Dean Monro says that AAAAS, today, performs three valuable functions: it provides the Negro student with a place where "he can take off his shoes and be like people." Second, "It's clear that the Negro people have to develop their own institutional strength if they're going to get anywhere. That's the way our society works, and that's the way it will continue to work." And third, it helps, especially through its Journal, to put new concepts and formulations into language, a vital function and one that "must be done from a black point of view...

...last two are perhaps most important: "The white community is a very tough community, inert and satisfied. It simply won't do for a splinter group [such as the Negro] to be dependent upon a highly organized majority.
