Banquet honors 6 teachers
Bv Buck Tavlor
Robert Caldwell remembered participating in track while attending an all-Black grade school in Pittsburgh during the 1920s. However, when he started high school his coach's team were not allowed to play because of their skin color.
Caldwell, who received a public service award from the Center for Black Leadership Development and Research last night, said that he could not participate in high-school track events until he was a junior.
Kansan staff writer
During that time he dreamed about competing in the Kansas Relaxs at the University of Kansas.
"I practiced like the devil to get to those relays, and after I got to college, I just still kept practicing," he said. "In the relays I got third in the hurdles, but, you know, tonight I'm here to get an award, and I didn't practice a bit."
The banquet, culminating Black history month, was presented by the center, which researches social problems in the Black community. About 150 people attended.
Caldwell, now a member of the Kansas Teachers Hall of Fame and former major of Salina, was one of six Kansas educators to receive awards at a banquet in Salt Lake City in 1978 for 38 years before his retirement in 1978.
Jacob Gordon, professor of African and African
American studies and executive director of the center, said research included problems in education, crime and health issues.
"Statistics show that we have more Black males in prison than in college right now," he said. "We wanted to use this program as a vehicle to encourage Black students to go into the field of education."
Gordon said choosing the award recipients was difficult because of the large number of nominees. Each school district in the state was asked to nominate outstanding Black educators.
One teaching award recipient, Elizabeth Ann Sanders, said she was humbled by being chosen from such a talented pool of teachers. Sanders teaches English at Shawnee Mission Northwest High School in Shawnee.
"I'd like to accept this award on behalf of all the hundreds of thousands of teachers who are still out there or have been out in the trenches hoping to make a difference in this very troubled world," she said.
In his keynote address, William Foster, director of bands at Florida A&M University, stressed the need to strive for excellence in the education of Black students. He educators needed a deep sense of wisdom and vision.
"We hope you'll all go into action now," he said. "It is important that individual students accept the need and desire for high standards of academic excellence and achievement."
