[[Image: Black Colleges "They're much too important to lose"]] WHY? Because they are the bedrock of black education, culture, heritage, pride and progress. They are a proven resource of leadership and achievement, and are our most effective source of black graduates. WHY? Because their high academic quality is proven. A large percentage of graduates go on to earn doctorates, and more are admitted to professional schools than those from major institutions. They hire more black professors, presidents, deans and business managers than all 3,000 other colleges combined. Clearly, black colleges are too important to lose. Help us to help them. HOW?
