Panel discusses empowerment of African Americans

Women speak at forum
The absence of fear is what will empower African-American women in the '90s, said Sharon Baucom, Kansas City area physician, at a panel discussion last night at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Baucom and two other professional African-American women spoke at "Black Women: Taking Charge in the '90s," a program sponsored by the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center.
"I've had many circumstances in my life that made me stand alone, and I realized the power came from not being afraid." Baucm said.
The program, attended by about 25 people, kicked off the center's programs for African-American history month.
Barbara Ballard, director of the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, said the program gave people
an opportunity to see what African-American professional women encounter and showed positive role models to other African-American women.
Cynthia Lartique, Kansas City architectural engineer, and Dorthy Pennington, professor of African-American studies and communications, were also panel members.

"My older sister did not have the same options when she went through college that I had," she said. "And you have even more opportunities than we had. Power comes through all the different options you have."
Exercising the power that has been gained is as important as obtaining it, Baurcom said.
"If you don't know that you deserve the power, no one else will respect it when you have it," she said.
