                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;

As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;

As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J.

The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P.

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;

As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The book, “Buffalo’s Live Men in Caricature” was published in 1913 in Buffalo, NY and highlights many prominent figures in the local political and business scene. While no individual cartoons are attributed to a specific artist, the majority of the cartoons were drawn by William Mitchell of the Buffalo Sunday Times, and Cornelius J. Kennedy (“Ken”) from the Buffalo Evening News. The faces in this book tell a story of a vibrant political, business and cultural scene in Buffalo at the beginning of the 20th century, including some names that are familiar today, such as Louis P. Fuhrmann, former mayor of Buffalo, and P. McNaughton, President of the Shea Amusement Company. &#13;
&#13;
As the foreward of the book states: “The men here represented are the dynamic forces of the city of Buffalo—the ‘live wires,’ if we may be permitted the slang.”&#13;

                  <text>The four seventeenth-century folio editions of &lt;em&gt;Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, &amp;amp; Tragedies&lt;/em&gt; were the first published collections of William Shakespeare’s plays and consequently are some of the most significant titles in all of English literature. The copies in the Rare &amp;amp; Special Books Collection were donated to the University Libraries by Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) along with the rest of his personal collection of rare books in 1935. That same year the original Lockwood Memorial Library opened on UB’s South Campus, thanks to the financial support of Lockwood and his wife Marion Birge Lockwood. Along with the Shakespeare folios, Lockwood owned many of the most important and collectible first and other editions from the history of western printing.</text>

                  <text>The four seventeenth-century folio editions of &lt;em&gt;Mr. William Shakespeare’s Comedies, Histories, &amp;amp; Tragedies&lt;/em&gt; were the first published collections of William Shakespeare’s plays and consequently are some of the most significant titles in all of English literature. The copies in the Rare &amp;amp; Special Books Collection were donated to the University Libraries by Thomas B. Lockwood (1873-1947) along with the rest of his personal collection of rare books in 1935. That same year the original Lockwood Memorial Library opened on UB’s South Campus, thanks to the financial support of Lockwood and his wife Marion Birge Lockwood. Along with the Shakespeare folios, Lockwood owned many of the most important and collectible first and other editions from the history of western printing.</text>

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;

&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s.

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s.

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

                  <text>The first YMCA was founded in London, England in 1844, and by 1851 the first United States YMCA was established in Boston.  In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.  It shows campers canoeing and participating in various outdoor activities.  The photographs highlight different athletic club activities, various dinners and banquets associated with the YMCA branches, and the exteriors of several Buffalo branch locations.&#13;
&#13;
Today, there are numerous YMCA locations throughout the United States and still several branches throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;

10 Point Program
and Platform of the
Black Student Unions
We want an education for our people that exposes the
true nature of this decadent American society. We want
an education that teaches us our true history and role
in the present day society. We believe in an educational
system that will give our people a knowledge of self. If
a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position
in society and the world, then he has little chance to re
late to anything else.

1. We Want Freedom We Want Power To Determine
Destiny Of Our School
We believe that we will not be free within the schools
to get a decent education unless we are able to have a
say and determine the type of education that will affect
and determine the destiny of our people.

2. We Want Full Enrollment In The Schools For
Our People.
We believe that the city and federal government is
responsible and obligated to give every man a decent
education.

3. We Want An End To The Robbery By The White
Man Of Our Black Community

We believe that this racist government has robbed
us of an education. We believe that this racist capitalist
government has robbed the Black community of its
money by forcing us to pay higher taxes for less quality.
4. We Want Decent Educational Facilities,
Fit For The Use Of Students
We believe that if these businessmen will not give
decent facilities to our community schools, then the
schools and their facilities should be taken out of the
hands of these few individual racists and placed into
the hands of the community, with government aid, so
the community can develop a decent and suitable edu
cational system.

5.We Want An Education For Our People That
Teaches How To Survive In The Present Day Society
We believe that if the educational system does not
teach us how to survive in society and the world it
loses its meaning for existence.
6. We Want All Racist Teachers To Be Excluded And
Restricted From All Public Schools.
We believe that if the teacher in a school is acting in
a racist fashion, then, that teacher is not interested in
the welfare or development of the students but only in
their destruction.

student body, in which only the students will be allowed
to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of
the students as to the school’s destiny.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men
are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator
with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these
rights within the schools, governments are instituted a
mong the students, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, that whenever any form of student
government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the
right of the students to alter or abolish it and to institute
new government , laying its foundation on such principles
and organizing its power in such form as to them shall
seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long
established should not be changed for light and transient
causes, and accordingly all experiences have shown, that
mankind are more liable to suffer, while evils are sufferable
than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which
they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and
force, pursuing invariably the same object, reveals a de
sign to reduce them to absolute destruction, it is their
right, it is their duty, to throw off such a government and
to provide new guards for their security.

