What d o Opera North, the 'Legislative Coalition Caucus of Utah,"
"The Doll League and The Afro American Historical and Genealogical
Society have in common?
I hey are all among the 249 national, regional and local, not for profit
groups in the recently issued "Guide to Black Organizations, 1987 88 Edi
tion, published by Philip Morris Companies Inc.
First produced in 1981, the new edition is the fourth Guide in this series.
I he Guide is provided free of charge to individuals and groups. The popu-
larity of the books has been based on their usefulness as networking docu
ments for Black and other Americans.
The unveiling of the Guide came during a reception hosted recently by
Philip Morris at its Manhattan headquarters.
Black organizations have enriched every aspect of American life, " wrote
Hugh Cullman, Vice Chairman, Philip Morris Companies Inc., in the intro
duction to the book
He added that those familiar with the Guide know "that this small booklet
does two very big jobs Not only is it a convenient directory; it also provides
an encouraging overview of the organized Black community."
Stanley S. Scott, Vice President, Director of Corporate Relations and
Assistant to the Chairman, Philip Morris Companies Inc., told the reception
guests: "The Guide pays tribute to the dedication and the hard work of the
people who struggle to keep these groups going —people doing a lot with a
little This is a tribute to black leadership —they are carrying out the long
time commitment to progress in the spirit of W.E.B. DuBois and of Booker
T Washington."
Each major, national, civil rights, religious, fraternal and economic group
is listed. It also lists 31 Black state legislative caucuses.
Also appearing are many local organizations that provide such unique
and positive services that they were listed to prompt the development of
similar groups.
Opera North," for instance, is a Philadelphia, PA-based opera company
that provides additional opportunities for Black performers and musicians
in grand opera
The "Legislative Coalition Caucus of Utah" is led by the state's only
Black and only Hispanic legislators, one of each, who have organized 60
business, religious, civic and community supporters to work on behalf of
that state's minority populations.
"The Doll League" is an advocate group working to improve the quality
of life for disadvantaged children and young adults through annual fund-
raising programs.
And "The Afro American Historical and Genealogical Society" was
founded as a result of the "Roots" phenomenon created by Alex Haley
and it encourages scholarly research in Afro American history and genea
logy."
