Black students present aspects of Black culture during Black H istory Week program at
Richmond Elementary School in Southeast Portland.
Black students explain culture
A Black culture program
was presented at Richmond
Elementary School Friday
morning, February 16, in a
moving one hour session. The
program was hosted by M rs .
Joleen H a rris and her seventh
grade class, in conjunction
with Black H istory Week.
The program was co-ordin
ated by 12 year old Kevin
D a rre ll B erry, a seventh
grade studentatKellogSchool,
who was also master of cere
monies.
Six students from Lincoln
High School consisting of
Theresa Ross, A rtie Grissom,
Charlesetta Slater,
Ronnie
Turner, and Raymond Pasch
al) opened the program by
leading the singing of the
“ Black National Anthem,"
with M iss Princlne Boyd at
the piano, and M r. Norman
Wooding directing.
Following this, Raymond
Paschall and Princine Boyd
gave excerpts of early Black
culture and inventions here in
A m erica.
As gospel music has always
been an integral part of Black
culture, M r , Norman Wooding
captured the audience with
his rendition of "Beans of
Heaven,”
L a rry Turner, a seventh
grader of Robert Gray Ele
mentary School, gave his ver
sion of his great pride in be
ing Black.
M artin Luther King Ele
mentary School was well rep
resented by Waynom Cowley,
another seventh grader, who
gave an instrumental solo,
“ The Sack W altz,” by John

Entering the second phase,
a portion of the "Shades of

Antoine-guitarist, M r.H arvey
McDaniels on the Bass, M iss
Joanne Bowles (a Grant High
School student) on the drums,
M r . Kenneth B e rry at the
piano and organ, with M r.
Gregg Smith, vocalist, dis
played th e ir rare musical tal
ents, as they gave out with a
pulsating rythm of "Searching
fo r L o v e ," an original w ritten
by the vocalist himself, M r.
Smith.
It was then that the entire
audience was "so u fu lly get-,
ting with i t , " as the Hames
fam ily, youngsters of Rev
erend and M rs . F , Hames,
stepped forth with th e ir "way
out” rendition of "H eard it
F rom The Grapevine.” The
group, organized only three
weeks ago. is comprised of
18 year old Lauralyn, Fenney
16, V alerie 12, Paula 11, 7-
year old twins - Rondella and
Kelane, and the main attrac
tion of the group, 5-year old
Antoine, who never once lost
a single step o r beat in their
unusual performance.
Then M iss A rtie Grissom,
•of Lincoln High School, took
command of the microphone
with " I ' l l Take You There,”
as sung by the great Staple
singers. Performing in the
back-ground with her solo was
Steve Lee of Central Catholic
High, Michael and A lfred
Caldwell of Grant High School,
V alerie Potts of M arkum Ele
mentary, and Lauralyn and
Fennie Potts, of Madison High
School.
Both the principal M r.
Haight, and M rs . H a rris ex
pressed extreme gratefulness
and satisfaction with the entire
program, as they felt it would
serve to contribute much to
ward broadening the scope of
understanding between races,
as with many of th e ir students,
thia had actually been their
very fir s t encounter o r ex
perience with Black students.

Apart from that, the P o rt
land Men's Center trie s to
make the house as home-like
as possible fo r the men stay
ing there, by trying to get them
to feel a part of it. by grant
ing them as much freedom as
the law allows and by using
guidelines which yield to the
needs of the moment and the
individual rather than hard and
fast rules. No more than two
men are assigned to a room
and they are allowed to deco
rate th e ir rooms in almost
any way they want.
That may not seem like
much to a person who has
never spent any time in ja il.
But as Bud Hanson, the direc
to r of the Portland Men’ s
Center, described it, "w e 're
working with men who have
been in prison fo r up to ten
years. In prison they never
had to take any responsibility
fo r themselves o r anything
else. In fact, some of the
men have never had to take
any responsibility in their
life ."
P a rt of that responsibility
given the men allows them to
form a Resident Advisory
Council. It meets once a week
to discuss the various living
problems of the residents and
attempt to straighten out the
problems which have o r may
create some d ifficu lty. The
decisions handed down by this
council range anywlere from a
lim it on the length of time a
resident may use the phone to
a plan to help one of the new
resident's fam ily get situated,
o r being the staff fo r those
who s till have the old prison
hang-up of notwantingto speak
to "the M an."
This week the 1973 Oregon
State Legislature performed
its most significant action of
this session when the House
passed the comprehensive tax
b ill, generally known as the
McCall Plan. The vote was
43 to 16, with most of the sup
port comm mg from the Dem
ocratic side of the aisle.
Speaker of the House, Richard
Eymann, took the floor, in an
unusual act fo r a speaker, to
plead fo r support forthe mea
sure.
Representative Wally
P riestley carried the section
of the b ill relating to trans
portation, He received com
mendation from the Speaker
as well as others fo r his pre-
s e n t a t io n . Representative
P riestley coined the term
" r u r a l overburden", in ref
erence to the school trans
portation issue, and in re
sponse to rural legislator's
c ritic is m of features favor
ing Portland.
Representative
Priestley
also serves on the House Com
mittee on Transportatlon, anil
in this connection expressed
substantial disapproval over
the Highway Commission's
Shoemaker
presentation before the Com
mittee, whiehcoveredsever.il
weeks
of hearings. '• ft «
Highway Commission is trying
to bamhoozel us again". Rep
resentative P riestley stated.
He further indicated that le
felt the Highway Cominis
sion's conduct in opposing tie
acquisition of Cape Kawanda
as a future state park loca
tion was typical of th e ir dis
interest in the needs of the
public. P riestley toured the
area about Cape Kawanda last
week.
He indicated that to
lose such a beautiful natural
spot to anything as ugly and
unnecessary as a nuclear
power plant would be a " t r a
v e s ty ".
Much interest Is concen
trated about tie b ills intro-
luced this week to control
commercial fishing and g ill-
netting in the Columbia River
and return of the stream to
the private sports fishermen.
Representative P riestley ' as
been a supporter of this type
of legislation fo r some time,
and was a composer of this
legislation. The b ills are le

White racism is essentially

such fury during the last

When the NCCJ speaks of
Brotherhood, its fundamental
root is Respect on the part
of man for his fellow man.
Further, Brotherhood is an
obligation every American

We ask people to commit
themselves to the cause of

But has the

“ Protection of animals," said
the court, "is necessary not only
for their natural beauty and for
biological ->ludy but (also) for the
key role they play in the main
tenance of ihc life cycle."
Not long afterward, a shoe
dealer tried another tine of attack
on the same law.
" It hurls our chances of making
a living," said the dealer. " It de
stroys our properly rights without
due process of law."
Bui again the court upheld the
legislation. The court said the
shoe dealer simply had no "prop
erly right” to begin with in the
wildlife of a foreign country.
these cases illustrate the legal
issues that have arisen oul of ef
forts to preserve "endangered
species.” As a rule, courts have
looked with favor upon such ef
forts.
Nevertheless, if the state may
act on behalf of animals, it may
also act on behalf of hunters. In
another case, lawmakers decided
io introduce a special breed of
deer into remote sections of the
state for the benefit of sports
men.
Some residents opposed the
plan, partly because o f the harm
the deer might inflict upon the
flora and fauna of the region.
But after a court test, their
objections were overruled. The
court said the state’s police power
included the right to make the
stale more appealing and more
profitable as a recreational area.
When the evil of prejudice
casts a shadow in one's
community or one's social
life it takes courage to speak
up for Brotherhood.
