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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

In 1852, the YMCA of Buffalo was started by George W. Perkins in the loft of the old Pearl Street Methodist Church. It is the second oldest YMCA in the United States.  Another YMCA location was opened in Buffalo on Delaware Avenue in 1927.  By 2006, several locations had opened throughout the Buffalo Niagara region.  &#13;
&#13;
This digital collection is about the Young Men’s Christian Association (YMCA) of Buffalo Niagara and consists of items from 1901 to the 1970s. Materials include membership cards, summer camp scrapbook pages, advertisements, and photographs.  The scrapbook depicts photographs from Camp Kawabi in Niagara Falls, NY, circa 1950s.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Campus

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

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

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

Too
Much
by A. Crossman
Yes; You are

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

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

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

If only you knew how much !!!

Time Will
Tell

It is no longer the time for
revolution

The time has surpassed when

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

man continues
To be harassed; racially as

well as socially
His only alternative is to Kill

and be Killed

Until such a time that he has
gained complete independence

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

It may not be the only solution
to our problem

But it is an equal reaction to
the action

which he has been
taking upon us

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

BSU's Legal Affairs
Committee is Ready to
Help . . . and Teach
Allah
In unity and struggle
Beloved brothers and sisters:
The BSU Legal Affairs Committee holds the responsibility of assisting
brothers and sisters with any conflicts they may encounter which require a
mediator or legal assistance. If you have been or are now being treated
unjustly, by an instructor, the administration, or anyone at the university,
notify us and we will help you correct the matter.
We will help you to our fullest extent and likewise we want you to help
us. If you can spend a few hours each week helping the BSU in its struggle to
make the roads here smoother, wider and longer for the black student in his
quest for equality through higher education. Participate in the weekly
meetings and join the Legal Affairs or anyone of the various BSU
committees. We urge you to participate. Please don't feel that you can't do
anything. Just say you will and we'll show you what and how you can do it.
Come share with your brothers and sisters; we'll learn from you and I'm
sure you'll learn from us. "We know you've got it, so come on and give it
up." I'll see you at the next meeting.
As-Salaam Alaikum

january, 1978

In the area of sports the BSU has a
basketball team that does the
opposite of the UB's basketball team
in that they don't lose too often.
Every weekend the basketball team
goes statewide playing various other
BSU organizations at other colleges
and prison institutions. It's worth
while to see prison inmates and BSU
players having a good time in what
they are doing.
Also the BSU gave a dinner which
was a smashing success and I should
know — I'm another five pounds
heavier! We had Roosevelt Rhodes at
one of our meetings to discuss the
problems BSU was facing. Roosevelt
is Director of Minority Student
Affairs and a former student here at

UB. In his own words he told us that
the solution to BSU's problems was
in unity — the unity of all black
students at UB, so let's get together
people — we need each other.
In future events we will have a
winter carnival where some of us will
spend one glorious weekend at some
lodge when the snow comes and just
have a good time doing what we
want. Also, we're planning a trip to
California during the spring recess
and the list just goes on. So come,
check out the BSU, not for my
benefit, but for your own, because
once we start there'll be no stopping.
But we need your help to get the
show off and on the road, the faster
we start the better it will be.

What The People's Voice'
is About
For years there has been a "communication gap" between the Black
Student Union and its people, unjust political events and lack of support
have led to further misunderstandings. The People's Voice is a new
newspaper which hopes to be the source that fills the "communication gap."
By informing the minority populace of the important issuesand events that
are affecting them on campus, we hope to stimulate them enough to respond
by supporting us.

Our first issue is focusing on unity — it contains work from the past as
well as the present. Some of the writers no longer attend this university, but
the issues that they've written about are as relevant now as they were then.
They deal with why we're here, how we got here, and what we could do to
make things better while we are here. I personally had the privilege of
knowing some of these people when I was like so many of you who are out
of touch with the B.S.U. The things I learned from them about dealing with
this university and life itself are priceless. I hope you can learn from one
another through your ideas in The People's Voice.
In the future, we will deal with more up-to-date issues, yet we will not
be a battlefield for political propaganda and exploitation. We merely want to
state the facts the way they are. The most important thing for you to realize
is that The People's Voice is your voice, like the B.S.U. — it will be what you
want it to be.
I would like to say thank you to all of the brothers and sisters who
volunteered their work and time for the paper; to all the people at University
Press who went out of their way to make this publication possible; and last,
but certainly not least, thank you God for giving me the inspiration,
determination and guidance to strive on.

For more information on how one could work for, or merely
contribute their work to The People's Voice, come to the B.S.U. (335 Squire
Hall) or see me — Bennie Lamont Kyle — at E 404 Richmond Quad, Ellicott
Complex. There will be a meeting concerning the newspaper on February 3,
1978 in the B.S.U. at 2:00 P.M. If you're interested in the paper, please
come out and give us your support.

