Not only as a novelist but also as a poet, NAACP official and diplomat, Johnson left a lasting impression on the cultural and social life of the Negro in America. His famqus poem "Lift Every Voice and Sing" (1900), when set to music by his talented, brother, John Rosamond Johnson, became a soft of Negro national anthem during the early forties. His strik ingly dramatic poem "God's Trombones" (1927) may still be heard recited from the stages of many high schools and' colleges in the South. In one of Johnson's collections of verse, St. Peter Relates an Incident (1917) his poem "O Black and Unknown Bards" is still accepted as 'the' best poetic explanation of the origins of the spirituals, , His Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man (1912) was one of the earliest accounts of a Negro exploring different levels of American society by "passing," and is still being printed in soft cover editions. This Actional "autobioR raphy" was so real that Johnson felt the need to publish his own life's story in his now classic Along TkU Way (1933). Aside from his creative work, Johnson edited the New York Age and ran an extremely popular column in it for ten years. He also published an anthology, The Book, of American Negro Poetry (1922). He wrote articles for the Nation on the conduct of United States Marines in Haiti and helped to make the United States' occupation of that country a presidential campaign issue in 1921. His essays on the roots of the Negro's cultural contributions helped to explain the foundation of the Negro's achievements in literature and music, especially during the decade of the twenties. In Negro Americans, What Now (1934), he elo quently set forth his own philosophy and beliefs. In 1916 James Weldon Johnson joined the NAACP and for many years was its executive secretary. Among his many achievements with this organization are ; sparking the drive behind the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in 1921; leading the fight against the lily-white primary which made it illegal for Negroes to be denied participation in southern primary elections. Before he joined the NAACP, Johnson served as consul to Nicaragua and Venezuela. 1 - Lit l . James Weldon Johnson was a native AT Florida with family roots stretching as far south as the Bahamas. He was educated at Atlanta and ta'New York. He was the first Negro fo pass a written examination for ih bar in Florida, and after practicing law and teaching school for a few years, he moved to New York where he joined his brother in writing successful musical comedies. His last major post was that of Professor of Creative Literature at Fink University in Nashville, Tennessee.

The life story of the Union Baptist Msle Chorus can be compared with the story of the well-known fsble of the "Ugly Duckling who finally turned into a beautiful Swan. We were a somewhat motley group, so far as vocal training was concerned; and unwilling, to a large extent, to do more than "cornfield" renditions of popular Prayer Meeting Songs. But the spirit of the men was bold and courageous, for the most part, and with the determination of a few of the fellows hope was sustained for bringing into being a Male Chorus. McKinley Cates was the president of the Trustees Board during the 40s. These were the "fat years" for this organization; for the first time, perhaps, in the history of the church, the male congregation as well-organized-on one accord-going places in a big way. Taking the bull by the horns and getting the job done was a speciality. Cates was a splendid leader and the men enjoyed the fellowship of working together-keeping up the physical aspects of the church proper. These were the yesrs when the nation was at war and anxiety, uncertainty and rationing was harassment to those on the homefront; but, by snd lsrge, for the Christian forces these were some of the best years of our lives. Aside from our regular work In and around the church, the guys -would make visitations to the sick in the community and offer prayer and sing a hymn or two. This is actually where the idea of a male chorus began. And during the Fall of 1946, November 18, the men of the Trustee Board met In the assembly room of the Gray i-i ..i,v..i, u.micu with Mm iwcne C.mnm RjtavM and initiated UlULUi-llVUDV, , ....... ,n ............ - ' , the Union Baptist Male Chorus. "Let the light from the lighthouse shine on me" this was the first hymn the fellows used to flex their vocal chords on and learn to blend their harmonies as "a single human organ." (Mrs. Dorcas C. Reaves). For us, this was proved, to be no simple undertaking. We were asking for the 'flight from th step by step, the men advanced enough to make their first i appearance: "The Old Ship of Zion, I CSn Tell The Nation and Yes. God is Real." I In all candor, the male chorus did not seem destined to survive jfor more than a few seasons, at most, but divine guidance through By James Oscar Cuthbertson, Jr. Writer's note: Four people were interviewed for this story. This is 33 and 1 3 per cent of the African Students enrolled at UNC. An attempt was made to contact the remaining portion, but it was not successful. One interview was dropped because the information given was useless. "When I got here, I was disappointed. The impression, I had in Nigeria was that life in America was very rosy. That, America had a more perfect system," said Akanbi Adewole, a first year Ph.D. candidate in Psychology. "Since, I got here my opinion of America has changed," he added. "I was alarmed at the size of New York (his port of entry)," said 33-year-old Joshua Adeniyi, a first year graduate student in Public Health. "Traffic jams' were everywhere," he added with a big wide smile. "And so many skycrapers." "New York was the thing that impressed me the most about America," ' said Joshua Olewe, a 27-year-old Political Science Ph.D. candidate from Nairobi, Kenya. "I was confused in the city. It was much bigger than Nairobi. Moving to southern America was better. In Kenya, I got the impression that all America was urban, but that is not the case. Much oi it is sprawling countryside." Adeniyi, Adewole, and Olewe have many trungs in common, une, mey are all first year graduate students at the University of North Carolina. Two, they all live in Carr Dorm (the International Student Center). Three, they are over 7,000 miles away from home. And four, they all hail from the newly emerging continent of Africa. They are three of twelve African students enrolled at UNC. The nine others