University of Buffalo’s Black Students Union is erasing this problem for about 130 pupils a day through its free breakfast program each morning in West minster House, 421 Monroe St. The Program is financed through a $3,500 grant by the UB Student Assn. It began three weeks ago and the initial grant is down to about $1,500. Com munity and civic response has been slow, but, says Mrs. Ka rene Asbury, 21, of 437 Hum boldt Parkway., a senior majoring in history: “We’re going to keep this go ing through sheer determina tion; we’ll find the funds some way.” The BSU has some 1,000 mem bers, and about 10 to 20 partici pate in serving breakfast each day. whether the children ate at home and are coming here for seconds,’ we don’t turn anyone away,” added Mrs. Asbury. She said the students allot 70 cents per day per child, and usually serve 130 children a day. One day, 192 breakfasts were served. Shopping is* done over the weekend. "We do most of our purchas ing through ‘Echo,’ a black co operative program, because we have learned that most food stores in black areas over charge their customers,” she added, continuing: "We Plan to expand this program to a second location in January, and we’d also like to begin consumer education courses based on what we’ve learned through shopping for food for the program.” Another positive result of the program, Rasheim said, is “the growth of valuable relationships between young children and students.” He said he did not believe the youngsters know the older students attend college, "The First of us get here so there is probably not much at 6:15 A.M.,” explained Charles emphasis on education.

Elaborating on what promoted this program, Percy Lambert, presi dent of the Black Student Union said: “We found out that kids don’t do well in school because their mothers are unable to offer them a decent breakfast in the morning.” “So when these kids are in school, they are concentrating on the hunger pains in their stomachs instead of the schoolwork on the board,” he explained. In addition to the food costs for the program, Mr. Lambert cited another financial burden: “We had to buy a refrigerator for the West minister House because the one they had was inadequate for our needs.” “The government has been in sensitive to the needs of the people,” he continued. “The government has cut back on wel fare and our people are just barely able to live off of it. We are trying to set up a sort of emergency fund for the people of the community. We must help the community. It is our duty to attune ourselves to the needs of the people.” Black Student Union, but since they gave us less money than we asked for, we will need donations from individual people and from organizations to keep the program going.” “We might go to the next Polity meeting and ask for some money,” Mr. Lambert added. “We are also setting up a list of sources that we will go to for assistance. We will seek every source of help that is available to us, and that means every source.” Revolutionary program “There is a possibility that we would be getting food from the Department of Agriculture, but we think that the government will not risk contradicting themselves for the needs of the people. They can burn excess food, but they can’t give it to the people because it will hurt the economy. Most probably, we will be getting our food from Ecco, which is a co-op that is lo cated in the community itself,” he explained. Commenting on the possibility of getting help from businesses in the community such as A&P, Mr. Lambert stressed: “The A&P is like all white businesses. They are only concerned with making a profit over the people.” “They steal from our commu nity.” he said “and when they are asked to return it by helping, they refuse. The A&P gives ten dollars a year. We have not as yet decided on our action if the A&P doesn’t help us.” Seeks community involvement “Although the program will only serve about 100 children, gen erally in the Westminister House Emphasizing that “this is a revo area,” Mr. Lambert said, “BSU hopes to expand it into a commu lutionary program,” Mr. Lambert insisted: “We are going to make it nity-wide project. hard to say ‘no’ to a BSU member, “Right now,” he remarked, as it is hard to say ‘no’ to a Black “only BSU is involved, but eventu Panther.

At the University of Cal At the University of ifornia at Santa Barbara, a Minnesota, 50 students occupied black student was arrested at the office of Admissions and a rally for using an allegedly Records after failing to reach obscene word. The Black agreement with President Malcolm Student Union held a rally Moos over black demands, and at the next day and led the the predominantly Negro University in Ohio, crowd of 1500 in a cheer: Wilberforce classes were suspended while “One, two, three, fuck!” No administrators worked out one was arrested. grievances concerning disciplinary A speaker at the rally commented on the lunacy of arresting students for “saying the word ‘fuck’ when the real obscenities are words like kill, murder, napalm and Vietnam.” And others, remarking on how they had used the same words in lecture halls without being stopped by the police said: “The real question is, is there any free speech on this fucking campus?” The Black Student Union at Santa Barbara had formed a United Front with the United Mexican-American Students and Students for a Democratic Society to press their demands to the administration. Among these were revoking the warrant of the BSU member charged with obscenity, issuing a statement of no-censhorship-oncampus, forbidding police on campus, hiring blacks in the Athletic Department, hiring Mexican-American counselors, establishing a community relations program and creating Black Studies and Mexican-American Studies departments. Panthers shot The same week, at the UC campus at Los Angeles, two black student members of the Black Panther Party were shot to death after leaving a meeting called to di‘scuss the school’s new Afro-American Center. The two, John Huggins and Alprentice Carter, had supported the UCLA Black Student Union in the group’s opposition to the community steering committee for the center. The committee had appointed a director for the center not approved by the BSU, and this became the focal point of the struggle between the Panthers and the group supporting the committee, US, led by Ron Karenga. US is a defender of “cultural nationalism” and opposes the Panther’s politically revolutionary stand. Two brothers in US, George and Larry Stiner, have been arrested by the police in connection with the murders. A Panther spokesman has said that his group considers “four people responsible, and we’re holding Ron Karenga responsible too.” At San Francisco State College and Berkeley, protests go on. Last Thursday, police on horseback broke up demonstrations at SF State after the Superior Court issued a restraining order forbidding students to picket on campus and limiting the number of pickets outside to five per entrance. By noon, 500 were picketing. At Berkeley, police in wedges broke into the crowds after 1,000 strikers marched across the campus to Sproul Hall. They were enforcing an order against the obstruction of campus entrances by pickets. Friday, February 7, 1969 cases. A fire had destroyed the student union there the week before. Brandeis disrupted Students were ending their disruptions at colleges in the East. At Brandeis University, 75 black students occupied a building for ten days and renamed it Malcolm X University. They agreed to leave in exchange for amnesty, after finding President Morris Abram unresponsive to their demands. One student noted that the action had “exposed to the nation the inability of one of the most well-known liberal colleges in America to deal constructively with racism.” The group has not given up on its demands, but intends to continue the fight. “At present,” a member of the Afro-American Organization said, “the setting of the university does not allow us the academic freedom so sorely needed for our development as black people.” Among the demands is the establishment of an African and Afro-American Studies department. The Brandeis students intend to establish a Malcolm X Univer sity in Roxbury, Boston’s ghetto. They have won their demand for a Black Studies department on cam pus. At another well-known school, Swarthmore College, the Afro -American Students Society held a burning-in-effigy of the college and then occupied a building dur ing the early days of January. Their action was terminated by the sudden death of President Courtney Smith, after a week of meetings and discussion had shaken the school out of its cust omary apathy. Similarly roused from indifference were those at Queens College in New York, where black and Puerto Rican students in the program known as SEEK — Search for Elevation, Education and Knowledge — sat in, at, and finally stormed, the office of SEEK Director Joseph Mulholland. The students and staff members involved in SEEK, which is funded by the state to help the underprivileged through tutorials and financial assistance, were demanding autonomy for the program. A leader of the protest said that it had become “a vehicle for white employment and racism. It provides an education geared to the white experience alone, and that’s not all there is.” The SEEK students at Queens have separate classes and meet in a building off the main campus. Mulholland has been charged with discriminatory hiring practices and mismanagement of funds, although one white called his “irrelevant to the whole thing — like Archduke Ferdinand was irrelevant to World War I.” Although some whites support the demands, they have been asked not to enter the dispute by SEEK people themselves. At Pennsylvania State University, the black students’ Douglas Association used unconventional tactics to achieve their aims. They were demanding the admission of 1,000 blacks, increased University assistance to these students, and the hiring of black faculty members. Nearly 100 marched into the office of President Walker and silently built a brick wall of three feet topped by a single black brick, with a note attached: “Next time we won’t build a wall.” The wall was to symbolize the breakdown of communication between the blacks and the administration. The Douglas students then appealed to state legislators in Harrisburg. Some legislators have threatened to withhold University appropriations unless the demands are met and black enrollment increased, and announced their intention to launch an investigation of Penn State’s policies on admission and faculty hiring. SUNY victory The Black Student Alliance at SUNY at Albany won a victory Jan. 13 when President Evan Collins agreed to their demands. These were the institution of a course in Afro-American history for the spring semester, 1969; the establishment of an Afro-American Studies department by fall, and the enrollment of 300 minority-group students next year. The BSA is to play a major role in the choosing of instructors and students and the establishing of curriculum. In 1967, there were less than 20 blacks at Albany. They formed the BSA and won the admission of 200 additional blacks by 1968. They began to agitate for black history courses and mobilized white support on this issue. The administration signed the demands when the students threatened a takeover of the president’s office. The black students want to make their department “relevant not only to black students, but also to our brothers and sisters in the community.” One BSA member said: “We support all people controlling the institutions that affect their lives.” “To bring about those goals,” he continued, “people are justified in using any means necessary.” The students are scheduled to meet Wednesday with President Collins to begin work on implementation. Harvard report Harvard University, which has not had black student agitation on its stately campus, has published a report recommending the establishment of a Black Studies Program, and intends to implement the recommendation. A student at Harvard will be able to major in Afro-American Studies in addition to any concentration in other fields he might have, and would receive a degree in it. The report also urged the creation of a black cultural center, similar to Hillel House or Newman Center, and pressed for additional Negro graduate students on fellowships. The report was the work of a faculty panel which had spent nine months studying and talking to black students at Harvard. The committee found the students concerned with the same problems as whites - course Inside Brandeis building offerings, social and cultural life, inter-university relationships and university-community relations — but recognized a profound difference in outlook and needs. “The desire for some ‘all black experience’,” the report stated, “is reflected in the almost unanimous desire of black students for an exchange program between Harvard-Radcliffe and black Southern colleges.” Roy Wilkins, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has announced his opposition to the creation of Black Studies Departments and black dormitories. He said that the NAACP is planning to take the students’ demands to court, if necessary, to combat what he calls “simply another version of segregation and Jim Crow.” He believes that the courts will find such demands illegal by the same token that segregation by whites was declared illegal in 1954. He warned of the danger of a minority group talking about “separation and apartheid.” Wilkins’ comment on black militants — “They ought to be in the library studying to get a degree, so they could do some good” — sounded ironically like the words of California Gov. Ronald Reagan, who told a cheering crowd last week that he had “run out of give” to campus militants and “there will be no capitulation.” Opposing the Wilkins viewpoint was Roy Innis of the Congress of Racial Equality, who considers the demands legitimate and has pledged CORE to the defense of the students should the NAACP bring court action against the creation of all-black programs. Students camp inside Ford Hall at Brandeis University almost a month ago.

