Celebrated annually by forty states, Black History Week ran from the ninth to the sixteenth of February. A black historian, Carter C. Wilson, founded Black History Week to commemorate outstanding Blacks, and to recognize relatively-neglected Black contributions to society. The project was intiated at Marshall with the administration's help, and the sponsorship of Mr. Harold Lawson. Actively promoting the activities, ninety per cent of Marshall's Black students traveled to George Mason University to hear Lacey O'Neil and Ray Jefferson speak on The Black Athlete. Three weeks ot planning were behind student artwork-oriented bulletin boards. Black achievers and their contributions (including air brakes, heart transplants and stop lights) were recon-ized throughout the school. In addition a slide show was presented in the GCM cafeteria. Short biographies were presented on Black statesmen, and a library display initiated response from the student body as a I whole. f A Soul Explosion Dance was planned to be extension of the week. A flexible committee worked throughout February to ready the cafeteria-located dance. The hoped-for result of Black History Week was not focused towards black pride alone. Mr. Harold Lawson summed up the school's goal: Black students are looking forward to the day and time when standard textbooks will . recognize the contributions made in America regardless of race.” Below: Gloria Jackson, Gary Tinner, Renca Ford and Kevin Jackson (Monkery) pose in front of their handiwork. 50 - -. • '• • '. .• v f Ann-.Gaskins organizer of -TKe Scxil Explosion Dance, practices up-on her boogie.
