Success doesn't just happen. It is the reward that comes from a siricere
commitment to achieve excellence. It's this kind of commitment that forged an
agreement between the NAACP and the Chrysler Corporation. It's called Fair
Share. And it was a perfect match for Chrysler'S already aggressive focus on their
Minority Dealer Development Program. Chrysler has a reputation for providing the
best dealership locations and having the most financially secure minority-owned
dealerships in the automotive industry Successful dealers like Winston R. Pittman,
Sr., E. Dale Early and Clarence Parker are part of this elite group.
When these dealers succeed, the minority community .succeeds as well.
As role models, they give hope to future minority dealers and, as contributors
to the UNCF,'the Chrysler Minority-Dealer Association (�MDA) members playa

foundation of the CMDA teaches us all that nothing su ceeds like success. '

Morgan emphasized that the
A&M plan was different from
the UT proposal because it
would offer students many
courses from which to choose a
multicultural course.
And he id it differed from
the A&M liberal arts require­
ment because the required mi­

more toward comparing and con­
