Chronicle Wire Report
The current year-long A&T Centennial Celebration will reach an
important peak when one of the university's most notable graduates, the
Rev. Jesse Jackson, returns to the campus on Tuesday, March 12, to deliver
the Charter Day address. The 10 a.m. convocation will l>e held in the Cor
beti Sports Center on the campus.
"We would like to have 10,000 persons on hand to welcome the Rev.
Jackson/ said Dr. Edward B. Port, A<feT chancel iur. "Hi1 is truly one of the
nation's most outstanding human rights leaders." The convocation is open
to the public.
Jackson, a native of Greenville, S.C., graduated from A&T in 1964.
His leadership skills were first noticed as he led civil rights demonstrations
to desegregate public facilities in Greensboro. Alter graduating from A&T
and directing Operation Breadbasket in Chicago, he organized Operation
PUSH here. He later organized the Rainbow Coalition and ran twice for the
Presidency of the United States. A world traveler, lecturer, minister, author
and national television journalist, Jackson has literally "walked with
kings."
The convocation will mark the official chartering of A&T as the A&M
College for the Colored Race in Raleigh on March 1XC)|. The name wa$
later changed to the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical Suite Uni
versity. From 37 students, the university has grown to ?\5(X) smdents and is
regarded as one of the nation's most outstanding historically black universi
ties. ,
Joining Jackson on the Charter Day program will ^ A&T chancellor,
Dr. Edward B. Fort, and representatives of the Unjjed Slates Congress, the
North Carolina Legislature, the* North' Carolina B<wd of Governors, the
Boards of Trustees, the A&T National Alumni Association, the faculty and
the students. rt.

bcr of the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Portland
Trailbla/.ers, Director of Community Services at
WFU, and sports reporter for WXII; Gil McGre
gor, drafted by the Cincinnati Royals and and
radio announcer for the Charlotte Hornets radio
network; and Tyrone "Muggsy" Bogues, who
played with the Washington Bullets and last year
was voted Most Valuable Player for the Charlotte
Hornets.
As ahtletes, accustomed to the environment
of teamwork required to have a winning team,
each emphasized that it is the same type of coop
erative effort that epitomizes the banquet theme,
"We're All In This Together," in order to bring the
community together in a truly progressive man
ner. Bogues, chided good-naturedly because of his
diminutive size, said, "Basketball is not for big
people; it's for people who know how to play the
game." He added, "It's important for everybody to
be involved ... to come back to the community to
give something back." Davis said being a giver, a
volunteer in the community is important today
because the time of neighbors working together is
not what it was in the past. "The growth of us is
tied to each of us," he reminded the audience.
In the same Spirit of teamwork and coopera
tive effort, McGregor said, "This is your town. It's
like a puzzle; it takes all of you to put the puzzle
together." He added, "If people don't do what they
need to do to put the puzzle together, you deserve
the city you get."