�Take away his newspaper
and he's docile os a lamb
Dwight E. Simpson

This was the title in an illustrated
article in The Spectrum,
(Nov./16/1977). The illustration is
one of anenourmous black man
wearing a loin cloth , croutched
down on all fours with a comparably
smaller white man standing with his
foot on his head, in the position of a
person standing in victory over his
fallen prey.
We the black students have an
organization here on campus for us,
but the time this office is used by
the students is unjustifiable; we have
tried to have meetings with you, you
haven't come; we've tried to create a
mailing list with you so that we
could get in touch with you, but you
won't even come up to the office.
Europe is a country built on the

idea of divide and conquer. America
is a country built on the idea of war.
When slavery was practiced in
America, the system most used to
gain slaves was "divide and
conquer,” black against black (tribe
vs tribe) where one tribe would be
persuaded (for pay) to make war on
another tribe, and sell the captives as
slaves to the Europeans, and that
same system seems to be what is
used today. We as Black people are
still as separated as ever. The
illustration in The Spectrum was in
my opinion, a slap in the face of
every black person on this campus. I
can't express my disappointment
when I saw this, and the lack of any
reaction from the black student
body as a result of this insult. To say
the least I am disappointed and I feel
sorry for us if this is going to be our
response to such insults.

why Are we Here?
Frank Anthony Watson

Have you ever asked yourself
"how did I get into the University of
Buffalo?" Well if you think that you
made it on your own grades you are
kidding yourself. You got here
because all over America Blacks and
Third world people said that we
want better jobs, housing and
education for our children. To show
that they meant business there was
violence all over America. We owe
our presence here to men like Dr.
Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, The
Honorable Elijah Muhammad and
many others. Many people had
different ways to deal with the
problems that we as black people
have but they all had a common
theme which tells us that we must
come together.
Many people gave their life so that
we must forge a Bond between us
that is so strong that we will be able
to fight off any attack that is
launched against us. Today we are
being attacked from all sides.
Brothers and Sisters you can't take
your presence here for granted
because our continued presence here
is in jeopardy. Have you noticed how
long it took you to get your money?
I know that you had to buy books
but there was no money or
provisions made to accomodate our
needs. How many more semesters
will you allow this kind of treatment
to continue?
Will you continue having that
"don't give a damn attitude?" We are
living in the days of cutbacks and
you know who is the last hired and
first fired. Did you notice how the
white students in the student
government take cheap shots at us
by telling us that we can't do our
own programming because we don't
page two

know how to handle money? They
try to make us look like animals by
spreading vicious rumors that we will
attack people if they cross a picket
line. Brothers and Sisters we are
being attacked, our organization is
taking a beating in the student press.
We must put an end to this type of
treatment. Brothers and Sisters we
can no longer afford to sit back
while someone else carries our load,
we must get involved in every
segment of Student Government. We
owe it to those who are entering this
University after us. This is a must if
we are to continue being on this
campus.
You can't afford to wait until
next semester when it is time for
your money and you are told that
you have to wait 6 weeks for your
money. The time is now, we must
put pressure on the Director of the
E.O.P. program, ask him where he
stands. It seems to me like our
director isn't responsive to our
needs.
Brothers and Sisters if you keep
thinking that our director is going to
speak up for us you are crazy. If he
speaks in our interst he will more
than likely get terminated from his
position. Brothers and Sisters you
must remember that he works for
the Administration and not for the
E.O.P. students. I am not trying to
put our Director down, maybe he
doesn't feed a hungry stomach; good
intentions doesn't pay your landlord
when the eviction notice comes, nor
does it buy books. We must get
involved. So the next time you have
something that you want to gripe
about come to Room 335 Squire
(Norton). We are students just like
you. Then maybe you can see how
you got here.

My People
Sandra Brinson
My people are important to me. They mean the survival of a race of
people who have been an essential part of this country for many, many
years. People whose works and discoveries have gone virtually unrewarded
throughout history and up to this very day. My people are strong. I truly
believe the phrase, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going" was
coined with us in mind. The time for us to overcome has not yet arrived, but
the foundation is laid and the building blocks are well into the making.

The building blocks are the children. They will change the world and
make it a better place for everyone. It's quite true that all children will have
an impact on this messed up world but the children of my race will have the
most influence. Their incredible knack for bouncing back is an asset for the
future. It may be too late for the older ones, but the children are the
back-up force behind our dreams.

There are a few things my people must overcome before the revolution
begins. Before we can aim for the world as a goal of change. We must get
ourselves together as a group, as well as individuals. There are walls between
us that must be torn down in order to communicate. Communication is the
key to the survival of the better race, US. The walls that must be overcome
are ones that have kept us in the background for many years. They have
forced us to hold back progress within ourselves and in culture. Some of
these walls are: misunderstanding, irresponsibility, distrust, dishonesty, fear,
misuse (of ourselves and others), abuse, and many other dilemmas. I realize
these things are true in many societies and cultures, but they are intensified
in our particular ethnic group, for the simple reason we tend to use them
against each other.

