BLACK
HISTORY
EDITION

FRANK J. JOHNSON
EDITOR AND PUBLISHER

CLEO JOHNSON
The Black man's contribution to the building of America has been
deliberately omitted in the textbooks that are used to educate our children. Consequently, most people in this country, both Black and white,
have no knowledge of the Black man's achievements.
Textbooks used in schools to this very day only reflect a token amount,
if any, of the Black man's contributions and accomplishments. Too often
Black history is only taught seriously during Black History Week and
usually in schools where there is a predominately Black enrollment. This
is a tragic mistake because, to teach Black history in its proper perspective it must be taught from textbooks that has Black History chronologically intergrated into it as it happened in history. All schools should
teach out of these textbooks even if the school is one hundred per cent
white. Black children have always studied white history; why not white
children studying Black history. This would also most certainly eliminate
the myth that white people are better than other people.
The Black man has made numerous contributions to history that go
unrecognized in the fields of medicine, science, and technology. Among
his many other forgotten contributions are his art, literature, and architecture. So it is only decent and appropriate that Black history be taught
in its proper perspective.
Meanwhile, the GRAPEVINE staff will continue the struggle to let our
readers and America know that Black people are proud people and we
are somebody.

Concentrated Employment Program

1735 FULTON STREET

CEP. WHAT IS IT?
The Concentrated Employment Program (CEP) is a major effort to bring
together all available resources to help the Nation's most severely disadvantaged groups. It is not really a new program as we normally think of the
term . Rather, it is a new approach to the problems of the disadvantaged-an attempt to unify and concentrate efforts to provide complete, efficient,
and result-getting help where and when it counts.
The CEP involves several new approaches to aiding the disadvantaged. It
attempts to coordinate local, State, and Federal manpower efforts· to make
a significant impact on the unemployment and underemployment prob lems
of an urban sl um or rural area . It involves local business and l.;ibor groups
in the manpower problems of the community. It comes to grips with the
total employment problems of the hardest hit of the disadvantaged.
But most important, CEP provides full-scale personalized help to the
individuals it serves, and sticks with them not only until they have found
a permanent job, but until they have achieved the capacity to remain on
the job.
CEP is geared
portant. W orking
education groups,
a plan ta ilored to

to the concept that it is people, not jobs, that are imwith and through the local Employment Service, vocational
and othe r service agencies, CEP project sponsors draw up
the individual that provides all the services he needs.

These plans may include outreach and recruitment, counseling and testing,
job orientation, various medical and soc ial suppo rt services, educational and
vocational training or work experience, job development and placement,
and even continued followup and help after employment.
Thus the services given the individual can be flexible and highly personalized, and the concentrated attack on unemployment can make a significant impact on the manpower problems of the neighborhood or community.
The Fresno CEP represents a unique program in that it incorpo rates a
wide range of manpo wer and related services that have never been attempted before under one administrative umbrella. Historically, manpower
agencies have not been capable of fully dealing with the problems of minority
and disadvantaged citizens simply because of the tremendous amount of
social, economic, educational, and attitudial problems the di sadvantaged
unemployed worker usually exemplifies. The CEP offers a viable alternative
to this . kind of worker by having full scope of counseling, training, and
supportive services that are designed to meet his needs.

His firm specializes in tractor .. dismantling, new and used parts and
general welding . The firm is small but prides itself of quality work.
It is five years old, limited to Ben, his wife, Belle, and a couple of
good employees.
The most recent employee came through Ben's silent partner,
the Fresno office of the Concentrated Employment Program. Under
the program CEP screens applicants and then helps in the cost of
job training.
"It's a terrific program," exclaims Ben. "This guy has been
great. He's not only reliable and a good worker, but he knows my
problems. I just wish I were big enough to hire a couple more like
him .. . sure I'd go to CEP."
CEP has helped dozens of valley firms hire and train new employees. The CEP program might be just what your firm needs.

A myriad of emotions manifested by laughter, smiles, warm embraces and tears could be seen at
the West Fresno Jazz Hall of Fame
Concert held recently at the Towne
& Country Lodge in Fresno.
The honorees had a night they
won 't soon forget and a trophy to
help them recall the event when
times makes exact memories dim.
All were present and accounted
for as the houselights dimmed and
the near capacity audience sipped,
laughed, applauded and danced
the night away.
Needless to say, the music was
superb and as varied as the multitalented musicians themselves. It
wasn't quite Bach or Beethoven,
but there surely was a lot of Boogie, Jazz and Bop.
The acceptance speeches brought
a mixture of cheers and tears to
the crowd as well as the speakers,
but perhaps the most moving moments included Mac Thomas & Bill
Bigby, Sr.'s warm and brief Thank
Yous for their awards.
According to Orrant Neeley, one
of the sponsors of the show, "We're planning to do it again next
year." And we certainly hope they
do. For all of you who may have
missed it; there was too much going on to inform you adequately
here, suffice it to say, Be there next
year, or you'll miss out twice . For
all of us who were there and who
have found nothing more exciting
to talk abou t all year; It truly was
a signif icant and meaningful evening, as well as a lot of fun and
frolic.
Those honored were Mrs. Ann
Coy, Woody Miller, Gene Morris,
Jessie Cooley, Sonny Jay, Kirk
Kirkland, Bill Morris, George Zeno vich, and Mathew B. Thomas. Also
honored were the late Gene Coy,
Billy Bigby, Jr., and Gene Willi ams.

