NNPA Appeals For Black Reporter On Ford-Carter Debate Panel
~rvv<ui iiic ruai
Mrs. Beulah Williamson, by
secret ballot, was elected
Greater Gethsemane’s "Wo
man of the Year" last Sunday
by members of the Church.
This honor could not have
gone to a more worthy, de
vout, hard working, Christian
than this humble lady. She is
the daughter of a Methodist
minister, the late Rev. Wil
liam Mackey and her mother,
the late Mrs. Emma Benson
Mackey who provided the
Christian atmosphere in the
home which has permeated
her life since infancy.
The Church is still the focal
point in her life which causes
her to work so diligently,
seldom missing a Sunday even
though she is incapacitated by
painful, crippling arthritis.
She doesn't complain but goes
about her Christian duties
anyway. Having beeira mem
ber of Greater Gethsemane
since 1931, Mrs. Williamson is
a member of the Excelsior
Sunday School class, member
of the W.H. & F.M. Society,
member of Missionary Circle
NO. 3, Life member of W.H. &
F.M. Society, member of the
Willing Workers Club which is
made up of conference work
ers of Gethsemane. She has
been president of Stewardess
Board No. 1 for quite a num
ber of years and was instru
mental in planning the first
pastor's appreciation services
at Gethsemane. This effort
has continued and grown each
year and she was responsible
A native of Lancaster, S.C.
she was married to the late
George Henry Williamson.
They were the parents of five
children. The
eldest daughter, Mrs. Lucille
Summers, Is an employee at
Pritchard Memorial Baptist
Chruch, Mrs. Louise Lati
more, a directory assistant for
Bell Telephoae, Mrs Betty J.
Wirt, a teacher in Washington.
D.C., Mr. Odell Williamson,
an employee with an advertis
ing company in Philadelphia,
and Mr George E. William
son, an .employee with the
Charlotte Police Dept. Not
only did Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liamson rear their own child
ren successfully, but at the
death of Mrs. Williamson's
sister, they took her five child
ren and reared them success
fully as well. Those were very
difficult years but they met
the challenge. Now a family of
ten, they moved to Charlotte
in 1930 and in 1931, they
became members at Gethse
mane where many of them are
still very active.
Mr. Williamson passed se- •
veral years ago shortly after
they had been married for
fifty years. Gethsemane is
very proud of Mrs. William
son. her family, and the many
contributions that they have
made and are continuing to
make to the Church and com
munity as well. She will be
honored on this Sunday morn
ing at 11 o'clock as Greater
Gethsemane’s 1976 Woman of
the Year.

me aoara oi Directors of
the National Newspaper Pu
blishers Association (Black
Press of America) has dis
patched an urgent appeal to
the League of Women Voters
that it assign a black reporter
to the media debate panel
assigned to ask questions in the
Ford-Carter debates. The
board noted that the League
.. has already selected an all
white panef and that more
than 25 million, a majority of
the nation's minority groups
will be deprived of "a black
viewpoint" at the presidential
debate beginning in Philadel
phia next week.
In firing off a letter to the
League, Dr. Goodlett. NNPA
president, said he was acting
after a unanimous vote on a
.resolution of the board that “a
distinguished black reporter
sit in the press panel to assure
a complete coverage of Ame
rica's Civil Rights and the
candidates’ viewpoints re
garding black Africa which at
the moment is the focal point
of world politics.”
The directors met at the
Summit Hotel in New York
City last week to project a
wide-ranging program for the
1977 Sesquicentennial year of

the vast black market is
reached by NNPA editors of
more than 200 newspapers and
magazines read by more than
6,000,000 subscribers. "This is
not a too miniscule an audi
ence,” Dr. Goodlett pointed
out.
Goodlett. president and pu
blisher of the San Francisco
Sun Reporter and eight other
Bay area newspapers, laid
before the board a sesquicen
tennial celebration program
which would touch upon: "An
assessment of the present sta
tus of black Americans 150
years after the founding of
Freedom's Journal in March
of 1827, and the 114th Anniver
sary Year of Lincoln's Eman
cipation Proclamation -- a
Search for a Black Ideolog\ "
He set tentative dates (Janu
ary 14 - 18, 1977) for a meeting
of 30 to 50 black behavioral
and interdisciplinary scien
tists to a Think-Tank and
Discussion Colloqium to make
that assessment

"United." said Dr Goodlett
in summarizing his program
"We can become the matrix of
the new mosaic portraying the
sum total ol a victorious black
experience, as we labor in our
use of every resource at our
command to defeat all forms
of individual human political
and economic tyranny."
The directors also passed a
resolution encompassing a
stepped up war on crime; "the
unacceptable weight" on
Black Americans seeking
jobs, a foreign policy advoca
ting majority rule for South
Africa; aid to urban centers
facing the prospect of becom
ing prisons for the disadvan
taged. election of candidates
"most sympathetic" to Black
aspirations, and a demand
that presidential candidates'
cease appeals to fear and
suspicion based on racism."