We have never been trusted so as a result we learn not to trust, not even
our own people. I feel the main reason we have not overcome these things is
because when we help each other we tend to turn our backs on each other,
when it is all over. We make it to the top and forget all about the little
people who gave us that needed push toward success, also we think only
ourselves thus forcing others to believe that we are selfish. I well realize that
for so long most of us have had to make it on our own but, if we've been
there why do we refuse to help those who are going through it at the present
time. Why does it take a crisis to bring us together?
I guess you are wondering who my people are. Or have you already
guessed? I suspect you have. They are the Black People of this world. The
ones who have come inspite of it all. With all the dilemmas and changes (or
should I say chains) we have gone through we still struggle for that goal. A
goal we thought was already reached at the abolishment of slavery. That
ultimate goal of Freedom. Although slavery was abolished decades ago we,
the black race are still bonded by invisible chains of bondage. Many of our
leaders have come and gone but, somewhere in the future there is a time
when we can stand as one big family, hold hands with our enemies, not fear
each and every outsider, welcome our fellow man and speak when something
needs to be said.

These things plus Love for life and people will make our hearts Iighter
and our burdens not so heavy.

Between These Two Shoulders
Ora Shine
Knowledge and love linger. Pain and pursuit of life. This unknown area
of your body means a lot to you. For instance, self-control, love, hate and
most important you, yourself.
One day I sat down and tried to find myself, but I couldn't because I
looked everywhere except within myself. I looked in and almost wanted to
kill myself, because of the fact all I could face was the truth. The terrible
drawn out truth that was there all the time. The pain was almost unbearable.
The shock was terrifying. Why? Because I who thought that I was so great
was just another soul crying out for peace, love and understanding within
myself. And yet to find another tragedy that I, me, myself was no different,
yet so different from all the rest.

Young and Beautiful
Ora Shine
Curious about life, wondering what you're going to do with yours.
Trying to run too fast but going so slow. Figuring the right from the wrong is
hard on self-control. Trying so hard to learn history (his story) the best way
you can. Thinking of better ways, but never being able to speak on your
ideas and get results because you're too young to know better. You dream of
love because you'll never know the truth about it. When you have learned a
little about life you're too old and crazy, because you're too old. So now
that you're young and beautiful, think about it — you might not get another
chance.

�Would You Like A Ride?
Would you like a ride?
Oh yes. Thank you mam. I've
been standing here for an hour. One
man almost ran me down and didn't
stop. I missed the last bus that's why
I'm hitching. The last bus pulled off
at 12:55 and I got to the bus stop at
12:56. I have to go all the way down
Main. Oh, my name is Robin.
Hello Robin. You should have
gone home when you finished
working.
How did you know I had a job?
I didn't say you had a job; just
that you were working. Working can
mean anything. But since you
mentioned it, how do you like
working at the library? You should
have told your boss you wouldn't
work overtime today and went
home.
Lady how did you know . . .?
You are a pretty girl and you
would have married that boy named
David. He's a nice guy, you know.
You should have never walked out
on your mother. She needs you. And
she loves you. When you told your
mother to go to hell and in the same

day moved 500 miles away from
home without telling her, she had a
stroke. You didn't know that, did
you? And that little boy you killed
and blamed it on his brother? did
you know he just got out of that
institution for the criminally insane
yesterday? He's been in there for ten
years..
That was wrong Robin.
Would you like a ride sir?
Yes mam I'm going down Main
street, cold night tonight.
Not as cold as you are sir.
What mam?
Mr. Ford, you destroyed your
friends so you could gain control of
their business. You kicked your wife
out of the house for another woman.
Then you told the other woman to
get lost saying you're tired of her.
Remember when your sister asked
you for money, for her child's
operation and you said no? Sorry I
believe you said "Get out in the
street and make your own money.”
The baby died two months later of
course.
What happened to your car?

The brakes gave away. I'll send a
pick-up truck for it in the morning.
Mam who are you?
Stop this car!!
Yes mam please stop.
Good bye Robin and Mr. Ford.
Mr. Ford, is that really your name.
I'm scared.
Robin do you know where we
are?
No, Mr. Ford

A newspaper floats out of the sky
and Mr. Ford picks it up . "Two
Accidents on Main Street" — Six
blocks apart. One was a hit and run,
a girl was killed. The other lost
control of car.

What you should know about V.D.
Ms. J. Murphy, R.N.
Family Planning Nurse Practitioner

Veneral disease is not a dirty word ... it can
infect both young and old, rich and poor, black
and white ... it is a destroyer ... it has reached
epidemic proportions in the United States, but
can be treated and cured.
If you think you have V.D., or think you have
been exposed to V.D., it is extremely important
to see your private doctor or go to the free
confidential clinic at Erie County Health Dept.,
room 262, Rath Bldg., 95 Franklin St., Buffalo,
N.Y. Hospitals do charge, but they usually
recommend the free services. Erie County Health
Clinic will test and treat with free and
confidential service; minors included. Parents will
not be notified.
New York State Public Health Law states:

Minors can be tested and treated for V.D.
without consent of parents.
Venereal diseases are bacterial infections
caught through intimate bodily contact with an
infected person, usually through sexual
intercourse. You can get VXD. from any intimate,
sexual body contact; not only with intercourse,
but also from oral and anal sexual activity, even
with persons of the same sex (homosexuals) can
get V.D.
V.D. cannot be caught from drinking
fountains, shaking hands, dirty glasses, combs,

�Poetry
A Dedication To George Greene

Let No One Write My Epitaph
Remember me, as one for my evil as well as my good.
Remember me for the understanding I gave to thee.
Remember the love I gave to all.
But most of all,
Remember the pain I gave to all.
Remember me and love me for there will be no other,
like me.
Remember the laughter and the pain.
For I am human
Remember Me!

