Last year a vita l national edition
o f the National Black Talent D irec­
tory gave African-Am ericans one
concise source o f providing m ajor
studios, production companies, and
recording companies a means to find
talented African-Am ericans.
The publisher J.J. Jones a p ro m i­
nent African-Am erican photographer
developed the N ational Black Talent
Directory after being approached
numerous times by entertainment ex­
ecutives in regard to finding A frica n-
Americans fo r their projects.
In 1988 the firs t year o f publica­
tion 10,000 copies o f the directory
were distributed nationwide. The re­
sponse was imm ediate,in that the
directory played an im portant role in
the selection o f the behind the scene
personnel for Robert Guillaume Show.
Other requests poured in fo r talent

to help the children, but to earn credit
toward their certification w ork for

High school students, as w ell as
others, came to lend a hand when it
was convenient, and often found op­
portunities to correct problems that
they m ight have had, as w ell as learn­
ing to w ork w ith each other and the
younger children.
Several children who came to
Portland on vacation came to partici­
pate in our Reading Tree program.
We had children from Idaho, M issis­
sippi and the Islands.
O ur program ran fo r five weeks.
Emphasis was placed on inspiring
young people to focus on reading.
Nothing was mandatory nor forced.
We fe lt that the Reading Tree was
successful because the children wanted
to be there to read and learn.
Each year the program gels bet­
ter, more students participate, par­
ents get more actively involved and
the comm unity develops a greater
appreciation fo r the positive work
being done for our children.
The success stories that we hear
from parents and friends attest to
this. It is a positive example o f com ­
m unity invo lvem en t Parents and
