Dr. Nettie J. Asberry, a
Baha'i of Tacoma, Washington
since 1945, passed to the Abb'a
Kingdom on November 17, at
the age of 103. Dr. Asberry was
the northwest founder of the
National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People
and from the time of her ar
rival in Tacoma from Kansas In
1893, she was active in cultural
affairs, particularly in the area
of music. She is believed to
have been one of the first Ne
gro women to receive the doc
tor's degree, which was earned
at the Kansas State Conserva
tory of Music.
She became one of the best
known music teachers in her
area and for many years pre
sented a class of 45 or more
pupils in recital each year.
.Shortly before her death, Dr.
Asberry donated musical in
struments and library materials
for a music hall that is to be
named in her honor.
Dr. Asberry was also active
in social work, especially among
young persons and women, and
?was well known as a steadfast
seeker of equality and peace.
EVEN WITH TWO
SQUEAKERS. AGGIES
ROLL IN CIAA PLAT
(Continued from Pa*# 1)
ingham scored nine points and
muscled four tough rebounds
to spark the Aggies' rally. "I
am really glad he came
through for us;" said Irvin,
"because it will give him the
confidence he needs."
High scoring Daryle Cherry
aga>n led A&T's scoring with
16 points. He was followed by
freshman Elmer Austin with
14 points. At Elizabeth City,
the Aggies nearly pulled the
-upset of the season, that is un
til they blew an 18-point lead
In the second period.
With Daryle Cherry popping
away, A&T took a 34-25 half
time margin. The Aggies con
tinued their high powered at
tack In the second half and
stretched their lead to 18 points,
"before the Vikings began a
sensational comeback that
?earned them the victory.
With Israel Oliver and Hu
"bert Moorer doing most of the
scoring, Elizabeth City sewed
up the win. A&T's first loss of
the season nullified a fine 41
point effort by Cherry, easily
the outstanding star of the
tame.
DETROIT SCOPE MAGAZINE
EXAMINES WHAT WE'RE
DOING TO KEEP OUR
CHILDREN OUT OF
RACISM
"Since the beginning of the
black revolution, black de
mands and tactics have brought
about many reactions from the
white population In the U. S.
One of the most significant of
those reactions may turn out to
be the indictment of white so
ciety for the current racial fric
tion. In the Kemer Commission
Report on Civil Disorders and
other studies conducted by pre
dominantly white groups, white
racism was defined as the chief
enemy of racial peace. These
studies seem to agree with
Martin Luther King's conclusion
that "The American People are
Infected with Racism'."
How white groups and indi
viduals have begun to combat
racism before it begins In white
children is explored in an arti
cle by Jim Ingram in the Feb
ruary 8th issue of Detroit Scope
magazine.
Ingram details how some
programs to broaden children's
contact with racial minorities ?
on both the public and paro
chial school levels ? are well
received and how others have
met parental opposition.
"Many black militant students
feel that the public school sys
tem is offering 'Too little, too
late and not enough black.'
"Chidren, as natural mimics,
pick up their parents' preju
dices. The concept that 'Some
body who is different from me
is not inferior to me' must be
taught early," Ingram writes.