All Reactionaries Are Paper Tigers

"...I would like to make a few comments concerning the
difference between the black revolution and the Negro
revolution. Are they both the same? What is the difference
between a black revolution and a Negro revolution? First,
what is a revolution? Sometimes I’m inclined to believe
that many of our people are using this word “revolution”
loosely, without taking into consideration what this word
actually means and what its historic characteristics are.
When you study the historic nature of revolutions, the mo
tive of a revolution, and the methods used in a revolution,
you may change words. You may devise another program,
you may change your goal and you may change your mind.
Look at the American Revolution in 1776. That revolu
tion was for what? For land. Why did they want land?
Independence. How was it carried out? Bloodshed Num
ber one, it was based on land, the basis of independence.
And the only way they could get it was through bloodshed.
Revolution is based on Land
The French Revolution-what was it based on? The land
less against the landlord. What was it for? Land. How
did they get it? bloodshed. Was no love lost, was no com
promise, was no negotiation. I’m telling you-you don’t
know what a revolution is. Because when you find out what
it is, you’ll get back in the alley, you’ll get out of the way.
The Russian Revolution-what was it based on? Land;
the landless against the landlord. How did they bring it a
bout? Bloodshed. You haven’t got a revolution that doesn’t
involve bloodshed. And you’re afraid to bleed. I said you’re
afraid to bleed.
As long as the white man sent you to Korea, you bled.
Pacific to fight the Japanese, you bled. You bleed for white
people, but when it comes to seeing your own churches being
bombed and little black girls murdered, you haven’t got any
blood. You bleed when the white man says bleed; you bite
when the white man says bite; and you bark whenthe white
man says bark. I hate to say this about us, but it’s true.
How are you going to be non-violent in Mississippi, as vio
lent as you were in Korea? How can you justify being nonviolent in Mississippi and Alabama, when your churches are
being bombed and your little girls are being murdered, and
at the same time you are going to get violent with Hitler, and
Tojo, and somebody else you don’t even know?
If violence is wrong in America, violence is wrong abroad.
If it is wrong to be violent defending black women and black
children an d black babies and black men, then it is wrong
for America to draft us andmake us violent abroad in de
fense of her. And if it is right for America to draft us, and
teach us how to be violent in defence of her, then it is right
for you and me to do whatever is necessary to defend our
own people right here in this country.
The MAU MAU were Revolutionaries
“Of all our studies, history is best qualified to reward our
research. And when you see that you’ve got problems, all
you have to do is examine the historic method used all over
the world by others who have problems similar to yours.
Once you see how they got theirs straight, then you know how
you can get yours straight. There’s been a revolution, a
Black revolution, going on in Africa. In Kenya, the Mau Mau
were revolutionary; they were the ones who brought the word
“Uhuru” to the fore. The Mau Mau, they were revolutionary
, they believed in scorched earth, they knocked
everything aside that got in their way, and their revolution
also was based on land, a desire for land. In Algeria, the
northern part of Africa, a revolution took place . The
Algerians were revolutionists, they wanted land. France
offered to let them be intergrated into France. They told
France, to hell with France, they wanted some land, not
some France.
And they engaged in a bloody battle.

Revolution is Not nonviolent
So I cite these various revolutions, brothers and sisters,
to show you that you don’t have a peaceful revolution. You
don’t have a turn-the-other-cheek revolution. There’s no
such thing as a nonviolent revolution. The only kind of

the black revolution is sweeping Asia, is sweeping Africa, is
rearing its head in Latin America. The Cuban Revolutionthat’s a revolution. They overturned the system. Revolution
"It is imperativeto overcome
is in Asia, revolution is in Africa, and the white man is
screaming because he sees revolution in Latin America,
anything that impairs Unity"
How do you think he’ll react to you when you learn what a
real revolution is? You don’t know what a revolution is. If
-Mao
you did, you wouldn’t use that word.”

The Two Edged
Sword:
A Total Program
In view of the problems and organizational growing pains
now confronting the Black Student Union, it has become
evident that some type of constructive action program must
be developed to cope with this situation. The B.S.U. is now
being called upon by both the Black Community and the Ad
ministrative echelon of the University to fulfill some type
of undefined responsibility. The organization recognizes the
fact that this responsibility does exist, but because it is un
defined, a problem arises. Therefore, it is the duty of the
organization to outline or define its own responsibilities.
The guidelines for this responsibility shall lie within the
scope of the capabilities and resources of the organization,
and shall take into consideration all past experience the
organization has had with the University and the Black
Community. The Two Edged Sword is a program which out
lines these responsibilities. The program in its structure
is very general, this gives it a certain degree of flexibility
that is necessary tocope with such a delicate situation. The
constructive action taken on these responsibilities shall re
sult in a program that is unique in its totality.
The two edges ofour sword shall be the Campus and the
Community, mainly because these are the focal points of
the organization.

