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 Malcolm X exhibition extended Due to the popular response, "Malcolm X: Man On A Tightrope," an exclusive film and photographic exhibi­ tion, has been augmented and extended until Sun., June 0, at the Black Cinema Gallery, 1144 Pingree, Detroit.

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 society, especially African- t r"" :) ( ) () f3 I r', I r II " ,', (", I r (j' , Buy soo.
