| Description |
United Negro College Fund: Dr. Frederick D. Patterson founded the United Negro College fund in 1944. He and the presidents of the member colleges of the Fund began meeting in 1946 at Holly Knoll, the retirement home of the late Robert Russa Moton. Patterson had established Holly Knoll Associates in 1945 to serve as a conference center for black educators. Their meetings contributed to the growth and reputation of the United Negro College Fund, which aids more than 40 historically black colleges and provides student scholarships and faculty grants. The fund is known for its motto, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste." Robert Russa Moton: Robert Russa Moton was born in Amelia County, Virginia, on 26 August 1867, and was educated in a local freedmen's school and at Hampton Institute (now Hampton University). He served as an administrator at the institute from 1890 as president of the Tuskegee Institute. There Moton led the school to full collegiate accreditation, An advisor to five U.S. presidents and a founder of the Urban League, he retired to Holly Knoll (10 miles northwest) in 1935. Moton died on 31 May 1940. Holly Knoll was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1981. |
