6A -THI CAjjQMNft THUS Srturttoy, Jut* 17, HT2 fFrom By JOHN HUDGINS • . k i To those Brothers and Sisters who graduated this year from high school or college, or any place else, there will be no echoes of congratulations From Black. What I do hope you realise is that you have completed another cycle of your life. I Mspe that you are closer to understanding what the world you live in is all about. You have been told that the piece of paper you now have is a key to success, it is not. You have been told that finishing school is one of the greatest things on earth, it is not. You have been told that the world is waiting for your gift of wisdom to it, I doubt it. And you have been told that your Brothers and sisters have been waiting for you to lead them to freedom, so what, for 400 years they have waited. You have been urged to go out and make America what it ought to be, don't kid yourself. What you will learn in the next few months is that the joys of your life are behind you. If you want to be a real Black Man or Black Woman, most of the pain is yet to come. This world has no intention of changing, just because of your education. Black people who finish high school and college are the same as other Black people in the eyes of this world, anything else is a lie. The jobs may be out there but you will get what the other people leave. There is equal opportunity, but only for a few of us. Some tokens will be needed, but not all of us. There will be high paying spots for some who conform, all of us cannot conform, if we all con form we become safe and none of us will be needed to hold before the rest of us. In fact you will have to make your own future, the matt-rial things that you want Tennessee Co-Id Homed Miss, Essence Of Tennessee Immediately following her crowning as the first "Miss Essence of Tennessee," 19 year old Tennessee State coed, Maude Mobley, is shown being presented a 11,000 scholarship from Burlington Hosiery by Stax recording star, Oscar/ Grammy winner, Isaac Hayes. Miss Mobley and the other 25 pageant contestants were feted by guests and friends at a reception at Memphis' Top Hat & Tails Club, where the pre sentation was made; in addition to the scholarship, the Miss Essence crown carries with it an Acapulco vacation via Amer ican Airlines and a stunning wardrobe by noted Black de signer, Chuck Sandford. Contestants from through out the state participated in the three day event; and, during the week-end preliminaries and finals wen; extended the hospi Man Hissing From Home BROOKLYN, N.Y.-Sixty seven year old Otis S. Wilkin son, the husband of Mrs. Anna Wilkinson, an NAACP Legal Defense Fund employee for the past 13 years, has been missing from his home in Brooklyn since Friday, May 26. Mr. Wilkinson, a retired clergy man was last seen by a neighbor yon May 26 between 1:00 and 1:30 p.m. Mrs. Wilkinson indi cated that her husband must not have intended to go far because she found a number of personal articles that ordinarily he carried when leaving home. Mr. Wilkinson is about 6'4" tall, 185 pounds, has a dark complexion, aiyl is partially bald. When last seen, he was wearing a dark grayish brown suit with red and yellow pin stripes, white shirt, royal blue tie, black socks vtd shoot, and a gray straw hat. If you aee a man fitting this description, kindly contact im mediately Mrs. Anna wilkinson at (212) PRB-0544 or Abeke Foster at (212) 586-8397. (care, clothes, house, money), you will have to pay for them not only with your labor, but with your values. If you are a good Negro you won't get it all but you will get more than the uppity ones, the militant ones, the bad ones. You can make money fooling your people, leading them the wrong way. If you have acquired any con cern at all for Black people you will have a chance to forget it. You will have a chance to de cide whether you want to en dure the system of oppression or destroy it. Understand that by next year this time you will have made some kind of choice, to conform or not, to love money or to love freedom, to sell what you have or to take what you need. The choice is not easy, it may well be made for you. You will have to find a way to survive, to eat, to sleep, to have a family, to love. You must never forget that the average lifespan for a Black person in this country is less than 65 years, you have already used a fourth of it, by the year 2025 most of us will be dead. What you do with your life may be of value to our people or it may not. Freedom may come in your lifespan, it may not. What is important is that you understand your commit ment and try to fulfill it. There will be no yardsticks of dedica tion to Black people. What you must have is love for your people and the sense to recog nize what you must do. You must have faith in yourself as a Black person, and a desire to understand what you do not understand about the world in which you are. With this and with all you have, TRY, for like all men you will DIE, the beauty is in having done what you could. In the spirit of your God, our ancestors, Black ness, and RESISTANCE! taiity of local business people, including: Stax Records, Holi day Inns, and radio station WLOK, as well as major na tional businesses: SCM, Flori Roberts Cosmetics, Levi Strauss, Columbia Records, RCA Re cords and Greyhound Bus Lines, all of whom contributed greatly to the pageant's overall success. The Miss Essence of Tennes see pageant, a first for the Memphis area, was held several weeks ago at that city's Music Hall Auditorium, co-sponsored by United Sisters & Associates and New York based, Essence magazine.
