in its creation.
The Senior Highs acted as
ushers and participants. Their
contribution was the reading of
poetry by black poets, all very
beautifully told of pride, aspi
rations of the race and its de
termination to contribute and
share equally in our country's
progress.
The exhibits included paint
ings by local school children,
ceramics, a book collection by
and about Negroes and arts and
crafts by the Jacks and Jills