Your hatchet men have committed while you have omitted. You have turned your head while: 1. Professor Gayles is terminated in Music (yet Professor Halstead remains) Professor Gayles cannot go. 2. Professor David Banks is discriminated against and denied tenure. He is eligible and has to get tenure. 3. Mrs. Eddins was forced out of the School of Nursing. She is being considered for an appointment full-time in Black Studies. We students wish one extra line for two courses: "Halth Related Problems in the Black Community," and Social Problems in the Black Community." We need a minority line for this course to be taught by her. We do not wish to use the line vacated by James Miller for this purpose. We are interviewing Afro-American males, with Ph.D's,to fill James Miller's Faculty line. We demand an additional line. 4. Dr. Arthur Anderson was unduly eased out of the Cooperative Community College. His elimination was justified on some tremulous grounds of alleged errors. (As if white administrators have not even unwisely spent University funds. Somehow 'errors' are a privilege of the Ruling white overlords.) He was replaced by a female administrative assistant yet Mrs. Arnold was considered ineligible for EPIS. 5. Mrs. Arnold, who had acted as Director for EPIS was shoved out under pretext that she was never officially appointed (This, despite the fact that she had been an efficient assistant to Mr. Peasant and had covered the Program for over half of the semester with staff and student support). further: Attempts have been made to harass Mrs. Arnold out of her job, declare her inefficient, and to force her off the Campus. Mrs. Arnold had greater credibility or at least as much as Dr. Anderson's replacement (or any other like administrative replacement in the university). Mrs. Arnold cannot be forced out of the university. �6. Mrs. Emma Reynolds was forced out of EPIS (for whatever reasons) in such a manner that she is ineligible for unemployment benefits. A termina tion date, 4-6 weeks later would have avoided this personal tragedy. Mrs. Reynolds was no less efficient than the counsellors who left behind. The students gained more from her than some who have been left behind. Despite petitions there was no response to students' requests for reconsideration of her. Who will fall next by the "efficiency experts" hands? What redress do you have for those abused during this school year? Further: You have turned your head while: A Black Pyramid is created on this dampus — a veritable university within a university. This Black Pyramid relieves you and the unyielding racest faculties from having to truly integrate. Rather than integrate with minorities there has been a creation of a Black ghetto within the University system with its new assistants to imperialistic bureaucracies sanctioned and manipulated to manipulate us for the Administration. We have seen this strategy of contain ment before. We are being tricked into taking unjust orders because the messengers that bring them are of our own. We are not satisfied with the token placement of Black faces in either departments or administrative positions. Lines of communication do not flow upwards in the minority pyramid. Orders flow down through it from the white overlords. For these grievances we, the minority people, have cons tituted ourselves as our own committee on minority affairs ad vising you to address yourself to these problems. Knowing the tactic of "setting up an advisory commission to solve the crises among the natives;" we, the minority population at U.B. constituted ourselves as the Commission. �We have decided to offer the solutions: Administrative Structure 1. Minority Students Office: Set up a committee to review by the 15th of April, yearly, the compliance of each Faculty and department within the University to Office of Equal Opportunity guidelines. The committee should.be composed of minority faculty and students from the various segments of the university. This committee shall be established by the minority faculty and students and have four representatives on the Univer sity wide compliance (or affirmative action) body.(Describ ed under Office of Equal Opportunity, OEO) Restructuring of Minority Programs Into One Black Pyramid We feel minority programs are being structured into a segregationist concentration plan where the university appoints oversears under the guise of efficiency to remove the sizeable representation of minorities from the campus. This plantation, style operation is an evasion of integration. Minority admini strators are to be as accountable to the minority population on this campus as are the white faculty and students. White provosts, chairmen and representatives to the various structures of power are voted upon or at least move up in the structure through affirmation from their colleagues and cons tituency. However, the university insists on containing minorities by imposing "white approved" administrators upon the minority students and faculty. �As of this day: Minority Faculty by vote shall have determination on candidates for administrative positions in all parallel situations where white faculty vote for white administrators. Candidates for top administrative posts, who are brought in should be introduced to the minority faculty through at least two weeks advanced review of vitae. In interview ses sions conducted with the administration, the minority faculty will have 2/3 representatives and two students or be permit ted to hold an interview separately. An advisory decision will be sent to the President from the minority faculty of the minority student unions as a group advice after these inter views. Minority Student Welfare 1. Orientation Program Each year the Office of Minority Students Affairs with the minority student unions (PODER, BSU and Indian Students Associa tion) should have funds for a week long orientation program for in-coming minority students. (A) Here there should be an input from the University Placement Office to provide information on the long range predictions on job opportunities and to familia rize students with functioning of that office. This would have to be conducted by minority and a white officer from University Placement and a representa tive from Minority Student Affairs Office. The white officer should be of the senior staff in Placement who have facts to offer. �1. Orientation Program (cont’d.) (B) Through the Minority Student Affairs Office and Minority Students Associations, a series of work shops to familiarize students with the departments, their requirements, and the types of occupations possible for graduates in each area. Remediation Relatively uncomplicated, less expensive and above all, integrated remedial programs, which would be effective, could be implemented through key departments. 1. Remedial courses do not have to form a segregated block within the university as if only minorities need remediation. The Department of English should attach a component of minority faculty to give an intensive program in Grammer Comprehension (not Black literature) and speed reading. The student would be required to take these two courses if his reading level fell be low scores provided by a generally administered test for Blacks and whites. The University would be responsible for emphasising that this be a quality grammar and comprehension course. During that semester, students would be permitted to take one course less and have two-2 hour sessions every other day for a total of six class room hours per week. Students would be tested at the end of the semester and be allowed to repeat this course once without credit penalty. If remediation is found necessary in natural sciences, then mathematics and physical science departments s hould serve these functions in the manner that the English Department would do. We object to being set off as intellectually incapacitated. There are whites with disadvantaged backgrounds. �A Tenure Review Committee: for Minorities Such a committee shall be established with two minority representatives from the faculty within which minority candidate comes; two advisory minority representatives from outside the University of Buffalo who are established in the academic area of the candidate, and any tenured, minority member of the de partment from which the candidate comes.This be [The constituted group committee willinto send consultations with its vote to the President. If the departmental vote differs, then the Minority Tenure Committee shall meet with the Departments Committee, the President, and an officer from the Compliance Body discussed herein. If there is a grievance then it passes into the compliance office if not it return to the President for decision. Grievances A minority Grievance Board will be established through elections by minority faculty and students. They may hear separately minority grievances and will be represented at every proceeding by the main university Grievance Body. The list of members will change annually as elections should be held annually. There shall be a list of 12 members, [illegible] Blacks, 4 Puerto Ricans, [il egible] Indians, [the representation of each group to be determined in consultation with the Office of Equal Opportunity.] For each hearing there should be a body of six. There should be a representative from each group with one faculty and one student, wherever such faculty are available. At least two faculty should always be pre sent in the group of six. They may hear minority student grievances and faculty grievances. On faculty grievances Faculty representation should be at least 2/3 of the group vice-versa for stu dents. �The Faculty Senate The structure of the Faculty Senate demanding representa tives by intent or oversight excludes representation from [illegible] minority components. A minority faculty from each Faculty shall be present in the faculty Senate (specifically Blacks, Indians and Puerto Ricans) Curriculum Review Committees of Faculties Since Puerto Rican Studies and Black Studies Faculty are not justly represented on. these committees. We are stat ing that this is discriminatory. It allows traditional departments to vote on courses clearly duplicating the content of these Programs and also does not allow for supportive discussion for courses coming from these components. The university knew these faculty were not group to be [illegible] tenured when they were admitted. There fore, non-tenure is not justification. In any event under any circumstances the Curriculum Review Committees shall have a minority voice (i.e., Black, Puerto Rican and Indians). �University Services University Placement This office has been approached and have given the usually "liberal run-around." We need two minority placement officers as of this budget year who are experienced with the nature of job market. Housing If there is racial conflicts in the dorms, why has this been hidden from the public? A committee of minority students and Black faculty should be set up to investigate the problem and offer solutions. This committee should be among names submitted to you by the Black students and faculty. In the same manner that Search Committees are established. Beyond this we wish to have a written commitment from the university ensuring housing for minorities in the new university complex. Amherst Site The university is being asked to state in writing unequivo cally, where it plans to locate Black Studies, Puerto Rican Studies and EPIS on the new site. Black Studies Department include (A) African Studies in essentially white controlled turf. (B) will expand into a Caribbean Studies component. (C) will be allowed to develop an inter-disciplinary graduate program. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At that point, he knew a distinction needed to be made. Oliver, a senior business and internation al studies major, resigned as BSU president on Dec. 9, just five days after BSU’s execu tive board unanimously voted that he had not carried out the duties and responsibili ties as president, according to Oliver. Oliver spoke to The Spectrum about his resignation after delaying comment origi nally. Although the vote did not mean Oliver had to resign, he felt it was best. "A part of the resignation was that there were differences in strategies and approach es in how the organization] would pursue its goals,” he said. “But that’s the essence of student organizations. We’re all grow ing and learning. Unfortunately, I just don’t think my leadership in particular is what the executive board wanted.” In his letter of resignation, Oliver wrote, “I am not able to fathom this unfavorable evaluation, nor am I able to recollect a time when I was given adequate feedback, con structive criticism or an opportunity to im prove upon any areas of concern.” The BSU e-board denied comment re garding Oliver’s comments, but new Presi dent Deidree Golbuorne told The Spectrum last week that Oliver stepping down was an “internal change” that wouldn’t affect fu ture club events. Golbuorne has stepped into the role of president and Samirra Felix was elected vice president on Feb. 1. Oliver emphasized that although his res ignation is unfortunate, it is not the first time a student has decided to step down from an organization. Tiffany Vera, former BSU secretary, Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Micah Oliver, former Black Student Union president, stands in Jacobs Management Center. Oliver resigned from BSU on Dec. 9 after the executive board voted he did not carry out his duties as president. signed two days after Oliver. re In Vera’s letter of resignation, she wrote, “I am not confident that the organization will follow through with the progress and the level of professionalism that the former president [Oliver] personified.” Vera said she opened herself to direct criti cism with the e-board regarding her duties as secretary. Two out of the 13 e-board mem bers directly contacted her, but other than that, she said all she received was either “pas sive aggressive feedback or indirect contact.” Kevin Appiah-Kubi, BSU’s former his torian who resigned on Oct. 14 due to cir cumstances outside of BSU, said he was shocked when he heard news of Oliver and Vera’s resignations. “Micah was a respectable president and made the club have more visibility,” he said. Unlike Vera, Appiah-Kubi said he be lieves the new e-board has “everything un der control” and he has no hard feelings to ward any of the members. Oliver said he did not know the vice pres ident election would be held on Feb. 1. Al though he does not expect to be a part of the rearranging of the e-board, he said he wished he could have used the election as an opportunity to address his resignation to the general body. But Oliver is not completely done with BSU. He still plans on attending events and meetings as any other undergraduate student. “I’m a student like anyone else is a stu dent and this is a decision that I made for my academic career and I just ask that it be respected,” he said. BSU president hasn’t been the only job Oliver has taken on. He is also a community assistant in Cam pus Living, a UB 101 peer mentor and an un dergraduate research assistant in the commu nication department. He is also the Studentw ide Judiciary chief justice and formerly part of UB’s Division 1 track and field program. Oliver is also actively involved in the Of fice of the President and the Office of Eq uity, Diversion and Inclusion. “But my busy schedule has no effect on my resignation,” he said. “It didn’t deter me and it didn’t play a role in my final decision.” Beth Del Genio, chief of staff to the president, worked closely with Oliver in cre ating educational-based programs around equity, inclusion and diversity for the new general education requirements along with a College of Arts and Sciences policy re garding campus art installations. Continued On Page 2 �Oliver speaks on decision to step down as BSU president Continued From Page 1 “As a student leader, he was always well-pre pared for discussion and encouraged open-dia logue among university leadership and student leadership,” Del Genio said in an email. Oliver said he has always emphasized the importance of the members’ education in every e-board meeting. He also said some people might not realize how important his family is to him. “I pride myself in being a good brother and son, and last semester I lost myself in all of that,” he said. “I look forward to having more time to enjoy my family and friends beyond college and boardroom meetings.” Oliver said he’s appreciative of the re lationships he’s developed throughout his time as president. E-board members, UB faculty and staff have played a large role in handling last semester’s incidents — such as the “White Only” and “Black Only” signs, the open forum and the protest at President Satish Tripathi’s annual address. Vera said that despite her experience on the e-board, she has “immense amount of love and respect” for BSU. Oliver said he would challenge members to pursue the principle goals of the organization. “I hope that one day, black students across the country will choose to go to UB because they see how active BSU has been on this cam pus,” he said. “That would make me proud.” email: gabriela.julia@ubspectrum.com Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Oliver said he’s appreciative of the relationships he's made during his time as president and plans to attend BSU meetings and events as any other undergraduate student. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tori Roseman Senior Features Editor Micah Oliver has resigned from his position as Black Student Union (BSU) president. Deidree Golbourne, formerly BSU’s vice president, has stepped into the role of presi dent and on Monday night, BSU unanimous ly elected Samirra Felix as its new vice pres ident, causing a major shakeup in the execu tive board of the club with the largest budget in the Student Association. Oliver declined comment about why he left left his position, but did say he would eventually be open to speaking to The Spec trum. Golbourne, a junior history major, said the shakeup would not affect BSU’s plans for the semester, including events like Black Explosion and Black Ice. “It’s an internal change that won’t impact any events we’re holding,” Golbourne said. Oliver, a senior business major, and BSU were particularly active on campus last se mester after the “White Only” art project controversy. The organization held open forums to discuss the signs, issued a public statement, protested President Satish Tripa thi’s annual address and, along with other campus organizations, met with university leaders about a potential policy on display ing art in public spaces on campus. Toward the end of the last semester, Ol iver received what university officials called a racist and discriminatory letter, accus ing BSU and other organizations, like the NAACP, of being racist. Oliver told The Spec trum at that time that he’s made himself “in tentionally accessible for things like this be cause that has been BSU’s strategy for mak ing the progress that we have this semester.” Felix, sophomore geological sciences ma jor, ran unopposed in a closed election for vice president in which she was given time to make a speech and take questions from mem bers of the e-board and general body. SA Vice President Sean Kaczmarek said clubs have their own guidelines for han dling e-board elections and members re signing, and that the policy should be out lined in their constitutions. Felix previously served as activities chair for the organization and felt that she had what it takes to move up to vice president. “I have a thorough understanding of ev ery position on the e-board and I know that my team members need improvement as well where I need mine, and I believe that’s what makes me a great candidate for the vice president position,” Felix said. The e-board as a whole is confident in its ability to juggle the responsibilities that come with such a large organization. “We’re realistic as an executive board and remember that we’re students ourselves,” Golbourne said. Continued On Page 6 �BSU President Micah Oliver resigns Continued From Page 1 "We know that sometimes we need outside help and we want to strive to succeed as do other organizations. We lean on other orga nizations and they lean on us, I think that camaraderie is something that’s necessary between all of the organizations. Even with in our own organization we lean on each other. We don’t always agree, and that’s nec essary sometimes.” Golbourne didn’t want to speak much on Black Explosion, since BSU strategi cally releases information about the annu al culture and fashion show event over time to increase interest and excite the audience. The event has been in the works for many months involving multiple other organiza tions that put the event together. Historian Chynna Brown, a sophomore nursing major, is particularly excited about her posts for BSU for Black History Month. Every day of February, she will make three separate posts on all of BSU’s social media pages with information about black leaders, history and other interesting facts. Other events they plan to attend and host are leadership conferences in order to become more involved in the Buffalo community. The BSU holds general body meetings on Wednesdays at 5 P.M. in the Student Union. It works closely with other organizations in cluding the Caribbean Student Association and the African Student Association in or der to plan events. In addition to meetings, the group hosts regular events for both their members and the general student population. email: features@ubspectrum.com Tori Roseman, The Spectrum The e-board of BSU (from left to right: Jason Hamlet, Jalyssa Gordon, Randy Ollivierre, Deidree Golbourne, Leslie Veloz, Chynna Brown, Samirra Felix, James Battle, Alexandra Louigarde) prepares for the upcoming semester which is full of events for both general body members and the undergraduate population. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The letter uses racial slurs and accuses several organizations, like the NAACP and the Black Lives Matters movement, of be ing racist. Although UPD says the letter does not pose a direct threat to Oliver, it has run a number of assessments regard ing the text of the letter, fingerprints and the physical letter itself. And as a precau tion and per protocol, UB has shared the letter with the Federal Bureau of Investi (FBI). gation “The sending of the letter is not a crime under NYS [New York State] law,” said UB Spokesperson John Della Contrada in an email. “However, racist and discrimina tory behaviors or conduct have no place at the University at Buffalo and will not be tolerated.” The letter, though mailed to Oliver, ad dresses the University of Missouri board of trustees and was sent from an O’Fallon, Missouri address. The letter is signed with the name Richard Ganter, but UPD said it could not trace the letter back to that name. UPD has been in contact with University of Missouri Police and O’Fallon Police. Oliver and UPD believe this exact letter Kainan Guo, The Spectrum BSU President Micah Oliver received a letter Thursday containing racial slurs and accusing co/ored organizations of being racist. Oliver believes the letter is a result of the progress BSU has made on campus this semester.. was sent to numerous organizations be cause of the address that was used and er rors within the text. Oliver said the sender’s motive may have been to “shake up” BSU. “I’ve been very active in the public and with students, maybe on a level that most BSU presidents haven’t been,” Oliver said. Continued On Page 6 �UPD investigates ‘racist and discriminatory’ letter sent to BSU president Kainan Guo, The Spectrum Black Student Union members protest President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the University address in October. BSU President Micah Oliver believes the letter was sent to him and BSU in part because of the actions BSU has taken this semester in light of the "White Only" art project. Continued From Page 1 “So I’ve made myself intentionally acces sible for things like this because that has been BSU’s strategy for making the prog ress that we have this semester.” Since the “White Only” art project con troversy in September, BSU has held an open forum to discuss diversity on cam pus and the university’s policies regard ing the project, as well as a peaceful pro test at President Satish Tripathi’s annual State of the University address. The orga nization also staged a walkout in support of the black students at the University of Missouri after racial tension sparked pro tests there last month. “[BSU has] kind of set a new standard for student associations at this university,” Oliver said. “But what comes with embark ing on new territory are new challenges as well and that’s what we’re seeing.” The letter was originally sent to Capen Hall, as that was where it was addressed. It was then sent to the Student Association office because the letter was addressed to “Micah Oliver President Black Student As sociation.” Mark Sorel, SA administration director, opened the letter and called Oli ver to the office to explain the content of the letter. “I think it was responsible that they called me and told me they had opened the letter although my name was on it,” Oliver said. “I take no offense to that.” Oliver said he chose not to read the let ter Thursday and opened it Friday. According to Della Contrada, UPD was notified Thursday and started an investi gation immediately. Deputy Chief of Po lice Joshua Sticht and Investigator Timothy Thompson reached out to Oliver, who was given the case number that night to check the progress of the case at any time. Della Contrada said UB will respond promptly to protect the safety and well-be ing of the entire campus when “acts moti vated by hatred, discrimination or bias oc cur.” “Diversity, inclusion and mutual respect are strongly held values of our universi ty,” Della Contrada said. “We are commit ted to upholding these values at all times so that everyone in the UB community can study, teach, work and conduct research in an environment free of discrimination and bias.” Oliver said his next step after reading the letter was to “be transparent” with the general student body. He said it felt right to share the letter and it was not an effort to “be progressive” or receive any person al satisfaction. BSU posted the letter on social media and people immediately responded and reached out to Oliver concerned for his safety. But Oliver said he’s never felt unsafe at UB and has never felt the need to request special accommodations. He said UPD and SA’s first concern was his safety when the letter was brought to their attention. “I have been comfortable and I’ve felt very normal through this experience,” Ol iver said. “And I hope it’s not because I’ve become desensitized to these things but because I am confident in my safety on this campus.” He said that when speaking to other news outlets across the country regarding the letter, he realized there are other or ganizations similar to BSU that received a similar letter. Oliver said he wants all students who want to feel welcomed and included at UB, to recognize that this letter is a “societal re sponse” to the work BSU and other stu dents on campus have done to create an in clusive environment. email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU posted a request on social media for students to wear all black and join them in a walkout at 3 P.M. Thursday. After the walkout, approximately 60 students stood in front of the Student Union to have a dis cussion about the racial incidents that oc curred recently at the University of Mis souri. Deidree Golbourne, BSU vice president and a junior African American studies major, addressed the group by saying how proud she was with the amount of students who stood out in the rain to show their support. “Solidarity is necessary,” Golbourne said to the students who were huddled under umbrellas. The University of Missouri’s president, Tim Wolfe, stepped down earlier this week. Members of the group Concerned Stu dent 1950 pushed for Wolfe’s resignation, saying he did not properly handle the racist acts that were occurring on the campus, like black students being called the N-word and a swastika being drawn on residence halls. Graduate student Jordan Butler, a mem ber of Concerned Student 1950, went on a hunger strike stating he would not eat until Wolfe resigned. Member of the university’s football team also said they would not play their sched uled game against BYU - which would have resulted in a forfeit and cost the school at least $1 million in fines - until Wolfe an nounced his resignation as university pres ident. “We don’t know the people at the Univer sity of Missouri but we know their pain,” Golbourne said. UB has been dealing with its own ques tions about race this semester after graduate fine arts student Ashley Powell hung signs around campus reading “White Only” and “Black Only.” BSU and other student orga nizations have been waiting for an official university response and possible new poli cy concerning the project since September. UB students are just a few of the many students showing their support for the Mis souri students. Smith College, located in Massachusetts, had about 100 students demonstrate to show solidarity for both the University of Missouri and Ithaca College. On Wednesday, students at Ithaca College demanded their school’s president, Tom Rochon, re signs after his lack of response to racial in sensitivity on campus. Yale University is also experiencing ra cial tension after the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity allegedly did not allow black stu dents into a party on Halloween. A student reported hearing a member of the fraternity say “white girls only.” The fraternity denies the incident occurred. A 19-year-old Northwest Missouri student was charged Wednesday for posts he made on Yik Yak threatening to shoot black stu dents on University of Missouri’s campus. Last week, during BSU’s Black Solidarity Day, several racist posts were made on the social media app Yik Yak, an app that al lows anonymous posts and is filtered based on location. Golbourne said the posts were not sur prising because racism is an issue students deal with at UB. Golbourne and other members of the BSU said the main takeaway the organization Gabriela Julia, The Spectrum Students wear all black and stand in the rain outside the Student Union Thursday afternoon to show support for the black students facing racial tension at the University of Missouri. wants is for students to form a sense of solidarity. One member encouraged the group to say hello to one another when they pass each other in the halls on campus, even if they do not know one another personally. During the demonstration, Golbourne said BSU is like a family and it gives stu dents an opportunity for their voices to be heard. “This is your home away from home,” she said to the group. “Just know we are here for you ... We are your brothers. We are your sisters.” email: news@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

