'A BLACK DREAM j B lack
v o tin g
p o w e r g ro w s
by Elizabeth Ann Churchwell
F o r Twenty-Two years, I've
lived in a Dream Society Cal
led Portland, Oregon. To be
Black and Proud was quite a
th r ill - But when I awaken my
mind draws a blank, and 1 soon
bag an to wonder what kind of
society should 1 give thanks
fo r when 1 pray night and
day.............................................
1 walk the streetsday byday,
I see sm iling faces of all na
tionalities some good- some
bad - some rich - some poor,
and then 1 really wonder if this
is what wa called really to
gether.......................................
People have often empha
sized the fact that all of us
should walk with our head up
high- keeping our mouth shut,
fo r our own good—don’t talk
unless its to save your life or
to say Yes S ir, or maybe Yes
Marne. But the important thing
to remember is m nd your
business and no ones elses,
and you'll always be glad not
happy.........................................
Of course our people only
know a few places to go, the
firs t p la c e we think of is
•GEN3VAS*, where we can
get it re a lly together, pick up
a drink, a lady? a man? and of
course alot of Conversation-
Gossip.
But d lg if w i want to get dowi
we can always go to the Key-
Hole, the Turquoise room and
a few other black and white
places, to, as our Black men
say, dig the sound, but is that
true? or is all this called es
cape or sneaky ?????????????
There are alot of why's,
what's and becauses in P ort
land, but the main one is we're
together. W e've had more vio
lence in Portland and dying
then we’ ll ever dream of the
years to come or coming
months may surprise us all in
alot of ways good and bad.
I ’m Just dreaming 1 know but
1 want to see a better portland.
Land of many opportunities for
a ll nationalities and better
fa cilitie s fo r all our people,
black and white, especially the
poor. And It wouldn't hurt to
add a little entertainment fo r
a change, like real entertain
ment.
Right now all we needtodois
stop dreaming and make the
best of things in the open cause
really I just woke up and it
seemed 1 ike I had a hang over
and it wasn't from drinking,
it's from "seeing our city, on
the real real side."
W KKE L’P PEOPLE BEFORE
ITS TOO LATE.
There are about 103 m illio n
blacks in the eleven states of
the South, making up one-
fourth of the total population.
Approximately three m illio n
blacks have registered to vote.
Today blacks are electing
blacks to important positions
in urban centers as well as
in ru ra l areas.
They are
electing whites also, with the
black
voting power being
instrumental in the election
of the new group of more
moderate governors.
There are more than 700
black elected o fficials in the
eleven Southern states, among
them 28 mayors and 40 legis
lators.
There
are black
mayors in the predominately
white cities of Chapel HUI,
PCC launches legal program
A rth u r L . Tarlow, Beaver
ton attorney and form er De
puty D is tric t Attorney fo r
Multnomah County, is helping
to pioneer a new Legal Tech
nology career program at
Portland Community College.
Tarlow , cu rre n tly in private
practice with Myatt, B olliger,
Hampton, and Freerksen of
Beaverton and on the resident
faculty of the National College
of D is tric t Attorneys, teaches
"A d m in istra tio n and Organi
zation of Judicial Agencies"
each Tuesday eveing atPCC's
Sylvania center in southwest
Portland. He describes the
course as a general intro
duction to judicial structure,
adm inistration, and legal his
to ry. F o rty students are en
rolled in Tarlow 's class which
is one of two im itai PCC
offerings aim ad at training
people fo r careers in the legal
profession. A second course,
"E states and T ru s ts " which
has an enrollment of 35 stu
dents is taught by D r. Harold
Wren, Dean of the North
western School of Law, Lewis
and C lark College.
When questioned on the need
fo r the new program, Tarlow
said, "Law yers are facing the
re a lity that legal assistants
are necessary to the economic
survival of attorneys, and
national and local effo rt is
being made to train assistants.
Portland Com-nunity College
is one of the firs t to utilize
its fa cilitie s to promote edu
cation, training, and coopera
tion between legal secretaries
associations
and the bar
associations. PCC has re
alized the need fo r this pro
gram and has gotten in
volved."
Legal Technology at Port
land Community College w ill
expand during 1971-72 to pro
vide a continuing program
which w ill prepare students
fo r legal careers. There w ill
be a core of fundamental skills
courses which all studentswill
take or challenge. A fter ac
quiring

the court system;
investi
gator, working fo r private
firm s , insurance companies,
o r law lnforcemant agencies;
legal assistant, a legal para-
professional working under
the d ire ct supervision of an
attorney in the completion of
legal assignments; and legal
secretary, a secretary spe-
Instrum întal in the develop
ment of PCC’ s Legal Techno
logy Program is an Ad Hoc
Advisory Committee com
posed of ludges, private prac
ticing attorneys, law office
managers, the staff of North
western School of Lae, the
Multnomah and Washington
counties Legal Secretaries
Associations,
and
court
clerks.
As M r.
Tarlow
says,
"T here is a surprisingly large
number of law offices whi h
have committed themselves to
having legal assistants. We
are only beginning the neces
sary training and development
of these Dara-professional-
-in fact, I'm sure we have
yet to realize their fullpoten-
tail of service to the legal
profession.

sing of children to achieve
racial desegregation; and pre
sent fo r recognition of educa
tion as a top national p rio rity .

Black officials feel that they
are effective, especially in
modifying the traditional white
attitudes toward blacks and
in demonstrating to other
blacks that there are political
opportunities.
F orm erly,
when blacks looked atgovem -
mant it was all black.
There are also hazards.
Rev. RalphAbemathyexplain-
ed that most black officials
are elect&l with a significant
number of white votes, which
has a tendency to cause black
elected officials to be mod
erate in their programs. Also,
as
blacks increase their
representation, whites tend to
change the rules to dUute
their power.
Since the passage of the
\ oter Rights Act in 1905,
blacks in the South have turned
out to vote in numbers, bring
ing social and p o litica l pro
gress.
