Spcc. j; to the Crronclc
Let your attitude determin?
\ our altitude." were the words that
rang out of the auditonum speakers
on Feb. 18 at Glenn High School
during an assembly program called
A View of African Culture."
The school's Ebony Club
exposed the student body and fac
ulty to another side of the African -
American experience.
1 feel that a program like this
?a as desperately needed in a school
and system where the representa
tion of African culture is none or
nil. An event like this is all the
more important.' said coordinator
Jelani Favors. The show opened
with the singing of the black
national anthem. Lift Every
'. Voice." b> a Winston-Salem State
University ensemble, called "Sur
render." The sound of the tribal
drum roared throughout, as the
dancers from "Scarlet Lace from
WSSU performed an authentic
tribal dance that left the crowd of
wide-eyed students in awe. The
p'-cram went into its story -telling
ment when English tcacher
?-my Hicks recited The Tale of
?erman.' which had been told for
>cars by the Hausa people in Nige
ria.
After the tale, the show hit its
climactic point when guest >peaker
Alvin Cate>. \ ice president of the
Student Go\emmen: Association ^t
WSSU. gave his inspiring speech
on Perseverance.
Have and be ar. example,
instead of al^a\s having ar.

'.uvcj h> a thunderous applause
from the administrative and teach
ing staff Cates ended b> asking the
crowd to stand and pledge alle
