Durham Teachers Approve Action
Of Association A
Educators See
Vote as Decree
For the Merger
The move by the North Car
olina Teachers Association that
cleared the way for merger
with the North Carolina Edu
cation Association was hailed
by Durham educators as a
move in the right direction.
According to John H. Lucas,
one of the NEA D'sectors for
North Carolina and a special
officer of the NCTA, the action
taken by the 88th Delegate As
sembly was a wise and forward
decision toward developing a
single strong state education
association which ensures ade
quate representation and full
participation of all state edu
cators regardless of race,
creed, or ethnic origin.
Lew H. Hannen, Superinten
dent of the Durham City
Schools view the decision as a
"fine thing." "This, I'm sure,"
Hannen said "will enable us to
go forward at the local level.
I have advocate such a move
toward unity on the local
level for sometime now, but
tiie state always advised us to
let it occur on the state level,
and now I think we can move
forward into a new sphere of
education in North Carolina."
The sentiments of J. M.
Schoolar, Principal of Shepard
Jr. High School was also in
favor of the decision. "I was
glad to see the vote go like It
did because it is a step in a
direction that many of us
wanted to go. Schooler also
though that the overwhelming
margin of the vote of signifi
cant in that it was a true re
flection of the Black educators
in North Carolina.
In commenting on the vote,
H. C. McAllister, Principal of
Wbltted Jr. High School said
the decision by the NCTA dele
gate assembly was the best
move at this time because it
was in accordance with the re
search of the factfinders com
mittee, and rewarded the
hard work done by the Liaaion
Committee.
"Anything that keeps educa
tors separated is detrimental
to the children at large," was

merger for some time now,
after indications that there
would eventually be single

Carolina. Talks, however, have
been hampered by considera

within the new group if the
two would merge.
According to E. B. Palmer,
Executive Secretary of NCTA,
Black educators are unwilling
to become a part of a group
that would not allow them to
have a voice in policy making
decisions. After several such
impasses, the NEA was called

ATLANTA A new era
in banking for Negroes was
ushered in last week when the
Citizens Trust Company of
Atlanta Georgia moved into
its new nome. For years, affec
tionately known as the bank
on Aubum Avenue," it official
ly began business in its new
quarters Monday morning.
The new building, a gleam
ing multi-million dollar edifice,
is considered as one of the
finest in the Southeast and per
haps the nation, according to
an official of the bank. This is
first time in the history of the
country that any Negro bank
has undertaken a multi-million
dollar investment in the down
town area of a major city. The
bank is now located at the
corner of Houston Street and
Piedmont Avenue on the edge
of downtown Atlanta.
Many local and state digni
taries attended the dedication
and open house ceremonies.
Among them were Lester
Maddox, Georgia Governor;
John 0. Boone, U. S. Depart
ment of Justice, Atlanta Re
gional Office; and others.
Maddox told the huge
crowd that the new bank stood
as a symbol of what people
can do once they get together
and decide to work for the
common good of all He con

Harlem Prelate

Bill in Congress
WASHINGTON, D. C. -
Rev, David N. Licorish, As
sociate Pastor of Harlem's
Abyssinian Baptist Church, ap
peared before a Communica
tions Sub-Committee of the
Senate Committee on Com
merce, this week to deny
charges that a Bill involving
procedures for the renewal of
the licenses of TV and radio
stations is anti-black. Rev.
Licorish's argument was large
ly a rebuttal of testimony
given by other Blacks who
claimed that the Bill sponsored
by Senator John 0. Pastore
(D. R. L ) would, if passed,
Krent Black applicants from
uiring licenses.
The,JMU (5.2004) is an
amendment to the Communi
cations Act of 1934
Rev. Licorish, citing his own
jinterest in seeing Black people
acquire such licenses, said that
{the Bill would do nothing to
prevent or to hamper the ap
plication of any applicant of
any color. Rev. Licorish also
felt that trumped up and pre
tentious arguments discredited
legitimate complaints against
discriminatory legislation
which does occasionally ap
pear in Congress.

By Experts
Project Outreach and North
Carolina Central University,
with support from the Small
Business Administration, will
conduct a Business Manage
ment seminar beginning Janu
ary 8, 1970. The seminar is
to be directed to small Black
businessmen who are seeking
ways to improve and expand
their present operations or
persons trying to get started
in business.
Ed Stewart, Director of Pro
ject Outreach, stated he along
with Dr. S. B Fulbright. and
Lindsey Merritt, both of the
faculty at NCCU, will coordi
nate the seminar with support
from Forest Gunn of the SBA
Regional Office.
According to Stawart, Pro
ject Outreach has conducted
three such seminars during the
past year and received very
favorable response from the
participating businessmen. He
observes "they are not the
total answer to the many
problems of the Black busi
nessman but we feel some of
the answers are found at ;hese
sessions and we try to show
the businessman where he can
find some other answers while
stimulating him to solve soma
problems on his own."
Project Outreach operating
under the supervision of the
Durham Business and Profes
sional Chain through federal
funds granted to the National
Business League is designed
to give management training
and technical assistance to
small businessmen while help
ing them to get necessary cap
ital and'know-how "in order
to be effective in the struggle
for economic survival.
Stewart said "over 100 Black
businessmen have been served
through the seminars.' We
feel that this one will be the
most beneficial because we
are using the mistakes made
on the previous ones to insure
a more organized approach to
the more common problems.
Lecturers for the seminar
will come from the NCCU fac
ulty, SBA and successful busi
nessmen and consultants with
in the Durham community.
Currently, suggestions are com
irg into the Outreach office
suggesting certain courses that
should be covered during the
seminar.
Although this the first
such project held at NCCU, the
administration supports it as
another step in involving the
un'versity in the area of com
munity problems. Certificates
of performance will be given
the qualifying participants at
the the seminar.
