jbeneral roods To Promote Black Colleges
Special To The Post
j White Plains, NY - General Foods
i Vice President for Urban Affairs
J Lee A. Archer announces that the
< company is underwriting a nation
J al advertising campaign to promote
J historically black colleges and uni
. versifies. The campaign will consist
! of a series of four print ads that will
JJiin through December 15 in more
100 local newspapers serving
community throughout the
The cost of the campaign is
JFoo<ta 4uie the announce
a luncheon at the Mayflower
ip Washington, DC, while
ng several distinguished
Americans who are alumni of
Colleges and who will appear
of the ads in the series. They
it a broad spectrum of Ame
rican life in communications, edu
cation, government and politics,
business, science and technology
and religion. Attending the lun
cheon were many presidents of his
torically black colleges and univer
sities.
'* Outstanding Black Americans
-participating in the ad campaign
pHr Dr. Marva Collins, Earl
Graves, Dr. Benjamin Hooks, Rev.
Jesse Jackson, and Earl Monroe.
In honoring distinguished partici
pants in the “Salute to Black Col
leges” campaign, Mr. Archer said:
“These eminent leaders have long
served as role models for our young
people. Now, in lending their sup
port to the recognition of historically
black colleges, they are demonstrat
ing that the highest levels of
achievement can be attained
through a quality education at one of
these schools.”
General Foods has for many years
shown its commitment to education
through numerous endowments and
contributions to schools, especially
in the field of food science and
nutrition. Earlier this year, for
example, GF presented in the name
of Bill Coaby a grant of $50,000 to
Temple University, his alma mater;
at the same time the company pro
vided $50,000 in the name of Camille
Cosby, his wife, to Tougaloo Col
lege. The company has also been a
corporate sponsor of the United
Negro College Fund for decades.
And Meharry Medical College in
Nashville was also the recipient of
$100,000 from General Foods be
tween 1982-84.
In recent years, through its Max
well House Division, GF has added
to its support of education within the
black community by sponsoring
fairs at which black colleges recruit
interested students in Northern
cities. As part of that program, it
has provided scholarships to out
standing students who go on to
attend a college participating in the
program.
“Our new national advertising
campaign is a natural expansion of
our previous efforts," said Mr.
Archer. “We expect that it will help
build awareness and appreciation of
historically black colleges among
students and their families who
previously may not have considered
the black college alternative.
"We are especially pleased to
undertake these efforts because we
feel there is a real need for such
sponsorship,” Mr. Archer con
tinued. “Recent studies, such as that
of Dr. Jacqueline Fleming titled,
“Blacks In College,” indicate that
black students do better academic
ally and socially at historically
black colleges. We were further
impressed by statistics showing
black colleges and universities
actually graduate a higher per
centage of black enrollees than other
institutions.”