And that’s not the only support the gradu ate fine arts student has received from UB’s Department of Arts, whose faculty say the controversial work is exactly what art is sup posed to be: provocative. But student leaders and even some UB offi cials tell a different story: That Powell’s work was traumatizing and the university must cre ate a policy so students know what is accept able art and what crosses the line. Nearly two months after the incident in which Powell hung signs reading “White Only” and “Black Only” around campus bathrooms, benches and water fountains for a class project, tensions and discussions are still resonating across the UB community. Some students, especially leaders of the Black Student Union (BSU), are calling for repercussions against Powell and the arts partment as well as for UB to create a pol de icy on public art. The arts department has been in full support of Powell and her work. UB administration, caught between the two groups, is trying to find some sort of balance with a policy that would set clear guidelines on expressive art. But now, months after Powell hung the signs, UB administration and the arts depart ment have yet to announce a decision about future policies or officially answer the ques tions Powell’s project raised. What is the line between creative freedom for artists and the rights of minorities on campus? Did Powell’s project cross that line — as some students believe - or did it not? Can students post anything they want in the public space of a university regardless of the hurt it causes others or the historical weight of words and symbols? A policy committee in the College of Arts and Sciences is still reviewing the incident as leaders from the UB administration, the arts department and student organizations plan to meet again this month. But with students de manding answers, pressure is mounting for the university to take an official stance. Leaders on all sides remain far apart in how they view Powell’s project. Jonathan Katz, the arts department chair, says despite the publicity and ongoing frus tration among students — particularly Art isn't something that is supposed to make everyone feel great or always make people feel happy - ifyou can make someone feel uncomfortable, ifyou can make people think about something after looking at your piece, then you did a good thing. Ashley Powell There must be a policy on the campus. The arts department can come up with a policy that ifyou are doing any kind of experiment, you register yourself with the art department. President Satish Tripathi Regardless of what school it is, that department needs to be responsible because of the fallout and because of the negative impact - the horrible impact - it made on students and on this campus, on a whole. BSU President Micah Oliver mem of BSU — there is no need for the arts bers department to release a public statement because “an art department stands for the freedom of expression.” That alone, he said, should be under stood as the “official” response of the arts department. “We want our students to take positions that are at the far edge of what is consid ered the social norm,” he said. Katz said he wasn’t surprised by the stu dent reaction to the project, but that many in the arts department faculty were “in credulous that people don’t understand that this work is anti-racist.” He said he’s “shocked” to see what he considers a lack of understanding about what art is. “I think, frankly, [the project] became a cause celeb for a range of real, genuine social and cultural unrests around racism in Ameri ca, not least, Black Lives Matter — all of which fed the work in the first place,” Katz said. Katz, who also heads the fine arts Ph.D program, said the incendiary reaction to the project was natural because it’s what the work was trying to accomplish in the first place. Katz said he has received furious emails from black students, as well as furi ous emails from racists claiming the project was race-baiting and creating a race war. “You have black students saying this hurt me, and you’ve got racists saying this hurt me,” Katz said. “That ought to tell you this is doing the right thing.” Powell, who is black and was trying to show her own suffering from racism and create a discussion with the signs, said that if it weren’t for the overwhelming support from the arts faculty, she would have buckled under the an ger she faced from the UB community. “All of them supported me, they were emailing me: ‘This is what great art does,’ ‘This is the purpose of art, don’t back down,”’ she said. “Art isn’t something that is supposed to make everyone feel great or always make people feel happy — if you can make someone feel uncomfortable, if you can make people think about some thing after looking at your piece, then you did a good thing.” Powell did the project for her Installa tion in Urban Spaces class. Warren Quigley, the professor of the class, declined to speak with The Spectrum for this story and he has not commented publicly about the project or the class since the controversy began.

That ought to tell you this is doing the right thing. Jonathan Katz, Chair Of The Arts Department Kainan Guo, The Spectrum BSU President Micah Oliver, who demands UB take a stance on the project, speaks at an open forum about the issue in September. Continued From Page 1 Katz said he reached out to Powell im mediately when students voiced strong feel ings about the project and has met with her several times since. Even faculty mem bers from other departments have support ed Powell. Ana Grujic, an instructor in the composition program run through the Eng lish department, helped Powell write her of ficial project statement. President Satish Tripathi, in a sit down in terview with The Spectrum last week, said UB needs a policy concerning works of art in public places - and that art projects need to be labeled as such. “Arts are going to be controversial,” he said. “But when it’s put on the wall, one should say that this is art. So there must be a policy on the campus. The arts department can come up with a policy that if you are doing any kind of experiment, you register yourself with the art department.” Tripathi has faced continued pressure from BSU for UB to create a policy. BSU protested Tripathi’s annual address last month, demanding answers about the proj ect. The student organization has also held meetings with university leaders. BSU has asked the university to create a clear policy for future art projects, as well as reprimand Powell and the arts department. Tripathi said UB cannot punish Powell because she did not break any rule in the Student Code of Conduct. BSU President Micah Oliver said that the university and the arts department should show more responsibility for their students. “As an individual, I think the art depart ment should be held accountable because the implications of the project were under the art department’s watch,” he said. “Re gardless of what school it is, that depart ment needs to be responsible because of the fallout and because of the negative im pact — the horrible impact — it made on stu dents and on this campus, on a whole.” Oliver, who is also the chief justice of the Student-Wide Judiciary, said the most dis appointing thing about the university re sponse to the “White Only, Black Only” project was that “the institution that I love has done something to me in a very nega tive way.” “The art department is a part of UB and I love UB. The most disappointing part of the university not responding is that I thought better of the university itself,” Ol iver said. Oliver said the responsibility ultimate ly comes down to the arts department that oversees students’ works of art, like Pow ell’s. “This happened under a university-sanc tioned curriculum,” Oliver said. “And for that reason, the department that houses, produces and ensures that the curriculum is taught and experienced by students must be responsible, ultimately.” Powell, caught in a place of student-driv en anger and faculty support, is just trying to maintain her own vision. As an artist, Powell said having a set goal — upending racism in society — is the most inspirational and important part of keeping her sane and keeping her driven. Powell said the A’ on her “White Only, Black Only” project didn’t really matter to her. For her, the main indicator of success isn’t the amount of negative feedback she is receiving, rather the discussion about race she has created and the support from the arts faculty she has received. According to Katz, a meeting between Katz, Tripathi and Oliver to create an offi cial statement and perhaps a new policy on public art is set for sometime in mid-No vember. email: arts@ubspectrum.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Reese Spectrum Staff Writer There has been a changing of the guard in the Black Student Union leadership. The results of the Black Stu dent Union election for next year’s executive board members were released last Friday. The winners of the executive board seats are sophomore Lepo ra Floumory as President, junior Arnold Wadley (current presi dent) as Vice President, sopho more Roderigo Honeywell as Treasurer, junior Garrett Willis as Activities Coordinator, and fresh man Cassandra Francique as Sec retary. At a BSU meeting last Wednesday, the candidates deliv ered very impressive campaign speeches. Wadley quoted from the citi zen’s pledge of Athens, Greece in his speech. He said what he felt was his (as well as the rest of the new executives’) duty as Vice President “...to seek ...to trans mit...the [organization] better if not greater than what was trans mitted to us...” Flournory commented that her main goal for next year is to increase “unity among organiza tions,” specifically the Caribbean Student Association, PODER, Asian American Student Union, Native American People’s Alliance, and the Hatian and African Student Association. Other members of the execu tive board echoed concerns about student unity. Francique said she wants “African students on this campus to be more aware of their culture and heritage...to have more unity.” Inside... see profile of BSU’s new president, page 3 �Flournory named BSU President First female president since 1986 president, she replied, “I plan to accomplish a lot of things. To name a few, I would like to expand the Scholarship Program that I started into a ‘Big SisterLittle Sister’ program with Kensington High School. Kensington is known as having the worst reputation out of all the Buffalo high schools. I feel that the Black Student Union can, in this situation, serve as role models and encourage more students to attend college.” Flournory said she hopes to start an Annual African-Core Alliance Conference. “This Conference will consist of African Organi zations all over the region,” she explained. “Not Renwick P. Feagin Spectrum Staff Writer Not since 1986, when Cassandra Chase was in office, has there been a female President of Black Student Union. This trend has changed with the newly elected Lepora Flournory. When asked how she feels about her new position, Flournory replied, “I feel relatively the same. I have always been an active participant in the Black Stu dent Union. This position simply gives me a greater opportunity to help stimulate the empowerment of blakc students here at UB.” As BSU Activ ities Coordinator, Lepora Flournory helped co-ordi nate the High School Scholar ship Program and Campfire Mentor Day. Flournory explained, “The idea is to serve as a vehicle for the community chil dren, to give them a positive atmosphere and positive role models for the influence of posi Lepora Flournory tive goals.” She also worked on Project Pride and guest lec tures like Amiri Baraka, Sister Souljah and Lenora Fulani. Prosperous future Regarding her new position, Flournory said, “Dur ing my freshman year in 1991, I was very interested in introducing new ideas to the organization. I would also like to add structural improvements which affects the overall production of the organiza tion.” When Flournory was asked to comment on the fact that she will be “First Lady of BSU,” Flournory replied, “Yes, the active male members of the Black Student Union are very egalitarian. I have only received total encouragement and support from them.” Robert Roache, BSU Executive Board Chairman, said, “BSU will have probably the best year it has had in a long time,” and added, “Lepora has been the head of a lot of activities that we’ve had in the past year and I think the change would be good for BSU.” BSU as role model “I can see the Black Student Union moving towards a greater political level, as well as being an even louder voice on campus,” Flournory said. When asked what she planned to accomplish as Br a d Edwar d s T h "BSU will have probably the best year it has had in a long time. Lepora has been the head of a lot of activities that we’ve had in the past year and I think the change would be good for BSU." Robert Roache BSU Executive Board Chairman e Spectrum only will it encourage unity nationally, but also locally.” “Above all of my goals, I would like to increase the support of the student body,” Flournory said. “Without them nothing could be accomplished.” BSU members’ reactions Ramses Duvivier, present vice president of BSU, said, “Lepora has two years experience as an active member of the Executive Board of BSU. Flournory has all the qualifications and the skills necessary to help BSU prosper in the future.” He added, “I have worked along side of her and I’ve seen her experience grow. I believe that her motivation is an asset to our organization.” Asiyah Grant said, “I feel that it’s about damn time. Finally, a woman president that will do all that the Black Student Union should be doing,” and added, “You go girl!” Miari Roberts, assistant activities coordinator, said, “I feel that Lepora Flournory is a very strong black woman with excellent workable ideas for both the black community and BSU.” Roberts also said, “Over the next year, I know that she will propel that club to a higher level.” BSU member Keasha Broderick said he believes the BSU is heading in a positive direction. He said, “Our newly elected President is a strong black woman who goes out her way to keep her promis es.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU’s ‘College Day’ gives youngsters a crash course in University 101 Dinah M. Reese Spectrum Staff Writer The Black Student Union spon sored its first annual “College Day” last Tuesday. Children from a Campfire orga nization participated in the event. They went on a tour of UB’s North Campus and attended per formances and a luncheon. This group of about 15 youngsters had never been to a college campus before. After their tour, the Campfire kids went to a luncheon and talked with UB students about college life. BSU Extended Executive Board Chair Robert Roache said, “Right now the kids are so impressionable that expo sure to college life might make them want to attend.” Phi Beta Sigma and Kappa Alpha Psi fraternities, the African Dance Troupe, drummers from the African Cultural Center and the UB Gospel Choir provided entertainment for the youngsters, as well as a crowd of nearly 100 onlookers in the Student Union lobby. The children really enjoyed the entertainment. Seven-year-old Tasha Smith, a second grader at #17 school, said, “The African dancers were the best, and I want to learn to dance like that.” The African Dance Troupe was accompanied by drummers from the African Cultural Center. Their performance was very impressive and was appreciated by the whole crowd. Other children really liked the campus. Jino Myles, a third grader at St. Joseph’s Elemen tary School, said, “I liked the tour. We saw the libraries, the gym, and I really liked the com puters.” Milosan Peete, a Campfire organizer, said, “I hoped to give the children new experiences and encouragement through Campfire experiences.” Friday April 2, 1993 ♦ TheSpectrum 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU journeys back to ‘Motherland’ Fashion, cultural show enraptures sold-out crowd Everiste Ambris Spectrum Staff Reporter Theatrical performance and entertainment was in high gear at the Katharine Cornell Theatre Sunday night for the Black Stu dents Union’s annual cultural and fashion show. This year’s theme, “A Journey from the Motherland,” gathered black talents from UB and as far as Rochester, where a young group of five males engaged in an a cappella from Boyz 2 Men. They had the crowd screaming for more. Ramona Gore, who has hosted many of the BSU’s cultural events for years, did an excep tional job in this year’s show. The UB Gospel Choir’s introduc tion song was the Negro National Anthem, composed by James Weldon Johnson. Exploding audience Jazz, another remnant of African American culture, per vaded the theater, as the Cats of the Johnson Family Quartet played for the capacity crowd. The Cats accompanied Amber Singletary as she sang, “My funny Valentine.” Marcia Wright followed with “Casanova Brown.” Members of the audience exploded joyously as a “blast from the past” was featured. Sev enties’ fashions and dance were featured. Students in this troupe recaptured memories in their “funky” dance and dress, with three-piece suits, a pair of flaredoff bell bottom pants, platform shoes and Afro wigs - for the guys. Ladies wore a polyester bell bottom jump suits with “ele vator” shoes. “BSU, even though it has gone through turmoil this semester concerning the president resign ing, has shown us that without leadership they can come together and make a beautiful, extravagant show,” said audience member Carlisle Prochet. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Uhuru Muza and Changa Lumumba, members of the All­ African People’s Revolutionary Party, Brother Donald Mohammed of the Nation of Islam and Sabir Rasheed of the Propagation of Islam led a two and a half hour discussion of who killed Malcolm X and why. Possible ‘threat’? The panelists expressed the belief that the Central Intelligence Agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation perceived Mal colm as a “threat” because he sought to unify and organize all African people around the world, similar to the plans of Marcus Garvey and Nat Turner. The panel explained that the Islamic religion brought changes to people’s lives rapidly through out the world, and some thought that America was not ready for this transformation. Lumumba called attention to “a conscious and deliberate plan to infiltrate black organizations and destroy black leadership” imple mented by the U.S. government. According to Mohammed, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Black Panther Party and Mal colm were all targets of this destruction by the FBI and the CIA. Muza added that Malcolm had traveled to African countries such as Ghana, Guinea and Tansania and to Mecca, where he convert ed to Orthodox Islam; thus, the U.S. government was making an effort to prevent the unity between Africans in Africa and those Africans in America. Call for unity “Although it is important to find out who killed Malcolm X, if we loved Malcolm X we should not look for revenge but try and continue what people like Mal colm X and the honorable Marcus Garvey were trying to do, which was to come together in way of organization and unity,” Muza said. “We are the minority in Ameri ca,” he continued, “but the major ity in the world. We need to des perately make a contribution to the masses of the people, get organized as African people and unite under one organization. Whether Afro-American or AfroCaribbean, we are all Africans.” “The death of Malcolm X is something that America is con fused about,” graduate student Hanif Khalak said. “Understand ing who killed him and why can make clear what the sources of racism and injustice are. The fact that both the FBI, CIA and the Nation of Islam were involved demonstrates that this system dri ves racist violence, and the Nation of Islam was not a solution to this violence, but a tool used.” The forum was sponsored by the Black Student Union. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cultural Affairs Editor Pledging to make the Black Student Union more politically Muje aware and to balance the social with the academic, UB Junior Arnold Wadley won a surprise landslide victory last Wednesday. b Wadley captured about 87 per cent of the votes cast, according to Election and Credentials Com Muqtadi r mittee Chairperson Rochelle Th Jackson. The election was necessary e after the former BSU president, Spectrum James Minter, resigned late last fall citing “personal circum stances” as the reason. Ramses Duvivier was acting president up to Wednesday’s elec tion, but according to the BSU constitution, a new election is needed if any member of the exec utive board resigns. Wadley, an Urban Studies major from Queens, New York, edged out the two other candidates for the position. BSU currently has one of the largest budgets of all Student Association clubs, and the BSU president holds one of the most powerful positions on campus. Wadley, who seems very enthusiastic about his new chal lenge, said, “I want to extend BSU further into the community.” Recently, BSU has come under Arnold Wadley criticism from some white stu dents on campus calling for a White Student Union. When asked if he thinks BSU should be open to white students, Wadley responded very diplomatically that BSU is open to all. “All clubs should be open to every student, and all students are welcome at BSU once they are committed to BSU’s agenda...we welcome any help and any new talent.” The new student leader insisted that “BSU will maintain our clearly specific goals, and I don’t see inclusion affecting them.” High praise “I have known Arnold for a long time now and have full con fidence in his leadership ability,” said Carlos Fletcher, secretary of UB’s National Society of Black Engineers. “I know he will do a superb job.” Maggalie Voltaire, former Caribbean Student Association vice president, echoed similar sentiments. “I feel confident in the new president because he seems very eager, and from my understanding, he is an organized person.” Minter praised the incoming president by saying “he is com mitted and has an acute under standing of the cause of people of color on this campus.” Minter, who was well-respect ed among other student leaders during his term as president, added, “Arnold will have no problem gaining the respect from BSU members.” Robert Roache, the chair of BSU’s extended executive board, agreed with Minter and said, “Arnold has been very active on the executive board, and his elec tion as our president will make for a smooth transition...the exec utive board shares the response of other students...we have deep respect and confidence in Mr. Wadley.” BSU is involved in a variety of diverse projects and is currently busy with a number of Black History Month activities.

