Ahmad Daniels .Program sponsor Daniels To Honor Maleom X By Lori Grier Pott Staff Writer -Oaring Black History MdRh, we salute Dr. Martin Luther King, jr„ Mary McCleod Bethune, Frederick Douglass, Har riet Tubman and other black contributors, but “not very much is put out about Malcolm -X,” pro tested Ahmad Daniels. BBecause of that a film t life entitled X, The Man In t," will be shown li his albums, a about his con _and blacks ex tending their relationship with Third World people. Although he was assas sinated on February 21, -UWVthe affair will-be held February 19 from 4-6 p.m. at McCrorey Branch YMCA, Beatties Ford Road. Ahmad Daniels, sponsor, extends a free invitation to the public to attend. Darnels, 35, mentioned that Malcolm X (born Malcolm Little) talked about the necessity of blacks protecting and de fending themselves by “any means necessary" and that he came during a time when the most radical things were happening, such as blacks integrating lunch counters, theaters and restrooms. Malcolm said that we have to look beyond the achieving of civil rights and aim for human rights. “His whole idea was if you get your human rights, your civil rights would come,” he continued. , ^cording to Daniels, Malcolm X viewed non violence in a totally dif ferent fashion from King and others. “Malcolm took odds with the way King and other civil rights giants ware going about getting freedom for blacks. He realised that with the kill ings of three black girls in a church in Birmingham, Alabama, Emmett Till, Medgar Even and others, you couldn’t speak non violence to a person who didn’t understand non violence and that there was nothing wrong with blacks < arming themselves against violence inflicted upon them time and time again.’’ Malcolm X spent six years in prison for bur glary. During that time he became a Muslim and de veloped a fondness for knowledge, history and love of black people. Mal colm attributes much of his knowledge to the late spiritual leader of the Na tion of Islam, Elijah Mu hammad. After his release from prison, he took the teachings of Muhammad to the brothers on the street and told them to take the ^edle out of their arms, Hphe told the sisters that Hre was another way to Brice it in the world with m* being a prostitute. IpBtammad appointed him national minister, and he organised mosques throughout America Daniels believes that Malcolm X was killed for ooe reason. “He attempted to take the black problem to the United Nations and have them put America on trial for violating the Mahan rights of n million African-Americans. Ame rica didn’t want to be em barrassed by having her la the United Nations Malcolm dkhVt^weitato to A new community sup port group, the Friends of Johnson C. Smith Univer sity, was officially chart ared and a board of direc tors selected at a dinner reception hosted by Smith President, Dr. Robert L. Albright, February 2nd. The new organization is co-chalred by Mrs. Eliza beth Randolph, retired Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools area superinten dent and Dr. Gerson Stroud, former West Char lotte High School principal. Its purpose is to serve as a liaison between Johnson C. Smith University and the community in ways which a) encourage the sharing of ideas and in formation, b) promote the development of the Uni versity and c) create op portunities for the Univer sity to serve the needs of the community at large. “We perceive an organ ization that will lead, sup port and participate in a wide variety of meaning ful social, service, cultural, educational and religious events and programs,” noted Dr. Albright in the President’s Charge to the group. “We envision ve hicles of continuing educa tion which will contribute to the quality of life in the immediate community and attract the experts and involvement of the greater community. Johnson C. _ Smith University will de finitely assume an active role in the development of The Biddleville-Five Points neighborhood in particular and the near West Side at Large,” added Dr. al bright. Preliminary planning in cludes a program of not able speakers, life enrich ment seminars and other special events and contin uing education opportun ities currently unavailable. “Friends of JCSU will be an open and visible organ ization without limitations of race, position and sta ture in the community, which will Join in our quest for a new era of excellence,” remarked Dr. Albright. “I have been concerned about the lack of com munity outreach by Smith Johnson C.

Albright, center, is flanked by "Friends of JCSU” fo-chairpersons, Mrs. Elizabeth Randolph, left, and Dr. Gerson Stroud. in the last 40 years,” noted Elizabeth Randolph. ‘I could not say no to the important endeavors that this group will try to achieve.” Dr. Stroud, a Charlotte native and graduate of JCSLV recalls the__past 75 years when the Beatties Ford Road school was vir tually a foreigner in Char lotte midst. “Few graduates of Se cond ward High went to Smith,” observed Dr. Stroud. "I went as a matter of economics. They let me put $5 down and pay $5 a month right up until I graduated with a good edu cation and no balance due.” “J.C. Smith is much bet ter known today, but there is still so much to do,” continued Dr. Stroud. “The President has given this school a new direction. I look forward to helping JCSU fulfil] its vital role in Charlotte. We have a mis sion with busy people to carry out the goals that we wish realized.” By-laws were adopted by those present. Officers and committee chairpersons were also announced as follows: Mary Gill (secre tary); Oscar Bidgood (treasurer); Frank Mc Cain (membership com mittee); Juanita Reid (no minating committee); Vivian Nivens (public rela tions); Marie Grier (social committee) and Vivian Williams (special pro jects).

Though our beauty hasn’t decided which college she wants to attend, she’s cer tain she wants to enter the field of medicine, and possibly become a physical therapist. Her sister, Monique, attends Harvard University. Whatever Patrice strives for in -life, she will al ways have as part of her goal, the intention to im prove racial'Velations. “I~ also want to help the people in need of food, clothing and shelter,’’ she spoke on a more solemn note. When Patrice was a volunteer for Operation Hotline, she realized her problems weren’t as serious as many of those of her peers. “Operation Hotline is a teen hotline, which allows teens seeking answers-to talk to people about their concerns. I realize how fortunate I really am. I appreciate life more, and want to help people as much as possible,” Patrice urged. Our beauty has found happiness within herself and is willing to share it with the world.
