From The Michigan Chronicle
This past ring, E rna Clar ,a te cher
ith the Detroit Public Schools Adult
Education Program, participated in cul­
tural exchange program s ho family
for an African udent.
It re arding experience for her,
one hi h believes more Bl
familie e. And it has in pired
e abli greater contact
Ameri n and African
udents. To Ids that end s. Clar
h s e ablished a pen pal program which
e feel will 'be very educational to
intere ed udent.
"I t' such a good medium for students
who are really intere ted in e tablishing
this kind of contact" s. Clar said.
UI think this pen pal program ill pro-
mote better under anding of Africa
and I think it will be culturally enriching
and edu tional for the student in-
olved."
In . Clark's e tirnation far too
many Blac s are patheti toward the
, otherland" and are ignorant to its
history and its diverse people. Through
her program she hopes to inspire tudents
to I am more about the continent.
"Every other ethnic group ha a coun­
try th t they can relate to," she said.
"The Polish have Poland. The Irish
have Ireland. But we Blacks have nothing
we can rei te to in terms of an ance ral
home. e h ve become isolated from
the otherland. It ouldn't be th t
way.
'I think this program will be good in
promoting n of If identity" she
continued, "of knowing here we c me
from and who e are. Som of u I c
that to a large degree."
. Clark ha a list of 50 Afri n
udents from the I ory Coa and
Sene al. The udent r nge in e from
12 to 23 and both Engli and
French.
