Time is the Key
by Sibby Anderson
BSM President
Before the semester gets under
way and everyone starts cracking
down in their books, 1 would like to
welcome everybody back and
especially extend a warm (belated)
greeting to the freshmen.
You have embarded upon one of
the most important times of your life-
your college education. The time you
spend here at UNC-CH will greatly
influence your outlook of the world.
As you progress in your
academic pursuits, you will en
counter many experiences which will
challenge your present beliefs and
values. In time these experiences will
assist in your individual growth and
development as future leaders of
tomorrow.
However, just as time serves to
bring about growth and develop
ment, the passage of time can also
suppress efforts of change.
For instance, time has permitted
the South African minority govern
ment to legally enforce an ex
ploitative and racially oppressive
system which discriminates against
the country’s million Blacks. This
system denies them the right to vote,
own land or travel freely in their own
country. It is time for a change.
Influential Civil and Human
Right’s leader, Dr. Martin Luther
King, Jr. once wrote that, “...time is
always ripe to do right...without hard
photo by Ralph Ward
work, time becomes an ally of the
forces of social stagnation.”
King wrote this quote while im
prisoned in the Birmingham County
jail. It was written in response to a
public statement made by Alabama
clergymen who saw the Civil Right’s
Movement of the 1960’s as “unwise
and untimely.”
Some 300 years before, the in
stitution of slavery stripped our '
African ancestors of their heritage, ’■
language, and religion. Eventually,
they were left with only a faint but;
vital culture, rich in it’s portrayal of
the African aesthetic.
The dynamics of slavery and op
pression has survived through this
culture but not without the frustation
and pain of “waiting” for dreams of
acceptance to be acknowledged and
fulfilled.
Today, our African brothers and
sisters are going through a similar
struggle which to some may appear
“unwise and untimely.” Yet, on the
contrary, the time will never be more
“ripe” to actively seek the social and
political acceptance which should
rightly be theirs.
