years of age. and the daugh

she is the second Black prin­

history.
Displaying a happy smile.
Faith commented on her
reasons for trying out for
Rose Festival Princess. “I
think it's important that you
do things to represent your
school.
Now that the stu­
dents have given me this
chance, as a result. I've been
given many opportunities to
do that.”
However, while running
for princess and finally being
picked by judges for the top
six. Faith felt some inse­
curity. “I thought when it
came right down to it. that
white students just wouldn't
vote for me.” Now all that's
over. She received a major­
ity of the votes and is now
the princess.
When asked
how she feels about it now,
she replied “I still can't be­

We are told that if OCL is made to comply with the
minimal requirements of community control, they will drop
the program. Perhaps another operating agency will not be
readily available. But maybe it would be better to have
no program, or one openly run by the county or state, than
to have a program that we are told is ours but we know is
not. If we must have white paternalism - if no Black can
be entrusted with the program - perhaps the community
needs to reassess its need for OCL.

decided it was not for her.
More than ever she wanted
to create an opportunity for

she said. “They need even
more to learn simple rules of
farming, of making decent
homes and plain cleanliness.”
The schools she saw were
not meeting the basic needs
of a newly liberated people.
