t Marable ' f The paradox of desegregation requires a comprehensive strategy to save and to transform historically black academic institutions. Economically, a national effort must be initiated to increase college endowments, particularly for those schools in immediate fiscal difficulties. This must include all Afro American churches, trade unions, sororities, fraternities, civic associations, civil rights organizations and professional societies; It requires an intensive and coordinated lobbying effort by black representatives in state legislatures and the Congressional ?jack Caucus to preserve the existence of all-black institutions politically, and to increase state and federal funds to these colleges. Black colleges must establish structural ties with two-year institutions to ensure that black students make the transition to complete their B.A. degrees. A fundamental revision of college curricula is also necessary in order to meet the realities of U.S. labor-force projections in the next century. A number of white liberal arts universities have established departments of 4'computer and information studies" during the past * decade, instructing undergraduates in the theoretical and concrete analysis of comSECCA Santa returr Each year the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art (SECCA), brings SECCA Santa to Winston-Salem, and the chairmen for this year's event are planning a gala affair.

Part of the problem, of course, is the lack of capital needed to initiate ambitious programs in the sciences at many private schools. Yet, there is also the related tendency of black private colleges to attempt to provide too many programs with too few resources. As educator Lawrence E. Gary has noted, "Black colleges offer too many courses, given the size nf fo/-?i111?/ I ? v* ii>v iovuh/i ill 3U1I1C WclSCS, Otic can find a department offering 20 courses with only three faculty members." Many black colleges have been too reluctant, with some notable exceptions, to focus on several 'specific academic fields, while cross-listing courses at neighboring universities that have resources or faculty in other areas. The survival of black colleges also depends upon their intimate involvement within the political and socioeconomic struggles of their surrounding black com munities. This agenda must be expanded to embrace international and African issues, technology and economic development in order to prepare students to assume conscious positions of civic and intellectual leadership as part of the national is to Winston-Salem daily luncheons and teas. SECCA Santa is a fund-raising event, and all proceeds will go to support the center's educational programs, which are available to the public. Special events this year include the first limited-edition SECCA Santa ornament, commissioned by the art center and created by a regional artist. / .* ? ? ?-.* I ?-.? > -4 , . y. ]i mifiV WMMHM ?CTr^ ^ w^p tr: -*i y Of *' ming Events it on display now eramic Guild exhibit Celebration, ?g ceremony * mmmmmummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm black community.

If every white university in America were truly desegregated, there would still be a reason for black academic institutions. As W.E.B. DuBois observed a half-century ago, only a black university can fully examine the "conditions and knowledge" necessary for black development. There is no conflict between black colleges and the goal of equality.

At the very least, the existence of Winston-Salem Civic Ventures and its efforts in guiding the development of the city and county mean that there is a possibility for substantial economic development in the entire community, including black citizens.
