Metromedia Producers Corporation distributes the special, taped in color; In the Spring of 1937, E. Vincent Tubbs, now a publicist for Warner Bros. Studios, was elected editor-in-chief of The Maroon Tiger, the monthly student magazine at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. Tubbs appointed the late Bernard - Milton ' '&nesj hts classmate, a&vnbua.iBesii Onager of the Tiger and named this writer to the post of associate editor. The three of us remained on the campus for the summer, giving us time to plan methods whereby we hoped to maintain the quality of our magazine, which possessed a traditional reputation of excellency. Indeed, the Tiger had had a long line of illustrious editors. Our challenge was to live up to our predecessors. In our days at Morehouse, there was no journal department, actually no course in journalism, as such. We had strong faculty advisers from the English ' Department, person who usually left us on our own in our editorial activity, leading to articles sometimes critical of the college community-indeed, we had freedom, the Morehouse-way. During the summer, we came up with the idea of Journalism Seminars, after all three very fine dallies The Atlanta Constitution. The Atlanta Daily World and The Atlanta Journal, plus departments and schools of journalism in our city at such Institutions Emory University, Agnes Scott College and Georgial Tech. Upon approaching these publications and institutions, we were amazed at the. favorable response. We ended up with the late Cliff Mackay, World managing editor, as the "dean" of our seminar and the late : Ralph McGill, the late publisher of the Constitution, as our "visiting professor." The seminar became a big hit in' the Atlanta, Ihiversity community. After,, a couple or so sessions, we determined that we should share our experience with other black colleges. This we did, organizing Delta Phi Delta Journalistic Society, which before the 1937-1938 school was over had chapters on thirty-five campuses. . We found friends among a wide range of persons-P, Bernard Young, Sr., James Weldon, Johnson, C. A. Scott, George W. Gore, D. Arnett Murphy, Carter Wesley E. O. . Jackson, Armistead Pride and John " Sengstacke, just to! name a few. As is true in most new organizations, we elected our own officers-Tubbs as president, Jones as secretary-treasurer, and Kendrlx to the post of director of national projects. finding . myself ith a fjattiOTpfithu no"natjpnalj projects, I took off on Phi' Beta Slgma's "Bigger and Better Negro Business Week." "Why not a National Negro Press Week? So it was in 1938, we launched Black Press Week, embracing the week of March in which the 16th date fell. As a student researchist in the office of Atlanta University's Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, I learned from the scholar that Freedom's Journal, the first black newspaper in the United States had been founded by John B. Russwurn in New York City on March 16, 1827. Also in the Spring of Delta Phi Delta held its first annual conference at Morehouse, going to Tennessee A & I State University in 1939 and to Lincoln University of Jefferson City in 1940. When John Sengstacke, Chicago Defender editor-publisher, organized the National News papers Publishers Association in 1940, Delta Phi Delta established a rapport with the publishers group which endured for many years. In 1943, NNPA became "' a co -sponsor of Black Press Week and until today the Association continues then annual observance. Bernard Jones, our third Delta Phi Delta founder, Is no longer with us. But occasionally, friend Tubbs and I get together and there is always praise for Morehouse College, which helped us to get Delta Phi Delta launched, making the school on the Red Hill its birthplace and the launching site for Black Press Week. Mr.. Kendrix, credited with having originated Black Press Week, will be featured on the local outlets of Mutual Black Network during the week of March 10-16. You are invited to listen.

Egotistically, it never occurred to me that I would never reach him. The "Why" remained. Then I began a procedure first I made an appointment with the student presumably about his lack of proficiency exhibited in the classroom. I found to my chagrin that he was a MB" student Procedure number two entertained the thought that I might have been overlooking the fact that the impediment might lie within me. "What am I doing wrong? Do I know his background? Do I know his possible health problems? Do I know his ambiitons? The terrible truth was I never knew him at all. FRIENDS Can I share your joy and not laugh? Can I hear you speak and not feel what you think? Can I see your face and not remember that once we were lovers? Can I be your friend? Avon D.
