Miss Fairfax spoke Monday, March 5. on the subject “The Courage to Be." She statoi that we are called to an authentic personal existence but have we the courage to make life our own? We should search as individuals to discover our own uniqueness., or what makes each of us differ ent as individuals, she challenged. Through history we can find out how others discover their identity. She slated that, as Negroes, we are afraid to risk self discovery as a person or a a group. We have been identified as second-class cit izens and the more we break the .shackles, the more we need to de fine integration and what it will be like. One’s intellectual search for his identity is important in choosing a vocation, she stated; and an im portant factor is mobility, broad ening experience, service projects, language foreign) mastery. The uniqueness of the American Negro lies in the fact that he us born in a society which is quite inconceivable to other groups —a world of a greater number of pos sibilities.