Campus

The Black Student Union shall have the following respon
sibilities on Campus:

1. To create an atmosphere conducive to the education of
Black students. This involves both the academic and social
aspects of campus life. The organization shall also have
the duty of safeguarding the fundamental rights of all Black
people involved with the University, such as employees, etc.
2.
To institute new, meaningful programs designed
to increase the population of Black people on Campus
and any of the Educational facilities of the University.
3. To exploit all resources of the University of pertinence
to Black people, be they factual, organizational,
Structural, financial or otherwise.
4. To function as an effective Political organization on
Campus.
5. To function as a Liaison between the Black Community
and the University in any instance where the Community
would benefit.
The Black Student Union shall have the following respon
sibilities to the Black Community:
1. To educate and re-educate Black people.
2. To afford Man and Mind power to the Black Community.
3. To create programs to cater to the needs of the Black
Community. These programs should include tutoring, stu
dent counselling, employment service, homemaking and
housekeeping education, consumer education and infor
mation. drug abuse education, Health service information,
Youth Companion and recreation.

Fact Or Fiction?
Black Studies
Black Studies on the U,B. campus?
Never heard of it!
Don’t feel bad brother, not too many people have.
It’s the best kept secret on campus. The only real news
we’ve heard in a while concerning the Program is that
Dr. Hollis Lynch is abandoning ship for more “suit
able” surroundings. His reasons are well known or at
least should be known to every Black student on the
campus. It should necessitate a time of reflection; so
let’s reflect a little.
Black studies was first proposed in spring '68. Since
that time proposals have been written, a trillion com
mittee meetings have been held, recruitment trips have
taken place and various people have been contacted,
all with very little results. The only concrete knowledge
that anyone who has attended any of those meetings can
come away with is that the program isn’t together. Who’s
to blame for that? Unfortunately people, we are. Us and
us alone. I say this because the administration is on the
line. They have committed themselves and its up to us
to make good their committment.
Be no fool, the Program, as it stands now, is actually
a farce. Various departments of the University will “con
tribute” instructors to teach courses aimed toward the
Black direction. It should be clearly understood by all of
us that, as defined now, the Black Studies “Program”
will not be autonomous. I say autonomous in the sense of
the autonomy of, let’s say, the English “Department’
with their own budget, their own instructors, course
evaluations, graduate assistants’ program, etc. This
means Control over their department (Guess Who Is In
The Majority On Our Black Studies Advisory
Committee?)
The only effective and realistic black
studies program is one which is autonomous;
one in which black students, teachers,
administrators, and community people
have a say so. Anything else is not what’s
happening. Everyone’s always crying about
buffalo. 'as dr. lynch stated in an interview
held last week, buffalo is an excellent place
for a good black studies program because of
a talented black community. Believe me,
the resources are here; the people are here. the
most attractive aspect of this city is its
fertility. It hasn’t been tapped. And it’s
there for the asking.

Too
Much
by A. Crossman
Yes; You are

You've taken me out of the
cradle
And have seen me through, till

1 was able
You told me go far
So in turn you’d be proud
But I find myself in a crowd
Unable to function as myself
Yet, I must find my soul
Which they dependent upon
For it is; within you
That one can find the secrets
Which bear the Promise of
Tomorrow

And the threat of Today
If in unity there is strength
United we will find a way
We can be so many times
stronger

If only you knew how much !!!

Time Will
Tell
by A. Crossman

It is no longer the time for
revolution

The time has surpassed when

So where does that leave us?
Our in the open with the pressure on us.

man continues
To be harassed; racially as

well as socially
His only alternative is to Kill

and be Killed

Until such a time that he has
gained complete independence

Just as with our demands, the white man throws it back
in our laps, where it seems to die a slow death. Right now
we have two alternatives. One, we can accept the present
program, take the better of the courses which wil 1 be
offered, and beginning September '69, start to reshape the
Program to suit our wants and needs so that by September
'70, we can have a together Black Studies “Department”
(note change). “Or” we can scrap this Program and build
a whole new one. That is the question. Reflect!
Bob Jackson, Black Studies Committee
Mary Harley, Secretary

It may not be the only solution
to our problem

But it is an equal reaction to
the action

which he has been
taking upon us

A Program for the Immediate Implementation of the
Two Edged Sword
1. Orientation program for all incoming Black students.
2. Development of a continuing program-films, speakers,
etc, relevant to Black people.
3. Establishment of political education seminars, possibly
for credit.
4. Development of effective B.S.U. newsletter and the esta
blishment of closer ties with B.S.U.’s in the region, state,
and country.
5. A) Investigation of conditions of non-white university
employees, particularly cafeteria and maintenance work
ers.
B)
Investigation of university admissions policy
6. In cooperation with an existing community institution
develop a tutorial program or some meaningful program
which will enable members of the B.S.U. to work with Black
youth on a regular basis.
