Black Colleges Better To Equip Black Students
"There is no doubt in mj
mind that Black colleges, suet
as Dillard, are still better U
equip Black students to be
come functional participant!
in a society dominated bj
racism,"Dr. Geneva H. South
all, professor and chairman
Afro-American Studies De
partment, University of Min
nesota, said at a Honors Daj
Convocation at Dillard Uni
versity Thursday.
The New Orleans native ant
1945 Dillard graduate, has the
distinction of being the first o!
her sex to receive the Ph.D
degree in piano performance
and music literature from the
University of Iowa, 1966.
“Black students must be
told or reminded that the
current cry of ‘Reverse dis
crimination’ being loudly ex
pounded in the Allan Bakke
Case before the U.S. Supreme
Court is in reality in 1978 code
word for my college genera
tion's ‘Nigger stay in youi
place.' What is more ludi
crous," she continued, “in thii
alleged discrimination clam
is that Allan Bakke had beei
r=a .... - ■■
refused admittance into the
University of Minnesota Medi
cal School, although he had
graduated from the institu
tion," said Dr. Southall.
Dr. Southall added, "even
more disturbing is that Bakke
like mentality has been
allowed to permeate the walls
of academics by members of
both races who seemingly
have forgotten that the past
preferential treatment of
whites mandates preferential
treatment of blacks before
any logical equality can take
place."
Referring to William E. Du
Bois's study'College Bred Ne
gro," published in 1900, which
cataloged the achievements of
Black college graduates of
that day and their contribu
tion of the Black college could
■ be seen In the work of their
> graduates in the Black com
i m unity.
"It was the thousands of
Black teachers devoted in
these colleges who trans
> formed an enslaved people
i into a literate population in the
t space of 50 years," she said.
wniie pointing out tnat me
professional class developed
by these colleges have pro
vided the "only real models
with which Black youth have
found identification, and from
whom they have received
sympathetic encouragement
to achieve."
“It is still from Black col
leges. like Dillard, that we get
75 percent of the nation's
Black Ph.D.'s, 80 percent of its
Black federal judges, 85 per
cent of the nation's Black
physicians, and 75 percent of
her Black officials, business
men and women," she said.
Dr. Southall's subject was
"The Real Meaning of Aca
demic Excellence," and in her
conclusion she challenged the
Dillard honorees-Students
with "A" averages, on the
Honor Roll, the University
Scholars, inductees into Na
tional Honor societies i Alpha
Chi, Alpha Kappa Mu. Beta
Beta Beta, and Beta Kappa
Chi), and Who's Who Among
Students in American Uni
versities and Colleges, to
“lead the way as part of the
Post Martin Luther King, Jr.
' generation in making the late
slain Civil Rights Leader's
dream for America to become
a reality in this the last decade
of the Twentieth Century.''
The honorees were pre
sented by Dr. Daniel C. Thom
pson, vice president for Aca
demic Affairs. University
Scholar Dwayne Thomas, 80,
responded for the honor stu
dents.
Dr Elton C. Harrison, vice
president for Administration
and Planning, presented Dr
