Guests make key points to
Gentleman's Quorum members
SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Gentleman's Quorum, a male
minority mentorship program at
Elementary School Academy, fin
ished up a busy week by hosting two
guest speakers in mid-April during its
afterschool program. The program is
sponsored by Communities in
Schools.
Fifth-grade members of the group
visited R J. Reynolds High School for
the Mary Starling Symphony
Orchestra's performance. That per
formance was designed to spark inter
est in the students to play musical
instruments when they enter middle
school next year. Schools from
throughout the Winston
Salem/Forsyth County Schools were
also present for the performance,
which was put on by the Winston
Salem Symphony.
Two guest speakers talked with
the group last month. The first.
Attorney S. Wayne Patterson, spoke
to the group about his upbringing and
encouraged the students to strive to
be the best. Patterson, president of the
local chapter of the NAACP. talked
about his childhood growing up in
Cleveland Avenue Projects.
He told the students how he over
came many of the challenges that he
faced in his community and school
He asked them to find something that
they really liked to do and strive
toward accomplishing it. He rein
forced the fact that although he was
raised by a single mother, he had role
models in school, sports, and the
community who helped keep him on
the straight and narrow.
"You guys here also have people
who can give you the guidance that
you need to become successful," he
said. "All you need to do is talk to
them and let them know what 's going
on in your lives and I'm sure they will
provide it or point you to people who
can help."
?^ Patterson said he planned to come
back and bring some of his friends to
the school to help mentor the boys in
the program.
Elliot Miley, one of the co
founders of Gentleman's Quorum,
stopped by the school to continue a
dialogue that he began the previous
week. Miley, currently a teacher at
Carter G. Woodson School, talked to
the students about how to handle con
frontations with officers of the law.
"You gentlemen are reaching an
age where it is becoming more and
more necessary for you to know what
to do if you are detained by an offi
cer." Miley said, making reference to
the killings of Tamir Rice, Michael
Brown and Walter Scott. "There are
some things that are important for
you to understand because as brown
and black boys, we want to make sure
that you return home safely to your
parents and loved ones."
Miley gave the students several
tips on what to do and how to act if
they are detained. He also gave each a
copy of a pamphlet that he uses to
teach boys and men of color survival
skills.
"First of all, never run when an
officer asks you to stop," he said.
"You must comply with the officer's
request. You don't have to give them
any information, however. But you
should tell them that you want to
speak with your parents and your
lawyer. That is the only thing you
need to say ."
