Ms. Cobbil staved an extra day in Tulsa. She visited
the Greenwood Cultural Center where she met Fai
Walker, Chuck Cissel and Frances Jordan. She also spent
time with her friend Jeannie Arradondo and her mother

The visit ended with a round of picture taking,
many hugs, thank you’s and presentations to the hostess
and other adult visitors. All received copies of "And
don't call me a racist!" This is a collection of quotes com-
piled and arranged by Ella Mazel and published by Arg-
onaut Press, 1998. Mrs. Goodwin also received an
autographed copy of "Quiet Strength authored by Rosa
Parks and Gregory Reed. Elaine Eason-Steele was the
technical editor for the book - a tiny volume of Mrs.
Parks' philosophy of love and nonviolence in pursuit of
freedom and justice for all people. Pathways To Freedom
is based on this philosophy.
Escorted by Jerry Goodwin, the visitors went to
Elmer's Barbecue for a late supper when they left Mrs.
G's. Then they went to Tahlequah tor a two night stay,
one at Sequoia H.S. and the other at the Cherokee Her-
itage Center. The focus of Pathway 2001 Travel was the
Trail of Tears. The group went to Ft. Gibson on Sunday
and to Detroit on Monday.
What they learned from the Tahlequah and Ft. Gib-
son visit is the subject of another story. But we know that
having food left over from their lunch and dinner in 1 ulsa
on Saturday provided food for thought as well as stom-
achs on their Sunday trip to Ft. Gibson. In a phone con-
versation with Jewel Hines, Lila Cobbil said the group
I leaders considered every activity as an opportunity for
learning something of value. Case in point. Having left-
overs from Wanda J's and Elmer's resulted in discussions
about hunger and scarcity; preservation of food; healthy
eating; conservation and effective utilization of resources.
And the fact that leftovers can really taste good!
All of this relates to the fact that Pathways defi-
nitely deemphasizes money and encourages thrift and

From the desk ofG./.H. (Gloria Jackson's helper):
The evening of July 21st turned out to be an unusu-
ally enjoyable one for hostess Jeanne Goodwin and her
guests, the members of Pathways to Freedom 2001. It
could have been otherwise since Mrs G. had not had her
home filled with teenagers since her own children were
growing up And the youth,(ages 11-17) had never visited
with a 98-year-old person before.
That the generation gap was narrowing was evident
early in the evening by the lively interaction between
Mrs. G. and the sixteen students that it had closed was
evident at the end of the almost two hour visit when
Krista Brown of Pittsburgh, PA expressed the sentiments
of her peers about the occasion. Krista said they had re-
ally learned from this experience how important it is to
hear the stories from their elders. Listening to Mrs G
made Krista regret that she had not heard the stories of
her 102-year-old grandmother now deceased. Krista
vowed to communicate with her 89-year-old aunt on her
return home.
The visit obviously related to the Pathways' pro-
gram theme comprised of two questions - Where I lave
You Been?" and "Where Are You Going?" Its overall goal
is to help youth learn what their elders have done in
order to understand and appreciate where they are now
so that they can effectively plan for the future. The I ath-
wavs To Freedom program is one of five offered by the
Rosa and Raymond Parks Institute for Self Development
The institute was co-founded by the revered "Mother ot
the Modern Civil Rights Movement" and her protege and
friend Elaine Eason-Steele in 1989.
Ms. Eason-Steele was among the six adults accom-
panying the teenagers on their visit. I ike her former men-
tor Rosa Parks, Ms. Eason-Steele was quiet, unassuming
and stayed in the background But her presence was def-
initely felt!
Also with the group was Lila Cobbil of Detroit w ho
planned and coordinated the trip. Other adult chaper-
ones and leaders were John Gibson, Nassau, Bahamas,
Makia Gibson, also of Nassau; Brandy Johnson, Pacoma,
CA and Justice Rafee of Pittsburgh. The names of the 16
teenagers were listed in the story ("/24) by Eagle Editor
Eddie Madison about the group’s visit to the Eagle Office.
At Mrs. Goodwin's home, the youth heard about
many of her life experiences; tried to solve the math puz-
zles she posed; joined her in singing her favorite hymn
"This Little Light Of Mine" and memorized her recipe for
dealing with racial prejudice, "Don't get bitter, get bet-
ter." They listened to the overview of her life as given bv
her daughter Jeannie Arrandondo of Nashville who in-
cluded some achievements her very modest mother
would not have mentioned Occasionally niece Jewel
Hines added to Mrs.G's story.
Mrs. G, her daughter, niece and grandson, had the
pleasure of observing the young people put into practice
some of the skills integral to the Pathways experience.
