Paine College named
as beneficiary
A man whose closest connection
with Paine College was his sister,
whose college education he helped
pay for, named Paine College as a
beneficiary of his estate when he
died in 1978.
Cleveland Harris, a native of
Lincoln County, who lived most of
his life in Waukegan, 111., willed
$9,200 to the college. The sum was
recently probated from the estate
and forwarded to the school.
Harris himself attended school
only through the fourth grade but
he was a staunch believer in
White women no guarantee
from Page 4
As a matter of fact, the
reputations of three of the more
prominent women in power in the
Western world could indicate the
precise opposite. I am referring
here to Prime Minister Margaret
Thatcher of Great Britain,
Associate Justice Sandra Day
O’Connor of the U.S. Supreme
Court, and American Ambassador
to the United Nations Jean Kirk
patrick.
As long as the American
economy operates under a policy
of maximum profits and minimum
job guarantees, advances for white
women will close the door tighter
on advancements for Black men
and Black women. Intergration of
the status quo for white women
will intensify competition at the
top, instead of opening up advan
tages for Blacks as a class.
If white women, thankful to
white males for their new status,
join with them to maintain the
system like it is, then it would be
far better for Blacks if white
women were not the recipients of
this new generosity.

education, and financially assisted
his sister, Mrs. Jennie Garnett,
while she attended summer
sessions at Paine from 1945 to
1950. Mrs. Garnett is a retired
teacher from Lincolnton.
Harris was once described as
“gentle and quiet, daily helping
people and giving of himself and
his meager income.” He was an
active member in several civic
organizations in Waukegan, in
cluding the NAACP, the YMCA,
and the Urban League, which
awarded him the “Outstanding
Citizen’s Award” in 1974.
We must drill into our minds
and souls the fact that progress is
not automatic. Just because one
group moves up does not guaran
tee that another group will move
up, unless the interests of those
competing groups conincide.
Genuine advancement must
come from the bottom-up, rather
than thetop-down. Accordingly,
we must accelerate and intensify
our efforts to mobilize the masses
of Black and white workers to
recognize their common economic
interests.
We must attempt to educate
white women to the fact that since
Blacks will accept nothing less than
full equality, racial harmony so
beneficial to all citizens can only
be attained by joining in the
struggle for true equality for all.
If the selection of Ferraro can
signal a new dedication to the bat
tle for full employment in this
country, to a new drive for sharing
the wealth and extending the
boundaries of opportunity, then
her ascendancy can become a
shining miliestone in the eternal
march toward progress.
To thank Kool and the Gang for
their support, the Big Brothers and
Sisters Organization of Tucson,
Arizona, recently presented Kool
and his cohorts with an award.

Black banks
form consortium
In a unique example of how
Black institutions can be mutually
supportive of each other, eight
banks have formed a consortium
to provide a $1 million line of
credit to One of the nation’s largest
and most respected community
service organizations, the National
Urban League.
The announcement of this new
relationship was made on Wed
nesday, at the 57th Annual Con
vention of the National Bankers
Association meeting in New York
City.
The moving force behind the
establishment of the line of credit
is the Freedom National Bank of
New York City, which will serve as
the agent bank. Other banks com

Describing the move as a con

minority institutions can come
together to help one another, Tab
Buford, President. Freedom

message to our membership that
we do have a stake in enhancing
the status of our own institutions,
and in so doing it makes sense
from both a social and business
perspesctive”.
John E. Jacob, President of the
NUL, applauded the move as “a
clear example of corporate respon
sibility at its finest.”

centrated combination of pure natural
plant extracts, herbs and special

dition, revitalize, cleanse, moisturize
and fortify the hair.
The conditioners make hair healthy,
well conditioned and provides
nourishment. Such as, Placenta, a
protein for hair structuring and
building. The UV Light absorber helps
in preventing hair from turning red
and from color fading by screening out
harmful solar rays. This is why Black
