PCC students create mural
A brightly colored mural taking
shape along the entire wall o f the
cafeteria at the Portland Comm un
ity College Cascade Campus depicts
life at that campus and shows o ff
the talents o f students in the
Cascade Design Group.
The project was one encouraged
by the campus Cultural Affairs
committee
through
competition
earlier this summer An $800 budget
was established for materials and
labor.
Graphic arts students Sharon
Walsh, Margaret Gunn and Elwood
Johnson used existing photos o f
campus life, trying to balance
academics, departments and people
shots. They did a scale replica o f the
7 H by 40 foot drawing to show the
judges
It took the three students two and
one half days to transfer the
drawing to the wall and they then
started to outline the drawing in the
colors. Others will be hired to help
fill in the paint and they estimate the
total jo b will take two weeks to
complete.

Egypt tour reveals Black heritage
G R A SSR O O TS N E W S , N. W. —
The Black Educational Center’s
Evening School o f Knowledge was
never as enlightening as it was last
Wednesday when Kamau Anderson
shared his educational trip to Egypt.
Anderson traveled in a group o f
234 Afro-Americans from all across
the country. Their trip was spon
sored by the Alkebulan Foundation
and First W orld Alliance and their
purpose was to tour the historical
and archaeological genius o f ancient
Egypt.
Anderson was quick to point out
their visit was not as a group o f
tourists. " W e were there for a little
over two weeks and we were stu
dents studying our ancient history.
At times it was very grueling. It was
a positive ’C an’t see in the morning
'til you can’t see at night.” ’
He said he believed the large num
ber of Afro-Americans in Egypt at
one time was very obvious to other
tourists. "Europeans would come
up to us and ask what were we doing
over there. As a study group, we
were concentrating on the Nubians
who were the original Egyptians."
During their trip from Assuan to
Abu Simbcl, Anderson encountered
Arab racism directed at the A fro -
Americans. " W e were sitting in the
airport aboard Egypt Airlines and
’ -
wants your opinion
an Arab flight attendant kept
coming to us asking two, three and
then seven o f our group to get o ff
the plane. As 17 Black people were
getting o ff the plane, 17 Europeans
boarded. A t that moment, instan
taneously, all people o f African
descent got o ff the plane. Needless
to say, Egypt A ir did not fly that
day. It was an inspirational show o f
spontaneous unity never before seen
C u lt Puppwal
in Egypt!”
Anderson said all was settled the
next day and as soon as they saw the
splendor o f the ancient African
Egyptians they soon forgot the
bigotry o f today’s Arab Egyptian.
When Anderson and his group
arrived in Assuan, which has a large
Nubian
population,
they were
greeted warmly and called Nubian-
Americans. " O u r Nubian guide
went beyond the tourist greeting of
’ ladies and Gentlemen' to 'Brothers
and Sisters, welcome home.’ He ex
pressed his solidarity with us by
saying, 'T o show that we are in
touch with you, we hope that Jesse
Jackson wins the presidency.’ ”
Although
these incidents of
racism occurred, they were just inci
dental. The main purpose o f their
trip was to reinforce the correlation
between the genius o f the builders of
the pyramids to their present day
descendents — people o f African
descent. "T h e trip pushed my con
sciousness to new heights. I f the
children in schools knew all o f what
we had accomplished, I ’ m sure their
test scores would improve. I f Black
children knew that Black people
gave the world math, science and
geometry that would help their self-
concept. I f we would only return to
the source, we could rediscover our
traditional greatness ”