Your Black Rights

"Hey you! Who me, suh? Come hea!"
So on we went just beings
Never human or with a given name
What lied before you was branded fame
by the way, the master wants
Your wife to be, tonight!
"No Nigras served here"
Behind those shacks, what went on
the women raped and dead, the men are gone
Oh look! They're hanging from those
trees near the pond.
By the way, did you ever meet the K.K.K.?

"Color folks must attend school"
Listen boy, you are a nigger
sit in the back
stand in the back
ride in the back
eat in the back
don't answer me back
by the way, you can sing and dance
in the front
No need to bring to mind any more
of the pain, whites will never feel the
shame, and they say they are not
the ones to blame!
by the way, can you run or shoot
a basketball?
So you just graduated from college, wow!
You claim you have all that know how —
You've just been made the manager
of K-mart — don't be depressed
it's taken four hundred fifty nine
years to do that —
by the way, you are not pushing
the stuff fast enough.

Listen folks don't despair, this year
has been a bicentennial fair and you have
not gotten anywhere.
by the way, where are all those minority rights?

I And He Awake
I awake, he awakes
To a bed of three brothers do I
To a room of his own does he
Hungry from no dinner last night
Praying that when I look in the box
That maybe there will be something in the box
But him, he awakes with mother in the kitchen
Her in there making that sweet music
She's cooking breakfast
After jiving with my brothers
in the weekly meetings and join the Legal Affairs Commits
We get dressed and brew up something
Then downstairs, It's Saturday
Him, to the bathroom, Then Mom dresses him
To the den to watch cartoons
Later he and sis shop with mother
We man, I mean me and my three brothers
We've hustled up some money
And now we have pockets full of candy
Him he chews Trident (saves the teeth)
But hey man, that candy taste good
Man, it looks like it's lunch time
I got enough money to get a hero
He goes to the kitchen stealing cookies
While mom she sets the table for lunch
Now everybody's down
We're playing games
But now the girls and guys
They want to play RCK.
Him, he goes over to grandma's
But he likes it there
Grandma's sweet to him and besides she baby sits a girl
Sis tries to keep him from the girl
Ah, she's jealous
But now, about this time it's not so hot
And everybody's in the park playing ball
Seeing who's got a game and who hasn't
Better be good man
Him, he plays ball but if you're not good you still have a ch
Everything is fair
Tired of ball I go home
Mama's home, from working early this morning
She's cooked our dinner, boy am I happy
Him, grandma's cooked a wonderful din
They all sit down and say grace
Then him sis and the girl play games
Man am I full
So now it's back out
He notices that girl's nice, and she notices him
So they act real nice to each other
Man that beer was the death
Over to Derek's party they go
Him, they're back in
Playing those games again
Sis leaves and he steals a kiss
It was nice
Man that party was the joint
The girls were what's happening to
They give you a good dance
But now home to those three brothers of mine
And that crowded bed
Hope we get a new bed soon
Back home he goes
Mother and Dad are back from the club
Home he goes
Feeling good from the kiss
And the safety of home
But who is he and who am I?
Good night.

You sit and let it fly.

You sang the song
for days,

and Tomorrow was way back

You begin to dislike the song.
Wonder why?
Then hate begins to crawl
that you hate the song.
Wonder why? it was a beautiful

You despise the song
when you realize that Tomorrow

what a shame
and you let it fly

you sang that song

�In Honor of Albert
On Saturday, March 12, 1977, the PODER
(Puerto Rican Organization for Dignity,
Elevation, and Responsibility) Organization
at SUNYAB held at the Statler Hilton Hotel
a luncheon in honor of one of their
ex-presidents. This feature is about that man
and that night.
From the years 1968-71, Albert Cappas
reigned as president of PODER. During those
years he helped write proposals and
performed various other duties that were
necessary in the institution of the SEEK,
EPIS, and later EOP programs on campus. He
has been an advocate in greater Hispanic
representation among the student
population. He's been a friend and supporter
in the Attica struggle.
The love Albert Cappas has for his people
has been displayed time after time in his
personal involvement in the community. He
has worked with the Puerto Rican Chicano
Committee, and its Learning Center, The
Consortium
of Spanishspeaking
Organizations, The Attica Committee,
Minority Student Affairs, as its associate
Director, and El Semanario Latino (a latin
newspaper which he founded). Albert Cappas
is also a very talented poet; his work is
published in several latino journals.

