OBSERVATIONS
FROM THE SIDELINES
by Kathryn H all Bogle
O H O N O R the memory o f Dr.
T
M a ry M cL eod Bethune, the
P o rtla n d section o f the N atio n al
Council o f Negro Women, Inc., in
vited the public to a musical p ro
gram and tea on Sunday afternoon,
Nov. 28, at Bethel A .M E . Church.
The Portland section, according
to Lenora M o rris , president, was
founded on Decem ber I I , 1966.
Current officers working with Mrs.
M orris include: Beulah C am pbell,
vice president; Pattic Sheppard, 2nd
vice president; Faralenc Gaither, se
cretary; Carrie Muldrew Shaw, trea
surer; Lizzie Sm ith, C haplain-his
torian; Mamie Carter, correspond
ing secretary.
Sunday’s program, with Beulah
C am pbell named as chairperson,
presented Willa Mae Hart giving an
oral history o f the life and accom
plishments o f Dr. Bethune. She also
traced the founding and history o f
the N C N W on the local and nation
al levels.
Soprano Lessie W illiams, accom
panied by C ynthia Rampone, was
the featured soloist. Possessing a
beautiful voice with unusual clarity
and bell-like tones in the upper reg
ister, Lessie Williams sang her way
into the hearts o f those who heard
her sing the old Negro spirituals.
H er "D e e p R iver” was especially
moving.
Appearing on the program also
was a male q u arte t, the “ Gospel
Iru m p c ts ," a local group that do
nates time and talent to local church
org an izatio n s. “ The Lord W ill
M ak e A W a y ” and “ G oing Over
Yonder" were two o f several spiri
tuals in their repertoire that Sun
day’s audience received warmly.
In the Gospel Trum pets are:
Thene Houston, bass; James M it
chell, lead tenor; Archie F ranklin,
second tenor and Eugene Johnson,
bass guitar. Thomas Brewer acts as
manager and accompanist for the
group formed seven years ago out of
a m utual wish to sing and “ give
something to the community.”