The UB delegation was comprised of about 15 students, headed by Black Student Union President James Minter. The weekend in Atlanta had its controversy after the Mayor May nard Jackson sent a letter to the Nation of Islam leader Louis Far rakhan to welcome him to the city of Atlanta. The Jewish communi ty has long considered Farrakhan anti-Jewish, but Farrakhan has denied that charge. Stuart Lewengrub, regional director of the Anti-Defamation League, said one of the demands the League has before it can sit down and talk with the Nation of Islam is for “The Nation and Louis Farrakhan to repudiate and recant their numerous expressions of hostility towards Jews.” Leonard Farrakhan Muham mad, chief of staff of the Nation of Islam, denied that Louis Far rakhan is anti-Jewish and said the Nation of Islam has suffered insults from Jewish leaders who have compared the group to the Ku Klux Klan. While the media and many critics continue to charge that the religious leader is anti-Jewish and racist, his follow ers say much of the good they do under his leadership goes unno ticed. Involved in diverse projects National officials said Far rakhan and his congregation are involved in a variety of endeavors primarily aimed at making blacks economically, socially, politically and spiritually self-sufficient. Examples of several diverse pro jects include: security patrols in drug-ravaged neighborhoods in major cities, including Buffalo, a publishing network that includes books and The Final Call news paper, an international office and representative based in Ghana, West Africa, and small business "America contin ues to practice white superiority, racism, sexism and has lost her morals." Louis Farrakhan Nation of Islam ventures, day care centers, a line of personal and health-care prod ucts, videos on every thing from Malcolm X to Farrakhan speech es and Muhammad University of Islam in Chicago. Last month, the Los Angeles Police Commission awarded the Nation of Islam a contract to patrol 15 federally subsidized apartment buildings in Oakwood, California. Two years ago, the Washington City Council cited the Nation of Islam for inspiring a successful anti-drug effort there. A torchlight for America In his nearly two hour long speech on Sunday at the Georgia Dome, Farrakhan asserted that “America is on her death bed and is crying for desperate help.” Before an estimated crowd of 70,000, he claimed that America “continues to practice white supe riority, racism, sexism and has lost her morals...and if we don’t change, we will fall like all other great nations have.” He insisted “that Bush, Clinton and Perot do not care about poor people in this country, and blacks are always the ones to suffer first.” He urged African Ameri cans to heed his message of self help, self-esteem and liberation. Tricia Kerney, a student on the trip, said that he was “very educa tional and informative, and I dis miss anyone who thinks he is anti-semitic.” Student Lasondra Statham said that “his speech was strong and positive...and even though I don’t agree with him in all his beliefs, I found his speech to be a great learning experience.” Nation of Islam beliefs The nation of Islam should not be confused with the orthodox Muslim community headed by national Islamic leader Warith Deen Muhammad, the son of Eli jah Muhammad. Both groups were part of the original Nation of Islam, founded in 1930 as a black separatist organization, but a schism occurred after Elijah Muhammad’s death in 1975. The Nation of Islam believes in God, who followers refer to as Allah. It holds that the essential truth of the Bible has been tam pered with and must be re-inter preted. It holds that the so-called ‘Negroes’ are most in need of mental resurrection; therefore, they will be resurrected first, and they are the chosen people of God. It holds that black women should be respected and protect ed. It holds that those who declare themselves to be right eous Muslims should not partici pate in war. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Topics addressed included what could be done in the event of police brutality or harassment, and how students could counteract police brutality by taking political, legal and community measures. Distinguished panelists includ ed Ted Kirkland of The Chal lenger, Donald Muhammed from the nation of Islam and Lieu tenant McCarthy Gipson from the Buffalo Police Department. In their presentations, the pan elists reminded the students that as African Americans, they have to always expect that white and black officers will treat them dif ferently. Muhammed advised students of color to always avoid conflict with police. He urged students to try and be polite and respect authority and that maintaining this respect could go a long way in defusing situations. File a report One audience member suggest ed that everyday in Buffalo, there is a “Rodney King-like situation, but we never hear about it.” Most students present com plained that they are constantly stopped by the police for no rea son. Many said they are harassed on a daily basis. Gipson advised students to go down to the police precinct and file reports if they feel that they are victims of brutality and/or unwarranted harassment. Kirk land urged students to be aware of their rights and to apply pres sure on local elected officials to, in his words, “help bring justice and equality for all victims of police brutality.” ‘Racism’ in uniform Many of the students expressed what they have seen as a pattern of racism in the police department. They said they do not trust the ‘men in blue,’; instead they feel “threatened” and “intimidated.” Keeanga Talya, a UB student who attended the forum, said, “The cops and courts are instru ments of the racist class oppres sion and the blame should not be put on the backs of black students to act polite...even if you act polite and do the right thing, they will still mess with you.” In response, Kirkland said he was simply trying to give advice on how to deal with a racist soci ety, and he admitted that both the police and the students must play an equal role in respecting one another. Rodney King: a symbol Students and members of the panel asserted that the image of a ‘lynch mob in blue uniforms’ tor turing a black man lying helpless on the ground has become the symbol of racist police brutality in America. BSU President James Minter said, “The best thing we can do is use the law and avoid situations where the cops will have reasons to harass us.” When asked what blacks should do if that fails, Minter suggested, “We protect ourselves by whatever means necessary.” Muhammed reminded students that there are more black males in jail than in college, and told them “you here have a responsibility to work hard and uplift your people and stop blaming every one else for your problems.” Another student, Andrew Campbell, complained that every time he has a party at his house, the cops come and break it up. Campbell said at times “they [police] use racial slurs and treat students of color as if they are second class citizens.” Once again, use of the legal system was encouraged and con sidered the best combatant to harassment and brutality. “Racist cop atrocities occur all the time,” Gipson said. “The problem is how we deal with it.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU sponsors Project Pride Fair Iqbal Afzal Spectrum Staff Writer The Black Student Union, in conjunction with several organiza tions, held its first annual Project Pride Fair this past Saturday on East Utica Street in the heart of Buffalo. The Fair lasted from noon to 5 P.M. with around 120 people attending the function. “Its purpose was to reach out to the community, especially to the kids,” says Ramone Gore, the trea surer of the B.S.U. and organizer of the event. The Fair began at noon with a block clean-up, then there were a variety of contests and events for the young children of the neighbor hood. There was a pony ride, an ice-cream eating contest, double dutch contest, a water balloon toss, a twister tournament, and food and drinks. “It makes me feel good that the children enjoy what the B.S.U. is trying to do,” Gore said. Fair to instill pride The B.S.U., in conjunction with the African-American Cultural Center, Phi Beta Sigma, Sigma Gamma Rho, Omega Psi Phi, and the McDonald’s corporation, worked to make this Fair an annual event to instill pride in the neigh borhood and to show the young kids that there is an active and caring B.S.U. on a predominantly while campus like UB, according to B.S.U members. The B.S.U. went from door to door to talk to parents and get them involved with the Fair, according to James (Minter) X, president of the B.S.U. The Fair organizers said that they also wanted to instill a sense of community activism in the 75-100 children who attended. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Spectrum Staff Writer Student Association Senators were braced for conflict at a March 4th meeting as angry BSU (Black Stu dent Union) members threatened protest The BSU members were reacting to the discovery of a budget proposal that would decrease their funding by $3500 next fall. The BSU found out about the proposed cut after members saw a copy of the proposed budget earlier in the day. SA Treasurer Jennifer. Bucklin said the Senate Finance Committee had spent the entire week putting in long hours to get the budget proposal ready in time for the Senate meeting on March 4th. The proposed budget, completed only that morning, was due to go before the Senate for a vote. Due to the unexpected presence of the BSU members, the Senate decided to put the budget vote off until all clubs could have the same opportunity to review the changes in their own proposed budgets. “Weare not playing favorites. We will delay the vote until all clubs have been given an equal chance to sec their proposed budgets,” Bucklin said. “Letters will be sent to each club, informing them of what their Spectru The Senate listened briefly to the complaints of the BSU, but decided that budget matters should not be discussed at the meeting. The deci sion was made after members of the Senate said that the BSU would be gaining an unfair advantage in voicing their concerns over the pro posed budget while no other groups had any knowledge of the proposed budget The BSU students at the meeting said they were unhappy with the Senate’s decision to end all discus sion about the proposed budget m Andrea Schiafino Frustration over cuts “The understanding I got is that the Senators are here to meet the needs of the students,” one BSU member stated. “I come here today for the BSU. We are very frustrated about the budget The amount of black students has gone up, not de creased, we need more money, not less,” she added. According to Bucklin, the deci sions behind the proposed budget were due to factors involving both the individual clubs’ performance and also the future prospected bud get of SA. The finance committee, made up of eight senators and Bucklin, holds Senators tried to finalize the budget at a March 4 Student Association Senate meeting. hearings before the budget proposal is made. Gubs are encouraged to attend a hearing to plead their case. At the hearing, a club can request a level of funding and explain to the finance committee why they deserve it. “The finance committee looks at how active a club is, what kind of events it sponsors and its level of organization,” Bucklin said. Bucklin explained that there are six types of clubs, each with a council chair whose job it is to keep lines of communication open between the clubs and SA. Gubs should be hold ing regular meetings with their see Budget pg. 11 �Budget: BSU actual cut only $1500 frompage 1 council chair so that they in turn can inform SA of each club’s needs. The finance committee uses the input from the council chairs and the ledgers from the club’s present and past years to deter mine the level of funding the club deserves. BSU $1500 budget cut According to Bucklin, although the BSU’s budget is proposed to be cut from $26,000 to $22,500, their actual operating budget is only to be decreased by $1500. The remaining $2000 cut will be from the elimination of BSU’s co-sponsorship line. This line included money that was set aside in the budget, to be given out to other clubs for co-sponsored events. “All other clubs must co sponsor events using their own money,” Bucklin said. Bucklin explained that more money was going to be made avail able to the club coordinators that advise the clubs. This money is used by the coordinators to give back to clubs that express a need. She added that when determin ing the amount a club deserves, the committee looks at the club’s contributions to the university and the community as a whole. “You can tell just by looking at a ledger, whether or not a club has been active or if they have shut themselves off,” Bucklin said. Each club is rated on how well it works within the university, how it fosters good community relations and what it does for the university as a whole. “While it’s important that a club foster good relations with the com munity, it’s more important to [be active] in the university,” Bucklin said. Bucklin explained that while the BSU has done much within thecommunity, it should do more on campus so that its events are more accessible to the university population. “The proposed amount of PODER and the BSU was more money than a whole category of clubs combined,” Bucklin ex plained, “more money than all forty academic interest clubs.” The finance committee also looks at the amount of money a club fund raises on its own, Bucklin explained. “The BSU has done no fund raising, while some clubs have raised many times their operating budget,” she said. “Ifwe increase a club’s funding this year, we can at least maintain that level of funding next year. Chances are that money won’t be around next year.” According to Bucklin the uni versity is expecting a steady de crease in undergraduates in the next few years. Fewer under graduates equals less money that SA has available to give out to clubs. Clubs that need money may request additional funding from their council chair. All clubs should be receiving a letter explaining their new bud gets. Bucklin suggested that any clubs with questions should seek the help of their coordinator. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU: new enthusiasm in ’89 "Youth movement" brightens future Ian Aronson Spectrum Staff Reporter Officers of the Black Student Union arc predicting change for the organization. Diversity, enthusiasm and an influx of younger members arc bringing change to both the organi zation and the University, accord ing to BSU President Sha-King Alston and Vice President Umar Adeyola. Increased minority participation in the UB political and administra tive system is an important BSU goal, Adeyola and Alston said. “The reason we have a Black Stu dent Union is because the repre sentation that we have on campus does not address our needs,” Alston said. Adeyola concurred, saying, “without politics we have no say in what goes on.” He added that to have a greater voice on campus, more minorities need to get volved in the student government. in Surge of young students Increased participation from the freshman and sophomore classes is reshaping the BSU, he continued. “I’m not saying that the juniors and seniors have died out, but there needs to be a new surge to boost things, and that’s the way things are going now.” Alston spoke of “students com ing in from diverse areas of New York City, the state, even from other countries that come by the office every day with new ideas (and) wanting to implement new pro grams.” This, he explained, con tributes “energy and enthusiasm that’s necessary to help our organi zation.” Alston added, “If this is a Uni versity where we all come together to learn, then we should all be aware of other people. Our purpose is to go out and try to teach others about our culture.” BSU activities To do this, the BSU sponsors various activities on and around campus. These programs include Black History Month, a Kwanza program, and a children’s Hallow een party. Alston noted that BSU programs arc not only for black people. He discussed the annual dialogue held between BSU and the Jewish Student Union and mentioned plans to establish pro grams with the Women’s Caucus Coalition. Adeyola is seeking an expansion of the organization’s programs into the greater-Buffalocommunity. He described plans for an outreach program, involving tutorials for local young people, and explained the need to reach youths of all eth nic groups. “I am not speaking on an Afri can-American level, he said, “but I am speaking on an American level. Our youths are the people that are going to bring things together.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The focus of the rap session was to examine and discuss the roles and dilemmas African-Americans are currently facing in the War with Iraq. Henry Taylor, a UB professor in the American Studies Department, began with a historical background of African-American roles in past United States military conflicts. Taylor cited the participation of African-Americans in both the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Thesignificanceof these conflicts and all others, he explained, is that they were fought in vain for the African-American way of life. Importance? “The idea in both of those in stances, the Revolutionary and Civil Wars, was that participation would somehow yield a higher standard of life for African-American people,” Taylor explained. “What hap pened? After the Revolutionary War instead of being free, the sys tem of slavery flourished.” According to Taylor, following the Civil War the United States government turned the South over to a “bunch of traitors.” “I say a bunch of traitors because what else can you call a bunch of people who try to over-throw your government? As a result of those policies African-Americans were virtually re-inslaved. There has never been a war in which Blacks participated that they have derived a single solitary benefit.” “What happens after the war is over?” Taylor asked. “Conditions for African-Americans worsened dramatically. “There is no reason AfricanAmericans should support that war (Persian Gulf),” he said. “We as a people should define our interests in ways that arc based on what is important for our people.” War vs. domestic problems Taylor questioned U.S. foreign policy, and how it relates to people of color. “Why is it that in the last 50 years the U.S. has waged war against, invaded, and changed social order, in countries of people of color?” Taylor asked. Israel in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and the Soviet Union in Afganistan arc just two examples that illustrate this, he said. Taylor and other students dis cussed the irony of there being no money for social programs to combat the soaring rates of unem ployed Black people and poverty, yet billions to wage war. He also said that he cannot un derstand White people who refuse to vote for Black people and social policy beneficial to Black people, but will support a war that Black people are fighting for them. Kuwait’s money Alexis DeVeaux, a doctoral stu dent in American Studies, spoke of the necessity of Kuwait’s money. American, Japanese and European money is substantially at stake due to their investment in Kuwait, she said. Americans, however, have been “sanitized” he said, by the media as a result of the restrictions laid out by the government, making Americans unaware of the real see Gulf PG. 3 �Gulf: military finances education from page 1 sues involved. is Taylor said African-American interests are not of concern to the corporate structure, who are the real beneficiaries of this conflict. DeVeaux also said poor AfricanAmericans and Hispanics often use the option of military service to earn money for a college education. This linkage of education to the military is something well-off White middle class students can avoid, but poor minorities cannot. The issue of President George Bush’s “New World Order” was also raised. “What is the ‘New World Or der’?” DeVeaux said. “It is an old concept, Hitler also used it. The ‘New World Order’ is the ideology of the strong getting stronger and the weak getting weaker, not a theory of participatory democracy.” She said that there is a need to “read between the lines” of what the government and the media is telling us, and to sec the true meaning of what we hear, sec and read, DeVeaux explained.

