The idea for a concert came about
because of the efforts of Earl Hughes

County High School; A1 Kahn, owner of
WAGR AM , and WJSK FM Radio in
Lumberton which sponsored the local
competition; and Bruce Barton, editor of
the Carolina Indian Voice.
Said Oxendine, "1 just want people to
have a chance to hear her perform. I have
been a long time champion of hers. She
is a mighty talent and I want those who
haven't heard her to be able to do so."
Said A] Kahn, "1 think it is appropriate
that we honor Lori Aim ha she embarks
on this wonderful adventure...a chance
m^fcbowcaaefcer taieni and hopefeity get
into country music in a big way. She is
talented, no doubt about it And 1 am
proud to be a part of this effort to honor a
deserving young lady."
Barton said, "I like to see our Indian
people showcased. It's a good and
positive thing we are doing. We hear so
much about the negative aspects of
Indian life in Robeson County. This is an
opportunity to let one of our talented
young people shine."
Admission will be free although
donations will be accepted at the door.
Also an effort is being made to raise
some money to give to her to use for her
wardrobe and traveling expenses.

Betty Oxendine Mangum
Pembroke-An epitome of eloquence,
charm and grace, Mrs. Betty Oxendine
Mangum captivated her audience at
Pembroke State University Tuesday in
speaking of how her youthful experien
ces on the PSU campus and in the
Pembroke Community had molded her
and the vital importance of education to
anyone's aspirations in life.
Noe the Director of the Division of
Indian Education for the State Depart
ment of Public Instruction, in Raleigh,
Mrs. Mangum, the daughter of PSU
professor emeritus Clifton Oxendine and
Cora Oxendine, spoke on the topic of
"Indian Women in a Changing Society."
It was the concluding talk in the Danforth
Lecture Series at PSU for this academic
year. '
Her talk was optimistic all the way.
She is a living example that "you can
make it" She spoke of role models,
people who supported her, those in the
audience who taught her.
"It's such a pleasure to be homey" she
beamed at the start. "1 hope I can make
you proud. Many of you have known me
since 1 was a little girl." 1
A graduate at Pembroke State Univer
sity, she said, "I believe education Is the
key to open any door that needs to be
opened." She said PSU gave her that
Und of option. "preparing me for a lot of
thingsjn my^fe. " Mrs. M^m said
? unity is committed to it." She
Birtoa's stand that Hamtttop McMillan
should be honored for helping to start
what is now PSU. "Mr. McMillan was in
a position to do something about it and
told the story of the Indian people's
needs in Raleigh--and Croatan Indian
Normal School was born. This school
became Pembroke State University-a
place that is revered by Indians from
miles around. This was the beginning,
the grandparents of education for
Indians,'^ she said.
Mrs, Mangum said that "as a
Lumbee, I was taught to be very proud.
But we can't stop as Indian people; we
must move on. We must reach out and
touch other people. We must have
skills."
Speaking of the 64,635 American
Indian in North Carolina according to die
1980 census, she spoke of discrepancies
which need correcting. "In the UNC
system, there are only 24 Indians in
faculty or administrative positions--and
the bulk of them are here at Pembroke
State. In the community college system,
there are 84 persons at that same
levei-and the bulk of them are at
Robeson Technical College. There are
143 school systems across the state, and
in their central offices are only 20
Indians. The bulk of them being in
Robeson County."
As far as Indian women are concerned,
she said "only six are in the central office
level in public school systems across the
state." Mrs. Mangum added that there
are only three principals state-wide. She
spoke of six Indian women who, after
marriage and children, have obtained or
are obtaining their doctorates.
She urged Indian women as well as
other women to be involved in other
fields besides education. "Every female
can't be a teacher. Examine all kinds of
careers," she urged. "You can be
astronauts, scientists. Have a dream and
persist in working toward that dream.
You have to have determination, it is not
easy to move from where you are to
ward an unknown. Others before me
have proven it could be done," she said.
Speaking strictly of teaching, Mrs.
Mangum emphasized: "If you can't:
inspire young people, please get out of it.
Teaching Is for those committed to
children* |
She also spoke of {the rapid growth of
