According to Mrs. Clark, manv I blacks in the '50s and '60s thought everything white was right. After they attended the schools, they learned differently. Mrs. Clark's grassroots approach to education has been so successful that it has been used by other countries in Europe and in Mexico. But most of ail, the efforts of Mrs. Clark paved the way for the strong black electorate evident today. Recently the city of Charleston, S C., paid homage to Mrs. Clark by napung a street "Septima Poinsette Clark Drive." Diane Nash-Bevel Diane Nash, a Chicago native, arrived at Fisk Universtiy in Nashville, Tenn., in the fall of 1959. r At first she was excited about attending the historic - black university.

Ms. Nash found herself deeply involved in protest activities, despite her earlier claims that she would not go to jail because she was afraid. Soon, Ms. Nash became a major leader of the student protest movement in Nashville. In fact, she became the chairman of the Central Committee, which was the leadership organ of the movement. In this capacity Nash led demonstrations and spent time in jail as a result. During this era Fisk administrators were opposed to students participating in sit-ins ?

It was unprecedented and portends great things in the future." Eversley said the money will all but retire a $14,000 debt in lawyers' fees. He added, however, that the Defense Fund will sponsor ongoing fundraising efforts.

Nevertheless, a Fisk dean approached Nash, informing her that if she did not desist from her protest activities, she was going to be expelled from school. Ms. Nash responded, "I said, you go right ahead/ and I'll go straight to Jet Magazine, and tell' them what you did." The Nashville sit-in movement continued its protest and was able to desegregate Nashville's lunch counters. Ms. Nash remained in the forefront of that struggle. Ms. Nash went on to become one of the founders of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. She was also the guiding force behind the continuation of the 1961 freedom rides after the initial riders had been severely beaten in Birmingham, Ala. Her courage and leadership ability set an example for those in the movement.

The assertiveness, determination and leadership stance of black women shattered the image that women were supposed to be passive and fragile. . Many of the white women who organized the modern women's movement had been exposed to these strong, multi-faceted black women and the possibilities they represented. Today we can learn from the legacy provided by black women during the civil rights movement. By looking back, black women today can learn lessons, and they - can continue ?to provide the creative leadership so desperately needed in our communities at this juncture in history. ggftgJ % s Will Be Going Up Soon.
