Mrs. Henry was first
approached by Carolyn
Crawford of the National
Black Mayors Conferen
ce to compose the poem
of tribute, once it was
learned that there were no
appropriate poems
already in print.
Mrs. Henry’s poem,
“We Can, We Did, and
We Will” was read
during a special luncheon
honoring Black women in
public office by con
ference president, Mayor
Johnny Ford of
Tuskegee, Ala. The lun
cheon held in the nation’s
capitol last November,
featured former
Congresswoman Shirley
■Chisholm as kekynote
We Did, We Can, and We Will
Out of Africa’s dark earth we came!
Queens and rulers over the same—
Till they stole our bodies but not our minds
As we dreamed of victory and bade our time.
Leaders arose out of our ranks.
Though we were bound by chains and
shanks
Women who studied, planned and prayed
Waiting for a chance to lead the way.
Many there were, though few are named,
Who blazed the trail and staked a claim—
Paving the way for a Black Woman’s fame.
They laid the foundation and paid the price.
They were “those who did” at a sacrifice.
Finally freedom came and the vote
But chances of being elected seemed remote.
First we were Black and a woman, too.
This combination would never do!
There were those who did and others who
could.
Break down both barriers as we knew they
would.
Rosa was a catalyst that caused a spark
To embed courage and faith in the Black
Woman’s heart.
Then Barbara came, Shirley and Yvonne
Opening doors for others, like Eleanor
Holmes.
We were representatives, congress women,
and ran for president.
Councilwomen and mayors-and we’ve only
made a dent!
These are “those who can” the challenge
meet.
There are others to come, some yet unborn.
Who will look at our history and carry it on.
Beautiful Black Women, brilliant and
strong.
Leaders appointed or elected to fill
The shoes of those who did, can and will!

disturbing “payroll” in

portant NAACP person.
You see, “WHITE
DOG” is an expensive
movie about a nice
pedigreed German
shepherd master-trained
to attack Black people.
That’s why it has that
title. Young KRISTY
McNICHOL stars, old
gray-bearded BURL
IVES co-stars, and then,
there’s good-01-boy
PAUL WINFIELD as the
Brother whose presence
in the picture is to retrain
the do so he won’t act
that way anymore.
The movie’s director,
SAMUEL FULLER, says
the film is a condem
nation of bigotry, and
Sam is angry with the
distributors for copping
out to what he regards as
minority meddling that
“WHITE DOG” could
“cause/provoke unrest. ’
The movie’s producers
have disclosed that when
they decided to make
“WHITE DOG” and the
local NAACP spokesper
sons “trusted” them,
they payrolled a couple of
Black consultants to
guide them while filming
was underway.
Since then, the com
pleted movie production,
released by Paramount
Pictures, was tested for a
week in Detroit but, sud
denly disappeared... Ap
parently it was put on a
leash out behind the
barn. But good old
“WHITE DOG” turned
up again on a Los
Angeles cable TV net
work a month or so ago,
prompting NBC-TV to
buy it for $2.5 million
and announce a February
network airing. The pun
dits wise to Hollywood’s
ways say this movie was
intended to attract all of
