recent A rt Q uake display of small press publishers.
Mr. and Ms. O. J. Gates are a
busy couple, each working indepen
dently in the behalf o f people and
both accom plishing in fields not
routinely tackled by Black people.
For instance, Ms. Gates (she
usually signs her work: J.M. Gates)
was the only Black person we saw
exhibiting among all the others o f the
representatives o f the private small
free press o f Oregon a few weeks ago
in Portland’ s A rt Quake.
J.M. Gates was representing her
own "Circle Press". She publishes
"C irc le F o r u m " , a medium in
periodical form which she edits for
poetry, a special kind o f poetry
called “ reversible” , as it can be read
backwards as well as forward. J.M.
Gates, as publisher, receives poetry
from all over the world as her "C ir
cle F o ru m " has an interna tion al
readership.

The Rev. O.B. W illiam s, long
time minister at Vancouver Avenue
Baptist Church, has become a mem
ber o f the executive committee o f the
n e w ly -o rg a n iz e d " N o r t h w e s t
Response to World H unger" cam
paign. The group is to increase
“ community awareness” to the real
hunger existing in the world and will
work cooperatively through young
people to raise emergency funds,
begining in 1980, to combat the
crisis.
Herb C aw thorne
Herb Cawthorne was nothing less
than sensational in his portrayal o f
W.E.B. DuBois recently at Portland
State University in a Lincoln Hall
performance presented three times
during the week end.
We saw him the first night and
learned a lot about DuBois and his
times. Cawthorne was unforgettable.
He had early command o f his
audience. They hung on his every
word during his long soliloquy. The
pathos, the pride o f this great man’s
life came alive Cawthorne’ s vocal
timbre, voice control, diction and
pace were all richly rewarding to
hear.
The script, flawlessly written by
Cawthorne and Jeanna W oolley,
were strengthened by their recent
research on DuBois, revealed DuBois
as s trik in g ly contem porary in
thought, not blinking the fact that he
died more than a decade ago at an
age well past 90 years.
Staging and lighting were effective
adjuncts to a superior performance.
Music was ably handled by
Richard M offatt, widely recognised
for his abilities at piano and organ
and for his own artistry as a com
poser, arranger, and choral conduc
tor.
Sponsors o f this very enjoyable,
educational evening should all be
happy to have brought to the general
public so much o f solid Black history
and so much good theatre.
We find we are already looking
