A Look at Black Studies Two Years Later
By JAMES VAUGHAN
Duke University campus
choked with the heavy fog of
tear gas; sirens added to the
excitement of students harras
ing policemen harrassing stu
dents. Small objects filled the
air flying through gases, land
ing sometimes at an intended
human target, but more often
Joining the clutter of debris
swelling the lawn. The scene
was Duke University in 1969
which had generated from a
demand from a handful of
black students for Black
studies programs and other de
mands.
Duke was among several
dozen colleges and universi
ties in the country experienc
ing turmoil over demands for
black studies. In the two years
since, a majority of the uni
versities have compiled with
the demands by establishing
Black studies programs, de
partments and, for some,
centers.
What has Black Studies pro
duced?
"Blacks claiming to be Afri
cans still view Tarzan as a
typical African native. White
folks still control our minds,"
Howard Fuller, of Malcolm X
Liberation University accused
in reply to a recent Black
Journal survey.
The NET sponsored sur.vey
will use the results in a two
part series called "Take Back
Your Mind," to be aired on
NET. November 23 and 30.
The recently released sur
vey findings stated that:
"Black studies was born as
the guardian of the new Black
value system in the struggle for
freedom. After two years its
back is slumped with the bur
den of indecision -- what it is
and what it guards are yet
to be defined."
"Black administrators don't
seem to understand that we're
being loved to death, sort of
kissed out of existence," says
Dr. Milton White, director of
Black studies at the University
of California, as he voices ob
jection to (he compromises
forced on Biatfis who work
within the white academic
structure. Dr. White is one of
many Black administrators,
teachers, and students ques
tioned by Black Journal.
Discussing the difficulties
in Black studies, he points to
the recruitment of "old Negro
history teacher types" who
teach young Blacks about Cris
pus Attucks and Malcom X but
fail to relate them to the pre
sent struggle. He also dis
parges the presence of those
establishment-prone Blacks
"thoroughly endowed with
white middle-class values."
Other Blacks offer their
view of the Black studies pro
grams and of the new value
system: **■
- One UCLA student la
ments the fact that her African
language teacher is a white pro
fessor.
- Dr. Leroy Higgenbotham
of UCLA is shocked to find
that many of his Black stu
dents are actually afraid to go
into Watts.
- Dr. Howard Fuller of Mal
colm X Liberation University
(Greensboro, N. C.) accuses
many Blacks of claiming to be
Africans while viewing Tarzan
as a typical African native.
"White folk still control our
minds," he says.
- Federal City College
(Washington, D. C.) students
in a "Psychology 0 f the
Ghetto" class engage in a
heated discussion over the
meaning of revolution, the par
ticipation of middle-aged
Blacks, the symbolism of an

In scanning these colleges.
Black Journal finds that a new
set* of Black values has not
been clearly defined and that
the meaning of Black studies
varies greatly from campus to
campus.
At California Polytechnic in
Pamona, it is a confidence
building phenomena, while at
Federal City College in Wash

of white nationalist (educa
tional) myths. At UCLA Black