See page 3 for details. �Cultural show models talent Heather Willett Spectrum Staff Reporter of Black people in South Af rica. The show also had three fashion shows featuring campus, career, and evening wear with clothing pro vided by local retailers. The excitement and involvement of the audience peaked during the musical finale. An elaborate dance sequence was performed by the African-American Cultural Center and the Dance Troupe. The dancers, many of whom were children, wore traditional African dress and danced to the beat of the drums. Their energy was recipro cated by the audience. African clothing and ornamentation en hanced the effect. The costumes for the dance troupe were made by Bola Sobande, a graduate student at UB in the de partment of Architecture and Urban Planning. The second annual Black Student Union Cultural Show was held Sunday night in Katharine Cornell Theatre as part of UB’s celebration of Black History Month. The show featured three hours of singing, dancing, poetry readings, and several fashion shows. The crowd was pumped up by several rap songs and then soothed by the sounds of “Devotion.” The harmony of the six male vocalists left the audience not only singing along, but cheering for more. Other musical entertainment was provided by UB junior Janessa Quarles who interrupted the cheering audience with the com ment “I’m not finished yet!” Quarles adopted the cliche “leave them wanting more” by not satiat ing the audience’s appetite for an Sobande’s talent encore. Sobande’s talent reaches beyond the drawing board as evidenced by Treatment of Black people a fashion show featuring African On a more serious note was the styles which she designed and made. monologue by BSU Vice-President She creates both South African and Tabitha Ngwashi in which she American style clothing. Sobande painted a vivid picture of the treatment described her designs as “western variations on the original African designs.” The clothing ranged from casual to formal outfits typical of those worn by the elite, according to Sobande. They included candlewax batik designs, tie-dyed, and em broidered work. Both men’s and women’s cloth ing was done in cotton and topped off with headpieces of cotton or silk. The headpieces arc “one long cloth just wrapped differently,” Sobande said. Styles from the west coast of Africa were also modeled. Strips of cloth are sewn together to create a larger piece of fabric and is still made in “the traditional way of dress-making which is passed on from generation to generation,” Sobande said. This is because of the belief “that something will happen to the family” if a different method were used, Sobande ex plained. Sobande creates African designs for the public and can be reached through the BSU at 636-3029. Due to her responsibilities as a student, Sobande produces most of the clothing during the summer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Davis Ethnic Affairs Editor The first Black Student Union meeting of the semester was held at Deifendorf Hall last Wednesday. After a reading of the day’s agenda and requests for volunteers for various functions, BSU Presi dent Scott Norman spoke about the need for a new constitution. “The constitution we (BSU) have now is becoming obsolete, it’s not serving its function anymore,” he said. ‘Give a little of yourself To help create this new consti tution, a committee was formed to look into creating a more updated version. “Give a little of yourself,” BSU Secretary Ramona Gore said. Gore stressed the importance of becom ing involved in BSU. Members should give as much time as they can to help make BSU work, she said. “Whoever runs for office should be a people-person and able to convey information to the other members,” Gore said. Vice President Tabitha Ngwashi announced that BSU will be spon soring two rap sessions. One will be held in the T.V. lounge at Goodyear Hall featuring Henry Taylor, chairman of the program in applied public affairs studies (PA PAS) on Friday Feburary 8 at 4 P.M.

Acknowledge your history Later in the meeting, a member of the All African Peoples Repub lic in the audience spoke out about Black students becoming involved with the All African Peonies Re public. “Before you do anything you must know the history of BSU and how the problems on the interna tional scene affects students at UB,” he explained. He went on to talk about what can be done to enhance BSU so more students will come to meetings. Student Association of the State Universities Director of Activities Sha-king Alston added, “Canvass ing and making BSU more appeal ing to fellow students should in crease attendance.” Norman then distributed ques tionnaires asking what things stu dents would like to see happen to find our what students want from BSU.

Black activists ask for 'equal justice’ Robert B. Davis Ethnic Affairs Editor TheBlack Community mustfind immediate solutions to their plight or face extinction. That was the major theme of the evening for speakers Lenora Fulani, Reverend Al Sharpton, and Alton Maddox. The three activists were the guests of the Black Student Union (BSU) Monday night at Acheson Hall. Leaders Questioned “People look at the Rev. Al Sharpton and Alton Maddox and say they aren’t like the leaders of the 60’s, but Martin Luther King was terribly attacked, viciously maligned, when he spoke out.. just as we are now,” Fulani said. The Reverend Al Sharpton spoke about how White America tries to pick the leaders of the Black com munity. “If you play sports you wouldn’t let the other team choose your quarterback, because you know they will pick someone who can’t throw,” he added. “That is what White people do, they try to pick our quarterback, knowing he has two broken legs and is in a wheel chair.” Sharpton spoke about Tawana Brawley, and the Central Park jog ger trial. According to him, when the Brawley case occurred, a Black person -Brawley- was doubted and questions arose about the validity of her story. When the jogger trial came out, however, he said “before she re gained consciousness,” eight Black youths were arrested, and immedi ately were questioned. Equal Justice Sharpton quickly pointed out he wasn’t condoning the attacks, but demanding equal justice. “When Blacks get killed the is sue is Black, when Whites getkilled the issue is also Black. “We need equal justice on both sides.” Sharpton said. During a question and answer period students were allowed to talk to the speakers. One student spoke of feeling alienated by the Reverend, who responded “If you work on your side and I work on my side, maybe we can meet in the future. “The best thing you can do as a White person,” he continued, “is ask your community why is racism allowed to continue, why are Black people treated the way they are.” Solutions Fulani is the first Black woman and first Black person to be in cluded on the Presidential ballot in all 50 states. She described her New Alliance Party as “Black-led, women of color-led, multiracial, pro-gay, and pro-working class.” Fulani believes Black led inde pendent politics is the future of this country. ‘There has never been a fair elec tion held in the United States, and probably never will,” Fulani said. She is currently running for Gover nor of New York on the Independ ent ticket. Her New Alliance Party has tar geted the homeless and college students in a quest to register voters and a potential voting coalition. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Duke, former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, won his con gressional seat by a narrow margin aware of Duke’s position may not “even know he’s in our congress right now—that he was elected in Louisiana.” The other purpose of the campaign, according to Schulman, is to “show people how important a vote is. We want to educate people. You can make a difference, and you can do some thing.” BSU President Kurt Young agreed. “We wantpeople to realize the power that they have in the vote.” He emphasized that “the "I want people to be aware of their (politicians') background and what we re investing." Kurt Young BSU President in Metairie, a predominantly white, conservative middle-class New Orleans suburb. “If you went around school and asked people who David Duke is, a lot of people wouldn’t even know,” JSU member Carolyn Schulman explained. She added that those KKK and other hate groups do exist, and it’s not just something that’s down in the South. They have a chapter right up here in Buffalo.” In addition to voter registration, Young said, “We want people to be Duke see page 3 �Duke from page 1 aware of their (politicians’) back ground and what we’re investing our vote in.” Schulman is aware of the KKK chapter in Buffalo. “It is here. It’s very much alive in Buffalo, and people don’t realize that They figure they don’t see them in the streets marching and stuff. It’s not like the South where it’s more ac cepted to have them go march. “The area in which he was elected was a white area, and the deep South has been known to have that sort of (racist) view,” she contin ued. “It isn’t a very mixed area. It’s pretty homogeneous.” Nation-wide campaign discussed The campaign, which includes posters to get the message across, may employ different strategies as time goes on, possibly including a rally. The prospect of making the campaign a national issue has been JSU and BSU have discussed the prospect of making the campaign a national issue. discussed, and members of the stu dent organizations involved may begin by contacting Louisiana State University to launch the nation wide campaign. LSU is Duke’s alma mater from which he earned a degree in history. Duke claims to have left the Klan in 1979, although his address and phone number remain identical to those of the local KKK headquar ters in Louisiana. “It’s pretty hard to believe that someone can actually be an ex imperial wizard of the KKK,” Young said. “It’s like saying, to use the opposite extreme, like being the ex- Pope. It’s something that you live for all your life, which is the hate of other people, and all of a sudden you see the light, you turn around.” Lee Atwater, Republican Na tional Committee Chairman, Presi dent George Bush and Ronald Reagan unsuccessfully attempted to stop Duke, who converted to the Republican Party before the spe cial election primary in January. The three political leaders have since denounced him. Although some members of the Democratic party have pointed fingers at the Republicans, Young said, “I don’t want to make this a partisan issue because I’m sure that there are lots of people whose cre dentials could be questioned in all parties, and we’re just not aware of them.” Wednesday 5, April 1989 • The Spectrum 3 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

According to BSU President Kurt Young, a special election will not be possible because the Elections and Credentials Committee will be too busy with the upcoming SA elections. Young said that while an interim vice president may be elected, it is more likely that the organization will wait until its regular elections after spring break. The vice presidential spot has been vacant since Young left it to fill the void left when Oswaldo Mestre resigned the presidency in early February. BSU President Kurt Young Young said the vice presidency of BSU is an important job, but was confident that the organization will run smoothly without one. “We have a lot of hard-working people, so we will be able to func tion well until the regular elections,” he said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

He announced his resignation during a regular BSU meeting ear lier this month. Vice President Kurt Young assumed the office of president in accordance with BSU's constitution. “I have been involved in student government for three and a half years, and it’s taking its toll on me,” Mestre said last week. He explained that he has im proved the BSU as much as he can, and he did not want to allow BSU to suffer due to his time constraints. “I wanted to leave while BSU was still at its best and let someone else take it over,” Mestre said. Young said that although Mestre’s resignation came unex pectedly, he believes he will also make a good president. Power shift is smooth Young commented that he can handle the job and that the organi zation has good members.

Several African-American UB students had approached the BSU office and expressed that certain area night-spots have prohibited minority students from entering the establishments by utilizing a vari ety of methods. They specifically named Mickey Rats City bar and Mr. Goodbar. “These places and others have purposely scrutinized, harassed, and attempted to filter out AfricanAmerican students from not com ing into the bars, solely on the basis of their skin color,” said Oswaldo Mestre, BSU president. Rick Pfeiffer, from WIVB-TV, elaborated on the purpose of his month long under-cover investiga tive probe into the students’ racial allegations. Part of the assignment included groups of African-Ameri cans instructed to frequent approxi mately ten local discotheques and observe how they were treated compared to their white counter parts. The volunteers noticed that they were asked to submit several forms of identification while the majority of whites seeking admit tance were immediately let in or asked to present only one form of identification. Pfeiffer’s original three part series that aired a few weeks ago was presented at the meeting. This, "These bar incidents that have rejected blacks and other minorities is about nothing but overt racism." Pamela Jackson BSU Member in part, sparked this emergency to occur, Mestre said. Pfeiffer explained that, “the series, which included a special follow-up story struck a major nerve in the Buffalo community. Now it is up to the people and the local government to decide exactly what measures should be taken to handle and demolish the situation.” Need for action Pamela Jackson, a BSU mem ber, addressed the significance of an increased awareness, under standing, and unifying force be tween all UB students. She also proposed actions that should be utilized by them to directly combat the situation. “These bar incidents that have rejected blacks and other minori ties is about nothing but overt ra ” Jackson claimed. “Subtle cism, racism is becoming louder and we, as responsible students and citi zens of this community must join and work together to make a state ment to implement these necessary changes. A combination of boy cotting, picketing, and legal action is needed to make a greater differ ence.” Students of varying nationali ties are encouraged to help develop a network composed of individuals committed to belonging to a new Student Coalition Against Racism in Buffalo, Jackson continued. Students need to act and react against the situation to bring about an apparent change, said Kadra Small, coordinator of the Student Coalition AgainstRacism. We need to know how many students are willing to help fight the struggle for equality, or simply taking time out of their schedules to picket for a worthy cause. The discussion shifted to an open forum, in which several students in the audience relayed personal testi monies as to their experiences with racism. It was beneficial for the students to vent their candid feel ings and opinions with others who have been made the subject of similar degrading incidences, Mestre explained. Small mentioned that the group is planning to meet again on De cember 6 to consider purposes and functions of the new Student Coa lition Against Racism in Buffalo.

