African Cultural Program For Youths By Abigail L. Flanders Post Staff Writer In these lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer, several groups and organizations have plans for activities to help keep the kids off the streets and further them down the paths of learning. This sum mer, Juanita Erwin, a pro gram director for the YWCA on Trade Street has discover ed a very interesting summei project, seemingly designed especially for Black children and teens, entitled: “Discover Us: An African Cultural Pro gram.’’ The prpgram began with an informal open house, June the 12th, and will contin ue through August the 3rd. Some of the activities that the program will sponsor in clude tie dying, made simple for the younger children, as well as teenagers; the art of preparing a variety of foods everything from hot dogs to soul foqg, music and dance organized and choreographed by those participating in the summer program, and many other activities that will prove to be very interesting to young people of all ages. Juanita Erwin is excited a bout the program because it is one of the first of its kind in the Charlotte area. Although the Afro-American Cultural festi val is featured annually on a summer basis, it only lasts one day. An extensive sum mer program designed for and by Black youth is apt to have its rewards in introducing teens to a world of cooking, entertainment and the arts, which will more than likely help create a summer of both learning and enjoyment as well as aid them in growing into more mature and inde pendent individuals.

Flanders Post Staff Writer Somber, soft-spoken and as sertive, Bill Cosby took a seat at the head of a large table, surrounded by Black report ers. His dark handsome-face became writhe when asked about his favorite subject children and how he has con tributed to the underprivileg ed ones. ’Tve worked at em phasizing the importance of education. In most schools, the poorer the student body, the greater the probability of less good working materials.” he said as he glanced around the table. An even greater obsession for the popular star is the growing lack of morals and values for children. “Where my wife and I come from, a child's back side was freely heated when he disobeved. and that’s how we’ve reared our children. You see, there’s more to learning than just sitting in a classroom and chewing gum. A child learns from every situation in life. That’s one reason why Fat Albert has been so popular. It’s entertaining, and it also teaches morals and values on a child’s level.” Mr. Cosby’s love and con cem for children has helped to enhance his career. His televi sion appearances, particular ly his commercials, generally have a group of children com menting on how good a certain pudding is. He has advanced now to commercials with chil dren that talk about how good a car is, which is why Char lotte was graced with his pre sence in the first place. He was asked to do some Ford commercials, for which he was paid an exhuberant a mount of money, flown to Charlotte in a private jet and given the royal treatment by Jefferson Productions, the company which helped to pro duce the commercials. Mr. Cosby seemed unim pressed by all the pomp and circumstance as he delivered his honest replies to the repor ters who watched and listened carefully to the forty year old star as he lecturefully spoke. ^^^^^^whatM>o^loc|^ children's programming, do you feel that there’s a need for it? one reporter asked. “Well, I would think that it’s cheaper than national children's pro gramming. You would not need all the materials th$t national children’s program ming uses. All you need to do is to establish your characters and let them do all the work.” Suddenly, the interveiw was ended...and the legendary Bill Cosby was quickly rushed off to lunch, It.

"Jesse Owens Returns to Berlin" will air Sunday, June 20 at 7:00 p.m. on WTVI, Channel 42 over PBS. The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games were much more than an athletic event. Hitler stated publicly that he wanted com plete victory from the German Olympic Team to prove that his theory of Aryan racial supremacy was correct. O wens, narrating his own expe rience, recalls how his four gold-medal victories at the Berlin Games dominated the spotlight, averting attempts by the Nazis to convert the games into political propagan da extolling their super race theory. All the chilling, awesome pageantry of the Nazi political rallies of the 1930’s was found at the 1936 Olympic Games. In the great Olympic Stadium in Berlin in 1936 (still standing today, untouched by Allied bombing), there was the ten sion and the excitement ac companying the presence of Hitler, Goering, Goebels and Himmler. On the opening day of the Berlin Games, there was great interest in how the diffe rent teams would pass in re view in front of Hilter's box. Says Owens, "We were told to place our hats over our hearts. The crowd did not like it. Every nation dipped its flag to I the Fuhrer as it passed the Chancellor's box. Every na tion but one. The United States flag has never been dipped." ^^EAlT’Thi^harlotte Post’ each week. It is your best source of news about the peo ^OODttATIN?
