"It should never be forgotten that when educational opportunities were denied elsewhere, these institutions offered hope to black Americans."

"to advance the development of human potential"

"And to paraphrase the motto of the United Negro College Fund: Let us recognize that America's historic black college is a 'terrible thing to waste.'"

"to ensure that each president of a historically Black college or university is given the opportunity to comment on the proposed Annual Federal Plan"