But it was history coming

In city hall

decisions that don't exist)

By covering your eyes,

- Albert O. Cappas

The 143rd District State Assemblyman,
Honorable Arthur 0. Eve, serving as guest
speaker, headed the list of afternoon
presentations. He recounted his past
experiences with Cappas; he spoke of Cappas'
love and devotion as a friend and a supporter
in a very moving speech.
Following Hon. Eve, a list of awards were
presented to Cappas by WBFO; the
Consortium of Spanish-speaking Community
Organizations (COSSCO); the
Spanish-speaking Political Caucus (SPC); the

Puerto Rican United Youth; the Puerto
Rican Chicano Committee (PRCC); the
Office of Minority Student Affairs of
SUNYAB; the Office of the Mayor; Juanita
Young, of Channel 2's Take A Look, El
Semanario Latino newspaper; PODER, itself;
and Mr. Jesse Nash, Assistant Vice President
for the Department of Affirmative Action
and Human Resource Development of
The presentations moved the audience of
150 people repeatedly from laughter to tears;
for example, when Mr. Francisco Perez
presented the PRCC award, a baseball bat,
and then became speechless after taking a
personal moment to thank the man he called
"my teacher.'' Ms. Susan Gonzalez presenting
a Puerto Rican flag on behalf of the
Spanish-speaking Political Caucus, after
arriving at the podium, could find nothing
else to say except "thank-you." Ms. Juanita
Young, herself weeping, brought the crowd
to tears as she recounted Mr. Cappas'
personal concern for her well-being during
her illness last year. Mr. Rogue Aguilar,
presenting for the Semanario Latino, the
Spanish newspaper founded by Mr. Cappas,
spoke ringingly of Mr. Cappas' love for his
people, of his compassion and goodness, and
of the hypocrisy of self-styled and
self-appointed "leaders" who plague the
Spanish-speaking community. Mr. Roosevelt
Rhodes, Director of Minority Student
Affairs, spoke of Cappas' ability to persevere
in the face of all odds and ended by saying,
"I love this man dearly." Mr. Nash afforded
the event its most amusing moment when he
presented the plaque from his department.
"I'm not going to fire you, because I want to
keep you around long enough to give a
plaque to me someday." Maria Cruz,
Chairwoman of PODER, acknowledged Mr.
Cappas' struggle for survival on the streets of

Spanish Harlem in New York City, pointing
out that he has been able to extend that
struggle to the betterment of his people.
"Nowhere," she said, "is his intense love for
all of us more clearly displayed than in his
poetry."
The audience rose to its feet, giving Cappas
a standing ovation, when Deputy Mayor and
City Corporation Counsel Leslie G. Foschio
read a proclamation, signed by the Mayor
designating Saturday, March 12, 1977 as
Alberto O. Cappas Day in the City of
Buffalo.
After all the awards had been presented,
Albert 0. Cappas finally spoke. His were the
words of a true leader, as he spoke with
special affection about the growth and
development of the PODER organization.
"They have genuinely brought Dignity,
Elevation and Responsibility to this
community." After thanking his wife
Socorro Cappas, for her help and strength
during the years, he turned briefly to the
upcoming election year. "This is an
important year for the Spanish-speaking
community," he said. "This year we're going
to elect a Mayor, for better or worse. This
year, please vote with your eyes and ears
open to what is good for the community.
There will be 'Token Ricans' out there,
protecting their jobs in City Hall, whose aim
is to get you to vote your community down
in City Hall. Keep your eyes and ears open to
your own needs," he went on, "and vote to
make it better for all of us.
"Our community must come first . . ."
We as a people were blessed the day God
created Alberto O. Cappas. On behalf of all
concerned, I'd like to say thank you to them
both for what they've done to help us.

�Album Reviews
Bennie Lamont Kyle

Secrets — Con Funk Shun

When one first listens to F Fun, the 45 release
by Con Funk Shun, one might think this is just
another disco-funk record by just another
disco-funk group. One may have the impression
that most of the selections on their debut LP
Secrets are simply more disco-funk cuts that
sound similar to F Fun; one would also be very
mistaken.
Con Funk Shun is a band whose function is
producing funk for the party people who never
seem to leave the dance floor as well as the disco
goers who are too cool to get their clothes wet.
Their work is new and original. It'll leave you
pleasantly surprised with high expectations for
the future. The material for Secrets was written
by its producer Skip Scarborough and members of
the group.
F Fun and Con Funk Shunizya are the disco
favorites but its jams like Doo Wa ha Cha Wanna
Doo and the instrumental Indian Summer Love
that emphasize the mellow funkiness of Con Funk
Shun.
From the moment you see the album cover
you can sense it's not what you think it is. The
secret is that it's better.

Odyssey — Odyssey (RCA)

Listening to a new album with a fresh sound is
very often similar to a spiritual wondering marked
by many changes of fortune. Our latest guest is
with Lillian Lopez, her sister Louise and Tony
Reynolds who call themselves and their debut LP
Odyssey.
All of Odyssey is smooth listening music with
a latin, raggae twist. There's excellent
harmonization within this musical arrangement.
Easy Come Easy Go, Native New York and
Weekend Lover are the suggested cuts. Native
New Yorker and Easy Come Easy Go are both
disco tunes; but while Native New Yorker has
been getting nationwide radio time, Easy Come
Easy Go is longer with a strong latin beat.
Weekend Lover is a mellow tune that picks up and
slows down with a hint of reggae, it typifies the
versatility of Odyssey.
Songwriters Ralph Kotkov, Danny Randell
and Sandy Linger created the album's material; it
was arranged, directed and produced by Charlie
Calello and Sandy Linger who also produced Dr.
Buzzard's Original Savannah Band! Some of the
outstanding musicians appearing on this album are
such greats as the Brecker Brothers on trumpet
and reeds and guitarist John Tropea.
Odyssey's fresh latin-reggae sound is very
catchy. You'll find your head rocking, hips
swaying and feet shuffeling as you travel with
them on a journey of musical fortune.
Extensions— Ralph Graham (RCA)

