In the Black community, single, African-American mothers
are not often recognized for their contributions to the positive
qrowth and development of their sons and daughters. So, ns
week, the Portland Observer is saluting the family of Darwin
Raydell Eagleton and his mother, Deloice V. Williams.
Influenced by his mother, Darwin has become one of the top-
rated, young, African-American musicians in America. Said
Deloice “ Darwin’s interest in music was overwhelming from the
time he was nine months old. Each birthday and Christmas, I
bought him an instrument and simply said play.
And play he has: The Jazmin Marching Band, the C ivic Band,
the Spartans’ Drum and Bugle Corps, Jefferson High School band
and on and on. When Jazz great Clark Terry came to Portland, in
1984, for a memorial for the late Sonny King, he was so impressed
with Darwin’s playing that he paid for Darwin to attend a summer
Jazz camp at Emporia State University in Kansas. At the end of the
camp, Darwin received the “ Outstanding Musician” Award.
In 1985, Darwin was chosen as one of the outstanding
instrumentalists in the country and was invited to participate in the
1985 American Musical Ambassadors European band tour. In 1984,
Darwin was honored with the Instrumentalist Magazine Musician-
ship Award. Darwin won the award again in 1985. Later, he was
inducted into the Junior All-American Hall of Fame in recognition
of outstanding musical dedication and service.
A student at Mt. Hood Community College, Darwin has a 3.69
grade point average and is a member of the Miimuders Dru™
Corps. This year, the Corp has visited over 20 states in 45 davs and
