to adopt two neighborhood
Schools, Ashley Elementary
and Winston-Salem Prep, as
welt as the Carter G. Woodson
public charter school.
Several weeks ago, 1 called
a meeting with Pastor Tejado
tiancell of Mount Calvary
Holy Church, Pastor Donald
tenkins of St. Paul United
Methodist Church, President
ttyve Hairston of the NAACP
Qnd the Rev. Richard Watts,
is principal of Winston
Salem Prep. t
The Rev. Mr. Watts
informed us that normally
when a team -wins a state
championship they get champi
onship rings and the varsity
cheerleaders get commemora
tive stoles. This will cost
about $6,000. That money
would come from the PTA and
booster clubs. If our schools
were desegregated, this would
n't be a problem. Since they
are re-segregated, Mr. Watts
only has $1,000 in his PTA
budget.
This column is written as a
call and challenge to get one
hundred black men to give $60
a piece and pay this bill.
Checks should be written to
Winston-Salem Preparatory
Academy with "Ring Fund " in
the memo. Cash or checks can
be brought to the school and
given to Mrs. Henry, school
secretary and a receipt shall be
given. If for whatever reason
you want to send this to me at
115 Dellabrook Road, I'll get it
to the school.
My church has endorsed
this project. Three basketball
loving pastors 1 know. Bishop
Joseph Lowery, Dr. Samuel J.
Cornelius and Dr. Kendal
Jones are on board. 1 hope to
get the Ministers Conference,
NAACP. all the Black male
elected officials and our fra
ternal organizations involved.
We'll take money from
White folks and women, but I'd
love for Black men to take care
of business. We say we love
ouf children and we love
sports. Let's support the young
people who are doing the right
thing. Fifty, forty, thirty, twen
ty, even ten dollars will be
appreciated. Let's raise it by
May 30. Brother David Allen
gave the 'first $70, I gave my
$60, Dr. David Mount gave
$75 and Bishop Allen of
Thomasville gave $25.
Principal Watts, athletic
director Ricky Holt and coach
Andre Gould are and will be
thankful for all black men, and
others, who demonstrate love
and care for our children
who 're excelling.
Hall of Fame always a ...
good event
Thanks, Dr. Eversley. I'm
back. And, I just want to say
that I really enjoyed attending
the 25th annual Winston
Salem/ Forsyth County High
School Sports Hall of Fame
last Friday. I wouldn't have
wanted to spend my Friday
night anywhere else.
I mean, it truly is rewarding
to me to hear about and meet
some of the former athletes
that used to do great things
during their playing days. It
was also great hearing the sto
ries. It was priceless hearing
Jim Caldwell Jn.jflUlfc every
one from his old JHnpal and
coaches to his MSr team
mates and dad. Moved bearing
Porsche Jones recitfc a poem
that was to inspire people from
ever quitting in what they do.
Paul Cloud got up there and
talked about his old coach,
Tom Muse and some of his old
teammates like Rob Little,
Mike and Tony Grace and a
few other guys. LaShun
Peoples was so nervous that he
could barely say what he want
ed to. But everyone under
stood, and appreciated his
expression.
Martha Land was simply
delightful to listen to. And,
Chris Paul's grandmother
(Mrs. Hill) was as sweet as
could be. She accepted the
induction on behalf of CP.
The most touching moment
for me came when former West
Forsyth and UNC star
LaQuanda Barksdale Quick
stood up to speak. She made it
clear that she didn't have a lot
coming up. and that times were
hard for her family. Barksdale
talked about how her family
used to move around a lot, and
how she lived with her grand
mother at one point. She then
took the time to thank the fam
ily of friends that helped her
get home after games and prac
tices. That simply moVed me.
Probably because 1 could defi
nitely relate to that.
Next year's class should be
special as well. _
