The Southeastern Center for
Contemporary Art, or SECCA,
will present a special program by
renowned author Alex Haley at 8
p*m. on Tuesday, Sept. 16.
In a lecture titled 4'Roots: A
Saga of Black History," Haley
will discuss his research and experience
in writing "Roots,'* the
best-seller which traces 200 years
and six generations of his family.
Haley's "Roots" is the biggest
best-seller in the history of U.S.
publishing and, with translations
in 37 languages, its worldwide
sales have topped 20 million.
When "Roots" was made into
a 12-hour television miniseries in
1977. it attracted th*
, - - - - - ? ?' ? ^WV/lAVt ~
highest program audience in
television history, with more than
130 million viewers.
Haley was born in 1921 in
Ithaca, N.Y., and was reared in
Henning, Tenn. The eldest of
three sons of a college professor
and a grammar school teacher,
Haley finished high school at age
15. He attended two years of college
before joining the U.S.
Coast Guard as a messboy.
During his 20 military years,
Dr. Ernest Wade, the new direc
Forest, hopes to help minority s
. of college life.
WFU names new mil
; Wake Forest University has
named Dr. Ernest Wade its new
director of minojcityjaffairs.
Wade, formerly the director of
the Student Development Center
at the University of Arkansas,
succeeds Dr. Herman Eure, who
has returned to full-time teaching
duties in Wake Forest's department
of biology.
Wade says his major responsibility
will be in a 4 'supportive
role. Although a minority student
who has been accepted at a
school like Wake Forest should
not feel intimidated by other
students, sometimes they need a
little help to get over the 'rough
spots.' I will try to help them get
involved in extracurricular activities,
become student leaders
and feel they are making a contribution
to the university."
1 Wade also will recruit and help
with retention of minority and
disadvantaged students.
: Wade received his bachelor of
science degree at Johnson C.

Chronicle, Thursday, September 11, 1986-Page A7
For the past three decades Black people have been shouting and
inferring that we gained increased pride in our heritage and culture.
But is that fact? Or is it just talk for shew?
You see, way bade when a college education was almost an
Impossibility for Black people, they gained hope when Cheyney
opened its doors in 1839. And Lincoln University offered educational
opportunities in 1854. In 1865, the churches recognized
the need for ex-slaves to learn readin', riting and ciphering, and
with the help of The Freedmenfe Bureau, they founded Howard
University, risk University. Ibugaloo College, St. Augustine
College and Morgan College, to name a few institutions of
higherjaarning.
ltfe 5lact! When Black folks needed them, the Black colleges

lawyers and educators. But as the saying goes... how soon we forget.
Tbday, when many of these Black schools need the support of
Black Americans we arc giving them Hlip" service rather than the
financial support that they need. My friends, many of these Blade
institutions of higher learning are facing extinction. Black America
is not a welfare state; we have annual gross spendable income
in excess of $130 billion. That is a definite indication that we can
and must help our own community and its centers of education
and culture.
But too many of us are busy doing our cwn thing: young flacks
have accepted the fallacious belief that you can't learn anything in
.a Black college except how to party or play ball; while middle and
upper income class Black families seem to have adopted the attitude
of "I got mine, shame on them if they don't have theirs."
Wfe have arrived at the time when we must replace rhetoric with
money. Each graduate from a Black college or university should
mail a minimum of twenty-five dollars($25.00) to their alma mater
each year. Mxi know, the school that we save may be your own.
