According to Dr. Lyons, Afri
can Americans, have always had to
have the law on their side in order to
achieve any measure of success in
this country. He says, the leadership
in Congress and the U.S. Supreme
Court, is trying to turn the clock
back, to repeal those law» that endure
Africans Americans equal opportu
nity.
Says the new national NBC Pres
ident, “It is timely that we are con
vening in Birmingham, Alabama, the
city which symbolizes the cradle of
the civil rights struggle.
It is the city where Dr. King
wrote his passionate “Letter from a
Birmingham Jail;” the city where
three of our own Baptist children
were killed in the bombing of the
16th Street Baptist Church and the
city where we intend to bring back to
the attention of all Americans the
struggle we must continue and the
dream we must keep alive.” Lyons
also said, “In 1963, Dr. King had a
dream, but, in 1995, we are experi
encing a nightmare!
The National Baptist Conven
tion represents over 8,000,000 peo
ple and more than 30,000 churches.
Over 60,000 are expected in Bir
mingham for the National Conven
tion and over 25,000 plan to march.

received a certificate o f appreciation
from the Black Women of Achieve

years o f excel lent service to the com
munity from the Sickle Cell Founda
tion this month.
“I see it as a ministry to those
who are suffering with this painful,
hereditary blood disorder and I find
it very rewarding” she states. “I could
not have come this far without strong
supporters who were sensitive to the
cause and who lended themselves as
volunteers and/or funders. For that,
I’m so grateful.”
Calling upon them to stand up for their beliefs and make a difference
in the world, television star and community activist Andrew Shue ad
dressed the 384 graduates from the three schools of Drew University during
its 127th commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 20. Former New
Jersey Governor 3 homas H. Kean, Drew’s tenth president, presided over
the ceremonies held on the south lawn of historic Mead Hall.
- 1 he only truth I know to give you as you head out into the world on
your own, as you leave the comfort and security of college life, is that we
must be true to ourselves., to stand up and speak in a voice we know to be
our own. 1 o stand up and let that voice be heard. To stand up and bring
people together,” said Shue,” ...life is too short, too precious, to be lost at
the hancls of doubters.”
