Parent-Teacher Board Objects To Sale
MOUNT HOREB, Wis. (AP)-A
cooperative removed two black-faced
garden statues after the Mount Horeb
Parent-Teacher Association board
said selling them was racially insen
sitive.
Mark Johnson, retail manager for
the Mount Horeb Farmers Union
Cooperative, said the pieces came
with other garden statues carried by
the store for the first time this year
and were not individually selected.
Judy Patenaude, a PTA board
member, told Johnson the black
faced statues showed “racial insen
sitivity because they are a stereotype
of black slaves.”
One was a black fisherboy and the
other was a black lantern carrier.
She met with Johnson and informed
him of the PTA stand.
It reflects “our feeling as parents
and as an organization that we cannot
ignore the innuendoes, slurs and
jokes,” she said. “We would send the
wrong message to children and
others if we did not say anything, did
not face the issue.”
While the co-op disliked both the
principle of private groups dictating
to businesses and the manner in
which it was done, the co-op agreed to
honor the request, Johnson said.
Neighborhood
Unhappy With 13
Year Old Festival
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (AP)-The
neighborhood that has hosted
Philadelphia’s Odunde African
American Festival for the past 13
years is unhappy with the disruption
the Nigerian New Year’s festival
causes.
The South Street West Civic
Association has complained to city of
ficials that the festival, scheduled for
Sunday, has grown too large for the
neighborhood.
“Clearly a lot of people in the
neighborhood think the festival
should be held at Penn’s Landing,
I where other major events are held,”
said Sharon Hartson of the civic
association. “But others recognize
the history and tradition of the
festival at this location, so we’re say
ing make it something everybody can
be happy with.”
The group wants more toilet
facilities and would like the event to
end at dusk instead of 10 p.m.
Lois Fernandez, coordinator and
co-founder of Odunde, Nigerian for
“Happy New Year,” contends that
the association’s complaints are
another effort to remove the predom-*
inantly black festival from the in
creasingly upscale neighborhood.
Odunde features African entertain
ment, food, arts and handicrafts. It
attracts tens of thousands and has
spawned similar celebrations in
Washington and Baltimore.
It features a parade to the South
Street Bridge over the Schuylkill
where gifts to Oshun are dropped into
the water in the ancient tradition of
the Yoruba people of Nigeria.
Since the days when Bill Pickett
first bulldogged a steer to the
dust, the Black cowboy has been
a symbol of originality and daring.
Today, that bold spirit is embo
died in Black rodeos and their
dynamic cowboys.
The Adolph Coors Company,
brewer of Coors, Coors Light and
Coors Extra Gold,* is proud to
bring the Bill Pickett Rodeo
to audiences across the nation.
From one original to another, let's
keep our traditions riding high.
