WEEKLY SESSIONS SET
·.•
I
By JUNIE BROWN
.
.tiu::it~ Jou=
Educalloa EdU.Or
. Put the Atlanta Board of Edu-
·cation and an education subcommittee of Economic Opportunity
Atlanta (EOA) together and
what would you get?
Sweetness and light.
~embers of the subcommittee
left tl:i'! Monday night meeting
which they expected to be a.
fracas still a little unsure of
what had actually happened.
Not only did they get a sympathetic hearing, but at the
recommendation of Atlanta
Supt. of Schools Dr. John LetWll, the subcommittee will hold
weekly meetings with the board
"as long as is necessary" to
discuss and iron out their complaints.
"DO YOU REALIZE what
this means?" Mrs. Marilyn
Graybill asked following the
meeting. "It means we ... .:e actually going to get in on school"
decisions at the policy level."
· "This is the best boar&lt;t meet:Jng I've ever attended," said
~bert Tuve, chairman of another citizens ,group, Better
Schools Atlanta. "I'd say this
was a very positive response."
"I'd say we made a start,"
~d Mes. Maggie Moody chairman of the subcommittee of the
tc)A Cmzens Advisory Council.
. The meeting began on a sour
llOte when board chairman Bill
WJinwright grilled Mrs. Moody
about differences between her
eorrespondences praising the
l,oard for working with the sub- I
mm.mf.ttee and published re- ,
ports that the su.bcommi~e hqd :
eriticize.d the board for {ailure ·
ID communicate and cooperate. i
However, the tone of the
~eting began to change after
one of. the subcommittee members came to Mrs .Moody's defense.
·'You're awful stiff," Mrs.
,Usie LaBord told Wainwright.
YOUTe like you'v-e got Mrs.
Moody ill . trial. We're here to
ia.lk about our children's problems, not to jerk up Mrs.
Moody. We don't want anymore
of that kind of talk.," she said.
AFTER A BRIEf exchange
between Wainwright and another mbcommittee member,
t,frs. DoroUiy Bolden, ovex
whether 1he board should re-
spond t.o the coxpplaints of the
..-oup in writing or, &lt;JS Wainwright said, by having Dr. Le~
son "throw the answer~ out on
· e table." Dr. Letson took over
th~ rpeeling.
--,.
High School and .request that
the board · ouil(j a new high
school on Field Road to serve
the expanding notithwest Atlanta population.
.
Mrs. Hill maintainoo Archer
ls housing 1,700 students but
has a capacity for only .1,2()0.
Dr. Letson told the parents
the school board included additions for. Archer, Harper and
West Fulton High Schools in
this bond issue to take care of
popuiation growth in that area.
"Mr. Wainwright may I suggest that we take each one of .
these broqd areas the subcommittee is questioning us about
.md set up a specific meeting to
discuss it with them in depth,"
.l)r. Letson said.
·
"Let me illustrate," Letson
went on. The Atl-anta school
lunch program is the largest
food service operation in Atl~nta. If you want . a thorough
un&lt;lerstan&lt;ilng of our school

_ Harmony Prevails as EOA,
~ Atlanta School Board Meet

By JUNIE BROWN
: Atlanta Journal Education Editor
. Put the Atlanta Board of Edu-
cation and an education subcom-
mittee of Economic Opportunity
Atlanta (EQOA) together and
What would you get?

Sweetness and light.

. Members of the subcommittee
left the Monday night meeting
which they expected to be a
fracas still a little unsure of
what had actually happened.

Not only did they get a sym-
pathetic hearing, but at the
Yecommendation of Atlanta
Supt. of Schools Dr. John Let-
son, the subcommittee will hold
weekly meetings with the board
“as long as is necessary” to
discuss and iron out their com-
plaints.

“DO YOU REALIZE what
this means?” Mrs. Marilyn
Graybill asked following
Meeting. “It means we ."e ac-
tually going to get in on school
decisions at the policy level.”

“This is the best board meet-
ing I’ve ever attended,” said
Robert Tuve, chairman of an-
other citizens group, Better
Schools Atlanta. “I’d say this
Was &amp; very positive response,”

“I'd say we made a start,”
gaid Mrs. Maggie Moody chair-
man of the subcommittee of the
EOA Citizens Advisory Council.

