wanted to know what was
wrongand why,” Mrs. Sullivan
said.
Sheattended the University

Coordinated Undergraduate
Program (CUP)in Clinicaland
Community Dietetics and

was the first and only African-
American to accomplish that
feat.
The program is no longer
part of the curriculum at the
University.
Sullivan shares that being
the only black in the class

oldest student.
“I got along well with my
classmates. Being the oldest

lenging. I have always been
the oldest one in the class,”
she says with a chuckle.

said. “We should celebrate di
versity and recognize we are
different, but equal.”
The Human Relations Co
mmission along with the Com
munity Relations Service met
in Augusta Saturday not just
totalk about aracially divided
community, but to also start
working towards solutions.
The forum, sponsored by
the First Church of Christ,
Scientist was held in the audi
torium of Lamar Elementary
on Baker Avenue where the
Reverend Larry Fryer,amem
ber of the Human Relations
Commission was a guest
speaker.
Fryer addressed racism on
apersonal level and even went
asfar asto point out the segre
gated audience that sat before
him. It was the irony of a
segregated audience that con
sisted of mostly blacks and
whites talking about a racial
unity that madetheßeverend’s
speech hit home for a lot of
people.

“Racism is not black or
white. It’s alearned behavior.
We choose to segregate our
selves. Look at us here. Whites
sitin one place whileblackssit
inanother. Wedo thiseven we
are not aware that we are. We
were taught to do this.”
The Reverend did not only
talk about the racial barriers
in the community. He also
talked about looking beyond
color lines and how to start
thinking outside “the box.”
“Alot of ushavebeen taught
and coached to hate people.
The white community fears
the black community. But in
these times we all lock our
doors. The black community
doesn’t trust the white com
munity. You cannot determine
what someone will do to you
because of what someone else
has done.”
Maryl Walters of the Chris
tian Science Board of Leader
shipin St. Louis, another guest
speaker at the forum took a
more spiritual approach tothe
race relations problems.

will be open to the public, will
be held on the eighth floor in
the commission chamber of the
municipal building located at
530 Greene Street.
