Women Urged To Stress Strength Of Blacks Members of the Media Wo men assembled here last week were told by National News paper Publishers Association vice president, Howard B. Woods, that the challenge of the future in communications is in their hands. Woods, also publisher of the Sentinel Newspapers of St. Louis, said he had no problem with the liberation of Black women, because “black wo men have always been free.” He equated this freedom with - -the freodonnof the soul,tested, in slave quarters, nurtured in the breast of the Harriet Tub mans, and finding expression in the contemporary figures of today. He warned that it is the responsibility of the NAMW~to help tell the story of the “col lective strength of the Black American.” Pointing out that while blacks earned $57 billion last year, they spent $52 bil lion. Even the funds of the ADC mothers went into that $52 billion figure, he said. While blacks are at the lower rung of the economic ladder, they still drink more Scotch whiskey, eat more rice and wear the most expensive shoes of any group in Ameri ca. Woods called on the group to understand that the power brokers in America respond to sympathy and respect. “We don’t want their sympathy, Betty Crocker Scholarship Competition Set College Scholarships rang ing from (500 to $5000 are available for high school sen iors via the 22nd annual Betty Crocker Search for Leader ship in Family Living. The Betty Crocker Search scholarship competition is based on an examination covering various aspects of family living, including health and safety, finances, nutri tion, continuing education and community participation. During the spring tour of Washington, D.C. four top win ners are selected from the state winners and recieve scholarships of $5,000, $4,000, but we do want them to re spect the collective strength of our dollars,” he said. The publisher compared purchas ing power to the collective power of the ballot. Woods said that the time is here for the women in the communications industry-in what ever form-to encourage more women to take advant age of the opportunities offer ed. The St. Louis publisher had just returned from Birming ham where he represented the NNPA at Emory Jackson's funeral. He said that the Ala bama city is a study in new concepts and progress. Hel meted motorcycle cops guided the procession through the streets to the cemetery, he said, contrasting that with the Sixties when helmeted cops clubbed civil rights demon strators. fighting for their rights. He said that he visited that area of the city that was ca^ed "bombers row”, becaustfto many bombings of black homes took place there. He pointed that the house in which Angela Davis grew up is in the midst of the area. Fnoio oy Feeler MR; AND MRS. WILLIE C.
