A Letter to Black Educators in Higher Education

Abstract: One cannot be both Black and in higher educa tion in white America. Current higher education is either irrelevant to or has negative consequences for Blacks, in cluding the exploitation of the miseries of nearby residents. The Blacks in white institutions are agents of the Estab lishment. My own experiences at various colleges and uni versities taught me this lesson. Integration and student busing are misleading issues. The problem is to keep Blacks from "walking the white line." Only wholly Black institu tions will create a new definition of Black education in white America.
