Russ brings out some interesting concerns -- ones that I have not only felt for 
a long time, but have dealt with.  As the DOF at an HBCU for eight years, I can 
tell you that it will take more than a financial grant from CEDA to get things 
rolling in that specific community.  Please don't misunderstand -- a grant is 
certainly a step in the right direction.

The real question is whether we, as a predominantly white male community, are 
willing to confront many of our own misconceptions and prejudices to examine 
the problem from another perspective.  Sadly, my experience with the community 
has been less than encouraging.  We don't like confronting what makes us 
uncomfortable.