This is an album for lovers or those who love
the idea of being in love. It's perfect for creating a
romantic atmosphere as you entertain that special
someone during a candle light evening. The LP is
mostly a collection of ballads, yet there's still
enough up beat tunes to keep it alive.
The album was produced as well as written
and performed by Ralph Graham. His standout
cuts are Changing Up My Life, If I Should Lose
You and Let's Make A Dream. The first is a fast
tune that starts things out right; the second is a
love ballad which he really gets into and the third
is fast enough to keep you a step away from
dream land and slow enough to maintain a mellow
mind.

Guitarist Cliff Morris along with Rob Monsey
and Ralph Schuckett on piano and synthesizer
instrumentally give Extensions its romantic flavor.
Monsey and Schuckett are also responsible for
rhythm, horn, and string arrangements.
Let the total range of Ralph Graham's
message envelope you and your love while it
enhances your evening of pleasure.

All 'N All- Earth Wind and Fire

Earth, Wind and Fire, the elements of the
earth, messengers of the universe are back on the
music scene and once again they've delivered the
word:

Every man has a place, in his heart
there's a space.
and the world can't erase his
fantasies
Take a ride in the sky, on our ship
fantasii
All your dreams will come true
right away
And we will live together, until
the twelfth of never
our voices will ring forever,
as one."
As individuals they're some of the most
spiritually devastating performers in the music
industry. Together they're one of the top groups
in the world as they continue to produce some
the best music of our time. All 'N All is the title
of their latest LP, its musical versatility and
spiritual message leaves one spellbound. It's by far

the finest work yet from a group that gets better
with each album they produce.
This collector's item has no individual
standout for one could not mention a particular
song or musician without saying somethin
g about
all of them. The abundance of talent and
excellent selection of songs has been blended into
an even balance. The beautiful horn, string
arrangements by Tom Tom and Eumir Deodato
along with incredible engineering and remixing by
George Masenberg leads you from one song into
another without disturbing your spiritual trance.
The album's material was written by various
members of the group with a little help from
Sonny Burke, Eddie del Barrio and Steve
Beikmeter.
Serpentine Fire is the album's leading cut; as a
45 release it's rising to the top of the charts.
Love's Holiday is a love song sung by Maurice
White and it's becoming equally as popular on
nationwide radio stations. All of the up beat tunes
are "boogie bombs" and can be considered
"money in the bank" when it comes to drawing a
crowd to the dance floor.
Although most of the album is fast, Maurice
White and Philip Bailey take your spirits back to
church when they sing the slow ballads. Maurice
sings two out of the three ballads, Love's Holiday
and Be Ever Wonderful, both are devastating to
the soul. Philip Bailey reminds one of Eddie
Kendricks on his People Hold On LP as he sings I
Write A Song For You.
There's a different message in each song that
can be absorbed while you're dancing at the disco
or relaxing in your favorite easy chair. Everytime
you listen to All 'N All you hear something new,
something unexpectedly beautiful.

Black Student Union, Suny at Buffalo

November 12, 1976

Minorities Boycott UUAB
by Brad

Sunday, Oct. 30, was the first
actual move of the combined
forces of the Black Student
Union, PODER, and Minority
Student Affairs in our boycott of
the racist activities programming
of the University Union Activities
Board
(UUAB).
This move
consisted of a picket line in front
of Shea’s Buffalo Theater. The
concert picketed,
Norman
Conners, lost well over ten
thousand dollars. We would like
to thank the members of the third

world community who made this
boycott a total success.
Supposedly, this concert was to
be for the entertainment of the
minorities. As usual, the aspiring
slavemasters took
it upon
themselves to do our thinking for
us. A job they feel is beneficial
and
necessary.
Realistically
speaking, their thinking for us can
only be detrimental. This action
was typical of. the ideals upon
which UUAB, and many other
such university organizations, has
based themselves.
We are capable of programming

our own activities. There is no
board of white men in existance
that is capable of telling us what
we enjoy, nor do we need them to
aid us in any endeavor of this sort.
In essence, our boycott only
began on Sunday. Hereafter, all
UUAB speakers, concerts, films,
dances, etc. are to be boycotted
by the minority community. This
should not be too difficult, as
most of their programming is not
at all attractive to the majority of
our sisters and brothers.
Last year, the BSU, PODER,
and other minority
student

A Closer Look at BSD’s Board
Members — Part 1
by J. Williams

One of the major complaints
the Black students on this campus
have with their Black Student
Union is, they feel isolated or
alienated from those people
behind the organization. Some
students know basically nothing
about how the BSU is run, how it
benefits them, and who are the
leaders of the BSU. The brothers
who head the organization wish to
close the communication gap
between the Black students and
the BSU. Therefore, the three
members of the BSU Executive
Board were interviewed in order
to shed some light, or to give
insight into their personalities.
Each were asked the same
questions dealing with Black life
on this campus, within the BSU,
and in the community. The
answers each gave were of their
own opinion and a reflection of
their own personal character. This
issue of Dark Reminder features
the interview with Executive
Board member John Lott.

