Negro Self-Help Project, Co-Op Market
on Linwood, Gets Boost From AJCongress
The Michigan Council of the
American Jewish Congress is act-
ing as a liaison to the Detroit
business community for a coopera-
tive supermarket in Detroit, which
is owned and operated by Negroes
for Negroes and which the council
helped to create.
The Black Star Cooperative, a
non profit foundation, opened the
supermarket on Linwood, in what
was once a heavily Jewish neigh-
borhood, on Feb. 8. Stock in the
enterprise is held entirely by Ne-
groes living in the neighborhood,
who have elected all of the co-op's
officers and determine its policies.
The supermarket's initial inven-
tory was purchased with a $10,000
loan made by a local bank through
a private fund. The loan was ne-
gotiated with the help of AJ-Con-
gress officials who brought together
the co-op officials and the source
of the funds. In addition, 14 AJ-
Congress members agreed, in their
own names, to guarantee 25 per
cent, or $2,500, of the loan.
The Michigan council also has
enlisted support of Detroit civic
and business leaders, including
officials of Detroit area food
chains, who are helping the co-
Bond Fashion Show
and Luncheon Headed
by Mrs. Louis Berry
Mrs. Louis Berry will be chair-
man of the 1968 All-Israel'Fashion
Show and Luncheon June 12, it
was announced by Mrs. Morris L.
Schaver, chairman of the Detroit
Israel Bond Women's Division. The
fashion show, to be staged at Cong.
Shaarey Zedek, will be highlight
of the women's division activities
for the year.
Mrs. Berry is the chairman oif
the Tri-County Braille Volunteers,
an adjunct of
the Metropolitan
Society for the
first chairman of
the Michigan,
District, National
League of United
Synagogue Wom-
en, and served
three years as
president of Mrs. Berry
Shaarey Zedek Sisterhood. She is
a leader in ORT, has held the post
of a chapter vice president and
also served as president of an
American Jewish Congress chapter
and vice president of human rela-
tions for the council.
In 1967 she served as chair-
man of the Israel Bond Sponsor
Art Show Luncheon. She is a
member of the executive board,
Detroit Israel Bond Women's
Division, and has made a num-
ber of trips to Israel, one just
recently, to observe the projects
being developed through Israel
Bond investments.
The All-Israel Fashion Show and
Luncheon, marking the 20th year
of Israel's independence, will fea-
ture a collection of high couture.
Every Jewish women's organiza-
tion in the metropolitan area has
been invited to participate in this
showing of the creations of Israel's
designers.
Mrs. Berry will host a petite
luncheon for hostesses of the
fashion show 12:30 p.m. May 9 at
her home, 19469 Parkside, to kick
off the fashion show effort.
•
operative with administrative
and financial counsel. Michigan
council officials have stressed
that while they are helping to
arrange contacts and expert help
to the cooperative, all policy de-
cisions are made by the coop's
officials.
The project began with arrange-
ment by the Michigan Council in
May 1967 of a series of dialogues
between Jews and Negroes. By the
end of 1967, council officials said,
about 100 people were directly in-
volved in small dialogue groups of
Negi.oes and Jews, who have dis-
cussed the nature of prejudice,
black anti-Semitism and Jewish
attitudes toward Negroes.
Officials said that while the
groups are continuing to meet and
grow in number, they are geared
basically to develop and carry out
action programs. Black Star is one
such project.
Another is an effort, in coop-
eration with the Michigan attorney
general's office, to amend Michi-
gan banking laws so that federally-
chartered banks and savings and
loan associations will be eligible to
receive state funds. Currently, the
Home Federal Savings and Loan
Association of Detroit, the only
Negro savings and loan institution
in Michigan, is not eligible to get
state money. Access to such funds
would substantially increase the
ability of the Negro-owned bank to
serve the Detroit Negro community.
Meanwhile, at the request of the
Michigan Council, private corpora-
tions and • individuals have deposi-
ted more than $20,000 in the bank,
AJ-Congress officials said.
