Abstract
In this audio recording, dated circa 1971, Dr. Vivian Wilson Henderson, president of Clark College in Atlanta, Georgia, addresses an audience of leaders in the United Methodist Church. Dr. Henderson’s speech focuses on the economic conditions unique to HBCUs. He points out particular financial “stressors” for the colleges, including a large number of students from low income families, lack of reliable alumni contributions, and increasing “academic aspirations” of faculty and students.
