Boggs is the only accredited
Black prep school in the
country. The school is located
30 miles south of Augusta.
There are 155 students
enrolled.
“Echoes of a Dream” is a
moving experience in Black
pride and Black history, which
was bom in a senior English
class in response to the August
1975 Ebony Magazine articles
on “Should Blacks Celebrate
Page 6
the Bicentennial ?” Their
answer was a resounding yes!
The program featured slave
songs such as “Steal Away”,
and “Deep River.” It moved
through the history of Black in
America in dance, poetry
versions of Robert Hayden’s
“Runggate” and Sterling
Brown’s “Strong Men”.
After creating “Echoes of a
Dream” in August, Boggs
Academy was featured in
Ebony’s Magazine’s October
issue.
Lincoln Heights, the largest all-black incor
porated municipality in the U.S., is a suburb of
Cincinnati where Procter & Gamble’s world
wide headquarters are located. Lincoln Heights
residents are proud of their city; so the mayor
asked Procter & Gamble to help them tell their
story. The result: ‘ Lincoln Heights Doin' It."
That’s the name of a book designed, writ
ten. named, and produced by a group of Lin
coln Heights teen-agers, with the help of a
grant from Procter & Gamble and volunteer su
pervision by a P&G art director, Samuel Ross.
Doin' lt" is a collection of biographical
sketches about people who grew up in Lincoln
Heights and have now "made it," including
a well-known black poet, doctor, basketball
coach, and others.
The booklet was distributed throughout
Lincoln Heights to homes, schools, and librar
ies. It has fostered a new sense of pride in the
community and is helping motivate young peo
ple toward responsible careers.
"Lincoln Heights Doin' It" was just one way
that P&G employees put affirmative action into
action.
