Equal Opportunity
Nears, Loving Tells
A&T Audience
The first black full professor
at the University of Michigan
predicted last Tuesday night
that by the year 2,000, "equality
of opportunity will be a way of
life in the United States."
Dr. Alvin D. Loving, Sr., a
professor of education sincf*
1956, was the initial speaker on
the third annual summer lec
ture-lyeeum series at A&T State
University.
Address-' ' * nearly 200 stu
dents, faculty and persons from
the community, Loving said:
"As one looks at the Ameri
can scene, it seems foolhardy to
be optimistic, but either you
have faith in mankind or you
don't.
"People have said 'give us
100 years and we will solve our
differences,' added Loving. "We
no longer have 100 years."
Loving said he detects in this
nation substantial concern about
the social problems.
"If we were not concerned,"
he noted, "we would not have
been involved in the kind of
dialogue that produced the Ker
ner Report. This report is not
an end in itself, but it is a
part of the dialogue."
Loving said he has also been
encouraged by the rising con
cern being shown by govern
ment, the churches and such
groups as the Chambers of
Commerce in the various citiea.
He said that both the educa
