All of the royalties from the single will go to feed the people in Africa. The project was put together by Ken Kragen, manager of such stars as Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie. Quincy Jones served as musical director and Harry Belafonte is spokesman for the group. The singers on “We Are The World” include Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder, Dionne Warwicke, Tina Turner, Diana Ross, Bruce Springsteen, The Pointer Sisters, Bette Midler, Willie Nelson, Hall & Oats, Huey Lewis and the News, Billy Joel, Two civil rights groups to use same initials in titles WASHINGTON—A federal ap peals court ruled last week that two civil rights groups can each use the initials NAACP in their titles. The ruling by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia settles the longstan ding dispute over the similarity of names between the NAACP and the NAACP Legal Defense & Education Fund Inc. “These two great organizations, like brilliant but quarreling family members, must continue to share the NAACP initials with which they were born,” Judge David ■■' -fiRHEn bSHBkW &hk <«i l W | iR.fIdHL jMhHk st Bv&«B BL,- *• ' >■! sET a » * >?. •%&* jfl ■ H fl ■?*' • J?

Among those easily recognizable are Singing for the Smokey Robinson, Al Jarreau, Cindy Lauper, Dan Aykroyd, Lin dsey Buckingham, James Ingram, Kim Carnes, Bod Dylan, Ray Charles, Jackie Jackson, Randy Jackson, Marlon Jackson, Latoya Jackson, Tito Jackson, Wayion Jennings, Sheila E., Jeffrey Osborne and Paul Simon. “We Are The World” is expec ted to be released in March along with possibly an album. The album will contain previously un published cuts from various ar tists. Also in the works is a video of the historic recording. Quincy Jones, who was nervous about the session, said his biggest worry was getting everyone together. “It could have been a night mare. I have trouble getting one artist in the studio, let alone 45.” He was also concerned because, just a few hours before the recor ding session, Stevie Wonder was still on the East Coast. “They all came as one,” Quincy Bazelon wrote. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People was founded in 1909 to promote racial equality in the United States. In 1936, the association’s board of directors organized a national defense fund to raise money to finance civil rights litigation. The spinoff organization called the NAACP Legal Defease & Educational Fund Inc. does not lobby, which allows con tributors to receive tax deductions for their donations. Julius Chambers, director-coun cil of legal fund, said the ruling “vindicates our position that we were entitled to use the name that we have used over the past 45 years.” The dispute between the two organizations began when the parent NAACP had to give per mission for use of the initials in order to gain a certificate of incor poratnon under New York law for the new organization. The Legal Defense Fund, as the legal arm of the NAACP was known, was a subsidirary until 1957, when it split off for tax reasons. After efforts to have the defense fund change its name, the NAACP in 1979 voted to withdraw its per -4 mission for the use of the initials. In 1982, the association sued to win exclusive rights to use the initials, and won in federal district court. But, reversing that ruling, Bazelon held that there was a “mutual agreement” to the legal defense fund’s “continued use of the NAACP initials as an indepen dent organizaton.” He ordered a lower court to dismiss the NAACP’ssuit.

They all came as one person, everyone was very cooperative. It went very smooth,” Quincy said. Jones thought he might have some problems when he had to decide who would sing solos and who would sing the chorus. Among the soloists were Lionel Richie, Michael Jackson, Willie Nelson, and Bruce Springsteen. According to an observer, most of the artists at the session seemed to be very excited about working with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles. “It was the most magical evening I have ever seen, or will ever see,” Kragen said. At one point in the evening, the recording room became silent when two women from Ethiopia NEW YORK CITY COMMISSIONER of Correc tions Jacqueline McMickens (right) receiving prestigious Building Brick Award from Aliene S.

At KNBC, he became a week day sports caster in June, 1973, and, in December, 1976, he was appointed the station’s sports director, remaining in that post un til July, 1980. Gumbel had first worked for NBC Sports in the fall of 1975 as a co-host of the network’s National Football League pre-game show. By January of 1982, he not only came in to thank the artists for everything they were doing. Before finishing, the two women simply broke down and cried and uttered, “Thank you. Thank you.” The immediate precedent for USA for Africa and “We Are The World” was “Do They Know It’s Christmas?,” the single recorded by a group of top British musicians organized by singer Bob Geldof under the name Band Aid. The single has sold an estimated seven million copies worldwide, with all profits targeted for distribution in Ethiopia. Harry Belafonte, whose idea it was to get the project going, said it was sad that the situation in Africa ever existed. He hesitated before continuing. “I didn’t want to say this, but unfortunately, death among peoples of color is an accepted state. If the people over there were of another color there would have been a much swifter response to the situation.” Belafonte said. have decidated their lives to social change... and who have been major instruments in the field of human rights and whose work for social justice reflects the best qualities of humanity.” Commissioner McMickens was cited for her outstanding achievements in the field of criminal justice and her distinguished civic and community service. had become mat program’s fixture as its uiuy uosi, out aiso had become the host for NBC Sports’ coverage of major league baseball and NCAA championship basket ball as well as National Football League telecasts. To tell the Bryant Gumbel story during Afro-American History Month is quite apropos, for he is a success saga, a hero, an in spirational figure, a role model for the Black youth of America. He is a celebrity who wears his status well, because, to him, it comes naturally. From tho 100 Anomes Sentinel
