Club Forms to Promote Black Culture "All of us , black , white, green, or grisly gray , want to know about our history. It excites me to know the first successful open-heart surgeon was black," Richard King , Harding's on ly black faculty member , explained as he discussed the newly formed , Skotia. A club for the promotion of black culture , Skotia began meeting in September of 1984. The club was chartered to "fill an area sort of lacking in the social aspect of the black student," according to Dr. Ted Altman , Vice President for Stu - dent Affairs . Because the school, as well as Searcy, are predominantly white , Altman felt the need for a program to "promote general understanding" warranted the establishment of the speCialized club. Altman gives all credit for the establishment to King, an assistant professor of Bible. The idea began, according to King , as a discussion he had with Sheila (Harper) Allen in 1980 about Black History Month. Allen , a graduate of the School of Nursing, encouraged King to obtain approval for the small group of black students to present a program for the student body during the February celebration. Once the permission from the administration was obtained, Allen went to work and the first program, lasting a week , aimed at discrediting stereotypes . Since 1980, Black History Week at Harding has become a tradition and has included such notable speakers as Marva Collins , a major Chicago school reformer ; Eldridge Cleaver, a one-time member of Black Panthers who is now a Christian ; Dr. Jack Evans , President of Southwestern Christian Col - lege ; and Alex Haley , author of Malcolm X and Roots. The 1985 program featured Rod· ney Slater, Director of Minority Affairs for Arkansas . As the success of 8lack History Week grew, King felt a greater and greater need for a specific organization for black students. Once again he re - quested permission for a Harding first: A culture-awareness club. The administration granted his request and the club called "Skotia ," a Greek term meaning "darkness," was formed. King became the sponsor of the club along with Paul Pollard , an associate professor of Bible and Hebrew who believes the organization provides an opportunity for both black and whites to learn from one another and to grow together.
