Emancipation
from pane B I
"We don't need a victory to
say that we will work to
make sure that our citizens
will have the equal opportu
nity to participate fully in
this economic rebirth that is
going on in our community."
The economy and the
further disparities it has
caused were themes touched
upon by St. Paul Pastor
Donald Jenkins in his
keynote address. He opened
his remarks by holding1 up
items that he said could be
used for either good or ill.
While lifting a hammer, he
said it could be used to build
affordable housing or by a
thief to break into a house.
He said that a college
degree, and the wealth and
power that sometimes
accompany it, can cut both
ways as well. Jenkins said
that those who are supposed
ly the country's best and
brightest helped to create
many of the world's current
problems, including the cur
rent economic downturn. He
decried those that use their
education to make them
selves rich instead of grviny
back.
"Education is not a
means to an end to getting; it
ought to be an assignment to
give," said Jenkins.
He said with unemploy
ment high and the ranks of
the working poor growing,
there are many "weary peo
ple" out there. Jenkins said
it's the responsibility of
those who are better off to
help the less fortunate more.
Jenkins said his grandpar
ents, who raised him. were
an example of this. They
would've had an "easy life."
he said, if they hadn't taken
in three of their grandchil
dren.
"I think we come from a
people who know something
about doing more on less so
that someone else can make
it," said Jenkins.
The service ended with
the awarding of scholarships
to area high school seniors.
This year, there were 49
applications for four schol
arships. Ten of the appli
cants had grade-point
averages of 4.0 or higher.
Scholarship runners-up Bria
Dunn of Mt. Tabor High, Ivy
Hardy of Mt. Tabor and
Cheyenne Martin of North
Forsyth each reteived $100.
The four $1,000 scholar
ships went to Alexis Nicole

"This is my first scholar
ship for the season so I'm
very, very happy," said
Duckett, who will attend the
University of North Carolina
at Chapel Hill in the fall and
plans to eventually go to
medical school to become a
pediatrician, v
During the service, an
offering was taken for next
year's scholarship program,
which the Association hopes
will continue to expand.
From the more than 1 20 who
attended the event, $2,266
was raised.
