The multifaceted story of the UNCF. Winner, Outstanding Publication
Award, American Educational Research Association Etched into
America's consciousness is the United Negro College Fund's phrase
"A mind is a terrible thing to waste." This book tells the story of
the organization's efforts on behalf of black colleges against the
backdrop of the cold war and the civil rights movement. Founded
during the post-World War II period as a successor to white
philanthropic efforts, the UNCF nevertheless retained vestiges of
outside control. In its early years, the organization was
restrained in its critique of segregation and reluctant to lodge a
challenge against institutional and cultural racism. Through cogent
analysis of written and oral histories, archival documents, and the
group's outreach and advertising campaigns, historian Marybeth
Gasman examines the UNCF's struggle to create an identity apart
from white benefactors and to evolve into a vehicle for black
empowerment. The first history of the UNCF, Envisioning Black
Colleges draws attention to the significance of black colleges in
higher education and the role they played in Americans' struggle
for equality.
