Cheyney University of Pennsylvania is

America’s oldest historically Black institution

of higher education. Founded in 1837,
Cheyney will celebrate 170 years as an
institution of higher learning in 2007. By

February, 2007 October Gallery will have

completed its donation of 170 artworks to
Cheyney University Of Pennsylvania to help
mark this historical occasion.

Mercer received a Bachelor of Science degree
from Cheyney in 1971. He says besides

receiving a great education he remembers the
care, compassion and interest that the faculty

shared with the students at Cheyney. What
he says he is really giving back is the love and

cultural experience that Cheyney gave to him
and thousands of other African-American

students for 170 years.
