West Brunswick Grad Wants To Provide
Positive Role Models For Young Blacks
BY SUSAN USHER
Joel Johnson is trying to a make a
difference in the lives of young peo
ple, particularly disadvantaged
young people from the community
the Orange, Texas, resident still calls
home.
This week the 1988 West Bruns
wick High School graduate, who
works for Inland Container Corp.,
presented the school's media center
a check for $925, with another
$2,775 to come from the matching
gifts program operated by his em
ployer's parent company, Temple
Inland Inc.. for a total gift of $3,700.
Solicited by Johnson from among
friends and former classmates in the
name of the Brunswick County
Youth Foundation, the money is to
be used to purchase materials by and
about African-Americans for the li
brary collection.
Johnson doesn't plan to stop with
this gift. "This was our first try," he
said. "After this I hope it will be
easier." Temple-Inland will continue
matching larger gifts, but at a lower
ratio, up to $6,000 per year, he said,
a good incentive to try to raise more
funds for worthwhile causes.
He and his supporters want young
blacks to know that they have choic
es about who and what they become.
"When you giuw up in a negative
setting around negative people,
that's all you know," said Johnson.
"We need to expose kids to more
good role models, more positive

do something."
With the same goal of helping
children in mind, Johnson is one of
the organizers of a "Save Our Com
munity" rally that will be heid Fri
day at 6:30 p.m. at Kid Care child
care center next to Cedar Grove
Missionary Baptist Church.
He is concerned that the commu
nity where he grew up, and where
his mother still lives, is no longer a
safe place to raise a family.
"Drugs and violence have taken
over," he said. "But you shouldn't
have to be afraid to go outside your
home."
"We need to show how to instill
values in our children. The people of
this community have got to do it for
themselves, not wait on someone
else to do it," said Johnson. "A lot of
people want to do something but
don't know what to do."

Johnson has some specific ideas
in mind, and hopes other community
residents have ideas of their own, as
well as a willingness to become pan
of the solution.
"1 want us to have a game plan
when wc leave and the date for an
other meeting," he said.
Johnson's goal is to mobilize car
ing adults to help change children's
lives.
"I want everybody to try to make
a positive difference in the lives of
young people." he says, "not only
their own ch '.oren, bu' lifters as
well, to invest their time and money
in making a difference."
