An understanding of v/hat causes - hunger in the v/orld is basic to deciding v/hat must be done. The cry lor Dread cannot be separated from the cry for justice. People v/ho are malnourished and starved are poor. They are poor because they lack the pov/er—not the desire or ability—to take part in the decisions that affect their lives. We can't find out what must be done to end hunger unless v/e see hov/ hunger is related to basic social, eco nomic and political issues. Christians have a mandate to both feed the hungry and loose the bonds of op- ;pression. Central to our study must be theological reflection. Learning .'about hunger and our response to it ‘.•begins first v/ith the Bible. The Old Testament abounds v/ith stories, prophesies and psalms about God’s concern for justice for those who are oppressed and about God’s desire that God’s people v/ill be instruments of that justice. Likev/ise, , the life and teachings of Jesus Christ in the Nev/ Testament affirm His special love and ministry for the pror, the hungry, and the dov/n- I'-odden and His call to us as His disciples to follow in this love and ministry. Each of us must vote to help our nation decide hov/ it should use its power and wealth. VOTE! Hold a newborn colosely with his arms and legs tucked in to calm him.

Rev, Norman Davis, Smithfield BY LILLIE M. LEE When everyday life seems to be a hard road to struggle and every effort you put forth seems to be in vain, all you have to do is ask the Savior to help you because you can well remember He, too, felt pain, Just kneel and pray and He will hear, One thing we know is that He is never too busy to listen; no hour is ever too late. You just call Him and surely He will be on time. Maybe not as you would want, but He is always right. He is the same today as He was in the days of slavery.

HISTORIC (Continued from page 13) President Robinson expressed to students that it is not important whether they complete their degree in four years or whether it takes five years, but that they complete it. In a v/orld of change one will ne.ed to be able to compete. It comes down to “Who enters the door versus who comes to the door. Don’t waste time trying to become professional athletes and entertainers, because one out of every 1,000 makes it.” Meanv/hile, v/here are the lawyers. I GALLERY PRESENTATION-Colorado state Sen. Regis Groff, right, accepts a “Gallery of Greats: The Civil Rights Movement” limited edition lithograph from Miller Brewing Co.’s mountain regional manager, Webster Thompson. The presentation was made at the opening night reception of the Gallery of Greats art exhibit at the Denver Art Museum. The reception, sponsored by the Colorado Black Caucus and Miiinr. was attended bv more than 500 invited ouests. physicians, clergymen, physicists and other professionals? “The future belongs to those who prepare.” EDUCATION (Continued from page 13) by fostering an awareness of one’s historical (and/or mythological) origins which gave insight into the resources which each individual contained by virtue of his divine and genetic legacy. The secret for such enlightenment was the ancient edict of “Man, know thyself,” inscribed by these ancient scholars on the portals of their temples (which were simul taneously universities). The positive self-image emerged from the cultivation of self-knowledge. The application of the knowledge v/hich v/as obtained was manifested through self-discipline. So the things most critical in an educational system are to know oneself, and to know how to manage that self. This persisting deficiency in the education of African-Americans has created the great difficulties of re-ascendency which we have experienced as a people. Dr. Woodson’s identification of our problem as existing in what we were taught seems to still be a quite relevant assessment of our educational difficulties. This problem described so accu rately by Dr. Woodson more than 50 years ago is even more of a problem as we enter the 21st century and find African-American youth being not only “miseducated” but actually “de- educated.” De-educated means that they are 'being systematically excluded from the educational system and/or being systematically destroyed within the system. This is ■ an issue of great complexity and magnitude, and it takes a thinker of considerable talent to tackle the numerous dimensions of this problem. / Jawanza Kunjufu is such a thinker and his book, “Developing Positive Self-Images and Discipline in Black Children,” addresses the issue of black education in a very readable and pragmatic way. Kunjufu organizes his approach to black education around the issue of the importance of positive self- images and discipline as a prerequi