even though we re in transition, we have a winning
tradition. Our record speaks for itself."
Though the local schools are integrated as are
Some local communities, Howard says it is important
for youngsters to be involved in organizations
that are directed at and run exclusively by blacks.
"This is one of few programs which offer
youngsters positive role models," he says. "There
Aren't many organizations where kids can see black
people working together for a common cause. In
the Tiny Indians, kids can get a true positive black?
experience. We pffer them discipline, goals to reach
and personal counseling."

Yet, Howard says blacks should be proud to take
on the responsibility of running the organization.
"When the Boys Club decided they would no

because, as black parents, we should control
programs which affect our kids. Blacks needed
to take on the responsibility."

Still, if the program is to grow, Howard says,
more parents need to become involved.
"We're trying to get all the parents that have kids
in the program to help us one way or the other,"
says Howard. "There's a lot of work that goes into
putting a program such as this together and we need
the total community behind us.
Linda Samuels, who serves as the concession
manager for the Tiny Iiftfians, agrees.
"We're like a babysitter during the week," says
Ms. Samuels. "They'll (the parents) come out and^
watch their kids play on Saturday, but when it's {
time to do some work, nobody shows up."
Ms. Samuels, who became involved in the pro-,
gram when her son was playing for one of its five i
teams, decided to stay on even after her son finished
his years with the Tiny Indians.
If more parents don't become concerned with
helping out, she says, the Tiny Indians could
become a relic of the past due to apathy, just as so

"We don't get very many donations and it takes
money to run the program," Ms. Samuels continues.
"We're struggling to make ends meet financially
and we need more people to help us out. For
us to make it, we're going to have to have people
willing to come in to help us."
