"" The high school drama program is an intensive, one year course of study in the senior year focusing on the craft of acting. The program includes instruction and prac tice in acting, movement, singing, voice and speech, and workshops in specialized techniques such as stage com bat and circus techniques. The high school visual arts program, part of the School of Design and Production, is an exploratory program designed for juniors and seniors who have an artistic interest, dedi cation and enthusiasm they wish to pursue in a structured course of study. Students take studio classes in drawing, graphics, color theory, two dimensional design, sculpture, ceramics and photography, as well as survey classes in art history. Both programs require academic courses through the school's Division of General Studies and award the high school diploma upon gradua tion. An arts conservatory of international renown, the N.C. School of tRe Arts was the first state-supported, residen tial school of its kind in the nation. Established by the N.C. General Assembly in 1963, NCSA became part of the University of North Car olina in 1972. More than 1,000 students from middle school through graduate school train for careers in the arts in five professional schools: dance, design and production (including a visual arts program), drama, film making, and music. Womble . from page C6 lynched every two and a half days. African-Americans were so dehumanized and their his tory so distorted in academia that "slavery, peonage, segre gation and lynching" were considered justifiable condi tions. In fact, professor John Burgess, the founder of Columbia University graduate school of political science and an important figure in Ameri can scholarship, defined the African race as "a race of men whicfi has never created any civilization of any kind ..." It was this kind of climate and the sensational, racist scholarship that inspired the talented and brilliant African American scholar Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson to lead the struggle and search for the truth and institutionalize what was then referred to as "Negro 1 History Week." A Harvard trained Ph.D.. Dr. Woodson dropped out of mainstream aeademia to devote his life to the scientific study of the African experience in Ameri ca. Africa and throughout the world. Under Woodson's direc tion and contributions from other African-American and white scholars, the "Negro History Week" was launched on a serious platform in 1926. Meetings, exhibitions, lec tures and symposia were organized to climax the scien tific study of the African experience throughout the year in order to give a more objective and scholarly bal ance in American and world history. "I, Too" By Langston Hughes I. too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes. But I laugh, And eat well. And grow strong. Tomorrow, I'll sit at the table When company comes. Nobody'll dare Say to me, "Eat in the kitchen," Then. Besides. They'll se how beautiful I am And be ashamed - I. too, am America. Mr. Speaker and members of this House of Representa tives, Black history is not just black history; it is American history. I thank you. Rep.
