Museum
seeks grant
By Fannie Flono
The director of the
Laney-Walker Museum has
applied to the area Community
Development Commission for a
community development block
grant.
James A. Young, III', also
founder of the museum
project, said he has been
informed by the U.S.
Department of Housing and
Urban Development that the
museum may be eligible under
the community development
block grant program if it is
incorporated as neighborhood
facility or if the existing
facility is either listed or
eligible to be listed on the
National Register of Historic
Pledges.
Young said he feels the
museum may be incorporated
as part of a neighborhood
facility. It would then be a
structure which is designed to
provide health, social,
recreation or similar services
for residents of a community.
HUD regulations regarding
the issues are included in the
government’s federal register for
August 27, 1979.
The grant would be used to
finish renovating the museum
building located at 821
Laney-Walker Blvd. About
$70,000 is needed to finish the
structure.
Nearly $20,000 has already
been invested in acquiring the
building and making changes in
it.
A Penny—Dollar Fund
raising effort was launched last
October.
The teaching museum would
house cultural materials and
artifacts of Afro-Americans in
the Central Savannah River
Area. The museum would
offer community outreach
programs in cooperation with
schools, offer resource tools in
the arts and offer studio
laboratories.

Where is Blackness?
What happened to Black Power
Where have all the bro man’s gone
Where is the mighty hour
When we sang the blackness song?
Did red fade to pink
Did black fade to gray
Did green return to the fields
Where our forefathers had to pay?
Where are the once uplifted voices
Is there really an even share
Trying to say it’s righteous
Is there still a small care?
What happened to the sisters
Why they messin’ wit the man
Were it not once together
Why the dropped hand?
Where is the down home closiness
What happened to the Love?
Did it fade with Martin
Flew like the Great White Dove?
Where is it? What happened?
Thought it was for the cause!
Had a good thing ’most of the top
Then it took a pause!
Try and grasp it while in mid air
Can’t stand alone for long.
Let’s do it now for each other
Before we all go wrong!

A lady in the land
There’s a lady in this land
Whom I truly Admire.
She owned the man who had the plan
We must not let retire.
With a backbone of blackness,
A God given-strength
He was proud to walk around
With an uplifted fist-clenched!
To the lady of that once fine lass
Tell a hard and glorious task.
She carried on in devotion and pride
What her man never once, tried to hide.
With renewed inspirations every day,
Thanks, Mrs. Coretta Scott King!
For- your every effort will forever pay
Let us “Lift Every Voice and Sing!”
