; |
Since adoption of the proj|j|[^ |
Links chapters throughout the j
country have been seeking, motl- j
Vating and guiding mainly eighth j
grade pupils in a concerted drive ;
to save the talented students.
Upon discovery, of such pupils,
the organization arranges for ex- ^
perts to test the student’s poten
tial or ability: if academically su
perior, the student, upon parental
approval, undergoes a whirlwind
of activities—all designed to de
velop that potential to the fullest. ;
Provided for him are tutors, top
guidance counselors, social work
e r s, psychflrfogists, psychiatristB,
and the like, as the need dictatw.
Also provided for him are prop
er'social settings, introductions .to
people of achievement in various
fields, and experiences Vith jnte- '
grated groups fo^ cultural and hu
man relations interchanges, even .
if traveling to integrated areas it
required.
The student is given financial
assistance, curriculum counseling
and college orientation and his
parents are^ counseled on how to
help him.
