Th Highland Park chool
Bo rd met 1 t Tuesd y to dis­
cu the concern of money
needed by Highl nd P r Com­
munity olleg. Due to the
t te' c shflow problem, id
to the college will be reduced
for the ummer months. Dr.
Vivian Ross, Pre ident of
Highl nd Park Community
College requested a $500,000
loan from the Board of Educa­
tion until the state is capable of
granting chool aid.
Board members were skep­
tical at first but finally agreed
to lend the college $500,000
until October. The college
would have been unable to
maintain present commitments
to vendors, Michigan State
Retirement System, Internal
Revenue Service , and state
and city withholding taxes if
they were nsucces ful in
receiving a loan.
Additionally, the college
would have been incapable to
p y I rie p yable on June
4, nd oblig tions relative to
employee' t e and retire­
ment.
Other relev nt items on the
gend were the re ult of the
school bo rd elections held on
June 10. Win na G. Humphrey
nd John H. Holloway wer the
uccessful candidates to
receive two 4-year term begin-
ning July 1, 1991 and ending
June 30, 1995.
TH 80 RD L 0 made
suggested motions to award a
contract for the 1991 summer
lunch program. The total con­
tract will not exceed $108,528
pending state approval.
Joe C. McMobley, a non­
resident of Highland Park was
recommended by the Superin­
tendent of Schools to fill the
position of Property Service
Director. McMobley will
receive a 54,558 salary and
will be on probationary
employment for approximately
one year.
In addition, the Board ap­
proved transportation fees in
the mount of $9,126.56;
- A check for $1,267.40 for
Kir & McC rgo Legal ser­
vice;
- To recall David
Thompson from I yoff nd best
wishes for Charles Rho des,
Albert Gily rd and J cquelyn
Webb in their retirement;
- EQUESTS TO attend
professional conferences with
the estimated cost of $2,870;
- Approved a change in
salary to the new training level
for Victor Kennerly to receive
$43,560;
- Charles Gordon did not
accept the position of Director'
of Admission at the college
and will remain the Assistant
Principal at the high school;
- Dr. Heath Comer has not
returned the college's vehicle.
Heath has been unable to be
reached and therefore, the
Board will legalize the posses­
sion of the car by the RIT of
Republic.The RIT of Republic
is a formal request to the court
to repossess the automobile.
Hilliard advises H.P. schools
By Carla Hu ton
Staff Writer
Captivating in sound and
mind, Asa G. Hilliard spoke
about "time, space, and
change" at Highland Park
Community High School. Hil­
liard mesmerized the audience
while elaborating on what and
why Black History curriculums
need to be taught to African­
American children. For many
years, Black children have not
been educated about their his­
tory, therefore, they have b
came "disfunctional" said Hil­
liard.
The lecturer posed a num­
ber of questions pertaining to
the outcome of Black children
in to day's society. Hilliard
also pointed out a variety of
facts which Black and White
America need to address. For
instance, "Over one half of
Bla'ck children go to bed every
night either physically or men­
tally hungry in America" said
Hilliard.
Outspoken with messages,
Hilliard believes that "our
children" do not understand
ti�e, space, an'd change.
WIthout the comprehension of
these three 'necessities, Hil­
liard feels "if you do not under­
stand, you are going to be dis­
functional in this world."
The scholar also questions
why "our children" only func­
tion on the stopwatch and not

on the calender. Because
African-American children do
not have a sense of time nor
space, "they are not able to lo­
cate themselves on the'
calender."
THE REASONS given for
�lack �hildren being imprac­
ticable 1D todays's world is the
lack of African-American cur­
riculums in the school system.
The Education process does
not have Black kids anchored'
in their operation said Hil­
liard.
The speaker went on to dis­
cuss how the m ajor ity of

Americans do" not know that
"for the first four millions
years, there was nothing but
Africans on the Earth .. If you
are on this earth, your ancestry
is Africa."
Hilliard firmly believes that
African people played a major
part in leading the world to
civilization. Not only were
Africans the first 'architec­
tures, imperialists and mathe-
. maticians, they were also the
first people to lose their land,
freedom, and mind said Hil­
liard.
Struggling for a more ac­
curate and, better school sys­
tem, Hilliard wants Black
, children to feel a wholeness for
their people.
IN ORDER FOR African­
American children to have a
thorough understanding of
their heritage, a fully
developed- curriculum has to
,,' be established.The steps
needed to organize a new
African-American curriculum
begins with the desire to edu­
cate others.
Resource bases are also es­
sential for Black people to ad­
vance in time and space so they
can under st an d change said
Hilliard. Furthermore, without
the complete apprehension of
the African race, "our
children" will continue to be
stripped of their rights.
