INTRODUCING
NEWS IN
THE MOTHER
TONGUE
For Black people, the mother tongue is the
same all over the country. It’s the unique
way we have of expressing ourselves.
That’s one of the reasons the National
Black Network saw the need for a
national Black news service.
What do we call Black news? It’s simply
news reported by Black people, edited
by Black people, and affecting the lives of
Black people.
That’s the National Black Network—a vital
communications link between Black
communities everywhere.
It’s a bet that when you listen.to an NBN
station, you’ll know where it’s coming from.
After all, it’s carrying your news.

LT. KENZIE BRYANT, JR.
Most men strive to win the
heart of one woman . . . ILT
Kenzie Bryant, Jr., Company
Commander of the WAC
Student Company, Ist
Battalion, U.S. Army
Southeastern Signal School,
has won the heart of a whole
female Company since he took
command in August of this
year. Not only has he won the
heart of his female company,
but according to company
members the moral and esprit
de corps improved greatly with
the arrival of Lt. Bryant.
“1 really like my job, it’s
very rewarding. To my
surprise, I have met no
antagonism because I am a
male. I expected some of the
girls to resent me; they are so
used to being commanded by a
woman. 1 try to treat the
women like soldiers and they
seem to respond with
responsibility and respect. 1
don’t think they act any
different with me than if had a
female commander. Women
come in the Service with more
education than most of the
men and many times they
make better soldiers,” Bryant
said.
At one time it worried the
young officer that maybe the
girls wouldn’t come and see
him about some of their
personal problems, because he
was a man. He worried that
these problems might go
unattended. However, he now
feels this is no longer a
problem. “I have the advantage
of having female cadre
members,” he admits, “and if a
girl is shy she might prefer to
talk to another woman.”
PVT Wava Wiley states that
even if LT Bryant is a man, she
will go to see him about all her
problems. “He is so nice and
helps us a lot.”
“The way he talks to us no
other company commander
has,” says another young
private, Karen Powers. “He

you.
More praise about the young
male CO, comes from ISG Eva
Morris, who has seen many
companies and many different
company commanders in her
Army career. “1 think this
company is now the best in the
United States,” she beams. The
morale is high.”
On some G1 nights one can
see Bryant in the barracks
helping out. He fixes buffers,
helps carry heavy things and is
generally around for advice and
assistance. “He treats us so
great,” says another Cadre
member PFC Suzanne Sypert.
“I feel like a professional
soldier now; most men in the
Army don’t treat us they way
he does.”
LT Bryant, who married his
childhood sweetheart, loves his
job and his life. He is the type
of man that protrudes
confidence and a sense of
humor. Originally from
Enfield, North Carolina, he
entered the Army right after
his college graduation in 1970.
He had majored in business,
but wanted to do something
quite different with his life.
After finishing the Signal
Officer Basic Course at the
Southeastern Signal School, he
was for a short time the XO of
the 6th Battalion. “From there
I went on to the Primary
Rotary Wing Flight Course at
For Wolters, Texas and then
the Advanced Flight Course at
For Rucker, Alabama. I love to
fly,” he adds. After a tour of
duty in Vietnam, Bryant came
back to the Signal School.
“When I came here I made a
long list of the things that had
to be done and improved in the
company,” he says. “It’s a long
list, but it’s getting done. By
the way, I think the chairs in
the dateroom should be
covered with herculon, don’t
you?”
