“There was a common
bond,” says Lt. Governor Lawrence
Douglas Wilder of Virginia,
speaking of his college experi
ence. “We all knew who we were
and where we needed to go, and
what we needed to do to get there.”
Wilder, the nation’s highest-rank
ing Black elected state official,
attributes that world-beating
attitude to the inspiring role
models he found at Virginia Union
University, one of America’s Black
colleges.
In an atmosphere of high
intellectual quality, young Douglas
Wilder discovered what he calls,
“the high possibility of the
individual.”And following in a
tradition that has produced
outstanding scholars, profes
sionals and public servants, he
went on to a brillant career as an
attorney state senator and civic
activist. Is it any wonder that,
though they enroll only 20% of
Black college students. Black col
leges produce 40% of Black college
graduates?
When you’re considering
colleges, doesn’t it make sense to
consider the ones that educated
achievers like Lawrence Douglas
Wilder? Attending one could lead
to a great future.
