The 1975-76 school year was the year the Minorities and Company Club was created. Many of the school's minority students felt that there was too little recognition of cultures other than the White- American . For this reason MAC came into existence. The main objective of MAC's primary creators, Debra Johnson, Sharon Franklin, and Debbie Gibson, was to inform the general student body and the faculty of Del Campo of the Mmorltles Contributions of in the United States. During National Black Week the first Black man to join the Air Force came to D.C. to speak to students. On the anniversary of Martin Luther King's assassination a very moving speech made by Mr. King was heard by all during the daily bulletin. By playing music performed by Black artists in the B-Multi-purpose Room during both lunches throughout National Black Week students were exposed to another part of the Black culture. During that one week many eyes were opened to the Black's contribution to American Society. MAC members were planning to further their influence by showing the many other minority culture s affects on our society in the past and the present.
