’ THE CJUIOLmiAN RALEIGH. N. C . SATURDAY, DECEMBER 25. IST 34 Charms Os Women ire Affirmed Seven leading Black men praised the charms of Black wo men in an article af firming their love,ap preciation, and re spect. Writing in the cur rent issue of Essence magazine, now on newstands , the top Black men asserted that Black women to day are not walking be hind Black men but rather at their side. However, comedian and poli tical activist Dick Gregory said, “Black women are probably the most beautiful women on the face of the earth. The sad thing is that they get hung up in the degeft®rate concept of white beauty.’' That times are changing, though, was pointed out by Hugh Masekela, the South African musician, who noted, ‘‘When I came to the U. S. from Afri ca in 1960, I couldn’t under stand Black women. They had a very unnatural look; their hair was straightened, they had red on their cheeks and lips, and they acted kind of whitish. It was difficult to communicate with them. “Around 1968 and Malcolm X’s time, when people began to realize their heritage, the sisters transformed in front of my eyes. Now they have become so beautiful, I cannot ; look at anything else. I can • visually relate to their new fresh natural look. “They have a definite look of newness and oldness--they've gotten rid of that white thing,*’ Masekela cncluded. Comedian Richard Pryor was not alone in commenting on ■ what Black women have done tb help their men. “The Black woman went through a lot of Hell to keep her man alive ■ &nd had to do a lot of s— that no other woman in the ' world would have done. After the white woman hated you, the white man degraded you and the Black man put you down, you still loved us. Me owe you a lot.” Actor-singer Cleavon Little called the Black woman “the culmination of every woman in .the world'' and TV star Flip Wilson added, “My mother was Black, my two daughters are Black, all my girl friends are Black, and ‘Geraldine’is Black, need I say more?” Writer John O. Killens point ed out, “For almost 400 years the American white Establish ment has worked, deliberately and diabolically, to transform Black men into women and Black women into men. _ . "Whites sought to dehu manize us, but they in turn, became the most inhumane race. The Black woman is the universal woman.” Kiilens ad ded that when he thought of Black womanhood, he thought of Black women “walking, not three paces to the rear, but side fey side with their Black men.” The use of protective ear plugs by persons who must work in noisy environments is strongly advocated by the Bel tone Crusade for Hearing Con servation. However crusade of ficials also stress that the plugs must fit properly to be effective as a loose, poor-fit ting ear piyg is useless.

Yes, We All Talk BY MARCUS H. BOULM’ARE SPEECH COMMUNICATION IS REMARKABLE People talk approximately na percent of the time when they, communicate; that is, they ei ther listen or talk. It Is word of mouth; everyone does it. Ac ceptably? Effectively? Con vincingly? Not always for any of us. Never for some; that’s why we need to teach speech! M’hy teach speech, some of us will say? M’e have been talk ing for years and no complaints. Well, if some had complained, you may well have become an gry. The point we are trying to make is that good speech skills, like other human skills, are subject to improvement. Speech and voice skills vary in degree from person to person. Some folks are endowed with better vocal structures than others; by reason environmental influ ences, learn speech better than others. Yet, everyone is capa ble of improvement. Some individuals have not been convinced that they have speech problems; and therefore, they lack motivation to work hard in order to improve their oral communication. To get some idea of how hard one should work to improve his speech, I invite each reader to see the movie “My Fair Lady.” The reader will also enjoy the music included in the cinema.
