f||N. Assembly President
Has Ties With Warren GI*
Mill Aagie Brooks, a native
of Liberia who was educated
by Mr. and llrs. J. B. Jordan
at Warren County at Shaw Uni
versity, will be inducted into
office as President of the Unit
ed Nations General Assembly
on Tuesday, Sept. 16, at 3 p. m.
The Rev. C. E. Cheek was
instrumental in having Miss
Brooks brought from Africa
and was at Shaw while she was
a student there. They formed
a close association and she calls
him Father Cheek. This rela
tionship was responsible for
Mr. Cheek receiving a letter
from the Mission of the Re
public of Liberia to the Unit
ed Nations under date of Sept.
5, 1969, Inviting him to come to
New York to see her inducted
Into office. Sne wrote:
"Dear Father Cheek:
"Please come to New York
to see your daughter inducted
Into office on 16 September at
3 p. m. as President of the
United Nations General As
sembly."
The letter was signed, "Love,
Daughter Angle."
Miss Brooks was brought to
America bj the Original Baptist
Association after Mr. and Mrs.
Jordan agreed to pay her tui
tion through Shaw University
where Mr. Cheek was Na
tional Alumni Secretary and
PR Director, Mr. Jordan died
a number of years ago and his
widow later moved to Philadel
phia, Pa., where she is still
living. Mr. Cheek said that she
must be nearly 100 years old.
While at Shaw, Miss Brooks
worked part time in the office
of Prof. Cheek. While working in
his office, Prof. Cheek said yes
terday, she came into his
office crying and told him that
she had made a B on an exami
nation. Told that was not a bad
mark, she said it was for her
because she was an A student
and that she was going to re
study the book and take a second
examination. "I am not going to
have a B by my name," Prof.
Cheek quoted her as saying.
After graduating from Shaw
she entered Howard University
In Washington, D. C., where she
mastered In International Law,
and then continued her studies
In International Law at the
University of Iowa.
Following her graduation
from Iowa University, she re
turned to her home from where
she was appointed Assistant At
torney General of Liberia.
She was later sent to the
United Nations to represent
her country.
Prof. Cheek said that due to
his age and poor health he was
not certain that he could at
tend the installation ceremon
ies. However, he said that the
success of this woman who came
to America as a young woman
is a great source of satisfac
tion to him.
He said ' that Miss Brooks
had frequently visited him and
his family and Mr. and Mrs.
Jordan In Warren County.
