. - - M "Page 4, Portland Observer, September 23, 1987 Speak Out W hat effect, if any, will the depar ture of Rev. John Jackson and Herb Cawthorne have on the leadership in the Black Community? by Arnold Pitre Vera Jackson Secretary Marsha Hunt Service Coordinator I don't know a lot about either of the two men, or how much effect they had on the Black community, but they seemed to be well known and respected by the community people on the whole. It appears that they will be missed. The lead ership in our community could be better, and the aeparture of these men does not help matters. They will be missed. Mr. Caw thorne was a locally raised man, and that was an advantage. He knew about some of the problems in the community. Rev. Jackson s well respected, both within and outside the community. He was a good spokesman for the commu nity. Our remaining leaders will just have to "buckle dow n" and work hard on dealing with our current problems. The Urban League of Portland hosted a morning breakfast, Septem ber 18, 1987, to introduce Dr. Charles Warfield, Associate Professor at Western Michigan State. The meeting with clergy and commu nity leaders was an attempt to get community input on the Urban League of Portland and Portland Public Schools' Parental Involve ment Initiative at the Whitney Young Learning Center.

AIDS Facts Ora Hart Real Estate Agent Charles Shepard Culinary Student We are losing two good leaders, but it should not have such a deva stating effect on the community, we have plenty of people with lead ership qualities, but I don't think we have the involvement that we should have to produce good leaders. It certainly leaves a void. Both men are well known. They were vocal leaders. On the positive side, it leaves an opportunity to show that there are others with leader ship abilities. Rev. Jackson and Herb Cawthorne were always sought out for leadership by the community, because they were long standing vocal leaders.