- The meeting began on a sour
note when board chairman Bill
Wainwright grilled Mrs. Moody
about differences between her’
€orrespondences praising the

High School and request that
the board -build a new high
school on Field Road to serve
the expanding northwest At-
lanta population.

Mrs. Hill maintained Archer
is housing 1,700 students but

has a capacity for only 1,200.
Dr. Letson told the parents
the schoo] board included ad-
ditions for Archer, Harper and
West Fulton High Schools in
this bond issue to take care of
population -growth in that area. |,

 

 

board for working with the sub-
committee and published re-
ports that the subcommittee had
etiticized the beard for failure
to commumicate and cooperate, |

However, the tone of the!
meeting began to change after)
one of the subcommittee mem-
bers came to Mrs .Moody’s de-
fense.

“You're awful stiff,’ Mrs.
Susie LaBord told Wainwright.

“You're like you’ve got Mrs.
Moody on trial. We’re here to
talk about our children’s prob-
lems, aot to jerk up Mrs.
Moody. We don’t want anymore
of that kind of talk,” she said.

AFTER A BRIEF exchange
between Wainwright and an-
eather subcommittee member,
Mrs. Dorothy Bolden, over
whether the board should re-
spond te the complaints of the
group in writing or, as Wain-
wright said, by having Dr. Let-
son “throw the answers out on
the table,” Dr. Letson took over

the meeting.

“Mr. Wainwright may I sug-
gest that we take each one of
these broad areas the subcom-
mittee is questioning us about
moe ns a mes meeting to

wi em in depth,”

Dr. Letson said. te

“Let me illustrate,” Letson
went on. The Atlanta school
lunch program is the largest
food service operation in At-
Janta. If you want.a thorough
understanding of our school
goer it’s abosolutely

al that you spend the
ime to learn about it

“We'll set up these meetings,
one on each topic or more if
hecessary, and have all the staff
people, erea superintendents
and principals here to answer
your questions. Then you can
help us evaluate the program
and if there’s a better way to

do it, we'll be glad to take your
recommendations,”

THE FIRST meeting, set for
? p.m. Wednesday, will deal
with the operation of the school
pag acti ne as board’s

Icy on free an i
ey eee. ve

Mrs. Odessa Hill, Mrs, M
Sanford and Mrs. Olivia Pullen
Tepresenting the Perry Homes
area, appeared before the board
earlier in the evening to dis-

              <text>EOA Forum on School S ag
Turns Into Political Rally

By JUNIE BROWN
Atlanta Journal Educativn Editor

An Economic Opportunity At-
lanta {EOA) subcommittee
meeting, which began as a
forum for discussion of educa-
tional complaints, ended as a
Political rally.

Despite EOA’s regulation
about poiitica’ neutrality, two
persons announced at the meet-
ing that they are candidates for
the Atlanta Board of Education
and a third person advised
those present to “begin political
action to unseat certain board
members.” The occasion was a
meeting of the education sub-
committee of EOA’s Citizens’
Central Advisory Committee
Monday night at West Hunter
Street Baptist Church.

 

THE SUBCOMMITTEE meet-_
ing ostensibly was called to dis/
cuss a controversial report and
set of recommendations for im-
provements of the school sys-
tem which the group had drawn
up during the four years of its
existence. _ j

t

Dr. John Letson, superintend. |
ent of Atlanta schools, raised |
the ire of subcommittee nce
bers by rejecting an invitation
to appear at the meeting and |
discuss the report. Instead,
three members of Letson’s staff
fielded questions from those |
present. i

Early in the four-hour meet-
ing, Mrs. June Cofer announced
she will run for the board of ed-

‘ucation from the Ist Ward!
against incumbent Ed Cook, and |
Dennis Jackson said he wil? Le |
a candidate for the 2nd Ward |
seat held by Mrs. Anne Wood-'
ward, ;

The Rev. Mance Jackson,
director of the Urban Mission
Project in the ‘Lightning’ area
of Atlanta sponsored by the In-
terdenominational Theological
Center, told subcommittee
members they are “really too.
patient with this bureaucratic |
red tape.”

“THE BOARD of education
has no respect for us as a com-
munity,” Jackson said. “We
play white. people’s games
year-in and year-out, and we
get the runaround.”

