MHRC honors
Rosenbaum
and Storrs.
The Metropolitan Human Relations Com­
mission on January 13 presented the-Russell
A. Peyton Human Relations Award to Fred M.
Rosenbaum for “his contribution to the entire
Portland community and his sincere dedica­
tion to serving and protecting the rights of
low-income people.” Mr. Rosenbaum, a sales
agent for Standard Insurance Co., served as
board chairman of the Housing Authority of
Portland from 1967 to 1980.
In addition to the award to Mr. Rosenbaum,
a special award was given to Dr. Frances J.
Storrs, an associate professor of dermatol­
ogy at the Oregon Health Sciences University
who served as chairman of a committee that
examined the Portland Police Bureau’s
system for investigating internal affairs com ­
plaints in 1982. The committee recom­
mended the formation of the Portland Inter­
nal Affairs Auditing Committee. Dr. Storrs
was also instrumental “in getting the ordi­
nance passed," Commissioner Charles
Jordan commented as he introduced Dr.
Storrs.
The Portland lesbian and gay community
was well represented at the awards luncheon
with the Reverend Delores P. Berry of Port­
land MCC delivering the invocation; and by
Keeston Lowrey, a MHRC member for several
years, who served as chairperson of the 1983
Russell A. Peyton Awards Committee.

Accompanying the Rev. Berry was Judy Kizer.
The featured speaker at the awards lunch­
eon was Lee P. Brown, formerly Multnomah
County’s director of Justice services and now
the Houston, Texas, police chief. Speaking
before a crowd of about 250, Brown paid
tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King and said he
regretted not having been with King during
his many civil rights struggles, and he spoke
frequently about the need to fight against
social inequity.
He spoke of the need to take action and
"speak the truth for what we know to be right"
and to take sides in the confrontation be­
tween those forces that seek to change soci­
ety and those that seek to maintain the status
quo.”
He blamed the growth of crime on "the
disparity between rich and poor, the haves
and have nots, the majority and the minority”
and said it was a “constant reminder that our
vision of equality has been blocked.”
"There is going on in America a game of
pretending," Brown said. “There are those
who would contend that there are not prob­
lems associated with being non-white and
poor in America."

tion not in the court system. The 1983 Com­
munity Service Award was presented to the
Right to Privacy, PAC by Gary Benoit E m ­
peror X. Accepting the award for Right to
Privacy, PAC was Keeston Lowrey; Mr. Lowrey
is the treasurer of the organization.
"Though the Right to Privacy has previ­
ously received recognition from other state
and national organizations, this is the first
time a local gay organization has paid tribute
to the PAC’s contribution to the community
by supporting the work it does in supporting
political candidates sensitive to the issues of
gay rights,” said Sanford Director in a state­
ment to Just O ut
“Right to Privacy has fast become one of
Oregon’s largest group of politically active
lesbians and gay men," Director said. "Or­
ganized to end discrimination and to protect
the civil rights of the gay community, the
PAC’s annual Lucille Hart Dinnei has already
become the largest progressive political
fundraiser in the state. Last year’s dinner,
which was attended by some 42 0 friends and
supporters of gay rights and which raised
$23,000, convincingly demonstrted to legis­
lators and senators throughout the state the
commitment of Oreogn's gay community to
control their own future."
Among Right to Privacy, PAC’s plans for
1984 is a massive voter registration drive to
begin in the early spring, a PAC open house,
and organizing for the third annual Lucille
Hart Dinner. Tickets for the dinner are
scheduled to go on sale in June around Les­
bian and Gay Pride Week.
