Though the audience in the studio
would have held hpr talking, in
structing, and encouraging fo r a
much, much longer time, Flo Ken
nedy turned the meeting over to
Tatum, her host.
Charles Tatum spoke briefly about
the need for an art gathering place
where artists, or would-be artists
could come to exchange ideas,
receive direction or even to paint, do
sculpture, read their poetry or sing
and dance before an audience. Those
present seemed to approve the idea
as they responded readily to the
small admission price set fo r the
evening.
Tatum w ill be planning and
w orking w ith Berna Plum m er
towards developing his dream for the
com m unity along the fo rm a t he
o utlined to the group. Some o f
Tatum’ s own wood sculptures were
on view but none were offered for sale
at this event.
Azzorcc Lathan was credited as
being one o f the coordinators for this
first community meeting.

A collaborative Art and Cultural
Center, a dream for Northeast Port
land, was revealed by Charles Tatum
as he opened the doors o f his art
studio to the community last Friday
evening.
Flo Kennedy, attorney, feminist,
author and civil rights activist was
the magnet speaker for the evening
and she did not fail to enthral her
listeners who hung on her every
word. Saying that she was tired, she
remained seated in her comfortable
chair, but she summoned up from a
deep inner energy the power to
exhort Portlanders to be watchful o f
their civil rights and liberties granted
under the c o n s titu tio n o f these
United States.
Ms. Kennedy’ s personality wears
many “ hats” as those o f many
renowned attorneys do, her recall is
probably total and her repartee is
lightning fast and incisive. She is at
once flam boyant, courageous and
seems to be a warm sensitive woman
who cares deeply about other
humans.
