Local black leaders have started a landmark drive to get black churches
statewide to give $11 million to North Carolina's 11 historically black
colleges and universities over the next five years.
'There can be no greater connection in the African-American community than
through the black church,' said the Rev. Carlton Eversley of Dellabrook
Presbyterian Church in Winston-Salem.
Eversley will serve as the unpaid director for N.C. Black Churches for N.C.
Black Colleges and Universities.
The nonprofit agency, based in Winston-Salem, will announce its plans today
and hopes to give $1 million to each of the state's historically black
colleges and universities, ranging from relatively prosperous state schools,
such as Winston-Salem State University, to private schools that have
undergone financial struggles, such as Barber-Scotia College in Concord.
Organizers say they don't want any North Carolina schools to go the route of
historically black colleges in other parts of the country that have come to
the brink of closing in recent years.
'There's still a lot of money out there and none of our schools should go
under,' said the Rev. John Mendez of Emmanuel Baptist Church in
Winston-Salem, who helped organize the program.
The push comes as some churches struggle for money and historically black
colleges face their own set of challenges brought by the economic downturn.
Some of the schools wrestle with identity and try to attract nonblack
students to increase enrollment, even as predominantly white colleges often
lure black students away from historically black schools.
At the same time, a few critics even say that historically black schools, at
least in their present form, are an idea whose time has passed.
Jacqueline Pollard, the vice president for institutional advancement at
Bennett College, is tired of such criticism.
'We're always putting forth the argument for why historically black colleges
and universities should exist,' Pollard said. 'The question should be, 'Why
not?''
Supporters say that historically black schools produce successful graduates
by providing a supportive environment that black students, sometimes the
first in their families to attend college, need. The schools give students a
sense of identity and history, supporters say, and that history includes
close ties with churches.
The Rev. Brad Braxton, a professor at Wake Forest University, said that the
push to help historically black schools 'is calling us back to the best in
the black-church tradition.'
'In our better and best moments, the black church has always understood the
value of education.'
But others say that support from those black churches has not always been
strong.

11 million to educate a race which posesses, at the very best, an average IQ
of 85.
11 million dollars to fund more farcial afrocentric "we done beez
egyptians!" education.
11 million dollars that, if these negro churches had any compassion, would
be donated to ease the suffering of the tens of thousands of whites who are
victimized by savage, criminal niggers every year.

Slavery is the worst low yield investment, worse that keeping your
cash in a passbook savings account at the bank.
For what niggers cost, then you gotta feed them, clothe them, treat
their diseases and for the amount of work you get out of them before
they run off or some retard president sets them free...
Sorry, not worth it.

I agree, Mexicans make much better farming equipment. They just need to have
that Aztlan bullshit thrashed out of them every once in a while.
