lYC Holds Black History Program
By Mattie Morrison
The Interdenominational
Youth for Christ presented
“Black Leadership For The
90’s; It’s Time For A Change,”
January 18, 1990 in the Green
Room of the K.R. Williams
Auditorium. The Special guest
speaker was Garland R. Hunt,
Esquire.
Hunt is from Richmod, Va;
the National Director of New
Generation Campus Ministries;
Vice-President, Manna Chris
tian Fellowship, Inc.; an or
dained minister; a licensed at
torney; graduate of Howard
Universiy’s School of Law;
appeared on the “700 Club” and
“Heritage Today” (PTL) talk
shows.
Hunt spoke at length about
the morality and history of the
3regory from page 1
twelve books deal with nu
trition.
Since Gregory has
been a professional ob
server of the world since his
stint as a comic in the 1960s
naturally he is an opinion
ated man. Whether or not
people share Gregory’s
views of the world, most
people would have to ad
mit that his statements
make an impact. For in
stance, according to Gre
gory, the nation’s savings
and loans collapse can be
black community. He said that
it is time for a change and that
the world especially America is
in desperate need of one. Hunt
captivated his audience with the
rarely heard historical accoun-
tance of contributions made by
our black ancestors. He men
tioned Martin Luther King, Jr.
and what a difference he made
back in the sixties and how we
now have black congressmen,
governors, and mayors. He re
minded the audience of where
they came from, where they have
yet to go, and he encouraged
them to listen to his words and
try to let our lives revolve around
a better way of life.
Hunt used the scriptures
from the Holy Bible to express
his thoughts and to explain his
theories about the down fall of
directly attributed to the CIA’s
need for money to carry out
assassinations throughout the
world. If this is true, CIA as
sassinations in the 90’s will
cost about $300 billion dollars.
Now that’s expense!
In a more traditional
vein, Gregory targeted a con
cern that has been on the
minds of many black leaders
lately, the decline of the black
family. Gregory believes this
problem like any other can be
remedied through faith in God.
In his own words, “When you
today’s society. “It’s time for a
change,” he exclaimed.
On the other hand Hunt was
frank and very blunt when he
explained what ideas young
women and men should abide by
before becoming involved in
sexual relationships. He
preached abstanance, righteous
ness, and purity, instead of, let
ting the lusts of your body win
out.
Hunt insisted that the black
community has become to ac
cepting to what society has
dished out to them. “When
America sneezes the black
Americans catches a cold,” he
said.”No matter what the conse
quences are who will stand up
and preach the truth? “Who is
courageous enough to speak out
and say what’s right?”
try everything else and it don’t
work, try God.” Commenting
further on the church as a rem
edy he added, “We treat our cars
and clothes better than God’s
temple.”
Gregory’s challenge as
he describes it is to make people
think about the information that
the media gives them. The in
formation that Gregory gives in
his speeches is fast and furious,
covering nearly every topic
imaginable. But what more
could you expect from a man
who proclaims himself, “One of
WSNC from page 6
will be able to listen to the sta
tion.
WSNC staff would like to
note that they have achieved
some firsts thus far this semes
ter. They broadcasted the
WSSU vs NC Central baske-
ball game, and they were the
only radio station at the Liv
ingstone basketball game and
they were the first media to in
terview ‘BigHouse’ Gaines af
ter his 800th win!
the most socially aware men on
earth?”