Mestre said BSU is a very large organization, with a membership of 400 to 500 stu dents on a good year. Over 100 members attend their meetings, and they provide services to a very large constituency. “What affects BSU affects many people,” Mestre ex plained. “We have a larger constituency and we get a larger budget because of the services we provide.” However, Mestre believes that many of his members are “dis gruntled”, and that this dissatis faction is justified. He used the metaphor of a mother-child relationship to explain the situation. “SA could be considered the ‘mother’ organization, and BSU is then one of her ‘children’,” Mestre explained. “A mother has to feed all of her children, and we do not feel that SA is ‘feeding’ us.” Some examples that Mestre used were Fall Fest, and the “A mother has to feed all of her children, and we do not feel that SA is feeding us." Oswaldo Mestre BSU President Homecoming “I’m a Lumber jack and I’m OK” party. “My members were not pleased with the bands at Fall Fest,” he said. “There wasn’t any music geared toward us, although the fest included a variety of bands.” The Homecoming event did not appeal to BSU members either, and Mestre thinks some open communication could solve some of his concerns. He believes that SA should work with BSU, and ask them what they would like to see offered through SA. He also said he offered his services for Fall Fest, but no one ever ap proached him. “They’re (SA) a direct agent of the mandatory student fee, and we are a large group of people who need to be sup ported,” Mestre said. “BSU is going to support the continuance of the mandatory student fee whole-heartedly, but there should be some changes made,“Mestreexplained. “We just want to let them know that we’re not fully satisfied.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mestre, former Student Association vice president, defeated Lindsay by a margin of 200 to 125, and was pleased by the victory. "It’s great," Mestre said. "It's like a dream come true. I've been at this University a long time, and I'm actually in a position where I can help. "I'm going to see that every element of black student life is fulfilled within this University," Mestre added. "A Renaissance is coming." Mestre, who ran on the Renaissance ticket, noted that improving membership, communication, image and morale were among his top goals for the future of the organization. Communication, image stressed "Communication is real important. Not just among our clubs, but among our individuals as well. Communication has to improve," Mestre said. Mestre also expressed a need to improve BSU's image "by making the BSU office a cultural center...not just for black students, Oswaldo Mestre but for white and Hispanic students as well." Mestre believed the recent incident regarding BSU's budget for the 1988-89 academic year both epitomized the lack of communication between BSU and SA and tarnished the image of BSU. This past year, BSU failed to submit their budget request on time and its funding was cut from $26,000 to $17,000. Mestre blamed the failure on miscommunication. "There was a miscommunication last year between BSU and SA," Mestre claimed. Mestre said that such an incident would not be repeated, since his presidency will avoid such developments, and noted that his relationship with SA would also prevent such an occurrence. "I have a good relationship with SA," Mestre explained. When asked if BSU can survive on the funding which they received from SA for next year, Mestre commented, "I don't think so. I'm going to try and get money elsewhere." Mestre said that he could not reveal these outside sources at the present time. Lindsay said that although he was disappointed with the loss, he would continue to pursue an alternative role in making BSU an effective organization on campus. "We (BSU) are a family. The family will still go on. We've just decided who's in charge of the family. Now that we have that, we're going to rebuild the family," Lindsay said. "I'm going to be working in all capacities with the BSU," added Lindsay. He said that he will most likely be a member of one of the extended committees. Kurt Young was announced vice president, Rosco Henderson treasurer, Nicole Thompson activities coordinator, and Ronda Raison as secretary. Incidentally, Don Miller, former chair of the College Republicans, received a written vote for treasurer. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

By William Sheridan Spectrum Staff Reporter In preparation for the organization's upcoming officer elections, the Black Student Union held an open forum for its candidates Wednesday evening in Diefendorf Hall. Participating in the forum were 10 candidates looking to occupy five positions within the BSU. Former Student Association Vice President Oswaldo Mestre and Terry Lindsay are campaigning for president, while Curt Young and Alphonso Champagne are vying for the vice president post. The race for treasurer features Antoinette Ransom, Roscoe Henderson and Sandra Chase. Nicole Thompson and Scott Norman are both looking to win the position of activities coordinator. Elections Coordinator Stacy Glover presided over the forum, which featured introductory speeches from each of the candidates and a question and answer session, during which each candidate fielded questions concerning their campaigns from Glover himself. The candidates then responded to questions from the group of about 55 which Similar goals The platforms of the individual candidates are remarkably similar, as are the issues at hand. Many of the nominees cited the need for improved lines of communication, both within the black community and between the BSU and other University organizations. "To be effective as an organization...we need to establish a free flow of communication (within the BSU)," Young said. Young's opponent for vice president, Alphonso Champagne, agreed by including "lack of communication" as one of the major problems facing the BSU today. Another area of concern among many of the office-seekers is the morale of black students at UB. Coordinator candidate Nicole Thompson explained that "in order to succeed, we need to have the involvement of the students. They must give us ideas and feedback, negative or otherwise." Her opponent, Scott Norman, concurred. "There are over 1,300 black students currently attending UB," Norman said. "If even half of these students attended a BSU activity, it would be a major success." Champagne called student morale "very poor, and... in desperate need of change." The way to achieve this change, according to presidential candidate Terry Lindsay (who ran for Student Association President during the recent general elections), is to "heighten the consciousness of black students at UB." General issues of concern Some of the candidates touched upon issues pertaining not only to the University’s black community, but to all blacks in general. "What we need to do is revitalize the black culture as a whole," said treasurer candidate Ransom, "not just here at UB but throughout the country." Meanwhile, Young sought to increase awareness of the South African situation. "What's going on in South Africa is modem slavery, no matter what anyone might call it," he said. "We must work toward freeing our brothers in South Africa." Voting takes place April 27 to 29, and while the results won't be known until then, at least one candidate is confident of victory. "Judging from the amount of work I've done," said presidential candidate Oswaldo Mestre, "I've already won." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Student Association Treasurer Amy Hennisch said last week that BSU would not be funded during the 1988-89 academic year due to its failure to follow budgetary guidelines as established in the SA Constitution. The Black Student Union was not included in the budget because it failed to submit a request to the treasurer by the deadline. Hennisch said any attempt to include it in the budget could mean violating the SA Constitution. But, "(the Constitution) doesn't say that any group that doesn't submit a budget request shouldn't be funded," claimed Bob Tahara, SA Senate chairman. "It is possible that (BSU) will get some funding, but I don't know how much or where it will come from," he added. However, Hennisch cautioned that funding BSU "could still pose a Constitutional question.'' Tahara noted the Senate has the power to restore funding, but was skeptical about its chances. "What they missed was the deadline to be included in the treasurer's preliminary draft...and what the treasurer recommends is not binding on the Senate," he said. Theoretically, he added, the Senate "can take the treasurer's first proposal and turn it totally around...the Senate has the power to approve and amend (the budget) and it can change any line." However, he was skeptical of BSU's chances for getting funded should the budget pass through the Finance Committee and budget hearings without a line being added for the organization. "If the treasurer recommends (after Finance Committee review) that (BSU) doesn't get a budget, chances are they will not get a budget or if they do, it will be very small," Tahara said. Since a new SA treasurer will be elected in two weeks, Hennisch suggested the issue could depend on who gets into office. "The person coming into office could influence the final appearance of the budget," she said. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

BSU lost its budget when it failed to turn in its request for next year. At the meeting attended by about 35 students, BSU members mentioned three steps for mobilization. The first will be a rally held Wednesday at noon in Capen lobby. BSU will also start a letter campaign, sending notes to Student Association Senators and the campus publications. The third step will have BSU members showing up at the Senate meeting Thursday. While the focus of the one-hour meeting was on regaining the funding, several BSU members voiced their discontent with the current BSU board, none of whom were present at the gathering. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

As of yesterday Student Association Treasurer Amy Hennisch had not received the budget request. Therefore, she said, BSU will not be included in the 1988-89 SA budget, and any attempt to include it now could mean violating the SA Constitution. Budget was submitted But BSU President Sandra Chase claims the budget was submitted Feb. 12 at 5:45 P.M. (still before the deadline), but refused to comment further. "It was submitted, and that is all I have left to say," Chase said yesterday. This year BSU received $24,950 from SA. According to Hennisch, it would have received a similar amount next year had it submitted a budget request before the deadline. "Now they will have to take the issue up with the Finance Committee and the Senate," she said. Hennisch will be submitting her budget to the Finance Committee today. "It's really sad (it lost funding), they are a good organization. I just don't understand why (its request) is not in," Hennisch said. "Obviously people knew about the deadlines...(because) out of 150 organizations, BSU is the only active club that didn’t submit a request." "No choice" Hennisch said she had no choice but to not include BSU in the 1988-89 budget since BSU violated budgetary guidelines as established in the SA Constitution. The clause Hennisch referred to was Article 7, Section 1,A which states: "All Student Association organizations recognized with funding must, by the second Friday in February, submit a written line item budget request to the Treasurer of the Student Association." While Hennisch told BSU officers last week that she hadn't received a budget request, she formally notified them yesterday that they would not receive specific funding for the 1988-89 academic year. The memorandum sent by Hennisch to BSU stated: "As of today's date I have still not received a budget request from you for the 1988-89 academic year. According to the SA Constitution, the deadline for handing in requests for the "It's really sad (it lost funding), they are a good organization. I just don't understand why (its request) is not in." Amy Hennisch SA Treasurer 1988-89 February "As a included You will Finance Senate." budget was Friday, 12th, 1988. result, BSU will not be in the 1988-89 budget. have to appeal this to the Committee and the Funding could be restored Hennisch conceded that funding could be restored to BSU "if the Senate votes to do so." But in so doing she added, the Senate would be compromising the SA Constitution and, conceivably, someone could ask for the removal of the senators on the grounds that they violated the Constitution. Also, she said, that if she had included BSU in the 1988-89 budget, she would have violated the SA Constitution and therefore would have been subject to impeachment. The Black Student Union, if it is see BSU page 3 �BSU continued from page 1 to receive funding for any of its programs next year, will have to request funding from the SA Minority Affairs Coordinator, who has been budgeted $5,000. Another avenue it may wish to explore will be the new "special activities fund" for students which Hennisch just created. Hennisch said the money which would have gone to BSU has been distributed to fund or partially fund other areas such as the special activities fund, a Student Association newsletter, the SA van and for increases in some student clubs.

Jane Greenberg Spectrum Staff Writer The fundamental ideas of the All­ African People's Revolutionary Party were discussed Thursday at a meeting of the Black Student Union. The All-African People's Revolutionary Party works towards pan-Africanism, "the total liberation and unification of Africa under scientific socialism," said a pamphlet distributed by the A-APRP. They also work to break down apartheid, which was instituted by Dutch settlers in South Africa in 1948. "Under apartheid, the African masses are 20th century slaves. The African majority, who are over 70 percent of the population, are forced to live on 13 percent of the worst and most barren land," the political leaflet said. A video was also shown of Kwame Toure, a leading black activist in the United States. The video had been filmed during a 1983 speech held at the Erie Community College City campus. Toure brought up the point that "all people who are oppressed cannot be free until they are conscious...they know more about Michael Jackson than (about) Jesse Jackson." Racism was a means of justifying the kidnapping and enslavement of the African people and the theft of their land, according to Toure. The Europeans realized what a rich continent Africa really is. Among Africa's wealth are mines of platinum, cobalt, lead, gold, iron, coal, chromium, silver and diamonds. Africa also contains enough power sources (oil, hydroelectric, and coal) to develop a powerful nation. Taken advantage of They have been taken advantage of, and Toure and the A-APRP would like to change that. "We have to fight, fight, fight, until we're all killed or until we destroy the enemy," Toure said. Backbone "All people of African descent, whether they live in North or South America, the Caribbean, or in any other part of the world, are Africans and belong to the African Nation." So states Kwame Nkrumah in his book, Class Struggle in Africa. This belief is the backbone of the All­ African People's Revolutionary Party, which seeks, according to the pamphlet, to "educate and organize the masses of exploited and oppressed Africans living, suffering, and struggling in Africa and over 61 other countries in the world." The A-APRP represents a development in the struggle of black people against exploitation, dispersion, depersonalization, and humiliation. Constant struggle Kwame Nkrumah, co-chairman of the 5th Pan-African Congress at the end of World War 2, implemented and taught socialist pan-African principles, practices and policies to help liberate and unify Africa under scientific socialism; they have been named Nkrumahism in his honor. Some of the principles of Nkrumahism include: Humanism, egalitari anism, collectivism, dialectical and historical materialism, scientific socialism, and the primacy of Africa. In the words of Toure, "The only way any people will be free is by constant struggle." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It's important in order to organize for liberation." Kwame has been at the forefront of the struggle for black rights.

(togetherness) wants to do for the BSU Black Student Union Needs: • Proper Management • Leadership • Accountability • Student Involvement • Faculty/Staff Advisement • More Activities The BSU will grow students need to come together.. Get Involved President Terry Lindsay Vice President Kurt Young TreasurerRoscoe Henderson Activities Coordinator Scott Norman Secretary Rhonda Raison �BSU (Stabilizing The Organization) It's time for the Black Student Union of the State University of New York at Buffalo to realize its full potential. ACT suggests that we reorder our priorities. First, ACT proposes that we begin with the infrastructure of the organization. We as officers of this organization must create a more open network of communication. Communication is an indispensable part of any organization. To successfully accomplish this, ACT proposes that we establish a weekly forum wherein all officers must attend. This forum would also be accessible to anyone genuinely interested in BSU. This weekly forum may appear to be too demanding for a full-time student, but we believe being an officer of BSU must be accorded the same amount of weight as any other collegiate activity. BSU is a student organization not a social club, and as such we as officers have jobs to do that require a high level of commitment. If an officer is not ready to commit his/herself then maybe he/she is not ready to lead BSU. Another characteristic necessary of an officer of BSU is responsibility. The officers of an organization must be held accountable for the actions of the organization on a whole. As officers we must lead the organization and be responsible for any actions taken by the organization. Unity Secondly, ACT stresses the needfor unity among all Afro-American students on campus. This can be accomplished by mobilizing all Afro-American students on campus under the guidance and leadership of BSU. To do this we must start from the bottom and gradually climb our way tothe too. We must begin by playing a larger role in the orientat ion of Freshman to university life, academic as well as social. This will aid in easing the transition from highschool to a large university and all that it has to offer. Also we should try to get students to be more supportive of each other. One way this can be done is by creating a tutorial program wherein students help students on a more personal basis. It works at the graduate level so there is no reason why it can't work at an undergraduate level. We should also establish a phone bank of all BSU members. This would aid in knocking down the barriers that constantly hamper communication within the black collegiate community as well as serve to increase attendance to BSU functions and meetings. We should also make students more aware of student government and how to become involved. There is no reason why BSU shouldn't have a ticket in every election on campus. �Events Thirdly, ACT believes BSU should sponsor at least one event per month. It appears that BSU only concentrates on sponsoring events around Black History Month. As one of the largest student organizations on campus with one of the largest budgets, we feel BSU should sponsor events accordingly. These events may include speakers, cultural shows, rallies, picnics, award presentations, etc. We should make an earnest attempt to get professionals to attend BSU spon sored seminars in all different fields of study. BSU should also have fundraisers for different charitable organizations in the community, and take an active part in community workshops. Opposing Apartheid We the Black students in a free, democratic society are obligated to help our brothers and sisters in South Africa. The system of apartheid that exists today in South Africa is slavery in disguise. Despite the recent lack of press coverage on the issue, the Black majority in South Africa are still being oppressed by the blatantly racist white minority regime. Our representatives in Congress have passed a bill that would impose minimal economic sanctions against the South African government, but president Reagan refuses to enforce these sanctions. On the contrary, the Reagan administration has helped to foster this system of racial dehumanization By supplying the South African backed Unita forces with weapons to invade the neighboring countries. We, the students of America, must do everything within our power to put an end to apartheid. If this requires taking mart in rallies, marches or sit-ins, we must be willing to commit ourselves to this cause. We must ACT to put an end to apartheid. It is our duty as students in a democratic society to defend human rights abroad. Interaction Fourthly, ACT emphasizes the need for BSU to interact with the other ethnic and liberal-minded organizations on campus. It is very important for all ethnic and liberal organizations on campus to unify. This helps us to overcome the barriers of race and culture to work together. If we can create a better relationship and understanding among different ethnic groups at a collegiate level, imagine what can be done when we are tomorrow's leaders. This serves several other purposes as well: events sponsored by one organization would be attended by members of the other organizations as well. This would also aid in decreasing the number of time conflicts among scheduled events. Lastly, this liberal coalition would serve to combat the conservative biases of the Spectrum, the apparent racial biases of Public Safety, and create stronger minority involvement in student government. �The Sanctuary (BSU Office) In closing, we would like to accentuate the necessity for the BSU office to serve as a sanctuary for all Afro-American students, not only a select few. We must work at creating more of a family atmosphere among all Blacks on campus. The BSU office should be a place where one can find information on prominent Hack figures and contributions, past as well as present. A place where students may relax between classes, and finally, a place where students can become better acqu ainted. The Black Student Union must reach its full potential. To get there we must be, Active, Committed and Together Vote Act, Terry Lindsay for President Kurt Young for Vice President Roscoe Henderson for Treasurer Scott Norman for Activities Coordinator Rhonda Raison for Secretary April 27th, 28th, & 29th in Capen Lobby �Vote for: Active B.S.U.

