MDREHDUSE COLLEGE ATLANTA, GEORG IA 30314 Telephone: Area Code 40416819800. Ext.441 Office of the President MESSAGE TO THE CLASS OF 1981 You are graduating from Morehouse at a time when the immediate future is not bright for B1ack Americans. Viewing the nation as a who1e, we observe an increase in crimes against our pe0p1e, a dec1ine of racial justice in the courts, and a resurgeoce of the Ku K1ux K1an in severa1 sections of the country. In Congress we see attempts to reverse some of the civ11-rights gains of the 1960's. The Senate has passed 1egis1ation designed to prevent the Justice Department from fi11ng or assisting in suits that wou1d 1ead to bussingof schoo1 chi1dren to promote desegregation. One Senator has proposed repea1 of the Voting Rights 8111 of 1965, and another has ca11ed for a constitutiona1 amendment prohibiting governmentaordered rac1a1 quotas and affirmative action. Some Congressmen are giving serious consideration to reducing budgets by cutting back programs that benefit the disadvantaged. Here at Morehouse Seniors are 1earhing that there are more barriers b1ock1ng entry into graduate and professiona1 schoo1s and that fe11ow- ships are 1ess p1entifu1 than they were in the pre-Bakke years, and Admissions Officers are finding that white co11eges are competing just as vigorous1y for ta1ented B1ack ath1etes but not so aggressive1y for gifted B1ack students. what do these trends mean for you as members of the C1ass of 1981? These trends mean that you must make exce11ence your standard so that your high qua1ifications W111 make it difficu1t for anyone to deny you when you seek fe11owsh1ps at universities or emp1oyment 1n the wor1d of work. These trends a1so mean that you must join in the strugg1e to ho1d c1v11-r1ghts gains of the past and overthrow the remaining vestiges of rac1a1 discrimination in this nation. Asyou embark upon the per11ous seas of the 1980's, your A1ma Mater congratu1ates you upon the successfu1 como1etion of your undergraduate work, extends best wishes for your future success and happiness, and urges you to remember your responsib11ity as Morehouse Men to reach the topmost heights in your profession and to 11ft our peop1e c1oser to justice and equa1ity in this country. Sincere1y yours, 172 M7 A Xi: . - 5.6;? 97? 1 Hugh M. G1oster President OVER A CENTURY OF SERVICE EUtLDING MEN
