Musical director brings
experience to "DuBois'
Ken Berry is a musician’s musi
cian. He is widely known in the Port
land community for his service; he
gives his talents so freely that one is
likely to have the pleasure o f hearing
him sing or play the keyboard twice
in the same day at d ifferent oc
casions.
Presently, Berry is preparing the
musical score for "D uBois,’ ’ an oral
history program presented by One
W orld Arts Foundation, Inc. The
production features Herb Cawthorne
as Dr. DuBois, and traces the life o f
this great man. It will be fast-moving
and entertaining. The movement and
entertainment is directly related to
the power o f the musical direction o f
Ken Berry.
Berry, who directed the New Hope
Baptist Choir in One W orld’s pro
duction o f “ From the Pulpit, From
the People: The Life and Ministry o f
M artin Luther King, J r.,’ ’ a year
ago, has brought together a fo r
midable musical ensemble. Some of
the finest voices in Portland will per
form some o f America’s finest music
to com plim ent DuBois, one o f
America’s finest scholars.
Anise Hat! lends her well trained
talents to the production and gives
sensitive power to the program ’ s
theme, “ Be Grateful.”
Debra Baker will highlight the in
spiration o f DuBois with a moving
arrangement o f “ God Bless the
C hild.”
Ira Hammond, a widely renown
perform er, w ill sing, “ Some Day
We’ ll A ll Be Free.” His voice and
style in this unique arrangement
gives added meaning to the words o f
a great man.

‘ We have discussed the meaning
o f the program,” said Berry, “ and
we all agree that the music is an im
portant part which tells the story that
adds to the quality o f Dr. DuBois’
words. ”
The program, scheduled for March
Sih, 9th, 10th and 11th at PSU’s Lin
coln Hall Auditorium , is the second
oral history production put on by
One World Arts Foundation, Inc.
The music will be beautiful. And

against the Black community instead
o f towards it. The Crime Prevention
Unit and the Buckman Safety Net
work, an ad hock neighborhood
crime prevention group, jo in tly
developed a series o f crime preven
tion postors fo r educational use
around the city. One o f the posters,
which provides in fo rm a tio n on
harassment and in tim id a tio n , is
definitely in bad taste. It reinforces
derogatory racial stereotypes. The
implied message is that Black and
other minorities continue to be the
perpetuators o f crimes against
whites; they are the enemies o f a
healthy society.
The fact that no one working in
the Crime Prevention Unit was sen
sitive to the negative implications o f
this particular illustration is sym
ptomatic o f the problems that exist
between the community and law en
forcement interests.
I f the local crim e prevention
program is ever to achieve the broad
p a rticipation o f the Black com
munity, law enforcement agencies
and crime prevention groups must
demonstrate that they are as concer
ned about the well-being o f Black
neighborhoods as they are about
white victimization. They must work
closer with the Black community to
eliminate the subtle and devisive
crime sterotypes in all aspects o f
their public education process. They
must become more sensitive to the
Black community’ s legitimate con
cerns about its image.
The Crime Prevention Unit owes
the community an apology. It should
carefully review all o f its crime
prevention literature to ensure that it
does not contain other derogatory
racial characterizations. It should
take greater pains to insure that
public money is not used in the
future to perpetuate unhealthy racial
stereotypes. This kind o f inadvertent
racism does not serve any o f Por
tland’s citizens well. In fact it under
cuts the true aim o f crime preven
tion, which is to generate citizen
cooperation and provide factual in
formation onthe nature o f crime and
its prevention. Use o f this poster
should be discontinued; this would
be a step in the right direction.
