Commentary
Make me your queen-
Dear Black Mao,
About last nlgM, I am tempted to apologize for angrily attacking
you over the frustrating plight of Black women, but for some reason
I cant aak your forgiveness.
The -frustration stems from you and thousands of other Black men
who foolishly believed vicious and destructive propaganda hurled
against Black women. Consequently, we were unjustly stereotyped as
monsters, stalking the earth. Intending to de-ball the-precious ego
of toe Black man;
What you don't realize, my love, Is that Black girls are trained
from birth to be Independent. That Independence ls not to castrate
and humiliate you, but to support ourseTves and give us strength so
that we can make It on our own, If necessary. ♦» .
We have been labeled stupid and not together, but we're Intelligent
enough to realize Black men seem to care nothing for our welfare.
But, even with these facts glaring In ou{ faces, we seek the positive
In Black men. ,
If a man ls strong, he can appreciate a strong Independent woman
and have a beautiful relationship. A weaker man will criticize and
detest his woman's strength or independence. Undoubtedly, he will
crush her Into the category of mean, evil "Black Bitch." This same
man never thinks of offering love, support and security that the Blacfk
d discover that he possessed God's

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
'Student was misquoted'
Editor:-
With reference to the article
entitled "Students evaluate Black
Studies program'(Uhuru.Oct.4,
1974) let It suffice to say that the
student who offered the construc¬
tive criticism of the Black racul-
{TRCVICANAun-
ty was misquoted.
Although he presented a num¬
ber of positive aspects of the
Black Studies Program (which
were, not printed) the misinter¬
pretation of the question raised
on his part was blown out of pro¬
portion ... Does the pursuit of a
higher degree by members ,of the
Black faculty Impair their com¬
petency? A'S a student who has
enrolled In a number of the
courses offered through Black
Studies I can say without reser¬
vation that It does not,   .
I would like to say that the con¬
structive criticism offered
•should not be distorted to the det¬
riment of those concerned. I
strongly feel that the Black fac¬
ulty should not be offended.

Preparations for Second Black and
African Arts Festival are underway
preparations are now well un¬
der way for the Second Black and
African Festival of Arts anrfCul-
ture which is scheduled to open
on November 22, 1975, In Lagos.
It will last for about a month.
More^.than 70 countries have
registered to participate and 20
of them have paid their registra¬
tion fee of $10,000.
The festival's organizing com¬
mittee has stated that all coun¬
tries wishing to participate must
pay their registration dues by
December 31, and lodge details'
of their entries and accommoda¬
tion and transport requirements
with the festival secretariat In
Lagos. The chalrmanof theCom-
mlttee, Chief Anthony Enaharo,
disclosed that many countries
that  wanted to participate were

Chief Enaharo said that he did
not want races not qualified by
either culture or colour to be in¬
jected into the festival. About
25,000 performers will take part,
and several hundred thousand
visitors are expected. The Ni¬
gerian Federal Houslng-Authorlty
hopes to complete 15,000 housing
units In Lagos by September,.
1975, to accommodate the par¬
ticipant's; after the event, the-
units will be used as low cost
houses for workers.
Construction work ls well ad¬
vanced on the building of the huge

Theatre, which ls being con-'
structed by a Bulgarian building
company. Work has also begun on
the construction of a 9m". nalra
road system leading to the festi¬

festival will exceed BOm. nalra,
nearly all of which will be met by
