(JORDAN) broke through her interpreters. Thereafter, to her
audiences, she would be a myth of their own creating, an institution,
a legend accountable to their pre-judgement. Thereafter, she would

Other pleasureable experiences were: Walking again through the first
floor of Jubilee Hall where once I lived while a student at Fisk
University. Even great changes on the campus could not entirely re-
move old memories. Seeing the great and greatly famous oil painting
of the original Jubilee singers painted in England at Queen Victoria’s
command once the focal point in the interior of Memorial
Chapel and now on the north wall of the Appleton Room in Jubliee
Hall failed to obliterate memories of Christmas breakfast by candle
light in the dining room (now a room used for social affairs .and
on that particular evening being readied for the 50th birthday
party for Pres. Leonard) or choir concerts by the Mozart Society in
the chapel. Dinner with EDITH WORK, widow of tire composer
JOHN WORK and PEARL CRESWELL whose husband is
busier than ever since his retirement as comptroller at Fisk 
among other volunteer duties such as president of the Nashville
Board Of Education; dinner in the home of DRS. JAMIE and DR.
MCDONALD WILLIAMS along with JAMIE’S former roomate
at Wilberforce (Central State) MARTHA ANDERSON, Seattle,
who is presently employed by the Labor Department in quality
control, BENNIE ARRADONDO, Dallas, who with FLOYD
DAKIL'S orchestra will be featured at Ziegfield's next week and the
“Mother’’ COLEMAN and WILLIAMS who helped prepare the
dinner and who were among those present. JAMIE’S mom is 87
and MAC’S mom is 98.1 felt jaded and old by comparison.

Well all good things must come to an end .so it was back to

Sharing: Nearly 600 people attended the $100.00 a plat dinner at the
Palmer House, to hear historian JOHN HOPE FRANKLIN praise the
annual fund-raising effort (estimated at $40,000) to kick off the
campaign for the Neediest Families Christmas Fund in Chicago. DR.
FRANKLIN, a University of Chicago professor, said: “It is clear that
the public government is responsible for the welfare of its citizens....
Government will have to be responsible for millions if the economy
continues to spawn unemployment at the rate of 7 to 12 percent
for the country as a whole and 25 to 45 percent for young black
males. A national tradition of community humaneness which is not
the exclusive possession of the rich and the mighty has led to in-
creasing public awareness and participation in such fund drives. He
called the sensitivity of the people to human needs, as epitomozed
by the Neediest Family Christmas Fund, the strength of the United
States more (important) than our natural resources, more than the
talents of the population.”
