CAMPUS NEWS/The Charlotte Post Relationships require some hard work Continued From 13A , Thursday, February 8,1996 Continued From 13A should be trust. If the part ner feels it’s necessary to be involved with other people besides the one who the sexu al agreement was made with then that partner needs to tell that person. ” Then there’s the issue of remaining faithful. Some stu dents prefer one-on-one, while others aren’t ready to he tied down. 'Traquesha insists that people talk the matter out before getting too involved. “Other students feel a sexu al relationship should be monogamous because it allows a trust to build,” she said. “Therefore it won’t lead to any heartache or pain such as catching a disease.” Relationships should revolve around more than just sex, most students say. It should be about good times and good conversation as well. The growing process is learning about one another as each day passes. Deitra Johnson, a senior at JCSU, expects a relationship to be built on several things. “A relationship should start out as a friendship,” she said. “A friendship leads to respect and trust and with respect and trust a commitment has developed. In a relationship, it is necessary to be open and honest because it tends not to cause so many problems.” BENITA DILLARD is a senior English major at Johnson C. Smith University.

BLACK HISTORY MONTH An album of black Charlotte The follow is excerpted from “An African American Album: The Black Experience in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County,” published by the Public Libray of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County. Throughout Mecklenburg and surrounding counties, black men and women toiled in cotton fields to bring economic prosperity to southern mas ters. When the Civil War ended in 1865, slaves were freed. These freed people left the plantations and congregat ed in towns like Charlotte or in adjacent communities with other former slaves. Frightened and angered by the end of their “southern” way of life, whites instituted a system of segregation specifically designed to usurp all social, economic and political rights gained by blacks immediately following the war. Jim Crow became an entrenched system by the last decade of the 19th century. Despite the attempt to sup press their struggle for equali ty, black Charlotteans were proud of their southern and American heritage. Many refused to join the great wave of black migrants seeking bet ter economic opportunity in northern cities. Instead, they defied the systematic usurpa tion of their civil rights by cre ating and maintaining a sepa rate existence socially, cultur ally and often economically. Black neighborhoods became the social, economic and politi cal centers for African American Charlotteans. First Ward, Second Ward, Third Ward, Fourth Ward, Biddleville, Cherry, Greenville, Washington Heights, Griertown and others symbolized the seperateness. These neighborhoods served as living quarters, provided churches, health care facili ties, educational institutions, businesses and leisure activi ties. In addition, these neigh borhoods played major roles in the political arena. Because of the large voting block, political candidates often sought their patronage. One of the most important agencies for maintaining cohe sion and rendering'Social wel fare was the church. In slav ery, the church played a vital role in attending to the spiritu al and social needs of slaves as well as aided in the successful escape of slaves to freedom. The institution of Jim Crow laws in the post Civil War era necessitated continuing that tradition of uplift and protest. / ' ' I",'"" ' -'' NEW PATIENTS WELCOME We Accept: • MEDICAID • MEDICARE • PRIVATE INSURANCE • MED COST • BLUE CROSS & BLUE SHIELD 741 Kenilworth Ave. • Charlotte, NC CT04)3T2-0063 FASHIONS INC.