“T would hope we would even-
tually get ito the point where we
would not write letters and beg
them to come. I recommend
that the subcommiitee entertain
political action to unseat those
who won't come to see you,”
Jackson said.

“You sit in a most powerful
position. You are not aware of
the power you have. This sub-
committee has the power to
change the complexion of this
whole city,”’ Jackson said.

KOA Worthy,

Parham Holds

’ By BILL SHIPP

Before he was to step down Wednesday as executive admin-
istrator of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Thomas M. (Jim)

War on Poverty.

“It was like trying to build a
sailing ship and sail it around
the world while you were build-
ing it,” he said. Or, “It was like
eee down the razor’s edge of
ife.”

The program was hindered by
ambiguity in its missions, at
times hamstrung by erratic
funding and sometimes almost
crippled by a lack of necessary
skills, Parham said.

But all things considered, Par-
ham said he believes the pro-
gram has been worth the trou-
bles—and the money. EOA is
currently operating on a $12 mil-
lion annual budget with a staff
of 500 persons. Parham got a
salary of $20,000 a year.

Parham emphasized he didn’t
want to appear to be-leaving
EOA with a blast of criticism,
“Atlanta will never be the same
because of EOA,” he says.

But there were some tall prob-
lems to try to solve—problems
that for the most part will be in-
herited by his successor, Wil-
liam W. Allison, who was Par-
ham's deputy administrator.

Parham té!ked about some of
those preblems:

Policy dispensed by Office of
Economic Opportunity head-
quarters was often vague, con-
tradictory and sometimes non-
existent. It took OEO until the
fall of 1968 to set down on paper
just what its mission was, al-

‘though OEO came into being

more than three years earlier,
Parham said.
—~'We ‘ere told on the one hand
to cooperate with existing gov-
ernmental agencies, and, on the
other, to work to change those
agencies,’ Parham said. “We
found it was a little difficult to
develop cooperation with some-
body when you’re trying to put
the needle to hirn at the same
time. 5

“We were told to spend wisely

 

 

,Parham looked back at his 22 months as a local general in the

and be efficient, and we were
told to use idigencus unskilled
personnel whenever possible.
We were told to plan scientifi-
cally and deliberately, but move
in fast and take quick decisive
action; we were told to advocate
strongly for the poor but don’t,
become politically partisan,’’
Parham said,

A big headache was trying to
put together a program and im-
plementing it at the same time.
“Tt was like to trying to build a
sailing ship and sail it around
the world while you were build-
ing it,”’ he said.

While juggling and trying to
reconcile all the contradictions.
there was always something
else to contend with. “You had
to be liberal enough to be ac-
cepted in the poor communities,
yet conservative enough so that
you could. work with the Estab-
lishment,” Parham said. “It
was like sliding down the razor’s
edge of life.”

-One would think this might be
more than enough to stymie any
program—especially one so
complex and all-encompassing
as the anti-poverty program.

But these weren't the only
troubles. Congress slashed the
budget for helping the poor in
the United States so that the
country could finance the war in

’ THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION, Friday, June 27, 1969

Celestine Sibley

 

 

at a speaiite

 

of a little Negro ‘girl named Sharon.

Sharon is almost 13 years old and she lives
in that area west of the Atlanta stadium called
Mechanicsville. Life isn’t easy for most people

, in Mechanicsville and it doesn’t seem possible
that it could be remotely comfortable for
Sharon and her family. There are about 20 of
them — 16 children at last count — living in a
three and a half room house. Her father, uned-
ucated and untrained for any kind of work,
-had a poor-paying job until recently but it fiz-
zled out and according to the last report he
was on the street looking again.

None of this looks particularly jolly for a lit-
tle girl but on top of that everybody took it for
granted that Sharon was mentally retarded.
Her efforts at talk were gibberish. She clearly
didn’t understand what was said to her. The
regular escape from an overcrowded and im-
poverished home, public school was closed
to her.

Then Sharon found a friend.

Mrs. Bernice Miller, mother of three and a
former school traffic policewoman, visited
Sharon’s home as a part of her job as an Eco-
nomic Oppor ervice aide.

The little girl's face attracted her. She could
see something was wrong and, withthe seem-
ingly boundless optimism of EOA workers, she

a é up her mind to gef Sharon some expert
elp.