site for the effective education of African-American children. He takes a fresh approach to the age-old problem of self-esteem and its impact on education. This fresh approach is one which begins to propose some concrete resolutions for those problems. Though Kunjufu’s ideas are far from complete in resolving these problems, they can certainly be helpful. The book is a manual describing some techniques which teachers, parents and others who plan and work with children might apply in addressing some specific adjustment difficulties of African- American children. The author seems to be cognizant of the fact that these particular difficulties exist in a social matrix' rooted in oppression, thwarted oppor tunity, violated human freedom and European ethnocentrism. He also recognizes that these problems of African-American youth are part of an educational system that is too materialistic, too individualist, and too mechanistic. Though this context is clear, he succeeds in going beyond the limits of what cannot be done and shows us some real things that can be done until the oppressive context is vanquished. This fact alone makes this document a must reading for those who ask, “But what can v/e do about it?” Na’im Akbar is a professor at Florida State University. FUNDED (Continued from page 13) script collection of materials pertaining to black women and their organizations, and extensive corresDondence. nhotographs and memorabilia relating to Ms. Bethune. “There is a lot of history here,” said Rollings. “Mary McLeod Bethune taught not only women and people of her race; she taught all Americans. She was the most influential black woman in the United States for more than three decades. Her remarkable skills as a leader and her ability as an orator brought national attention to the problems of black Americans. “I think it’s important to remind Americans of her great contribution to our nation’s history. By helping in the restoration of the home from which she directed her many activities, perhaps we can enlighten others to the value of her great work,” said Hollings. Mary McLeod Bethune was born in 1875 near Mayesville, S.C., to former slaves turned sharecroppers. Greenville BY MRS. BEATRICE MAYE A WliLL-lsniiLi FEKSOIN... 1. Attends an occasion appro-' priately dressed, whether it’s a ball game, church service, concert or school party. If you are not sure, read a book on good manners. I recommend “Miss Manners’ Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior” by Judith Martin (Atheneum Publishers). 2. It sne wears a nat, her gloves are worn, too. 3. Regardless of the temperature, a gentleman wears his suit (or a coat), shirt and tie to a church service. 4. Arrives on time for a meeting, dinner or a date or an engagement. To keep your hostess waiting is rude, inconsiderate and selfish. 5. Gentlemen still allow ladies to enter first, open doors, and walk next to the curbing. 6. Gives compliments, remembers birthdays, anniversaries, and sends little surprises occasionally. 7. Offers his seat to ladies, older people, invalids and handicapped persons. 8. Uses these keys: “thank you,” “excuse me,” “forgive me,” “please,” and “I’m sorry.” 9. Stays awake in church, refrains from talking, and listens attentively consistently. 10. Speaks at all times courteously. 11. Gives reverence to God before each mpp) 12. Sees ladies and children inside of doors when they are put out (riding in your car). 13. Holding up the line to make a decision as to what to eat in the buffet line, or the line at Hardee’s or MacDonald’s is selfish and incon siderate of others. 14. Does not withhold honest praise. People hunger for it. 15. Does not talk obesity to one who is overweight. ^ 16. Age is a sore subject to many. It’s better not to discuss it or ask any question like “How old were you when you married?” or “How long have you been married? ” 17. Does not talk about college degrees to those who don’t have them, handicaps, job title, salary. These are sensitive areas. We need to examine our lifestyles: 1. Immorality 2. Unfair business practices i Animosity between bplig^'°’'g What we fail to do is often moie serious than what we do. Neglecting the poor in our communities, failing to welcome strangers and visitors, not sharing our wealth for the support of missionaries. Sometimes people are opposed, not because they have done wrong, but because they are doing too many things right. However, in small measure, we have all known people whose calm mastery over some area—whether -manners, grammar, speech clarity, or whatever—has , made us painfully aware of our own deficiencies. Three simple acts which mean so much in a time of need: kindness, assistance, encouragement.