live either in suburban Chapel Hill or Durham. Adeniyi and Adewole are Nigerians, while Olewe is from the east coast nation of Kenya."" Although, the vastness of the U.S. shocked them upon their arrival, the American people did noL They had formulated impressions prior to coming from reading U. S. Embassy literature and interacting with American tourists. "My idea of a typical American was that of a proud, friendly individual. The American way of life is so different than the Nigerian," said Adewole. "Everyone here is more individual. Back home, we are more compact. We are welded together in an extended family system. Here, the nuclear family system is the rule. I grew up with my paternal grandmother, in a big compound," added Adewole. Adeniyi also thinks that America has a highly individualistic society which he says results in problems that are unheard of in Nigeria. "In our compound, when someone has a problem people in the compound can detect it even before he can," he said. "This way, we can solve problems before they begin and we don't have so many people doing irrational things because they think that nobody cares." He added that the male-female relationship here which is almost equal, especially in the area of intellectual capabilities is different than Nigeria. Olewe had no pre-conceived characteristics about America before he came to this country. "In Kenya, there is a lot of interaction between tourists and the people," said Olewe smilingly. "We know what Americans are like." Two of the students are married-Adeniyi and Olewe-and left their wives and children at home. Adeniyi's wife, Victoria, and his two sons-Tunji and Deji, are coming over to be with him in January. Olewe has no plans to bring over his wife, Alice, and his daughter, Rose, at the present time. Adewole, the bachelor of the bunch, taught as an assistant lecturer for two years in psychology at the University of Lagos prior to coming to America. He also won scholarships to London and Australia. He Redded to come to the States because "we have some similarities. In music and dance, brothers here." "We don't understand your problems (Black America)," he said. "We have a bad perception of Black America. In most cases, the establishment gives false impressions. I wanted a first hand insight into what's happening." "1 listened to Stokely Carmichael and Jesse Jackson in Nigeria and I was impressed. All that you usually hear on the news is Panthers shooting, and all the bad things like riots. I wanted to see for myself." One of the things that surprised Adeniyi when he got to America was the relatively low amount of racial tension. "I was told that the racial tension was quite high in the South. This has been somewhat exaggerated. I was also told that there was no poverty," he added. "Poverty in America is worse than poverty in Nigeria." "It is a cost to be poor here. If you are poor in Nigeria, there are many other things to compensate," he continued. "There's rest bed if you are old. In the compound of our extended family system, you have so many people to help you," he added. "In America, there is a lack of care for the aged. In Nigeria, there is always a close tie between a child and his parents. The older the parents get, the more dependent they are on their children," he said. He added that when someone in his compound dies, they celebrate and rejoice because they know that when the person was living they were well taken care of. He emphasized that in his compound they all share and no one goes hungry. Of the thirteen African students on campus, seven are from Nigeria, three are from Kenya, and one each from Zaire, Uganda, and Liberia. Eight are in graduate school and five are in undergraduate school. Adewole has found that culturally, there's a big gap between Black Americans and their African brethren. "Culturally, Black Americans are almost white," he said. "They are very individualistic. However, there are we are together in the ay that we relate to it and express ourselves." Adeniyi agrees that Black Americans are different. He says that they are more individualistic in life styles than their African brothers. "We arc similar in some aspects however," he said. "We both consider large families a virtue." He sees housing as a problem for the majority of Black Americans. Olewe sees very little differences between American whites and American blacks. "In the communities around, all the people live pretty much the same. However in music, we have a common clement. Black Americans have the same forcefulness and vigor in their music that we do. They have been here only a short while, but they have definite opinions on the American political system and President Nixon. "The American System is perfect to some extent. It is perfect lor some people," Adewole said. "The Democratic theory works, but only for a few." "If I had been asked seven years ago about the American system, I would say something different than now," said Adeniyi. "It's a mockery of democracy. The power belongs to the people only at election time. It's only the name after the election. Elected people may or may not do the will of the people." he added. "Politics is an art and the primary objective of any political! or political power is to be in power and to return to power for as long as possible and by whatever means." continued Adeniyi. Olewe finds the American political system interesting and says that he is impressed by the openness of discussion and the involvement of students in government. He is the only one of the students that is impressed by President Nixon. "He has impressed me because of his efforts in bridging the gap between the East and West," he said. "He does not have an international image of Africa as, J.F.K. did, but his foreign relations efforts have impressed me." Anytime Is Blender Time aSaW? ' . v families in the community.

Although the conereeation of men is overwhelmingly out numbered by the congregation of women, the male chorus has done well carrying the ball of responsibility. Aside from regular donations to the building fund, the chorus was among the first organizations to purchase a window for the sanctuary The color standard of the Male Chorus is: Navy-blue and white; flower: white carnation; Motto; 'Praise ye the Lord: For it is good to sing praises unto our God.' While the Union Baptist Msle Chorus cannot look bacK on years strewn with great triumphs, this group can review Its history with a neat deal of pride for having over come a long line of struggles.
