Tony Brown Continues Attack
Against Desegregation Process
ELIZABETH
CITY Calling desegrega
tion "the third stage in the
evolution of the theory of
white supremacy," Tony
Brown continued his at
tack against the desgrega
tion process as he address
ed Elizabeth City State
University's Honors Con
vocation. Brown, the host and
producer of NBC-TV's
public affairs program,
"Tony Brown's Journal,"
added that
"desegregation, when it is
implementated, is based
on a racist assumption
that black people in black
institutions are inferior to
white people in white in
stitutions." The more than 350 EC
SU student honorees
listened attentively and
applauded throughout
Brown's address which
contained supportive data
and information.
"This society is about
the business of getting rid
of the evidence that black
people are productive and
black institutions
demonstrate that," he
stated.
Also a syndicated col
uminst, Brown pointed
out that implementation
of desegregation policies
by HEW and the NAACP
Legal and Defense Fund
have gone astray of the
court decision which said,
"Strike down dual
systems of higher educa
tion, but take into con
sideration the unique role
of black colleges."
Feeling that "nobody
else in America graduates
black people like black
people," Brown wondered "
why society is
"questioning the mission
of black institutions while
nobody is questioning the
mission of predominantly
white college and univer
sities." Discounting the notion
that "the high success of
blacks graduating from
black insititutions, over
against the lower percen
tage graduating from
white institutions points to
black inferiority," the
Honors Convocation
speaker stated that
"Seventy-five per cent of
all blacks in America who
received their advanced
degrees from a white
university received their
undergraduate degree
from a black college."
"If you eliminate black
colleges, you eliminate fif
ty percent of the black
graduation pool each
year," Brown stated, ad
ding "If we don't have
black institutions of
higher learning we are not
going to have a black
educated community or
future leaders."
Because of "the disease
of black hatred," he
warned, "I'm not talking
about white people closing
black colleges, I'm talking
