Scott, son of Phyllis Armstrong, former National Council publi
cist. is pictured with his grandmother, Mrs. Gertrude Scott. They all
reside in the Atlanta area. 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.

“ that truly extolls in a beautiful way
the virtues o f Grandparentcy.”
Expecting thousands more over
the 2 0,0 00 observances held last
year, G oldgar states, “ H e doesn’t
know exactly how m any observ
ances were held in the black commu
nity, but he does know that it was
considerable. I noted this in the
num ber o f press clippings we re
ceived.” Feeling respect for the el
ders is inherent in the black commu
n ity , G o ld g a r states. “ In this re
spect, black fam ilies are examples
for society.”