When decorations go up for Kwanzaa, however, many people are left to ask what exactly this third December holiday is all about. Saturday night in the Student Union, over 100 UB students, staff and alumni gathered to shed some light on the lesserknown holiday and celebrating Kwanzaa at an annual dinner sponsored by the Black Student Union. With Hanukkah set to start Tuesday night, hundreds of Jewish students at UB will celebrate the Festival of Lights for the next eight days by either going home to family, or lighting candles and swap ping presents with friends on campus. “I am so excited to go home for Hanuk kah,” said Jon Goldberg, a junior com munications major. “I usually go home every year, and this year is no different. Celebrating with your family is extreme ly important during this festival. There’s nothing else out there quite like it.” A celebration of the Jewish victory over Greek conquerors over 2,000 years see BSU page 2 [9/5 BSU] Danick Baron / The Spectrum Students light candles Saturday night in a ceremony part of the annual Kwanzaa dinner, sponsored by the Black Student Union. [Spectrum 12/6/04] see Hanukkah page 2 �BSU: Seven Candles from front page “For people who don’t really understand what Kwanzaa is about, this dinner is a great experience for them,” said Christopher Brown, a first year graduate student and BSU member. “It’s important to celebrate African American culture within such a large university.” An African American and panAfrican cultural holiday, Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966 in the aftermath of brutal race riots and the Black Freedom Movement. Ron Everett, a professor at the University of California at Long Beach, created the holiday to cel ebrate family, community, and the seven principles called “Nguzo Saba.” Unity, self-determination, col lective work and responsibility, cooperative economics, purpose, creativity, and faith are all fun damentals highlighted during the days of Kwanzaa and applied to life throughout the year. “I take whatever I learn about Kwanzaa here and bring it back home with me,” said Deidra McBean, a second year graduate student in economics. “It’s impor tant to practice the foundations of Kwanzaa. It’s a good way to live.” Organizers said Saturday’s unseasonably nice weather made it easier for more people to attend the cultural event. “Snowstorms have plagued us the past couple of years and haven’t allowed many who were interested in attending to be able to, so we really lucked out this time,” said Terrell Monroe, a UB alumnus who was a speaker at the dinner. The holiday itself, which is not religious, runs for a week from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1. Black Student Union organizers said the celebration was meant to give a background on the holiday and answer questions for those who are interested in learning more about it. The dinner featured all of the seven symbols of Kwanzaa. The Kinara, or candleholder, represents continental Africans and ancestors. The Mkeka, or mat, represents the tradition and history that today’s Africans build their lives around. The Mazao, or crops, are symbolic of the African harvest celebrations and the rewards of productive and collective labor. The last key symbol is Mishu maa Saba, the seven candles, which symbolize the Seven Prin ciples, and provide a set of values, which people are encouraged to live their lives by. The night also showcased the Daemen College step troupe and gospel choir. The neighboring col lege was invited to join in on the festivities to stress the importance of a cohesive community. “The whole idea is to make the annual Kwanzaa dinner a family and community event, and Dae men’s presence really helps us to that,” Monroe said. Although the dinner featured a traditional and hearty menu, for those who attended, the event was about far more than good food. “Coming together at the end of the semester to have a good time and eat food is fun,” said Robyn Liverpool, a senior business major and BSU member. “But learning good ways to live and the strength of community is invaluable.” � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The concept for Black Soli darity Day came from a play by Douglas Turner Ward titled “Day of Absence,” according to Simone Hicks, Black Student Union Presi dent. “(The play) illustrated social, political and economical conse quences for the nation if black people weren’t present,” she said. The first Black Solidarity Day was observed in 1969 and was founded by Dr. Carlos E. Russell, a professor at Brooklyn College. Russell, himself a playwright, author and community activist, enacted the observance on his own campus, but it is now celebrated nationwide. “This is a day held prior to general elections in which blacks throughout the country abstain from participation in social, politi cal and economic affairs of the nation,” Brooklyn College’s Web site stated. “By their absence, blacks and others peacefully oppose racism, and social and civil injustices.” The Black Student Union, how ever, will commemorate the event on Election Day. “Since the election does attract media attention, the African Amer icans who began this celebration wanted to show the political strength in the African-American community,” said Hicks. According to Hicks, UB’s Black Solidarity Event will be a day of harmony to demonstrate a rededication to the movement for freedom and justice. Participants will commemorate the day with a march from the bus stop at Governor’s to the Student Union. Marchers, dressed in black, will gather at 10 A.M. and remain in the Student Union until 1 P.M., according to Keisha Etienne, BSU. treasurer. “We are not trying to protest, but instead we are celebrating our accomplishments as members of this society and we are trying to educate our peers,” said Hicks. The day’s events are not limited to just the African-Americans on campus, but will incorporate other minority groups as well. “Historians from our association will be hosting the event but we will also have tables set up in the Student Union, representing dif ferent minority groups on campus because there are a lot of them and we try to include them all on this day,” said Hicks. The UB Step Troupe will pro vide entertainment as will the Afri can inspired dance group Sankofa! BSU historians will give speeches and lectures, Hicks said. According to Hicks, an impor tant goal of BSU is to educate young people on the importance of the vote, and the history of the struggle of African-Americans to obtain that right. Tuesday’s events will spill over into a weeklong celebration. BSU will visit the Zion Domin ion Church of God in downtown Buffalo on Wednesday evening to speak to the youth group about community leadership, Hicks said. Events such as this one aim not only to commemorate black achievements of the past, but also to ensure that black people will remain empowered in the future. “The importance of Black Soli darity Day is the importance of our people as a whole and being able to vote and being able to say proudly that we can celebrate what we have accomplished within our commu nity,” said Hicks. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

The event opened with a rendition of the Black National Anthem, “Lift up Your Voice and Sing,” and a walk from the Student Union to Capen Hall. Students stopped to show their support in the Promenade and Founder’s Plaza. Though rainy weather cut the walk short, it did not deter the group’s enthusiasm, accord ing to Patrice Gordon, BSU vice president. “People seem to have enjoyed it,” she said. After the walk, James Pappas, Ph.D., associate professor of African American Studies, gave a speech about the importance of black unity amid the red, black and green balloons decorating the Union. The colors represent ed the Pan-African flag, a sym bol of black pride, according to a pamphlet distributed by the BSU. Students made pillows with African fabrics and were able to visit booths set up by various clubs and organizations to pro mote their groups. The UB Step Troupe was pres ent with their first-place trophy from the recent Buffalo State Step Competition in hand. UB Step Troupe President Herlynne Pierre attributed the group’s success in part to the unity advo cated by Black Solidarity Day and the BSU. “The BSU is a club that people look up to. It represents all the minority clubs on campus,” she said. “Were excited to be here and promote unity within our own club.” The African SA (ASA) also set up a table in the Union. Accord ing to Fadima Kamara, a member of the ASA and sophomore com munication major, Black Solidar ity Day helps to draw students’ attention to the many opportuni ties available to them on campus. “It brings awareness to the black community on campus, to let people know we're here and can make a difference,” Kamara said. “We need to stick together and support each other. If we don’t support each other, who will?” While the main focus of Black Solidarity Day is the social and political strength of African Americans, the day represents all minority groups, according to Donovan. “It gives students the oppor tunity to learn about what other minorities contribute to the US,” he said. “It’s a chance to learn more about other people.” Because it is held right before Election Day, Black Solidarity Day reminds people of the impor tance of political awareness. Going even beyond issues of race, it serves to remind people of the problems facing the world as a whole. “Everyone thinks there’s noth ing left to fight for,” said Kevin Southern, a sophomore political science major."We need to recog nize that there are things wrong with society.” He noted problems with the government, the economy and the war in Iraq as just a few of the issues facing the world today. “It’s important to take time out to realize what’s going on,” he said. According to Donovan, those observing and supporting Black Solidarity Day traditionally forgo participation in any political, economic or social affairs. “With this peaceful absence, African Americans and others passively oppose racism, as well as social and civil injustices, on a global level,” Southern said. Donovan encouraged Black Solidarity Day supporters to wear all black to show their unity and support for the cause. “I think it’s amazing how you pass the same people (on your way) to class everyday, but for everyone to come together as one, it’s beautiful to see,” said Elijah Coleman, a sophomore theater and dance major.“It’s not something you see everyday.” E-mail: spectrum-news@buffalo.edu � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

This figure was faintly smaller than the overall GDP of Brazil in 2006 and also 80% of Russia’s GDP in 2005, even though their populations are 4 to 5 times the size of the population of African Americans. In comparison it has been said that the income rates of African Americans in 2004 would have been ranked as the “15th largest GDP internationally out of 177 ranked,” even though the unemployment rate is 10.3 percent. These figures come as no surprise as one takes a look at consumer spending habits of African Americans. Basic necessities such as shelter, food, and clothing were ranked high amongst the list, yet African Americans spent exceptionally more on clothing than all other ethnic groups. Among our favorite purchases are cars. When observing the rates of transportation and vehicles, again African Americans spent exceedingly more than other ethnic groups did, spending approximately $45 billion. Unfortunately, the only area in which African Americans’ spending has been declining is on books and other educational materials. A total purchase of books has declined since 2001 going from a net purchase of $356 million to $303 million. The priority of African American spending is obvious; educational resources ranks low while other material possessions are at the top of the list. If African Americans realized our dominant spending power and capability, we could influence the future generations and communities to be more successful as a whole. If we reduced the over consumption of depreciable materials and invested more in education, it would benefit our growth and maximize our potential as a whole. Sickle Cell Charity Auction On Saturday, September 30, 2006, the Black Student Union in conjunction with the Enlightened women or Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Incorporated held the Annual Sickle Cell Charity Auction. A total of $2419 was raised, which will be contributed to the ongoing efforts to “break the sickle cycle.” Both organizations sincerely thank all the participants and other supporters that made this event as successful as it was. They also look forward to your continued support in future events. �The Black Grapevine Page 2 Black Wall Street A Summary of Dr. Leroy Vaughn’s “Black (Negro Wall Street)” from the book Black People and their Place in World History By Darnell Cummings The "Black (Negro) Wall Street” was the name given to Greenwood Avenue of North Tulsa, Oklahoma during the early 1900’s. Because of strict segregation, Blacks were only allowed to shop, spend, and live in a 35 square block area called the Greenwood district. The ’’circulation of Black dollars” only in the Black community produced a tremendously prosperous Black business district that was admired and envied by the whole country. Oklahoma’s first African-American settlers were Indian slaves of the socalled ’’Five Civilized Tribes”: Chickasaws, Choctaws, Cherokees, Creeks, and Seminoles. These tribes were forced to leave the Southeastern United States and resettle in Oklahoma in mid-winter over the infamous ’’Trail of Tears.” After the Civil War, U.S.-Indian treaties provided for slave liberation and land allotments ranging from 40-100 acres, which helps explain why over 6000 African-Americans lived in the Oklahoma territory by 1870. Oklahoma boasted of more All-Black towns and communities than any other state in the land, and these communities opened their arms to freed slaves from all across the country. Remarkably, at one time, there were over 30 AfricanAmerican newspapers in Oklahoma. Oil was soon discovered and Tulsa rapidly grew into a thriving, bustling, enormously wealthy town of 73,000 by 1920 with bank deposits totaling over $65 million. However, Tulsa was a ’’tale of two cities isolated and insular”, one Black and one White. Tulsa was so racist and segregated that it was the only city in America that boasted of segregated telephone booths. Since African Americans could neither live among Whites as neither equals nor patronize White businesses in Tulsa, Blacks had to develop a completely separate business district and community, which soon became prosperous and legendary. Black dollars invested in the Black community also produced self-pride, self-sufficiency, and self-determination. The business district, beginning at the intersection of Greenwood Avenue and Archer Street, became so successful and vibrant that Booker T. Washington during his visit bestowed the moniker: "Negro Wall Street.” By 1921, Tulsa’s AfricanAmerican population of 11,000 had its own bus line, two high schools, one hospital, two newspapers, two theaters, three drug stores, four hotels, a public library, and thirteen churches. In addition, there were over 150 two and three story brick commercial buildings that housed clothing and grocery stores, cafes, rooming houses, nightclubs, and a large number of professional offices including doctors, lawyers, and dentists. Tulsa’s progressive African American community boasted some of the city’s most elegant brick homes, well furnished with china, fine linens, beautiful furniture, and grand pianos. A 19 year old Black male accidentally stumbled on a jerky elevator and bumped the 17-year-old White elevator operator who screamed. The frightened young fellow was seen running from the elevator by a group of Whites and by late afternoon the ’’Tulsa Tribune” reported that the girl had been raped. Despite the girl’s denial of any wrongdoing, the boy was arrested and a large mob of 2000 White men came to the jail to lynch the prisoner. About 75 armed African Americans came to the jail to offer assistance to the sheriff to protect the prisoner. The sheriff not only refused the assistance but also deputized the White mob to disarm the Blacks. With a defenseless Black community before them, the White mob advanced to the Greenwood district where they first looted and then burned all Black businesses, homes, and churches. Any Black resisters were shot and thrown into the fires. When the National Guard arrived, they assisted the others by arresting all Black men, women, and children, and herding them into detention centers at the Baseball Park and Convention Hall. As many as 4,000 Blacks were held under armed guard in detention. On May 31, 1921, the successful Black Greenwood district was completely destroyed by one of the worse race riots in U.S. history. Dr. Arthur C. Jackson, a nationally renowned surgeon known as ’’the most able Negro surgeon in America”, was shot at the Convention Hall and allowed to bleed to death. By the next morning the entire Greenwood district was reduced to ashes and not one White was even accused of any wrongdoing, much less arrested. The race riot of Tulsa, Oklahoma was not an isolated event in American history. During the ’’Red Summer” of 1919, over 25 race riots were recorded (white mobs attacking black neighborhoods). After the Tulsa riot, the White inhabitants tried to buy the Black property and force Black people out of town. No Tulsa bank or lending institution would make loans in the riotmarred Greenwood district, and the city refused all outside assistance. However, racial pride and self-determination would not permit the Greenwood owners to sell, and they doggedly spend the entire winter in tents donated by the American Red Cross. Rebuilding was a testament to the courage and stamina of Tulsa’s pioneers in their struggle for freedom. Most of the buildings along the first block of Greenwood Avenue were rebuilt within one year. In 1926, W. E. B. DuBois visited Tulsa and wrote: ’’Black Tulsa is a happy city. It has new clothes. It is young and gay and strong. Five little years ago, fire and blood and robbery leveled it to the ground. Scars are there, but the city is impudent and noisy. It believes in itself. Thank God for the grit of Black Tulsa.” �The Black Student presents its Union Annual Skating Jam October 27th, 2006 @ New Skateland 8PM- 11PM More Information Coming Soon State University of New York at Buffalo The Black Student Union 307 Student Union Amherst, NY 14260 Phone: 716-645-3029 Fax: 716-645-2112 E-mail: BSU1967@gmail.com � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Even though they are not exclusive to Blacks and Whites, this article will focus on interracial relationships amongst these two groups. Interracial relationships have been a disputed issue in America since the establishment of colonies in the seventeenth century. The first attempt at expressing intolerance of such relationships dates to the passage of the first Anti-Amalgamation Law in 1664 in Maryland. This law was aimed at prohibiting marriage between Black men and English women due to uncertainty as to whether the offspring of a black slave and a white person would be considered a free person or property. This prohibition of intermarriage between Blacks and whites was later perceived by some to be necessary in order to prevent corruption of the white gene pool. However, these laws did not prevent white slave masters from crossing the color line to take advantage of Black women while emasculating Black men. Given that the first encounters of sexual integration occurred during slavery, they are usually understood as being filled with dominance, violence, and rape. Because of this, Du Bois was very critical of the hypocrisy of implementing anti­ amalgamation laws as he believed that “it is the white race, roaming the world, that has left its trail of bastards and outraged women and then raised holy hands and deplored ‘race mixture'" (Du Bois: 1921). Frederick Douglass, a product of Black and white ancestry, believed that intermarriage was necessary for the assimilation and acceptance of newly freed slaves into American society. He stated that “the future of the Negro therefore is...that he will be absorbed, assimilated, and it will only appear finally...in the features of a blended race.” Even though he was also of a (Continued on page 2) Sickle Cell Awareness Dear Supporter, September is National Sickle Cell Awareness month. For the past six years, The Enlightened Women of Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Inc. have dedicated this month to raising money for Sickle Cell Anemia and educating the public about the disease. Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells that contain mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. Sometimes these red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent shaped) and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels. When sickle-shaped cells block small blood vessel, less blood reaches that part of the body. Tissue that does not receive a normal blood flow eventually becomes damaged. This is what causes the complications of sickle cell disease. There is currently no universal cure for sickle cell disease. We hold two very successful annual events, The Walk, whose continuing theme is “Break The Sickle Cycle!” as well as The Sickle Cell Charity Auction in conjunction with the University at Buffalo’s Black Student Union. These combined events on average raise approximately $10,000 a year for Sickle Cell Anemia. We would like to thank everyone who has participated and/or contributed to the success of these events. Please visit us at our New Clinic! The Comprehensive Sickle Cell Disease Organization. For more information please e-mail us at alphachap@hotmail.com Sincerely, Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Inc. �Page 2 The Black Grapevine Mixed Emotions About Bridging the Racial Divide mixed ancestry, W.E.B. Du Bois contested Douglass’ assertion. In opposition, Du Bois stated that Blacks have resisted assimilation but “it has been forced on us by brute strength, ignorance, poverty, degradation and fraud” (Du Bois: 1921). Although there have been significant increases in mixedrace relationships, such relationships continue to be rejected based on the necessity of cultural preservation. Opponents usually presume that marrying outside one’s race amounts to cultural betrayal. Some African Americans, for example, believe interracial relationships with a white spouse impedes on the solidarity of the African American community. As author Lawrence Otis Graham pointed out, African Americans disapprove of Black/white relationships due to fear that children of these relationships will forsake their Black heritage upon realizing that it is easier to live as a white person. White America’s rejection on the other hand revolves around the fact that interracial relationships will eventually lead to an extinction of the white genotype. Like Frederick Douglass, present-day advocates of interracial relationships believe it as an inevitable step in bridging the racial divide. According to one supporter, Yvette Walker, “racism.. .will have to be bred out. We can’t make policies to change it. And certainly in an interracial relationship the children are raised in a climate of tolerance.” Such supporters readily refer to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s dream of progressing to a point where people are not judged “by the color of their skin but by the content of their character” (King: 1963). Is Dr. King’s dream finally coming to fruition or is it that efforts to create a colorblind society has resulted in a generation that ignores disparities that still exist?

