BLACK HISTORY The week of February 11-15 was devoted to the obser¬ vance of Black History Week. This year’s theme of “Let There Be Peace on Earth” highlighted the various activi¬ ties organized bv Chairman Rhonda Briggs and Sponsor Mrs. Dolores Truesdale. An assembly was held each day during Black History Week. These assemblies featured a film on the accomplish¬ ments of Blacks in the area of classical music, and speeches by Theodora Jackson, Levy Green, and Rhonda Briggs concerning literary, historical, and social contributions of Blacks. An interpretation of an African dance was pro¬ vided by Phyllis Gaines, and Marita Fleming gave a solo performance of “Let There Be Peace On Earth.” Melvin Perrow, a graduate of Nelson Memorial High School, sang the Black National Anthem at Thursday’s assembly. Borrowed and imported art works were on exhibit dur¬ ing the week. On display were paintings, sculptures, and various objects from Africa including hand-made bead necklaces, maracas, and ceremonial masks. On Thursday evening highlights from each day’s activities were com¬ bined into a program given for the members of the community. The Black History Committee intended for these pro¬ grams to increase the appreciation of Black culture, to in¬ form students of the accomplishments of Blacks, and to create a sense of understanding and harmony within the student body. 18
