to give percentage
of profits to civil
rights organizations
to advance the dreams of
Black and oppressed
people to participate in
the marketplace as prin
cipal participants and
owners, and not just con
sumers, and to safeguard
and protect those advan
cements already achieved
in the pursuit of hap
piness for present and
future generations,’’ said
Dill worth.
“Do, Inc., along with
other Black businesses,
would not even exist if it
were not for the leader

process provided through
the SCLC, the job
training provided by the
National Urban League,
the legal assistance
provided by the NAACP,
and the inspiration and
reminder of commitment
provided by the Martin

said Oldham at the
signing ceremony.
Mrs. Coretta Scott
King called the covenant
“A blessing” because
many do not realize how
hard it is for our
organizations to exist on
very limited budgets
when often we have no
knowledge of where
future funding lies for
our continued existence.

In 1920 and 1940,
Mulzac was asked to
share command of the
old coastal steamer
YARMOUTH for the
newly organized, Black
owned and operated
Black Star Line. Though
technically not the
vessel’s master, he helped
command the ship for
two coastal trips before
the company failed.
Between 1922 and
1940, Mulzac was forced
to work as a cook and
steward aboard merchant
ships, despite holding a
master’s license. No
company would give a
Black man command of a
ship, or even hire a Black
as a deck officer.
However, during
World War 11, Mulzac’s
prospects improved.
With the help of two
maritime labor
organizations, the
National Maritime Union
and the International
Organization of Masters,
Mates and Pilots, Mulzac
was given a berth as cap

five years, during which

When not at sea,
Mulzac resided in
Queens, N.Y. He retired
from the mariner’s trade
to the West Indies for a
time, but returned to live
in Westbury, Long

death in Feb, 1971.
Mulzac wrote an

gets minority
recruiting $$
The University of
South Carolina-Aiken
recently received foun
ding to assist in minority
recruitment from the
South Carolina Com
mission on Higher
Education.
Associate Dean of
Students, Dr. Alfred L.
Reed, said the university
was awarded SBSOO for
the four month recruit
ment program.
One full-time recruiter
is working until the end
of June with three student
recruiters. They are con
tacting area high school
counselors, seeking out
interested minority
students and are coor
dinating a mobil ad
missions office.
A van has been on a
roving schedule
throughout the area,
stopping at shopping cen
ters, recreation facilities,
etc. “Our staff is talking
to students, giving
assistance with financial
aid froms and aiding in
other questions per
taining to their ap
plication.
“This program is a
needed outreach service
to area citizens. We are
aware that many people
have work schedules that
prohibit them form
coming to the campus,
therefore we want to take
this service to the com
munity,” Dr. Reed said.
According to Reed, the
South Carolina Com
mission on Higher
Education is evaluating
another proposal from
his department that
would fund a minority in
ternship program.
The difference between
a handicapped person
and a person with a han
dicap is that a person
with a handicap can go
and and live a productive
and creative life, because
that person has learned to
adjust.
