Young Rakigh Blacks Form Corporation | BY ANTOINETTE FOXWELL I “Yesterday was too late | time is running out fast.” a I group of some 100 young a- B dults between the ages of fif teen and thirty are acting on this slogan to build a better community for Raleigh blacks to live in. He Dedicated to non-violent mll « itant action and designed to lift ■g up those who cannot help them- K selves through building charac ££' ter and salvaging humanity, the h Young Adult Action Group was incorporated by the state on |§ June 12, 1960. P” “JUST BRAINSTORMING AROUND'’ When asked how Y'AAG, Inc. originated, Joseph Heckstall, a major founder, explained that YAAG was at first to be- sim ply a group of young people meeting to discuss current ra cial problems. lf We were just brainstorming around and de cided that something really use ful and constructive needed to be done, and we hit on forming YAAG." "BOARD TO PROVIDE EX PERTISE In accordance with its goal : of bridging the generation gap in ’ our society, YAAG utilizes a board of directors, composed of older persons from various walks of life. This board pro vides the expertise for action and development of YAAG’sva rlgated projects. Included on the board are presidents of local Negro colleges, administrative laborers, and house- f picture I perfect T™ 111 sh °pfr\. Ijf wives. O. A. Dupree,: Director of Personnel at Shaw University, is the dedicated chairman of the board. Referred to by YAAG members as “our twenty-year - old chairman,” the gray-haired Dupree has skillfully and dog gedly served, as he puts it, “as the prop between the bub ble and the burst.” YAAG has had its crisis, and Dupree has always been' there to help It through its period of “stormy adolescence.” SIGNIFICANT PROJECTS STARTED Indeed, YAAG seems to be emerging from its adolescent period into a strong, healthy adult. Several projects of sig nificant value to the black com munity are progressing smoothly. A Rehabilitation Project has been started in co-operation with the Police Department and city school principals. Boys with trouble potential will be divided into groups of ages 8- 12 and 12-16. YAAG members will act as big brothers to them in an effort to offset the crime rate in our commun ity. A study will be made per iodically to determine what pro gress has been made. An integral part of the “Re hab” Project concerns parolees and those who have been in training schools. YAAG will aid them in gaining entrance to college and/or jobs. YAAG has also contacted the City of Raleigh in attempts to receive a contract which will provide jobs for unemployed youth at a livable salary. Other projects now in de velopment include assistance for unwed mothers, drama and other cultural experiences needed for developing talent, a regularly published period ical, development of business es, owned and operated by young adults, wholesome recreation, enrichment opportunities for pre-schoolers, training in fam ily budgeting for yo;ing married adults, and expansion of these programs to other cities in North Carolina and the nation. A branch of YAAG has al ready been started in Clayton, where a membership rally was held on July 20. In addition, YAAG is in the process of opening a much needed headquarters from which to carry out its func tions. STRUCTURAL ORGANIZA TION An organization with YAAG's projections needs full-time em ployees to carry them out. In cluded in its projections for the next two years are some twelve positions which need to be fill ed for the Raleigh area alone. Joseph Heckstall and Miss Maurice Barnes are the only two employees of YAaG as' yet, filling the positions of Execu tive Secretary and Fund-Rais ing Director, respectively.
