First African Market Fair premiers at Tennessee Tech

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Gospel singing, African-American art
and West African dancing will highlight the first African Market Fair
at Tennessee Technological University, set for 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday, Oct. 26, in Sherlock Park.
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. For more information,
contact the Black Cultural Center at 372-3392.

CHATTANOOGA STUDENT TAKES STAND
IN MLK ORA TORI CAL CONTEST AT TENNESSEE TECH
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. (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.

In her studies, Brown is already providing the leadership and action she calls for. 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.

Full text of poem by Maya Angelou:

Plant yourself beside the River.

A Rock, A River, A Tree

Each of you, descendant of some passed
On traveller, has been paid for.
You, who gave me my fir~t name, you
Pawnee, Apache, Seneca, you
Cherokee Nation, who rested with me, then
Forced on bloody feet, left me to the employment of
Other seekers -- desperate for gain,
Starving for gold.
You, the Turk, the Arab, the Swede, the German, the
Eskimo, the Scot ...
You the Ashanti, the Yoruba, the Kru, bought
Sold, stolen, arriving on a nightmare
Praying for a dream.
Here, root yourselves beside me.
I am that Tree planted by the River.
Which will not be moved.
I, the Rock, I the River, I the Tree
I am yours -- your Passages have been paid.
Lift up your faces, you have a piercing need
For this bright morning dawning for you.
History, despite its wrenching pain,
Cannot be unlived, and if faced
With courage, need not be lived again.

Marked the mastodon.
The dinosaur, who left dry tokens
Of their sojourn here
On our planet floor,
Any broad alarm of their hastening doom
Is lost in the gloom of dust and ages.
But today, the Rock cries out to us, clearly, forcefully,
Come, you may stand upon my
Back and face your distant destiny,
·
But seek no haven in my shadow.
I will give you no hiding place down here.
You, created only a little lower than
The angels, have crouched too long in
The bruising darkness,
Have lain too long
Face down in ignorance.
Your mouths spilling words
Armed for slaughter.
The Rockcriesouttoustoday, you may stand upon me,
But do not hide your face.

Lift up ~ur eyes upon
This day breaking for you.
Give birth again
To the dream.

Across the wall of the world,
A River sings a beautiful song,
It says, come, rest here by my side.
Each of you a bordered country,
Delicate and strangely made, proud,
Yet thrusting perpetually under siege.
Your armed struggles for profit
Have left collars of waste upon
My shore, currents of debris upon my breast.
Yet, today I call you to my riverside,
If you will study war no more. Come,
The Creator gave to me when I and the
Tree and the rock were one.
Before cynicism wa~ a bloody sear across your
Brow and when you yet knew you still
Knew nothing.
The River sang and sings on.

t

There is a true yearning to respond to
The singing River and the wise Rock.
So say the Asian, the Hispanic, th e Jew
·
The African, the Native American, the Sioux,
The Catholic, the Muslim, the French, the Greek
The Irish, the Rabbi, the Priest, the Sheikh,
The Gay, the Straight, the Preacher,
The privileged, the homeless, the Teacher.
They all hear
The speaking of the Tree.

•
•

They hear the first and last of every Tree
Speaks to humankind today. Come to me, here beside

the River.

Women, children, men,
Take it into the palms of your hands.
Mold it into the shape of your most
Private need. Sculpt it into
The image of your most public self.
Lift up your hearts
Each new hour holds new chances
For new beginnings.
Do not be wedded forever
To fear, yoked eternally
To brutishness.

·

The horizon leans forward ,
Offering you space to play new steps of change.
Here, on the pulse of this fine day
You may have the courage
To look up and out and upon me, the
Rock, the River, the Tree, your country.
No less to Midas that the mendicant.
,
No less to you now than the mastodon then.
•
Here on the pulse of this new day
You may have the grace to look up and out
And into your sister's eyes and into
Your brother's face, your country
And say simply
Very simply

With hope
Good morning.
