Block Studies survives, expands
by Kosemarv Allen
One $16.654 budget rut,
one new director and one
year later the Portland State
U n iversity Black S tu dies
Program still survives.
In
April of 1974 there was
question of whether there
would even be a Black
Studies Program at Portland
State University in 1974 75.
Today the Black Studies
Program is an “academic
interdisciplinary unit" within
the Urban Studies Center
and its offices have been
relocated in the Francis
Manor Building.
S everal
c u r r ic u lu m
changes have been made.
Due to the tremendous
budget cut (approx. 45%I the
program received, it now has
an FTE of only 2. half as
much as in 1973 74 Yet the
prwgram seems to be even
‘ stronger thlgi 1« Girt-. Where
there were iiuqstiohs arising
from time Id title in the past
about the relevancy or credi
bility of m >Q c Jilack jjt i^lu-s
courses, today i all questions
can clearly be answered by
v iew in g the scope and
quality of the Black Studies
Program.
“The Black Studies Pro
gram.” according to new
Director Dr. William Harris,
“in focusing on Urban Black
America and the problems
that Blacks occur in the
innercity; and secondly to
prepare students for careers
in core city work."
All except one of the
instructors. Professor Me
Kinley Burt, in the Black
Studies Program are new
this year.
They all are
excellently qualified and all
are fairly young.
Professor Darrell Milner,
26, has a B.S. in English
from Cal Poly University, a
Masters in Curriculum and
Instruction from the Uni
versity of Oregon and will
complete his Doctorate de
gree at the University of
Oregon in June of 1975.
Millner teaches Afro-Ameri­
can History. He commented
on Black Studies at PSU and
its importance. “I think it is
potentially the best on the
West Coast, for a number of
reasons, especially because of
the strong direction it is
receiving. Black Studies is
important because it serves
as a bandage to the edu
rational system. The system
is designed not to teach the
truth.
Jt is designed to
promote the status quo.
Black Studies re evaluates
traditional things.
That’s
why it is especially im
portant to the white student.
It reevaluates traditional
concepts and myths.”
Winter term of 1975 four
new instructors will be
coming to the Black Studies
Program with a wide di­
versified background of edu
rational experience.
Bessie
Fields, who is currently the
Director of the Foreign
Student Program and Fin
ancial Aid Counselor to all
federal programs at PSU,
will teach the course en
titled , Black Women in
America. Fields is currently
working on a Masters at
PSU in Social Science. She
has a BS in Social Science
from Tri City College where
she minored in Education.
Fields is currently teaching
a class call Minority Re
lations at Portland Com
munity College.
Ancer Haggerty is a grad
uate of Hastens la w School
Haggerty is now a lawyer in
the Public Defender's office
in Portland.
His rlass.
Blacks and the Constitution,
will focus on the consti­
tutional basis of decisions
and laws that influenced the
historical developement of
Blacks.
A course called Health
Planning in the Innercity will
be taught by Professor
Byron Walters who is from
Berkeley. California. Walters
received a BS in Engi­
neering Physics from Case
Western Reserve in Cleve­
land. Ohio and a Masters in
Public Health from the Uni
versity of California in Berk-
eley.
He was Director of
Urban Studies at l^ney Col
lege from 1970-72. and is
currently enrolled in the
Ph.D program of Urban
Studies at PSU.
Ron Herndon is a graduate
of Reed College with a B.S.
in History. Herndon came to
Portland in 1966 from New
York where he had been
working as a block organizer
in East Harlem dealing with
people concerns.
He will
lie instructing Urban Educa
lion Problems. In Portland.
Herndon was one of the
founders of ihe Black Educa
tional Center, a highly ac­
credited school for children
in grades kmdergarden thru
second grade, which is being
operated year round on a
full time basis this year for
the first time ever. Herndon
is currently a counselor at
the Albina Youth Oppor
tunity School in North Port
land.
The Black Studies Pro­
gram from all apparent signs
is growing, although in small
proportions, into perhaps one
of the most significant pro
grams on PSU's campus.
However its Director Dr.
Harris points out that there
are, "major areas that aren't
being covered." due to a lack
of sufficient staff and money.
The Black Studies Pro
gram at PSU is the only
University in this area to
offer a certificate in Black
Studies. Its relevancy is no
longer in question. The only
question left to be asked now
is. what can be done to help
it grow "even stronger".
