Maye Ts wit brings wisdom to
book store Ts clients
By Brock Letchworth
The Daily Reflector
Friday, October 26, 2007
Lathan Tumer found comfort in
talking with Beatrice Maye
when he moved from Raleigh
to Greenville seven years ago.
As he roamed around town
mingling with different people in
the community, Tumer said it
was Maye, a retired educator,
who really sparked his interest.
oMrs. Maye has an attraction
that is so unique, ? said Tuer,
who works in student affairs at
East Carolina University.
oShe's very cosmopolitan. She
can relate to almost any subject
you want to sit down and have
a conversation about. ?
Several other people with
' Stories similar to that of Tumer
joined Maye at Barnes and
Noble Booksellers on:
NationalMarch for West
Thursday night as she signed
copies of her recently released
book oThe Wit and Wisdom of
Beatrice Maye. ? The book
that Mrs. Maye is a positive
person and that Mrs. Maye is
an avid reader who hopes she
can encourage others to read, ~
consists of a collection of
editorials written by Maye for
newspapers and magazines over
the years, With topics ranging
from religion to race relations,
Maye, 91, sajd she hopes the
book will provide a positive
. ane for anyone who reads
oThings have been so rich in my
life, ? said Maye, the first black
teacher to work at an integrated
school in Pitt County. oAnyone
who reads __ whoreadsthis book will lean
write andlivethe best if
?
possi
Dr. Earl Travathan,a local
pediatrician and longtime friend
of Maye, was the catalyst for
the book. He took the idea to
Don Edwards, owner of
Greenville Ts University Book
Exchange, and within afew
weeks the wheels were in
motion. Edwards cleared the
idea with Maye and decided to
underwrite the book.

rally is planned for Charleston,
W. Va. for Saturday, Nov 3,
The primary organizets for the
march are Black Lawyers for
Justice (BLE) and the Support
Committee for Megan Williams.
This march will be endorsed by
at least 100 Black ions,
student groups, clergy, and other

Charleston was chosen because
the state capital and federal

offenses six white career

their alleged adduction .
A pair of University Book

Parker and Charles Moore,
took on the project. The duo .

once a month for more than two
years where they gathered
clippings from scrapbooks.

attended E.B. Aycock Middle
School when Maye was a
media coordinator there. Parker
said the positivity of Maye Ts
writing is sure to make this
book Ts collection an inspiration.
oHer letters are always so
popular and so positive that we
thought it would be good to
bring it out in a collected form
for the community, ? Parker said.
oThey can see what a good,
positive role model she is, ?
Maye spent nearly 40 years in

television work locally. In 1983,
Maye was named one of the 25

Rally
in Beaufort "
Oct. 20,2007
We are here this moming
because we have found __
ourselves in a predicament that
is detrimental to the young black
youth in our community and our
county. We have too few black
teachers and black principals.
This is a major problem.
We can Tt help but look at the
famous words of the Declaration
of Independence. oWe hold
these truths to be self evident,
that all men are created equal.
_ Thatthey are endowed by their
career with certain inalienable
rights; that ae life,
happiness. ? Now with these
worlds, the authors of the
Declaration of Independence
outlined a bold vision of a nation,
in which all people would be free
and equal. More thantwo.
hundred years later, it has yet to
be achieved. Though. ?
generations of civil rights
activism have led to important
gains in legal, political, social,
employment, educational, and
other spheres, the forced
removal of the poor, the needy;
those lacking basic necessities of
life; and the enslavement of
those of African descent,
marked the beginning of a
system of racial injustice from
which ournationhasyetto
break free. While the law
opportunity in
theory, it is too often denied in
fact, This is evident by the lack "
of black principals and teachers
within our school system.
Here it is now, more than fifty
years after Brown versus the
Board of Education, many
students of color, throughout the
United States, including Beaufort
County, continue to struggle in
facial isolation. What few
blacks teachers we have
continue to struggle in racial
isolation, Some people may tell
you, oit does not matter what
color the principals and teachers
are. ? Not so. For too long, the
white culture has been dominant
because of economic power,
(money), wealth, political |
representation, and influence of
the media. It is not possible to
create ethnic identity in our
children and young adults if
there is no representation at the
educational level when young
lives are being shaped. Too
many of our youth already
struggle with family difficulties,
poverty, social problems.
Growing up in a school system
where there is no black
representation or leadership is
sending a harsh, destructive
message. .

higher percentage of school
drop-outs. This results in the
loss of a potential pool of
talented black citizens for
Beaufort County and the
American society. An
educational experience should be
a pleasant and rewarding one,
and this can happen if our
students are exposed to its fair
share of black leaders in
authority within our school .
system. Research over the past
ten years have pointed out the .
negative, detrimental affects that
a mainstream American
educational experience can have
a black American and other
minority students when there are
no role models present like
themselves. Without black: '
teachers for guidance, many of
~ our black students have
difficulties at school. Their
__ behavior is seen as disruptive
rather than an expressionof _
their own cultural styles. This®.

not be happening. It signifies
that we are losing progress and
test scores are proving that our
black youth are losing ground.
Black candidates did apply, but
were not interviewed, nor hired,
Their applications were
overlooked. We could have, and
should have had Black qualified
teachers and principals hired this
school year, Two of the
