Blacks to celebrate heritage
By JANET MURPHY Staff Reporter
A talk by Carl Stokes, the first black mayor of a major American city, will be one of the highlights in the Black History Month this February.
"Over the past few years," she said, "the University itself has been resisted in putting on its own activities toribute to black Americans.
The national theme for the celebration is "Recognizing Afro-American History; a blueprint for the Future," Vernell Spearman, assistant director of Minority Affairs, said recently.
"We may be the only Big Eight school using the whole month to observe black history."
Spearman said she was pleased that University groups other than black organizations were involved in
sponsoring events during Black History Month. For example, SUA has planned for activities in its budget.
STOKES, former mayor of Cleveland, will be on campus Feb. 18. His presentation is sponsored by Templin Hall.
The Cosaan Dance Troupe will perform Feb. 21. This nationally known group, originally from Chicago, Africa, now performs out of New York.
Other events planned are an African Night, a gospel extravaganza and presentations on challenges in law and Haitain problems.
The month will culminate in a soul-feed dinner sponsored by the Ellsworth Hall Black Caucus.
The idea for observing black history came from the late Carter G. Woodson, Spearman said.
Woodson, an educator and the son of a former slave, started the
national observance of Negro History Week in the 1920s. He wanted it to coincide with the birthdays of Abraham Lincoln, Feb. 12, and black abolitionist Frederick Douglass, Feb. 14.
The observance was later expanded to a month.
In 1915, he founded the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History and produced the Journal of Negro History. He was a prolific writer of books and articles on black history.
Spearman said the office of minority affairs became involved in celebrating Black History Month in 1969, although black students earlier had observed the month in some ways.
She said the office has had calls from other colleges and universities asking about the events and planning of KU's Black History Month.
There will be an admission charge for some events, Spearman said.
Police reported an assault Saturday morning at the Country Kitchen Restaurant, 1503 W. 23rd St.
On the record
Pice said that at 1:45 a.m. a.m. female suspect struck Kathyn Harris, 1950 Cadet S.t., in the right side and pushed him around in the restaurant's parking lot.
The suspect caused $500 worth of damage to Harris' eyeglasses and the hearing aid attached to them, police said.
Earlier that evening, the suspect had run a stop sign at 23rd and Harper streets, scratching the Hairies car. Police said the suspect and two friends followed the Hairies to the Country Kitchen. The suspect and her friends were asked to leave for causing a disturbance in the restaurant.
The suspect was waiting at the Harrises' car when they left the restaurant. As the Harrises approached their car, the suspect blamed the accident on Kathryn Harris and pushed her to the ground.

Police said there have been no arrests because the owner and several KU students are negotiating how the students would pay for the damage.
Kanti Patel, owner of Jayhawk Motel, reported that the room was covered with glass and plastic lamps. The rooms were also beeping when the drains in the room were destroyed.
POLICE ARRESTED a 24-year-old KU student Friday and charged with larceny for stealing a book from the Jayhawk Bookstore. She was taken to Nigeria junior, put the book under his coat and carried it out of the U.S.