Our Nig by Harriet Wilson Incidents In The Life Of A Slave Girl by Harriet Jacobs �Volume 1, Issue 2 Page 3 A Fallen Star by Simone Hicks September 13, 2006 marked the 10th anniversary of Tupac Shakur’s death. A victim of a drive-by-shooting, he will always be a legendary lyricist. Some may know him as a charming actor, a vicious criminal, a radiant songwriter, a wild celebrity, a misogynist and black prophet. After 10 years, Tupac’s memory is still very vivid in hip-hop music today. Shakur is highly praised for being the greatest rapper of all time. He has been the subject of books, movies, college courses and musical forums. Tupac was born to a former Black Panther member, Afeni Shakur. His mother’s radical features incited many of Tupac’s songs. Many of his lyrics reflected an unstable childhood in the ghetto, economical problems and drug addictions. His with aggravation with the internal and external failures with the black community was expressed vividly through his songs. His music is still a constant reminder of the black frustration with America. Blast to the Past September 17,1983 Vanessa Williams became the 56th Miss America, and the First AfricanAmerican woman to be crowned. Unfortunately, she was forced to relinquish her crown and its accompanying benefits in 1984 after Penthouse magazine published nude photos that were taken of her 10 years prior to winning the pageant. However, her determination to prove to the world that she made “a terrible error in judgment” when she posed for the pictures has led to a successful career in the entertainment industry. September 18,1895 The Atlanta Compromise, which was a public address from Booker T. Washington regarding race relations occurred on this day. In the address, Washington asserted that vocational education, which gave Blacks an opportunity for economic security, was more valuable than social advantages or political office. According to Washington, “In all things that are purely social we can be as separate as the fingers, yet one as the hand in all things essential to mutual progress.” This philosophy ignited fear in Black intellectuals who thought that it would cause them to be subjected to indefinite subservience to whites. This apprehension led to the Niagara Movement as well as the birth of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. September 19,1797 Sojourner Truth, abolitionist and women’s rights pioneer was born into slavery in Hurley, Ulster County, New York. She was freed in 1828 when New York emancipated slaves. Truth was a mystic who heard voices she believed to be God's. In 1843, obeying her voices, she took the name Sojourner Truth and went preaching along the eastern seaboard. Upon coming into contact with the abolitionist movement, she embraced it and tour the country touring on it’s behalf. September 20,1664 September 21, 2002 September 22,1950 Maryland passed the first Anti­ Amalgamation law that was intended to prevent marriages between Black men and English women. This was based on uncertainties regarding whether the offspring of such marriages should be considered a free person or property. Brenda Knight, the first African-American female chairperson of the Association of Community Colleges Trustees was elected. This organization represents more than 1,200 colleges, 6,500 trustees, and 11 million students in America. Knight is currently the community and government relations coordinator for the Oakland Unified School District. Raplh Bunche was the first person of color internationally to be awarded a Noble Peace Prize. He received it for successfully mediating a series of armistice agreements between present-day Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. �The Black Student Union and Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Inc.

Du Bois, African American historian and sociologist, advocated the concept of the Talented Tenth. This theory emphasized the necessity for higher education in order to develop leadership among the most able ten percent of Black Americans. According to Du Bois, “The Negro race, like all races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men” (Du Bois: 1903). elevated the mass...” (Du Bois: 1903). He also posed the question: “Can the masses of the Negro people be in any possible way more quickly raised than by the effort and example this aristocracy of talent and character” (Du Bois: 1903)? He states that it is necessary for the “college-bred Negro” to be the leader of the group as the Negro people need social leadership more than most groups as they have lack traditions, established customs and strong family ties to fall back upon. In supporting this claim, he pointed out that “From the very first it has been the educated and intelligent of the Negro people that have led and Do you think that today’s “Talented Tenth” are living up to Du Bois’ expectations?

Is love color Mind? Patterns of interracial relationships: • 40 out of the 50 states at one point in time banned the marriage of persons of color and whites • It was not until 1967 with Loving vs. Virginia that the supreme court brought an end to such statutes Questions 1) How do you feel interracial relations are perceived today? 2) Are there stigmas that follow behind interracial marriage or relationships? 3) Is there a shift in racial attitudes that reflect a modern commitment to the social norm? 4) Is there a difference in acceptance when a person is merely dating out of their race rather then getting married to that person? 5) How does an interracial marriage affect the Black Community, if at all? 6) Will we ever be on the verge to a world where a person’s ethnicity when it comes to marriage does not matter? Are we close to that now? Upcoming Events: Sickle Cell Charity Auction With Alpha Beta Sigma Sorority, Incorporated September 30th 2006 �Interracial Relationships: Black Community Acceptance or Rejection General Meeting September 20th, 2006 1)Treasure Report 2) Historian Report 3) Announcement about Publicity 4) General Announcements (Parties go last) (community service update) ***We are focusing on Black and White/ 2 polar extremes 1. 2. Historical Background a. Patterns of Interracial Relationships 1. Laws barring the marriage of persons of color and whites existed in 40 of the 50 states 2. Loving vs. Virginia Supreme Court in 1967 brought an end to such statutes (anti-miscegenation 3. Throughout history Black Men in comparison to Black Women have “out married” to a far greater extent then Black Women to all other ethnicities 4. New York State (1919-1964) Found in only 2 years the percentage of Black females interracially married was greater then the male percentage (1919 & 1935) 5. Over the years males have accounted for between 41 90% of all black mixed marriages Relevant History/Facts a. Highest incidence of “out marriage” is namely in the western states Useful Statistics Are Interracial relationships negatively impacting the Black Community? Current interracial marriage disparities In 1967, the Supreme Court ruling in Loving v. Virginia struck down the last of the anti­ miscegenation laws in the United States, and with this, the frontier of available marriage choices shifted out. The number of interracial marriages in the United States has been on the rise: 310,000 in 1970, 651,000 in 1980, and 1,161,000 in 1992 according to the U.S. Bureau of the census 1993. Interracial marriages represented 0.7% of all marriages in 1970 to 1.3% in 1980, to 2.2% in 1992. With the introduction of the mixed-race category, the 2000 census revealed interracial marriage to be somewhat more widespread, with 2,669,558 interracial marriages recorded, or 4.9% of all marriages (census 2000 PHC-T- �.19) (Here, marriages between two mixed-race persons, or where they are the same race but one is Hispanic and the other not, are not counted as interracial.) Although mixed-race partnering has increased, the United States still shows huge disparities between African American male and African American female endogamy statistics. The 1990 census reports that 17.6% of African American marriages occur with White Americans. Yet African American men are 2.5 times more likely to be married to white women than African American women to white men. In the 2000 census, 239,477 African American male to white female and 95,831 white male to African American female marriages were recorded, again showing the 2.5-1 ratio. Despite this, slightly more white men are married than white women. Cohabitation and interracial marriage African American men are 2.5 times more likely to be married to a white spouse and 3.3 times more likely to be co-habitating with a White American, as compared to their African American female counterparts. Research yields that 7% of married African American men are with white wives and 15% of African American men cohabit with white women Immigrants and interracial marriage It is found that racial endogamy is much stronger for immigrants as compared to natives; it is 4.9 times more likely for immigrants of African descent than for African Americans. Additionally, immigrants of African descent have the highest rates of endogamy of immigrants. Also, African immigrants are much more likely to marry other same-race immigrants and African Americans, than to out-marry racially. Native-born White Americans are also 1.6 times more likely to marry a native-born African American than an immigrant of African descent. Female immigrants of African descent are generally more likely to marry native-born whites than their male counterparts. Prison Rates: In 2004, more than 2.1 million Americans, or roughly 1 out of every 138, were in prisons or jails approximately 40.2% of the prison population is black, while 32.1% of the population is Hispanic Black or African American 12.8% or 37.9 million, Black Community has changed ultimately from where it was in the past 1) On one hand in the past it was never accepted 2) Now it is more widespread from Black Males perspective Black Men enslaved historically by white men Black women enslaved historically by white men/females - separation with their children - Stigma to raise their black daughters to marry black men because they saw it as a degradation of their family (own � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

What are the sever health issues for black women? Are women of color adapting to the American image of beauty, if so how? What rights do we have as women? Will they be guaranteed in the future?

How have black women changed in history? -Triumphs What significant advances have black women made? How are we as a group in the business world? -Expectations What are your expectations for black women in the future? Will we improve or decline? What do you expect from this BWU this year?

History: The Souls of Black Folk written by W.E.B DuBois (1903) provides an insight on the talented tenth theory. A) Booker T. Washington- African American educator as well as the founder of the Tuskegee Institute 1) Taught African Americans trade skills and industrial training 2) Felt that having a trade would gain the respect of the White community 3) Felt that trade skills provided economic security to all African Americans 4) Gained place and consideration in the north B) W.E.B DuBois highly criticized the acts of this industrial movement 1) DuBois believed that academic education was more important then trade education 2) Emphasis on industrial education actually kept African Americans trapped in lower social and economic classes if African Americans stuck with trades 3) Felt that if all we asked for was to be recognized by the White community for our trades; then that would be the extent to which what we were given 4) Felt that arts and sciences were the best route to achieving an equal state 5) Argued that although arts and sciences through education was a direct way to deal with this problem, it was NOT meant for all people. (leads into the theory) Talented Tenth Theory Definitions Elite: a group of persons exercising the major share of authority or influence within a larger group representing the most choice or select; best Elitism: 1. practice of or belief in rule by an elite. 2. consciousness of or pride in belonging to a select or favored group. �A) The theory of the talented tenth provided by W.E.B Dubois is an essay which describes the necessity of the top 10% of the African American people to take responsibility and lead the rest of the 90%. B) The core of his theory is the idea that educated African Americans are obliged to sacrifice their “personal interest and endeavors in favor of community leadership activities designed to improve the social, economic, and political condition of the race” (DuBois, 1948) C) Controversies A. The talented tenth theory separates African Americans i. Did DuBois really believe that only those with means could become members of this elitist group? ii. Was he only cultivating an entourage of elitist who would exploit the rest of the people or seek individual gain at the expense of the masses? iii. Program contemplated the uplift of a few rather then the development of many iv. Criticism by other leaders (Booker T.) showed that they disapproved of this concept because it looked as if he separated the race and only those that were financially capable of attaining a higher education were basically responsible for leading the rest of the people and did not effectively involve or portray anyone’s interest B. DuBois’ defense i. Rejecting the criticisms as not being “fair” to his original meaning ii. Years after proposing this concept he acknowledged that he did not fully articulate the responsibilities or obligations of the Talented tenth that could prevent the misconception of his theory iii. Theory based on the educated who would future educate many generations iv. Leadership of African Americans was much more needed in intellect rather then physical muscle C. Questions 1. Is DuBois’ Talented Tenth engaging in leadership activities as was the original idea? 2. Have the Talented Tenth forsaken their responsibility to their communities in response to personal gratification and accomplishments? 3. Is the theory of the Talented Tenth still needed today? 4. Should we be defined by our educational attainment, our occupation, and income? 5. DuBois stated that to belong to this Talented Tenth you must get an education through higher education; such as college. Do you agree with this? 6. Are these Blacks lifting as they climb? �7. Are members of the Black Middle Class engaging in the leadership activities of their respective communities? 8. Is there a distinction between the Talented Tenth and the Black Middle Class? Study which shows the talented tenth are actually engaged and working in their communities, yet the Black Middle Class look to attain personal gratification and success through materials and class issues. “Here is a race transplanted through the criminal foolishness of your fathers. Whether you like it or not the millions are here, and here they will remain. If you do not lift them up, they will pull you down. Education and work are the levers to uplift a people. Work alone will no do it unless inspired by the right ideals and guided by intelligence. Education must no simply teach work - it must teach Life. The Talented Tenth of the Negro race must be made leaders of thought and missionaries of culture among their people. No others can do this work and Negro colleges must train men for it. The Negro race, like all other races, is going to be saved by its exceptional men.” (William Edward Burghardt Du Bois) � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