Q: What is the function of the
Executive Board position?
A: To govern and oversee all
Black Student Union business.
Q: Why did you run for this
position?
A: I saw a lack of or unwillingness
among the students to become
unified. It’s always been my
contention to believe that the
youth of our race would have to
become the nucleus for unifying
Black people, but after being in
office for two years, I now have
reservations. On the application
for office, a question was asked as
to what ideas would I be bringing
to the BSU, I guess the most
common answer was to not only
bring unity to Black and minority
students but to also bring unity to.
Black and
minority faculty.
However, I found that was not
working. Students, the majority
of them had become complacent,
by that I mean they had gotten
here coming from a point of being
exploited to a point of being the
exploiters. I still feel that I have a
great deal to impart to the Black
students, but I don’t think they
are as receptive as I’d like them to
be.
Q: Do you have any previous
school or community experience
with clubs, which help you
handle the responsibilities of this
office?
A: Yes, I was a group leader for
the youth at the Westminister
House, President of the YPF
(Young Peoples Fellowship of St.
Phillips Church), and major, a
product of the ghetto. I felt I was
equipped to do the job.
Q: Will you incorporate the
knowledge you’ve gained from
working with the BSU, when you
return to the community?
A: The community is so far above

this campus life that it would be a
burden. I feel that when the level
of thinking here versus the level of
thinking in the community, the
people in the community are
more aware of situations. When I
say situations I’m talking about
being aware of what the honky is
about. Either these people are
naive or complacent or apathetic
but the people in the community
are more aware and they deal with
those people from a different
angle than the people here. The
things that I’ve learned here while
being in the BSU or being out in
the campus community wouldn’t
apply to the city community. It’s
something you take from here
back there, but if you go to the
community it’s about learning the
community way and latter for
this... you leave this here.
Q: Would you say the Black
students on this campus are
apathetic?
A: Not in total, but I’d sav 99.9%.
Q: Do you feel the brothers on
this campus have a different
idealogy or goal than the sisters or
do you feel they’re moving in the
same direction towards a common
objective?
A: The brothers are going to pot
and the sisters are emerging,
believe it or not, as the dominant
force.
Q: How would you describe the
difference between educated
Blacks and community Blacks as
far as attitude, politics, and
direction are concerned?
A: Blacks in the community are
more aware than Blacks on
campus on most levels. Blacks in
the
community
have more
common sense versus more
educational sense. In order to get
ahead, if that’s what you’re about,
you need the educational sense

organizations were allocated a ten
thousand dollar line. This line was
earmarked for entertainment
programming as the organizations
saw fit. This year, that line was
eliminated.
The reasons given were hardly
substantial. They cited
the
Funkadelic concert, last year, as a
valid enough reason. They said
there were $1800 worth of
damages, and that some of the
incidents that occured did not
look too good in the public eye.
In actuality, the gym was insured,
and the damages came to no more
than $350. Most of that was used
for clean up labor.
As for the
incident not looking too good in
the public eye, every year UUAB
sponsors
a
decadent,
pornographic, collage of filfth
known by the name of “Pink
Flamingoes.” This speaks for
itself.. It also speaks for their
mentality.
They then stated that UUAB
supplied entertainment sufficient
to satisfy all. The only thing we

had to do was come to them and
tell them what we wanted.
Basically, they were playing that
same old master/slave game.
We are sure we know what
these people eventually want.
Things don’t work that way, at
least not anymore. We do not
desire, nor do we need, anyone to
do our programming, or our
thinking, for us. These people can
not even turn a profit for
themselves. Yet they wish to
control all programming.
If you wish to find out more
about our boycott, or anything
that might concern us, simply
phone or visit the BSU, or

find out, yet you can only benefit

Love, Marriage &amp; Family Planning
by Ms. J. Murphy, R.N.
Family Planning
Nurse Practioner

Love is probably the most
single important and meaningful
human quality in the world. There
are many different kinds of love.
There is love between parents and
children — between brothers and
sisters. But the love between male
and female in some way, seem to
be be one of the most important
kinds of love, and for some of the
married; the most difficult to
maintain — as divorce and
desertion statistics imply.
Many factors combine to make
a full and satisfying life together.
Some of these factors you may

Panthers Sports News
Panthers Win
BSU Panthers played their first
intramural basketball game
Wednesday night, November 3,
barely winning 30-27. The
Panthers failed to play team
ball and almost lost because
they did not. They were led
by Eugene Henderson with 20
points.

