The Juneteenth Heritage Festival:

The Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame has come of age. This fall the organi-
zation, dedicated to preserving the musical roots of jazz, blues and gospel
legends who spring from Oklahoma soil, will move into the $2 million
expansion of the Greenwood Cultural Center.
Last Friday, the founder, Sen. Maxine Homer, was enshrined as a Tulsa
Press Club Headliner, one of the more prestigious and celebrated recogni-
tion ceremonies in the city. The membership is strictly limited to individu-
als whose contributions to the community have made Tulsa the “shining
star” it is today.
The state senator was honored with Chester Cadieux, founder of the
QuikTrip stores. Some of the recipients who have been certified as
Headliners in the past are: former Mayor Robert LaFortune; Joe Williams, home, marriage is the pathway to
fathers’ responsibilities.

One Has It, Or He Doesn’t
NEW YORK — A sense of rhythm is not innate, but developed through
one’s exposure to music in childhood, says Ernest Brown, associate professor of
music at Williams College (Williamstown, Mass.)
Brown says people who don’t possess rhythm exist in all cultures. Rhythm
can also be learned later in life.

avenue annually and Tulsans scattered across the land plan vacations
around coming home for the event. The celebration officially began
Wednesday with a black-tie induction ceremony and banquet.
This year’s ceremony will honor five legends, three of whom are
Oklahoma natives. Oscar Pettiford, Okmulgee, was influential in establish-
ing the double bass as an important jazz solo instrument. His music has
influenced generations of jazz musicians. After beginning with the Ernie
Fields band in Tulsa, he made an international name for himself as co-band
leader with Dizzy Gillespie, and with Duke Ellington and Woody Herman
bands. He was an early practitioner of “be-bop,” that was later to emerge as
“jazz.” He died in Copenhagen, Denmark, in I960.
Johnny Rogers from Tulsa is a brother to Mabie Rice. In her own right,
his sister is notable throughout Tulsa for promoting the arts and principally
recognized for reviving the Juneteenth celebration in the 1960s. It was then
called the Black Arts Festival. Rogers, well-known among musicians, jazz
and blues enthusiasts, held an unmatched style as a guitarist that was musi-
cally pristine with an incredible, distorted tone, according to biographers.
Marshall Royal, Sapulpa, is best known as Count Basie’s lead saxophon-
ist Bom in 1912, he played violin, guitar as well as reed instruments. He
performed professionally at 13. He also played with Lionel Hampton, Eddie
Heywood and Bill Berry’s bands.
The Living Legends Award will be presented to Milt Hinton. He played
with Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Louis Armstrong, Cab Calloway and oth-
ers, and is credited as being among the forerunner of the jazz bass players.
Mahalia Jackson will be inducted as an honorary member of the
Oklahoma Jazz Hall of Fame. With her dazzling feats in gospel music, she
was its first superstar.
Two stages of performers will open the festival, beginning at 6:30 p.m.
on Thursday. Featured are the Bosman Twins and The Count Basie
Orchestra. Tulsa pro-basketball great Wayman Tisdale will bring his 5th
Quarter band on Friday and there will be an appearance of Norman Brown.
Tulsa’s own Flash Terry and the Uptown Blues Band will I eak in on
Saturday with Joe Louis Walker and The Boss Talkers. Local, re gional and
teenage talent will be featured nightly. All performances are free and open
to the public.
Music history does not often speak of the contributions of African-
Americans to the popular cultural of jazz, gospel and blues. African-
Americans were the most important element in the creation of jazz.
Oklahoma artists were major performers in developing this music, consid-
ered the only purely “American” art form.
The talent growing from the farms and fields of Oklahoma is one of this
country’s best-kept secrets. That will change. Sen. Homer has said it would.
And that woman means what she says 100 percent of the time.
Remember the history, and then let’s boogie!©
Don Ross is a former vice president and general manager of The
Oklahoma Eagle and is now an Oklahoma State Representative.
From The Final Call
Millions Won In Dog Bite Suit
LOS ANGELES—The City of Los Angeles agreed to set aside a staggering
$3.6 million to victims of LA Police Department dog bites as settlement of a
lawsuit The suit was brought five years ago against the department by civil
rights groups, including the NAACP.
Predominately African-Americans and Latinos in the suit were victims of
excessive force as a result of being attacked. One man yelled to police he was
ready to surrender but the dog was allowed to attack him twice.
The overwhelming majority of those bitten by LAPD dogs were unarmed
suspects; one was a woman in her 70s.

