4-THE CAROLINA TiMES—SATURDAY, AUGUST 7,1993 Summer Arts Quest Closes At Hayti Heritage Center Politics story and Photos By Ray Trent A fun-filied, exciting and stimulating month of July came to a close July 31 for dozens of youth ages 6 to IS at the Hayti Heritage Center. The Arts Quest program, headed by artist-in-residence Tiye’ Giraud, was not all play. It was most educational for the children who learned about their culture through the arcs. Tiyc’ Gcraud is no stranger to the arts and c ulturc. She has performed in ''Hok.imbe”, her one woman show. Her music was featured in two PBS films, she has recorded wiih Urban Bush Women, David Soldie’ .suing quartet, Odetta, Pete Seegar, and was lead singer for Women of the Calabash. On this bright Saturday morning, Mrs. Dianne Pledger, the program director, was beaming because of the success of the program, as she presented the youth and talked of their amazing achievements accomplished in such a short time. Class demonstrations were given on the Shekere, an African insirumc u made from a gourd, covered 'viih beads on strings. Each child made hi.s/her own instrument. There was a presentation of African ( rafts and games, followed by a criative writing and drama presentation that really showed the latent abilities in the youth. An a i;apclla presentation of "I Believe the Children Are Our Future" by Anita Woods and Tunisia Muhammed, brought thunderous applause fioiii the audience. A- science jiroject was presented ill wliie'i the children interacted with an jibitio ferret, a corn snake and turtles. The highlight of the evening had to lx; the .steel dram, an instrument made frem S.l-gallon drums, native to Trinidad liiat gives the most meloiiioiis mu.sic. Wilton DuBo.'S and the other instructors have to be highly commended because, in a short period of time, children were able to play perfectly such renditions as "Summertime" - Lucious Clayton and Khayree McKinnon and "Song of the Wind" - Anita Woods and Farira Mushipe, Masila Mutisya, Ed.D., taught Swahili, one of the native African languages and the children conversed fluently. An African dance extravaganza in which all of the youth participated ended the Arts Quest for 1993. The dance brought the audience to its feet. ^any adults joined Dr. Benjamin Speller, Mrs. Pledger and other ca-mp instructors as they danced to a native beat that seemed to be a part of everybody’s very being. Each youth was given a certificate. More than that, the youngsters had developed a new pride in themselves, knowing that they are from the original civilization. ■■4 ^ ■■ 4 (Continued From Front) encourage participation through mobilization campaigns that include voter-registration drives and other community organizing efforts, the authors point out. "In both 1984 and 1988, massive mobilization was an integral component of both Rev. Jesse Jackson’s campaigns for president," they write. Jackson and Chicago mayor Harold Washington, who also used mobilization campaigns, were successful because they empathized with people in extremely poor neighborhoods by bringing them a message of support for economic justice, Dawson says. Once in power, however, many black politicians, in their efforts to represent all segments of society, lose touch with the disadvantaged, Daw,son says. If they expect to remain in office, they must take into account the interests of business groups when they make decisions, Dawson says. Benefits (Continued From Front) , 'i, 1- " I iQA6 KAUY tiO?/N(r Re /A frtiet." The United Nations adopted its charter at the famous San Francisco Conference in 1945. week, from $267 to S282. The new' increased amount will only be paid to those people filing a new unemployment ins mce claim effective on or -ir: 'st 1,1993. Every year tl.top ^wable benefit is recalculated using a formula based on the average insured w'cekly wage earned in North Carolina during the previous year. In 1992 that amount was $423..56 a week. Roughly 12 percent of the people who receive unemployment insurance compensation are eligible for the maximum benefit. Those people currotilly receiving unemployment insurance benefits will continue to be paid the same amount. The unemployment insurance program is funded through taxes paid by employers.