Panthers Go Down
BSU
Panthers football team
ended their season early with
a 18-0 loss in a brutal playoff
game with the N.Y. Clits. The
Panthers - defending against a
good passing team, had
problems stopping thelong
bomb, as this is how all
points were scored. They also
could not get their offense
going. The game was stopped
with about four minutes to
play when fighting broke out
among the two teams.
Two brothers said they were
hit and grabbed in the groin
area with intent to harm. The
Panthers retaliated, and it led
to a brawl which caused
Security to step in to stop it.
In the future, these brothers
want it to be known that
they will not be abused. They
ended the season with a 5-2
record. Some of the brothers
who played were Otis Horne,
Walter Haddock, Keith Jones,
Wesley Marable, Larry Williams,
Archie Chambers, George
Thomas,
John
Lott, Robert
Tribble, Rod Hinton, Robert
Bell, ErzaHines, Michael
Fredericks, and Leon Smith.

versus the common sense. You
need a certain amount of common
sense in addition to book sense.
That’s why I think the people in
the community are more aware.
Politically those on campus are
more aware on the national level
and those in the ghetto are more
aware on a local level.
Q: Do you feel educated Blacks
have an obligation to community
Blacks?
A: The majority of the Black
students on this campus are from
out of town, so to their respective
communities, yes, they have an
obligation. I believe that the
community is the one that’s
responsible for us being here in
the first place. Those people that
were rioting in the early sixties,
they had no aspirations of going
to a college. The majority of them
didn’t get out of third grade. So
the ones who really benefitted
from it were the ones who were in
high school at the time, keeping a
fair grade. Those were the ones
who were the beneficiaries of the
things the ghetto “niggers” had
did.
So
that’s where
the
obligations lie. I think the
majority of the students today
have forgotten what the people of
the ghetto went through in order
for them to be here. Those
brothers were out there dying and
getting shot up in the streets for
Black people to be in these spots.
That’s why I look at Black people
today who are integrating or
whatever and I don’t have too
much respect for them.
Q: What do you think that
obligation entails?
A: You can liken it to Orientals
and Africans. It used to be
commonplace years ago that when
foreigners came to this country to
get higher learning, they were
about taking it back to their
country
and
bettering the
community and not giving what
they learned to the enemy.
Q: In what way do you feel more
Black students can participate in
the BSU’s activities or policy

UUAB, SA, etc., what advice
would you give to those who want
to run for an executive board
position?
A: I wouldn’t advise them not to
run. I think that one of the things
that you have to come into this
with is a dedication to this office
first and then the strength to go
to honky and say look man I’m
not going to let you shit on me.

Q: What are your personal goals
for yourself and your family?
A: I don’t feel I have a personal
goal for myself. For my children I
want them to acquire knowledge
and know white people... know
enemies. I impart to my children,
depend on yourself and acquire all
knowledge you can.
Q: Is there anything you want to
add to this interview?

A: To clarify the statement I
made earlier about youths being
the nucleus. I was comparing the
youth of today with the youth of
the late sixties and early seventies.
At that time we had a different
type youth. Instead of changing
for the better or progressing, we
are regressing. I think what has
happened is, when dealing with
white people we must take into
consideration the man did not get
where he is today being a dope.
He is a shrewd person in that
when one trick doesn’t work he
tries another until he comes to a
point where he can just control.
On this campus you can see that.
What they do is not necessarily
play you against one another but
elevate some to do their dirty
work. Here, their “house niggers”
get to the youngsters coming into
school and tell them, “If you do
this or do that then everything is
cool” and everything isn’t cool.
This is a racist institution. Not
only is the administration racist,
the student government here is
racist. What we should be about
here in the BSU is someway trying
to impart to these people the real
side of it. When the youngsters
come in they shy away from the
BSU and right away we get a
negative image. During freshman
making?
A: Be Black and stop being black orientation, no one from the BSU

performance of Tower of Power.

Sat. Oct 29 - Labelle once more graced the stage of Buffalo’s
Kleinhans Music Hall with their endless energy, bringing about an air of
excitement that only Patti, Nona and Sarah can do. The three dynamic
ladies adorned with their unique style of dress - Nona in her white on
white ace flying Suit, Pattiin her Arabian style drop front dress, and
Sarah in a golden skin tight body suit — put on a show of shows.
They open the show from behind the shear black curtain, singing
Chameleon, the title tune from their new album. They performed
selections from their former albums Nightbirds, Pheonix and Pressure
Cookin’, but mostly from Chameleon. “Come Into Mv Life, Isn’t It a
Shame”,“Get You Somebody New”and“Gypsy Moths” were sang to the

“Can I SpeakTo You (Before You Go To Hollywood)”, a song about
a friend who makes it big and forgets where she came from and the
friends she left behind was choreographed theatrically. Sarah played
the role of the snobbish friend, while Patti and Nona sang to her. The
act/song ended with the ladies affectionately embracing while singing
the lyrics, “I believe in you,” to the audience. Labelle concluded the
show with Lady “M” and “What Can I Do For You", with Patti calling
people onto the stage to party.

The one bad point about the concert was the music was often so
loud you could not hear the sisters getting down!

Twelve periodical publications have been issued by the BSU and are the primary record of the activities and history of the organization.&#13;

Most of the material was issued on newsprint, and the material is now extremely fragile as a result of heavy use.&#13;
