Exchanging love and learning, they cap ture the essence of National Grandparents Day which falls on Sep tember 12th this year. Grandparents day takes hold Historically speaking, respect for the eld erly has always come more naturally in the black com m unity. This is especially true since econom ic conditions have often made it ne cessary for the children o f working black parents to be reared by their grand p aren ts. This is one reason why the new h o lid a y . N a tio n a l Grandparents Day, now in its fourth year, has taken hold so quickly. The holiday, set fo r Sept. 12 this year, always falls the first Sunday after Labor Day. T he idea o f two generations o f grandparent and grandchild sharing together is what it is all about. The symbolic event was originally con ceived by a retired Atlanta business man, M ike Goldgar. A fter a visit to see an eld erly aunt at a nursing hom e, G oldgar was struck by the encircling wall o f loneliness he saw there. D eterm in ed to do som ething about it, Goldgar went on to lobby Congress for some six years before he got the Legislature finally passed in 1978, and signed into law by then- President Jimmy Carter.
