a d where w need d to go, and
at we needed to do to get there."
ilder, the nation's highest -rank-
i g Black elected state official,
a tributes that world-beating
a itude to the in pi ring role
dels he found at Virginia Union
U iversily, one of America's Blac
c lieges.
In an atmosphere of high
i ellectual quality, young Douglas
ilder discovered what he calls,
"the high possibility of the
individual." And following in a
tradition that has produced
outstanding scholars, profes
sionals and public servants, he
went on to a brillant career as an
attorney, state senator and civic
activist. 'S it any wonder that
though they enroll only 20% of
Bla k co leg stud nts Black col
leges produ_ce 40% of Black colleg�
graduates?
When you're considering
colleges, doesn't it make sense to
consider th ones that ducated

Wilder? Attending on ould lead
