Last Sunday, five new NAACP officers were sworn in at Vancouver Ave
nun Baptist Church by Adm inistrative Law Judge Belton Ham ilton They
are
George Hendrix, President; Joyce L Brown, First Vice President
Judith Knowles Boyer, Second Vice President; John H Brown, Treasurer
and Beverly Edmondson, Secretary. Seventeen Board members were also
given an oath by Judge Hamilton
A bout 230 people attended the swearing in ceremony The event was
also used as an occassion to honor the late Dr Martin Luther King, Jr
M ultnom ah County Chair Gladys McCoy was the only elected official who
was present at the gathering Governor Neil Goldschmidt was invited to
attend tho event, but due to prior com m itm ents to his family, w asn't able to
attend A telegram from the Governor was read by Treasurer elect John H
Brown Brown told the audience that Gov Goldschmidt was sorry that he
w asn't able to be w ith them, but wanted them to know that he is "suppor
liv e " of the NAACP
Hendrix told those in attendance that Blacks in this country are in a se
cond phase of a second reconstruction in this country ''There w ill be no
tw enty first century unless w e re awakened to the I sic I we ve been under
the last several years We must get on w ith the unfinished business of
making this nation, this city, the place in w hich Dr King and others like him
dreamed of
He reminded the audience that there are still people in this
country w ho don't believe that Dr Martin Luther King. Jr., should have a
day set aside to honor his recognition and contributions
Hendrix said it was a priviledge for him to serve as President of the
NAACP
He said over the years, the Portland Chapter has established
many landmarks in the area of racial relationships "A s President of the
NAACP, I w ould like the organization to challenge those things that are
wrong in the area of civil rig h ts ."
Rev John Jackson, pastor of Mt Olivet Baptist Church, told the crowd
that he was glad that the Lord let him be born during the same century as
Dr King " I have talked to young people in schools throughout the city
The ones w ho were born after Dr King’s death are hard to talk w ith Many
of them d o n ’t know w hat I am talking about They don't know anything
about marching, picketing, sit dow n dem onstrations, or any o f that But
they know about drugs
Rev Jackson said although it was an honor to be born during the same
century as Dr King, to know him was im portant. "T o be around him and
hear him speak was a wonderful experience "

Rev Jackson said only Dr King s image was killed, not the person He
said the dream is continuing until it be< omes a reality
McCoy, the newly elected Chair of M ulnomah County thanked those in
attendance for their support during the elections
She told them they
along w ith God. were responsible for tier victory
I visited a number of
churches in quest for this office A lot of people thought that I was just
com ing around for votes that was true Now I am going beck to each
church to say thanks
She said it doesn matter how high one progress
in life or how many degrees one attains, as a Black person, when the chips
are dow n she isn't any better than a w ind on Burnside " I will never see
myself as being better than any other Bla< k person in tins com m unity I
think it im portant, and I will never forget, that until all of us have some
degree of quality in our lives have some sense of juste e and equality, all of
us are in the same boat We must work together
McCoy said before Dr King appeared on the si ene there was a lai k of
hope "W e all believed that this was out destiny we w ould alw.iys live
under oppression
She said Dr King gave millions of Blai ks hope as .1
people and that were capable of determining our ow n destiny
McCoy
said we must continue this and not detrend on others to do it for us "I say
this to our young people Never hide behind the fa< t that you re Black to
prevent you from achieving in life All things are possible if you work hard
and believe in God My election is a testim onial to this
McCoy said Portland was ,ust like the South before D< King, saying that
many Black Portlanders came from the South and knew what it w.is like to
experience racial discrim ination
Wo couldn t go to a slate institution 0»
higher education The governm ent gave us grants and scholarships so we
can go to another school out of our com m unity Now this isn't the 1 ase
I credit this to Dr Martin Luther King, Jr
She said we must not forget those opportunities made available to us
but should take advantage o f them
"Education is surely one of those
things that s going to help us rise above our condition "
Those who were present were treated to songs by the Vancouver Ave
nue Baptist Church, Rev Wayne Reynolds, and M attie Speais Spears
brought shouts of Amen from the audience when she sang " I he Trouble
of This W orld
