checks and a few token representatives
on their (the Metro Y's)
board, that's about it. We were
independent all along."
Nixon said his YMCA made
the decision to seek autonomy
and operate apart from the
Metropolitan Y after a report by
the United Way and YMCA concluded
that the working relationship
between the two was almost
nonexistent anyway.
Nixon said the Effingham Y
applied to the state for a charter
and to the national YMCA office
for independent status and
received both without problems.

quite as easily for Executive
Director Herman Williams and
the Black Youth Christian
" Association of America, formerly
the Carver Family YMCA of
South Florida, in Miami.
After years of operating at
odds with the Metro board, the
Carver YMCA asked the Metro
board for independent status and
was denied.
Williams said Carver then petitioned
the national YMCA for independent
status and again was
turned down. For 11 months
Carver continued to operate with
the YMCA name but as an in

Williams said the YMCA then
was sued by the national YMCA
and prohibited from using the
YMCA name and logo.
About a month ago, Carver
received a state charter to change
its name and currently is waging a
legal battle with the Metro board
to retain its assets.
"As a black institution under a
white organization, they won't
give you the latitude to operate,"
said Williams, when asked whv
the Carver YMCA decided to go
independent. "We just pulled
away. We won the victory, but
we lost the name YMCA. But we
don't want to be part of a racist
institution like the YMCA."
In Portsmouth, Nixon said, the
different missions of black and
} white YMCA branches prompted
; the split.
Williams said Miami's Carver
Y faced a similar situation.
"White Ys in urban settings are
trying to keep up with private
fitness centers," Williams said.
"So they are draining money
from the black Ys to run the
downtown fitness centers at a
cost cheaper than the private
health clubs.

get the corporate and foundation
aid they get. When they get those
donations, they get them from
corporations that want to help
those in need, usually the black
folk. And when the blacks pull
out, so do the donations.'*
The Dearborn YMCA in
Mobile, Ala., has also filed for
independent status and will begin {
operating independently in
January 1985. YMCAs in Selma,
Ala., and Norfolk, Lynchburg
and Roanoke, Va., are also independent.
Williams said he will contact !
them and other predominantly
black YMCAs across the country
to invite them to join the Black
Youth Christian Association of
America.

"We are seriously trying to get
black YMCAs to join what we
are all about," said Williams.
"But there are some disgruntled
white Ys, too." j
