Black Student Union
FORMATION
On every college campus that has a Black population, the cry for unity can be heard. Sometimes it brings to the surface the core of basic issues which confront Black Americans across the nation. Sometimes it is weak in volume and fades into the "ho-hum" yawns of the administration officials. But most commonly the cry succeeds in bringing together young minds. Black minds, militant, radical, conservative and lost, who are willing to dedicate themselves to a common cause and need.
After many years of utter silence and mulled cries, the Black population at West Chester State College finally took heed, but instead of crying they screamed and the word Unity stood foremost in the minds of Black students. In September of 1970, the B.S.U. was formed on the WCSC campus. The purpose of the Union was to serve as a unifier of all the Black organizations and committees on campus. Huk Bethea was voted the first Chairman of the Union. The B.S.U. proved to be very successful in the first year as it brought about many firsts-such as Black History Week, and Black Film Festivals.
The B.S.U. promises to be bigger and better than before.
THE BEGINNING
The beginning year 1970-1971 proved to be a planning year. Under the direction of Huk Bethea, the Black students went about the task of orginization of a strong B.S.U.
Activities planned during the first year were: freshmen orientation program, Black Culture Forums, dealing with art, poetry, etc,; April Black Arts Festival; and many Soul Dances.
One of the most outstanding feats of the B.S.U. was the completion of the Black experience booklet. "First Steps." This booklet was designed to give some ideas what it is like to live in the atmosphere of West Chester State College.
The year 1970-1971 was the beginning; the beginning of Black people coming together at West Chester State College.
The Black Student Union is open to all West Chester State College students, faculty and staff, who are interested and concerned in the "BLACK" cause, regardless of race, color, and creed.