Whites’ Presence Solicited
MATTESON, ILL. — An advertising campaign has been launched to
encourage affluent Whites to move into its city limits. Despite the town’s grow-
ing African-American population, village trustee Denise Clemons said the drive
concerned economics, not racism. Some villagers disagree.
Located 40 miles south of Chicago, the town’s population is now 48 percent
African-American.

Haitians Trained For Mounties
REGINA, SASKATCHEWAN — One hundred Haitians are being trained
to become policemen at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police training academy.
In Haiti, the word "police” often conjures scenes of brutality, torture and fear.
Many of the young men training to be police are themselves torture victims.
Some would like to return to their poverty-stricken homeland to make it a better
place. These trainees were recruited in the United States and Canada. Each has
signed a contract for three years, but does not know where he will be assigned or
wnat his wages will be.
It has been discovered that most of the Haitians cannot swim. Haitians rarely
make their living from the sea, and going to the beach is not popular. The train-
ing academy is three months long.

Florida Gets 1st Black Sheriff
JACKSONVILLE — Nat Glover, 52, was recently elected Florida’s first
Black sheriff. After retiring from his position as a police director, Glover said he
did not want to be “a divisive component to this community,” and "prayed for
an answer.” His campaign message was about bringing together the police and
community to fight crime.
“I have never been prouder in all my life to say I am a citizen of Jacksonville,
Florida,” Glover said after winning.

Eighth O J. Juror Ousted
LOS ANGELES — The eighth juror was removed from the OJ. Simpson
murder case recently. The reason for removal was not made public. This left a
pool of alternate jurors numbering four.
New evidence presented in the trial was socks found near Simpson's bed,
allegedly stained with both Simpson’s and the victims’ blood.
On June 8, court was excused early because one juror became ill after view-
ing autopsy pictures of the victims. She gestured upon leaving with a “time-out”
signal. Judge Lance Ito has banned two reporters for talking in the courtroom
and others from the audience for eating and chewing gum.
National Newsbriefs are taken from a variety ofmulticultural periodicals.

Elders Gives Personal Glimpse
PHOENIX — Dr. M. Joycelyn Elders, speaking to a NAACP-sponsored
award dinner recently, told the audience she was a college freshman before she
made her first visit to a doctor. At 15, she was awarded a full college scholar-
ship, and upon graduation at age 18, she entered the U.S. Army as a first lieu-
tenant. She attended medical school on the GJ. Bill.
Elders told the dinner audience that “our children are within an ocean of
drugs, homicide and violence. As a result, the community safety net has been
replaced with a dragnet” She also emphasized the importance ofeducation.

moted to that level of excellence.
Sen. Homer was honored for her energy in making the Oklahoma Jazz
Hall of Fame not only a reality, but one of the premier organizations pro- nity organizers, clergy members and

This Week's Topic: Protein
Q. I am confused about how much meat I have to eat
so that I get enough protein. How much protein is neces-
sary to stay healthy? Tina, Tulsa.
A. According to the Nutritional Board of the Sciences, the
protein intake of the average American is exceedingly higher
than what most people need. John McDougall, M.D., in his
book, “A Challenging Second Opinion,” stales that the aver- _ _
age American needs only about 20 grams of protein a day. e'Tar’^‘-e0P
Most Americans consume more than 100 grams daily. Dr. ouitvan
McDougall further states that is virtually impossible to design a diet too low in
protein when eating unprocessed starches and vegetables.
Beans provide nearly as much protein as meat and are much lower in fat and
calories. One cup of cooked beans contains an average of 12-25 grams of protein.
The American dietary challenge of this decade is not in concerning ourselves with
excessive protein intake, but rather in decreasing the consumption of animal pro-
tein, the mineral calcium is leached from the storage banks of the bones into the
bloodstream for evacuation through the kidneys. Calcium can become embedded
in the fatty substances which dog the blood vessels, and then set and harden like
cement — causing hardening of the arteries. Calcium can also harden in the gall
bladder and kidneys, manufacturing stones.
Additionally, the combination of animal fat and calcium pollutes the small
intestine, inhibiting the absorption of nutrients, thereby starving the cellular struc-
ture, The colon becomes congested and sluggish, effecting proper bowel elimina-
tion and creating a condition of blood toxicity. This condition manifests itself over
time as disease.
Dr. T. Colin Campbell, a nutritional biochemist and director of the 1990
Cornell University Study, one of the largest and most comprehensive research
programs undertaken on the relationship between diet and disease, has directly
challenged the American dietary dogma of the 1990s.
Findings indicate that overconsumption of animal protein is a direct cause of
fragile and weak bones, called osteoporosis.
So the answer to your question is don’t worry about your protein intake
and I would recommend changing your diet from an animal-based to a plant-
based diet.
