Kabanya Spears: The junior music major won the title of
1990 Miss Black UGA Tuesday. Her piano playing and
singing talents weren’t imaginary to the judges.
A high-spirited crowd of more
than 200 people attended the 17th
annual Miss Black UGA Pageant
at the Tate Student Center
Tuesday evening.
After three hours of entertain
ment and stiff competition, Ka
banya Spears, a junior music
major, was named Miss Black UGA
1990.
The event was hosted by Alice
Brown, a University alumna and
Law School graduate, and enter
tainment was provided by At
lanta’s V-103 deejav Mike Roberts.
Benjamin Roundtree, president
of the Black Affairs Council, per
formed a monologue for the audi
ence.
Ten contestants sponsored by
various organizations competed for
the title. The pageant consisted of
talent, evening gown and interview
competitions.
Spears played the piano and
sang “Imagine,” by John Lennon
for her talent segment.
“I thank God for blessing me
with the opportunity to be in the
pageant and allowing me to win,”
Spears said.
The pageant was sponsored by
Delta Sigma Theta sorority as port
of its May Week festivities to ac
centuate black heritage and cul
tural pride.
The responsibilites of Miss
Black UGA include representing
the University at the Miss Black
Georgia Pageant.
“I will be making several ap

sophomore computer science
major, was voted Miss Conge
niality by her fellow contestants.

University prof returns from trip
to Soviet Georgia with lots to tell
Klansmen attend race relations seminar
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Civil
rights leader Joseph Lowery re
scheduled a race relations seminar
that he had planned to teach on
Saturday in Birmingham to sev
eral Ku Klux Klansmen under a
settlement of a lawsuit, officials in
volved said Wednesday.
Lowery, president of the At
lanta-based Southern Christian
Leadership Conference, went to
Oklahoma for a relative’s funeral
and postponed the seminar be
cause he did not know if he would
be nble to be in Birmingham on
Saturday, according to his aides
and others involved in the set
tlement.
The seminar was rescheduled
for May 12 in Birmingham, said
Fat Clark, director of the Klan-
watch program of the Southern
Poverty Law Center in Mont
gomery. Lowery said previously
that he did not plan to disclose the
exact site or time of the seminar
because he did not want news
media coverage to scare off the
Klansmen.
The two-hour race relations
course was part of a settlement
reached between eight Ku Klux
Klansmen and blacks who filed a
civil lawsuit against them after a
clnsh between Klan members and
black marchers led by Lowery in
Decatur in 1979. Several people
were injured, but no one died in the
racial fighting.
Under the settlement, a former
leader of a Klan unit in Bir
mingham, Roger Handley, was to
attend the race relations course
along with several others who took
part in the clash with the
marchers.
The settlement, reached last
July, also required the Klansmen
to pay $11,500 in damages, partly
through monthly payments of $50
or $100, and perform 50 hours of
community service.
The lawsuit was filed on behalf
of black marchers by the Southern
Poverty Law Center in Mont
gomery. Ms. Clark said Wednesday
that some but not all of the pay
ments have been made and the
community service performed.

Phyllis Barrow, a retired Uni
versity assistant professor, said its
going to take two years to tell
about her two-week trip to Soviet
Georgia.
“I had a wonderful, marvelous
trip that could not have been
better,” she said
Barrow returned Tuesday from
the Friendship Force’s Georgia-to-
Georgia exchange after travelling
for “45 hours without sleeping from
Tbilisi to Athens,” Barrow said
while recuperating at home.
She was one of 250 Georgians
who participated in the exchange.
American Georgians stayed with
Soviet Georgian families.
“It’s incredible that you could
feel that close to someone in such a
short period of time,” Barrow said
of her host family.
A member of the Soviet family
Barrow stayed with was visiting
Atlanta on the exchange at the
same time.
She said of her host family, ‘The
16 year-old boy spoke fluent En
glish and acted as my interpreter.
We got along very well even though
they spoke little English. The
grandfather spoke French so we
could say ‘bonjour.’ ”
The people of Tbilisi were cour
teous, she said, especially after
they learned she was an American
visitor.
“I took seven taxi rides when I
was there. Five of them, the

spoke little English.
