The film is a musical-cum- documentarv coverage of the Black Expo PUSH held in Chicago, a five-day celebra tion in which that city be came, as Jackson calls it, “the Black capital of the world, with people coming from all over to come home', to 'come together'.” Jackson says the'film cap tures major Black performers at their peak, contributing their time and their talents as an expression of their belief in the Black cause. “The best of our people came home that week,” notes Jack son.

Regarding the Black “image” in movies, Jackson says, "we had the image of Blacks as buffoons and inferior people, and now we have the image of Blacks as superior - jum ping through windows and not getting cut, being shot with machine guns and not dying, being slicker than the law, God and man." “There are some things about 'Save the Children' that I think are very signifi cant," Jackson continues. “Ossie Davis said the re volutionary breakthrough on the Pit Restaurant Specializing In Bar-Q-Foods Hour«: Tue ■ Ihu r 10 pm I I am Food To Go, delivery and Fri - Sat Catering Service 4 II dancers, from left to right, Cassandra Butler, Greta Franklin and Royce Hurdy, entertain Governor's Conference on Nutrition. tion aides from the northeast and southeast neighborhoods of Portland.

Clarence Avant as a financial packager has now emerged as an executive producer. As a Black man he was simply amazing in his ability to pull the right people together to make the film. Then take Matt Robinson. Except for his work on 'Sesame Street’, he’s been relatively obscure. He’s now produced a film. He's a Black man. Then there's the director. Stan Latham, another young Black man. “We defied a lot of the union excuses for locking Blacks out of the technical end of moviemaking because for 'Save the Children' there were all Black young people behind those cameras and working those long hours. “Then of course, you know that some Black artists, once they've made it big. are depicted as irresponsible and not interested in the Black cause. 'Save the Children' should stop that way of thinking. For the performers in the film to have their time - that was an ex pression of responsibility.” ‘Save the Children’ will open at the Alameda Cinema on November 28th.

To be able to borrow such an amount of money to make a Black movie represents a complete new option for de cent producers. Before, many of them, like Ossie Davis, had written decent movies but couldn’t get any funding for them because nobody would engage in risk capital. Now PUSH has enough credi bility in several circles to be able to open up avenues of finance." The 4 H Ebony Movement Dance group performed dur ing the luncheon at the Gov ernor's conference on Nutri tion. Tuesday, November 6. at the Thund'erbird Inn. In addition to three dance numbers the girls demon strated their knowledge of nutrition by discussing the Four Food Groups and tell ing of the recommended daily allowances of the nutrients found in several fruits and vegetables.
