Ihe Negro needs^pride, past, learning1
Editors Note: This Is the first
of a three part series dealing
with the current demand for
■black  studies*
colleges and universities.
By Gloria Wolford
NEW YORK (UPI) — Negroea
on campuses are searchng for a
past that will give them dignity
and pride In themselves and their
future. Their demands for
■black studies* courses may
forceVlraroatlc changes In Ameri¬
can higher education and new di¬
mensions In career opportunities.
They have opened up a largely
unexplored areaofAmericanhis¬
tory by Insisting upon learning
more about the Negro.
■Blacks have never had what
we call a usable past,' Colum¬
bia historian Eric Fooer, a white
man, says. *They should get one.
Current texts deal with his¬
tory as lt Is perceived by whites.
Too little research has been done
on black contributions.'
Black students are demanding
to know, in detail, about Crlspus
Attucks, a negro killed In the
Boston Massacre of 1770, about
the slaves who rallied around An¬
drew Jackson in New Orleans in
the War of 1812; about the Black
They also want to know about
Africa. Negroes are the only
minority group In the United
States who did not come of their
own free will and who were not
permitted to cling to past tra¬
ditions and culture until they
became established In the United
States.
■The problem Is that educa-
phaslzlng only the contributions
of white Americans,* ' a Stan¬
ford sophomore, said.
A senior at Mount Holyoke
In Massachusetts finds the situa¬
tion "defeating."
Black novelist (' James O.
Klllens, currently teaching a
course In black culture at Co¬
lumbia, says black students are
afraid. of losing their Identity
In a "Great White  Fog.*
•There Is a need for the
American Negro to develop a
positive concept of himself," says
Betty Ann Chllders, a student at
Spelman College In Atlanta.
To try to supply lt, at least 75
colleges and universities out of
more than 100 surveyed by UPI

■ Despite all the good will In the
world, lt Is difficult to find on
most university campuses a fac¬
ulty or administration that grasps
what lt means to be black In
America or has a deep and sen¬
sitive awareness of black history,
black culture or black outlook,*
Chancellor Thomas H. Eliot at
Washington University In St.
Louis said recently. Eliot hopes
to remedy the situation at Wash-
Although many of the schools
surveyed by UPI offer courses
that fit into the black studies
category, some dating back 3C
years, few have full programs
going.
There are four basic ap¬
proaches:
-Black courses In existing de¬
partments such as history, an¬
thropology and sociology.
-Development of a program
grouping together courses In all
phases of Negro history, culture
and politics and sometimes lead¬
ing to a degree.
-Establishment   of a  depart-

permit a student to major in black
studies   and receive a degree.
-Development of a separate
•Institute* which has few ties
to the college.
Pennsylvania State University
with 310 Negroes In Its student
body of 25,000, has no plans to
put Its scattered courses Into
a separate program. Syracuse
University, with 310 Negroes out
of 22,000, Is looking Into es¬
tablishing a program as are Tem¬
ple and the University of Penn-
Cornell trustees voted April 13
to establish a center for Afro-
American Studies, allocating
$240,000. The center Is to be
In operation next year and will
offer enough courses to establish
a major by 1971.
Only two schools are using the
separate Institute approach and
one of them, is setting up such
an Institute to skirt black de¬
mands for •autonomy* which
officials feel violate academic
freedom. The Issue of ■autono¬
my* has led to clashes at some
schools suchasBrendels,asmall
liberal Massachusetts university
where students took over the ad¬
ministration building for two
weeks.
Harvard University with about
200 blacks and Federal City Col¬
lege In Washington with 2,000stu-
dents, 95 per cent of them black,
have both announced they will
offer a degree In black studies.
But Harvard has no courses
yet and Federal City College was
unable to come up with a program
that  suited  all  factions  at  the
San Francisco State College
had one of the better developed
programs in black studies but,
as one outgrowth of months
of campus disturbances, Dr.
Nathan Hare, who was hired to
run lt, refused to approve courses
for this semester and his pro¬
gram   was   canceled  until  fall.
What brought the militant Hare
to San Francisco State was more
than 30 courses with titles rang¬
ing from 'Black History* and
•Black Politics" to the "Eco¬
nomics of thoBlackCommunlty,*
and the "Development of Black
Leadership." It was, Hare said,
the first school he had heard of
with such fields.
Hare had been on the faculty
of Howard University In Wash¬
ington, D.C. until 1967.
Howard, a black school, has

would not be caught dead
at any so-called Negro univer¬
sity,* Hare said.
Columbia's Klllens, who thinks
of himself as a firebrand too,
is not so critical of "Negro uni¬
versities.' "They have done some
good,* Klllens said, but few of
them, offer the type of black cul¬
ture course he teaches. \     •
•This course is taking us back
to soul,* Klllens tells his stu¬
dents. In the past we were al¬
ways trying not to look at our
history, to forget lt. But the
. chanting that still goes on in
churches In small Georgia towns
Is parallel to the chants in Afri- ■*
ca. The rhythms In black music
are rooted in African rhythms.
When I toured Africa, I saw
quite a bit of dancing which can
be compared to what's going onln
cocktail lounges In America now,
the movements are not a new fad.
Black culture has enriched the
culture of America.*
Klllen's aim Is clearly black
pride, which he says will result
In  black power and leadership.
San Francisco State and Tufts »
University In Massachusetts are
aiming at programs that will have
some feedback Into the com¬
munity and develop black leader¬
ship. Their courses Include "field
work*  In  the black community.
San Francisco State officials,
In outlining plans for their pro¬
gram last year, put lt this way:
■Those graduating with a de¬
gree In black studies could be¬
come probation officers, case
workers, poverty workers, or
enter graduate or professional
schools In preparation for ca¬
reers as lawyers, teachers,
scholars. . .*

.-cording to Hayakawa, the

there was no board of publications

not representative of the student