The first thing was a psychological test and
then she took Sharon to the Butler Health Cen-
ter for a physical examination and then, lo and
behold, they found the trouble.

“Sharon was not mentally retarded but prac:

tically stone deaf.
It seems inconceivable that parents or
friends wouldn’t have caught a handicap like

robably the most terrifying thing about it.

 

. . Everybody took it for
granted that Sharon was mental-
ly retarded. Her efforts at talk

friend.”

 

that at some point im the little girl’s life before
she reached her 13th birthday but you don’t
know how confusing and bewildering life can
get for 20 people in three and a half rooms.
When the scramble for food is frenzied and
there’s not enough of anything to go around
you might stop paying attention to other trou-
bles.

Sharon has a lot of catching up to do and it
isn’t going to be easy for a time. But things
are looking up. She is getting special attention
at the Milton Avenue School, where they con-
centrate on work with iwretarded children. She
has speech lessons, amamg others, and can now
make herself understood better.

“Sharon still lives at the crowded Mechan-
icsville address,"” Mr. Downs wrote in his re-
port. “But now nearly every day she is at the
Sum-Mee (Summerville-Mechanicsville) Center
participating in dancing, drawing and elemen-
tary writing. Now, too, the gentle black face
that was once ignored breaks into a jolly smile
when observed.”

Makes it scary when \you think that if Eco-
nomic Opportunity didn’t exist, if Mrs. Miller
hadn't been there .. . doesn’t it?

charmed with its beauty and
variety.

“T's not a bit like Mooney’s
Lake used to be,” I marvelled
to photographer Bill Wilson,

_ thinking of the days when I

took my children there for a
big outing.

places to eat in our town.
They asked Ine how I liked the
Lion’s Head and The Abbey
and I said, “Huh? What's
that?”

“You have to gel out and
see more,” Carolyn told me
firmly. ‘We're going to take
you in hand,”

And I made a resolution to
get oul more and see more
and went straight home,
flushed with righteousness
born of new resolve, changed
to my jeans and straw hat
and went blackberrying.

IN SPITE of what I say, I
really enioy the quiet country
pleasures. Blackberries are
Teaching their peak around
Sweet Apple settlement now
and it would be terrible to be
kiting off to Seven Flags or
Some enticing new restaurant
eating all manner of gorgeous
food when the blackberries
are hanging'there on the vine
geiling over-ripe.

Some people can pass up
blackberries, I realize. There
are those who are afraid of
snakes and those who hate
briars and even more who are
turned back by chiggers.

But I know of no pleasanter
way to pass the hours of the
sun's setting and twilight’s
settling in than in a certain
pasture down on Little River
picking berries.

The hay has been Freshly
cut and the random strands

   

Pe Gat OM &amp; wee

the mowers left have turned
to gold. The summer stin has
dried them and in the drying
brought out that sweet July
fragrance that’s like none
other. In the oak trees on the
hills the July flies saw away
and down on the river bank
frogs start their late evening
symphony, punciuating it with
an occasional soft, cooling
“plop” into the water.

A mockingbird sings from
the beautiful big poplar in the
center of the pasture and car-
dinals make gentle night-com-
ing-on murmurings in the al-
ders by the stream.

IT’S EASY to reach the lit
ile berries and there are
plenty of them but the big
ones, the long blue black ones
that look as fat and tempting
as little sausages, hang way
baci. in the briars.

I always pause ™before
reaching for one of them and
then, following the example of
my neighbor Doc, T stamp on
the ground, rustle the bushes
and sing lustily,

“You can’t see snakes when
it’s this thick,” says Doc,
plunking a handful ef berries
into his bucket with a tuneful
sound. “I like to think the
snakes can’t see me either.”

ig aE

IT’S THE PROPER attitude
for a dedicated black-berrver
and it makes for a musical
outing. At one end of, the pas-
ture Doc heists a tune about
faithless lovers. At my end I
sing my favorite, “I Don’t eS
Want to Walk Without You, ort A
Baby,” meaning just the op- Lit gf
posite if any snakes are lis-
tening and in between I hear
a mumbled curse from some-
body who was briar scratched
and random slaps at mosqui-
tos and horse flies,

IT’S NOT Six Flags, nor yet
going oul to dinner. Bul it re-
sults in fine cobbler and a few
glasses §f the prettiest jelly
you ever say.
