Don't Forget The Annual Labor day Gospel Family Reunion - September 5, 1994 - Guy Smith Stadium Eastern North Carolina's Minority Voice THE 'm' VoIc EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987 WEEK OF JULY 28-AUGUST 5, 1994 BRYANT MOYE is experiencing a rewarding summer with the Greenville Tarheels Ball Team, (Greenville Parks & Recreation). A bright future is predicted for this aspiring baseball hopeful who recently pitched two no-hitter games. He is shown here with his proud father, Alonza. “A Good Man Is Hard To Find” returns to the Greenville area These words. . .“Greater is he that is in you than he thatis in the world.”. ,must have surfaced from Rev. David Payton’s subconscious when he was laughed at and ridi- culed as he embarked on a new mission—writing and producing a play, because of the misguided belief that “good” talent could only bé found in the North. Not to be éasily dissuaded, Payton pressed on with “mustard seed” faith and | gome local talent, and produced “A Good Man Is Hard To Find”. ‘With just the right blend of his own life experiences, his love of music and comedy, and his pas- sion for the Word of God, Rev. Payton came up with the perfect ingredients for his “recipe”... (“A Good Man Is Hard To Find’), The result of which is an inspirational, yet entertaining, t t provok- inig dramatization of God’s power | to heal and set free. A play that ne demonstrates how can sustain families ny 1 kat Meni ik on, unwed 8, child abuse, low self- rs 3 Now in its 3rd consecutive year of performing to sell-out audiences in major cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, D.

Encore presentation of "God's Trombones" North Carolina Aframerican Community Theatre will present an encore presentation of “God’s Trombones” on Saturday, August 13. Due to the overwhelming re- sponse to NC ACT’s outstanding performances on July 1-3, the lo- cal theater group has been asked to repeat “Trombones.” All the cast members remain the same for this one show only performance sched- uled at 8 PM at Agnes Fullilove Community School, 1615 Halifax St., Greenville. Tickets are $10 for adults $7.50 for Senior Citizens, $5 for children 12 and under, and $2.00 more at the door except for Senior Citizens. “God’s Trombones” is book of sermons penned by James Weldon Johnson originally published in 1927 . The sermons reflect upon - various events in the Bible such as Moses confronting the Egyptian Pharaoh, Jesus suffering and dy- ingat Calvary. Itis a performance about faith, living righteously, prayer and striving to please Al- mighty God. NC-ACT’s perfor- mance of “Trombones” includes spirituals, and gospel music that express the essence of each ser- mon and the purpose of the play. It is a must see for those who Housing Bill passes . with Clayton's changes to Section 515 Program The U.S. House of Representa- tives passed the Housing and Com- munity Development Act of 1994, H.R. 3838, that includes many of the changes to the Farmers Home Administration’s Section 515 Ru- ral Rental Housing program intro- duced by Representative Eva Clayton (D-N.C.). In June, Clayton responded to a report which was presented to the Agriculture Appropriations Sub- committee naming many shortfalls in the Section 515 program. Clayton submitted the bill, H.R. 4579, which reformed the program and increased funding from the proposed $30 million to $220 mil- lion. “This program is essential to the housing needs of those who can least afford decent and safe hous- ing,” said Clayton. “This program has led to the creation of more than 44,000 affordable housing units for the low and very low- income families of rural America.” The goal of the housing bill is to promote fair housing and to pro- vide consolidated homeless assis- tance programs. The legislation also reauthorizes all federal hous- ing assistance programs and (Continued on page three) ‘set for August 13 in Greenville missed it in July, and it is have-to- see-again for those who want to be renewed.

They are both working toward the same goal: to help children and their families, and both are not- for-profit corporations, but the similarities end there. “Because both Ronald McDonald House and Ronald McDonald’s Children’s Charities share an af- filiation with McDonald’s, itis easy for the public to assume we are the same,” said Stephanie Barnard, Public Relations Director for the Ronald McDonald House in Greenville. “We do have several distinct differences, however.” The Ronald McDonald Houses around the world act as a lodging, or a “home away from home” for the families of seriously ill chil- dren visiting local children’s hos- pitals. The House in Greenville primarily serves eastern North Carolina, and is called the Ronald McDonald House of Eastern North Carolina. All houses operate sepa- rately from each other, but share the same mission. delphia Eagles football player, Fred Hill and his wife, Fran, learned that their daughter, Kim, had leukemia. The Hills noticed that other families, like them, had to drive long distances to be with their sick children only to have to eat from hospital vending ma- chines and sleep in waiting room chairs, for lack of a better place to stay. Fred Hill and his football team decided to build these fami- lies a “home away from home” in Philadelphia. They teamed up with local McDonald’s owner/ operators to raise money for the purchase and restoration of a house near the hospital where families could stay. While McDonald’s helps to build Ronald McDonald Houses andcon- tributes to their operating bud- gets, they do not own or operate the Houses. In fact, each Ronald McDonald House is operated by a volunteer Board of Directors, which includes McDonald’s, hos- pital, and community representa- tives.

It didnot havemany green (trees) but there were city parks. The access to the parks and the excellent public library sys- tem enabled me to develop an in- terest in science,” said Blackmon. Blackmon also credits his el- ementary teachers who encour- aged him, particularly Grace Hobson and Emma Knox. “I had the good fortune to have very car- ing and competent elementary teachers. These individuals guided me,” Blackmon said. “They were disciplinarians.” He never deviated from his child- hood dreams. Blackmon received his terminal degree from Howard University in 1988. In 1989, he received a telephone call from Elizabeth City State University’s biology department and decided to join the faculty. “I enjoy interact- ing with students. It is my hope that in my capacity as a biology instructor at Elizabeth City State University that I can excite stu- dents about science. The future of our nation relies on our mainte- nance of a technologically sophis- ticated economy,” Blackmon said. Blackmon’s positive attitude has made a difference, according to Curtis Turnage, biology depart- ment chairman,,. “He is an excep- tionally talented person. He is com- mitted to the pursuit of research. And he is well aware of the signifi- cant of that research in the ad- vancement of new knowledge in biotechnological sciences,” Turnage said. “He demonstrates — an enthusiasm for the biological sciences that permeates in his as- sociation with students.” But although Blackmon is very involved in producing college sci- entists, he takes time to partici- pate in an area math and science POETRY CONTEST OPEN TO AREA POETS A $1,000 grand prize is being offered in a free poetry contest sponsored by Hollywood’s Famous Poets Society, open to everyone in he Greenville area. e deadline for enteringis Sep- tember 1, 1994.
