Drive To Help Negro Colleges
The United College Fund drive is getting under way for its sixth campaign. I know that most of us have been burdened with giving and giving, but we must continue to give. The Bible tells us that it is more blessed to give than to receive.
Our race group will benefit from this campaign in a large way. Thirty-one colleges will get this money, and they need the money. It takes huge sums of money to operate first-class schools and colleges in these times. Our Negro colleges are doing a great job to educate boys and girls in the southland. We must give more attention to the education of the masses of our people. We are just beginning to break the ice on this question of educating thousands of our people. A big task lies ahead.
Through our Negro colleges, the job can be done. When you give you are helping to educate your boys and girls. The sooner we can raise the educational status of the 13 million Negroes in this country, we will be well on the road to a fuller integration as first class citizens. - James A. Hattiett, Jr. in The Plaindealer (Kansas City, Kans.)
