C O LO R M E H U M A N Library To Celebrate Black History Month Have you heard the story about TH E BOY A N D HIS DOG? It seems a little boy tied his dog to a pole, but he d id n 't tic him well. And while he was playing w ith his friends, the rope came loose and fell. The Street Corner Singers, the musical voice of the California Rai sins, will perform their doo-wop music in the Black Resource Center of the North Portland Branch Library on Saturday, Feb. 4. Now the dog really wanted to play, but he howled and he cried; and stayed right in that very same spot, because he thought he was tied. When the boy returned and saw the dog loose and all, he patted his pet on the head; and said, “ You're a very good d o g." But, the boy, being the master, he had fun and was satisfied. And the dog could have too, but he thought he was tied. The performance, which celebrates February as Black History Month and is the second anniversary of the opening of the Black Resource Cen ter, begins at 2:30 p.m. On Saturday, February 18, mem bers of the Sojourner Truth Theater Company will present “Great Moments in Black H istory." The performance begins at 2:30 p.m. As 1 look at the masters and servants among men, I sec this same story happening, over and over, time and again. Some people arc using their minds. They’re creating and being satisfied. Others are confused and crying, because they think they’re tied. Programs are free and open to the public. The North Portland Branch Library is located at 512 N. Killingsworth. A B. Higdon, P.O. Box 26006, Dayton, OH 45426 /dh Come See What’s New At Your...

In response to the presentation, the Nobel laureate will deliver an address on the anti- apartheid struggle. The citation accompanying Arch bishop Tutu’s Nobel Peace Prize declares, in part: “ Although he has never learned to hate, no one has opposed injustice with a more burn ing anger.” Bishop Tutu, the Nobel Prize Committee said, is “ a unifying symbol for all groups of freedom cam paigners in Africa regardless of the danger to his own life.;” The George Brussel, Jr., Memo rial Award is conferred each year by the board of trustees of the Stephen W ise Free Synagogue acting on the recom m endation of its social action committee.
