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.

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.

Describing the move as a con crete demonstration of how minority institutions can come together to help one another, Tab Buford, President. Freedom National Bank, said, “it sends a 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.” Black and Glow representative . . x xx 42? x Aw/? xx u 51 ■ ■ « rv ■ 4H t . i J I■ I SSBt V iMh.
