But to a certain Dr Carver of Tuskegee University;
peanut was the key to hundreds of products, with
tial to keep Tuskegee-and the south-self-suppOtting.
ust as Carver unlocked the secrets of the peanut, Black col
leges and universities are tapping the awesome potential of
generations of young people. In this unique environment,
students have the opportunity to playas large a role in cam
pus life as their talents will allow. Class president. Home
coming queen. Captain of the debate team. Quarterback or
Shakespearean acto! At Black colleges, every door is open;
no dream is too ambitious. Is it any wonder that, though
they enroll only 16% of Black college students, Black
colleges produce 37% of all Black college graduates?
IWlhafs more, those graduates take with them the character
and achievement that unlock the doors of the finest graduate
schools, businesses and political offices. When vou're con
sidering colleges, shouldn't you consider the ones that gave
us Martin Luther Kingjr, Thurgood Marshall and Iesse Iack
son? If you're out to make the most of what you have, no
one can teach you more.
