organization has been
described as “a chain of
friends with common in
terests.”
The organization
promotes a variety of
programs to enrich the
lives of its memberships,
as well as the outside
world, in the areas of
education, civics and
culture. The Links’ effor
ts range from the
promotion and spon
sorhip of the arts to sup
port for nursing homes
and daycare centers as
well as services to im
prove academic skills and
to provide updates on
national and inter
national affairs.
In commenting on the
upcoming presentation,
Edley said’ “The Links
have taken the UNCF
and its 42 member
colleges into their family
and this adoption show
the foresight, love and
dedication of the Black
woman.”
He said, “The Links’
donations clearly demon
strate their understanding
of the realities of
American education that
the Black colleges have
always been and will
continue to be essential to
the education of Black
youth in America.”
He said, “The simple
fact is that there can be
no Black progress
without Black
education.”
I
, Some 45,000 students
are enrolled in UNCF’s
42 fully accredited in
stitutions and more than
90 percent of these
students require financial
aid to cover college ex

an extension of the cam

Originally scheduled to

Osborne,
“Hopefully, all fun
draising efforts in sup
port of UNCF will be
equally as successful as
porations and small
businessess. Currently, 43
percent of the SIOO,OOO
goal has been met. Cam
paign officials cite con
fusion over the annual
local telethon as one
reason for the slower
receipt of pledges than in
past years. Normally, a
locally brodcast telethon
held in June brings in an
excess of SIO,OOO. This

“The contribution
illustrates the increased
concern McDonald’s has
for the 42 private,
predominantly black
colleges and universities
supported by UNCF.”
Fundraising activities
for UNCF are organized by
other McDonald’s across
the country each year.
McDonald’s restaurants,
nationally, donated
nearly $200,000 to UNCF
in 1983.

As she talked about her life, a
theme that ran throughout her
reflections was that the separation
will not be for long, at the most a
year, and that “This is the last
time.” But until the family reunion
takes place, Beverly, Joseph, and
Kori console each other on the

together.
