The fair, sponsored by the university's Black Cultural Center, will feature vendors selling African-American arts and crafts as well as refreshments and food; art displays; gospel music from the campus group Divinity and a group from Chattanooga; performances by Tennessee Tech's West African Dance and Drum Troupe and entertainment from various local rap and singing groups. "Anyone who would like to entertain can do so," Anthony Dunnings, entertainment coordinator for the fair, said. Those interested can contact Dunnings, Stephen Williams or Michelle Dixon at 372-3392. Proceeds from the fair go toward the expansion of the Black Cultural Center. Center director Mayme Martin expects 250 or more people to arrive from across the Southeast for the event. "We want to develop a network on campus with other groups so they can learn more about a different culture," Martin said. "We want to network with the local community, the state and surrounding states. We're expecting visitors from Nashville, Chattanooga and even Atlanta." According to Martin, being aware and knowledgable about different cultures can help bring about understanding and respect. "We want the community to become aware of cultural diversities that shape us here in Tennessee, just as they shape events on a more global scale," Martin said. In case of rain, the fair will be held in the OVC room on the first floor of the University Center.

(March 21, 1996) - A powerful address on affirmative action won recognition for Chattanooga's Tonya Brown during a recent Martin Luther King Jr. Oratorical Competition at Tennessee Technological University. Brown, a senior-level mechanical engineering student, was one of eight students who took part in the event, which challenged students to articulate their views on whether affirmative action is still necessary. The event was sponsored by the university's Black Cultural Center. In an eight-minute address, Brown traced the introduction of slaves into the American colonies, their treatment at the hands of white masters and their long struggle for freedom and equality. With the help of Harriet Tubman, Nat Turner and other visionary leaders, "the battle of freedom was won," Brown said, "only to start a new battle of togetherness and higher learning." It is important to realize that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the amendment one year later that included the concept of affirmative action came 346 years into the history and experiences of blacks in this nation, Brown said. "Because of the past, our people are in the worst economic status in America. We need to finish the fight, to win the prize: to be equal with other Americans." Affirmative action is a tool in that fight, she said, "because (it) is designed to minimize the actions of discrimination." With the legal foundation affirmative action provides, blacks are positioned to use their personal determination to succeed and, when necessary, fight for the rights that the constitution guarantees them. "It is up to our generation not only to win a battle, but to win the war for equality," Brown told students at the event. "As Maya Angelou says, 'We are the hope and the dream of a slave.' Do not forget your past for it will keep you pressing on to the future. Remember that like our ancestors, we must use the tools at our disposal to rise, to succeed and to take our rightful place in corporate America. Once we have succeeded, affirmative action will no longer be needed." This marks the fifth year Tennessee Tech has hosted the oratorical competition, which strives to encourage students to formulate and express well-reasoned stances on issues of importance to blacks and other minorities.

Her field, mechanical engineering, remains underpopulated with women and minorities, although recent years have seen that inequality begin to change. The daughter of Joseph C. and Olivia Brown of Chattanooga, Brown is active in a variety of campus organizations, including Alpha Kappa Alpha social sorority, the National Society of Women Engineers, the National Society of Black Engineers, Inter-Varsity Christian Fellowship and the Black Student Organization. A 1991 graduate of Ooltewah High School, she plans to work in engineering following her graduation from Tennessee Tech and begin study for a doctorate in psychology. - 30 - [Photo enclosed: Tonya Denise Brown of Chattanooga] � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

T }' News and Information Services•Cookeville•Tennessee (615) 372-3214 (10/10/89) 1/2/2cr/3/4/3TV /Williamson Co. Black Cultural Center established at Tennessee Tech COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Tennessee Technological University has established a Black Cultural Center that students and staff hope will become a hub of activity for the campus and community. The center will support black students' educational and social activities and offer workshops, concerts and other programs to the campus and community. More than 1.100-square-feet of conference and study rooms in the University C~nter, near the heart of the campus, will house the center. Carpet has been laid, furniture is being collected and the facility should be fully operational by spring semester. "I've talked with black students about the center," said Corey Prince, a junior finance major from Franklin who is president of the Black Student Organization (BSO). "I think everyone is excited about it. We really feel positive and optimistic that we have things going for us. "It's a place we hope black students will go to become culturally aware of our heritage and we hope white students and students of other races will come, too, to study, to attend programs, and to see black-oriented art and displays about famous black leaders and others who are making contributions." Prince said the center will have black-oriented magazines and he hopes to have a television, VCR and satellite dish to bring in programs from BET, the Black Entertainment Television network. Study rooms will be available for student use. - over Contact: Margot Emery �2-2-2-2-2 "We hope to create a positive image for our black students and for other students, as well, 11 Prince said. "We want to to create and strengthen the bonds between students of all races. Racism somehow occurs because we're not aware of other races' contributions. With awareness and understanding, we tend to work together and things are better." Last year, BSO members surveyed black students about their interest in a cultural center. The students proposed their idea to the university's Commission on the Status of Blacks and soon regular planning meetings were underway. Presently, a set of procedures for the center, including plans for how a board of students, faculty and staff will be established to oversee operations, is ' being reviewed. "We're feeling our way with this," said Hoyle Lawson, vice president for student services, "but that's why we have a set of procedures that outline how the center will operate and how business will be conducted. "We want it to be a stimulating place for our students," he stressed, "a place that will support programs and activities for our black students and provide them with a retreat. We also hope it will foster better understanding among races." "Tennessee Tech is a good school with a great study environment, but apart from academics, there's not a lot here for black students," Prince said. "One way of overcoming this is to get involved in organizations and keep busy. The cultural center will be something for us here to answer the needs of students. Hopefully, it will help keep students here and attract more." Lillie Alford, job locator for the university, will direct the center. She has been studying the way successful cultural centers operate at Vanderbilt, Purdue and other universities. - more - �3-3-3-3-3 "I think one strength of our center will be the tutorial programs to help students. We're also aiming to bring in speakers and to host concerts and workshops. The center could be very successful and very beneficial to both the students and the university as a whole." In addition to a large social room, the center includes several smaller areas that will serve as headquarters for the BSO and the university's chapter of the National Society of Black Engineers. BSO activities planned for fall semester include an anti-racial circle on the main plaza. "We plan to invite all organizations that want to take a stand against racism to meet together to say racism is wrong -- to take a stand and say we're unified on this," Prince said. Next semester, the BSO is planning a gospel extravaganza, a panel discussion on careers by black professionals and, possibly, a black history quiz bowl open to all student organizations. - 30 - � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