EOC Offers Diet Supplements In Woman,
Infants and Children Program
The Fresno County Economic Opportunities Commission is o pening
a new Women, Infants and Children (WIC) program which from
now through June will supplement
the diets of an estimated 4,000 lowincome family members.
High-protein, vitamin-rich supplemental foods will be available
thr9,igh the
$513,000 WIC program funded by the US Department of Agriculture. Examples are
milk, eggs, cheese, infant formulas , and juices and ce reals for both
infants and adults .
Of those receiving the foods, about 1,000 will be pregnant and
lactating women,
1,500 infants
through age one, and 1,500 children through age four, according
to WIC Director Charles H. Kyle .
" Poverty keeps many from practicing good nutrition, " said Kyle.
" Low-income people 's consumption
of p rotei n and v itam ins A and C
consistently falls sh o rt of levels recommended for good health .,.
Some defici e ncy diseases suffer-

ed high proportion by this group
are anemia, dental decay, obesity
among the young, and hyperten sion and diabetes among adults.
Attempting to reverse these effects, WIC will operate at 20 sites
throughout the County, including
Calwa Recreation Center and the
EOC Head Start sites and Ivy and
Trinity Centers. WIC will focus
mainly on rural areas because,
Kyle explained, migrant farmworker families account for a good
many cases of undernourishment.
''Good nutrition plays as big a
part in preventive health care as
regular medical examinations,"
said Kyle, who also directs EOC
Family Planning and Health Services.
Joe Williams, Executive Director,
said EOC will seek over $1 million
in additional USDA funds to extend WIC through June, 1975.

Ken Thomas· fourth grade d ream was about usual for a young man
that age, to be a professiona l athlete- a basketball player.
Since that time Thomas has grown from about 3-foot-6 to 6-foot-3
and his dream has grown to near reality.
Thomas, recently college-athlete-of -the -week selection, was honored for his outstanding play in Fresno Pacific's win over Chapman and
Biola Colleges.
The senior guard sco red 40 ·points, grabbed 12 rebounds and handed
out 12 assists in the two games.
"Ken is the most complete athlete I've ever coached, " said Ron
Adams. " He has a grea t sense of the game and the ability to control
the tempo. "
Thomas ' idea of becoming a professional basketball player really
got underway as a ninth grader at L. B. Landry High in New Orleans.
"My coach; Vic Vassuere; traveled all over the country with me playing basketball. I think we went to every clinic there was, " said Thomas.
Adams thinks Thomas, a high school All-American, has a good shot
at college All -American.
"Ken's averaging near 16 points a game, he's near the top in the
nation in assists and is averaging five rebounds a game."
Thomas averaged close to 20 points per game last season but has
dropped his shooting to become a more rounded ball player.
" I think the scouts are smart enough to know that anyone can shoot.
I'm trying to work at all phases, rebounds, assists. If I only take l O to
15 shots a game I can still hit 20 points.
" I just hape that with Fresno State doing so we ll that someone takes
notice of us since we' re just a small school."

DIAMONDS
The diamond is universally regarded as the most desirable of the material
possessions of life. Its possession gives a feeling of sat isfaction--of affluence--and pride. To its owner the diamond is today, as it has been for
centuries, lasting assurance if position-appreciation-honor-and love.
"The adamas (diamond ) is the most valuable not only of precious stones,
but of all things in this world," is the way Pliny, the early Roman historian
describes it in the first century of the Christian era. In the same century
Manilius emphasizes two of the diamond 's most striking characteristicssmall size and great value. Today, after 2000 years, both Manilius and
Pliny can be judged remarkably correct in their valuation of the diamond.

"Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. The whole
history of the progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet
made to her august claims, have been born of earnest struggle. The
conflict has been exciting, agitating , all-abosrbling, and for the time
being, putting all other tumults to silence. It must do this or it does
nothing. If there is no struggle there is no progress. Those who profess
to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops
without polwing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and
lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many
waters.
This struggle may be a moral one, or it may be a physical one, and
it may be both moral and physical, but it must be a struggle. Power
concedes nothing but a demand. It never did and it never will. Find
out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out
the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon
them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words
or blows, or with both. The limits cf tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress . In the light of these ideas, Negroes
will be hunted at the North, and held and flogged at the S:: uth so bng
as they submit to th.:>se devilish outrages, and make no resistance,
either moral or physical . . . " (August 1857)

"THEN MY LIVING WILL NOT BE IN VAIN"
By Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

don't want a long funeral.
And if you get somebody to deliver the eulogy, tell him not
to talk too long.
And every now and then I wonder what I want him to say.
Tell him not to mention that I have a Nobel Peace Prize. That
isn't so important.
Tell him not to mention that I have three or four hundred
other awards-that's not important. Tell him not to mention
where I went to school.
I'd like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther
King Jr. tried to give his life serving others.
I'd like for somebody to say that day that Martin Luther
King Jr. tried to love somebody.
I want you to say that I tried to be right on the war question. I want you to be able to say that day that I did try to
feed the hungry. I want you to say that day that I did try in
my life to clothe those who were naked.
I want you to say on that day that I did try in my life to
visit those who were in prison. And I want you to say that I
tried to love and serve humanity.
Yes, if you want to, say that I was a drum major. Say that
I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major
for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness.
And all of the other shallow things will not matter.
I won't have any money to leave behind. I won't have the
fine and luxurious things of life to leave behind. But I just
want to leave a committed life behind.
And that is all I want to say. If I can help somebody as I
pass along, if I can cheer somebody with a song, if I can show
somebody he's traveling wrong, then my living will not be in
vain.
If I can do my duty as a Christian ought.
If I can bring salvation to a world once wrought.
If I can spread the message as the master taught.
Then my living will not be in vain.

Every now and then I guess we all think realistically about
that day when we w ill be victimized with what is life's final common denominator-that something we call death.
We all think about it, and every now and then I think about
my own death, and I think about my own funeral. And I don't
think about it in a morbid sense. And every now and then I ask
myself what it is that I would want said and I leave the word
to you this morning.
If any of you are around when
have to meet my day, I

Fresno County's
First

Black Lawyer
Attorney Hugh Goodwin
As the only black lawyer in Fresno County for more than 20 years,
Hugh Wesley Goodwin enjoys a unique position in the community.
Contrary to persistent rumors, Goodwin was not chosen for Fresno.
Rather he chose Fresno because he liked the place and decided he
wanted to practice law here.
As an assistant public defender since the Fresno County Public Defender's office opened six years ago, Goodwin has over the years won a
reputation as a highly respected member of the local legal fraternity and
confidant of the courts.
But it was not always thus.
The soft-spoken, easy going Goodwin recalls the first time he walked
into a local courtroom, he was told by a peace officer on the scene that
he would not be permitted to go beyond the rail separating the lawyers and the judge from the spectators.
Dete~mined to plead his ca~e before the bar as any lawyer could,
Goodwin strode through the rail gate and took his place at the counsel
table before the fuming, but nevertheless silent peace officer.
Fresno as nearly every other community in the nation has felt the effects of the changing times over the past 20 years.
"When I came here, many people believeci this was no place for a
black lawyer," Goodwin said in an interview. "I recall there were a lot
of blacks in Fresno who wondered out loud just what I could do."
However, it was not long before Goodwin was involved in litigation
aimed at breaking down racial barriers locally.
"I represented a group of tenants who sought to break down racial
patterns in low rent housing projects. At the time low rent housing was
assigned on a racial basis, that is all blacks were assigned to a single
project, while all Mexican-Americans were assigned to another and all
whites to a third. The case was settled out of court with an agreement
that all vacancies would be filled on a non-discriminatory basis."
The 52-year-old Goodwin, a native of Pennsylvania, came to California upon graduation from Harvard University at the suggestion of a
law school dean who advised him of a job opening in a United States
Grapevine
40
January-February, 1974

attorney's office.
But the job did not materialize and Goodwin went to work for a
private law firm.
Then one day while driving along Highway 99 Goodwin saw a sign
which read "Fresno, population 96,000."
"I didn't know anything about the place or what it was like, but it
sounded like the size of a town that I wanted to practice law in," he
said. "Besides, at the time I was young and single and nothing to tie
me down."

That was in 1952 and there has been a lot of history since them.
"Up until the 1960s I knew personally every black lawyer in California," he said. "It has been only in recent years that the number of
blacks in the legal profession has increased in the state to a point it
has become impossible to keep up with.
"In talking to black lawyers and black graduate law students
throughout the state, I have found a concern as to whether Fresno could
support another black lawyer because of the limited population here.
"My personal opinion is this reasoning is not valid since I feel at this
time any black lawyer's clientele would not necessarily be limited to
blacks.
"Further, having practiced alone as a black attorney in Fresno, I
concluded the legal services needed here could not be provided by a
single black lawyer.
"It was really this recognition and the realization that I could not do
it alone that prompted me leaving my private practice."
If any more black lawyers.open offices in Fresno, Goodwin says he
feels they will be individuals who were born and raised here, trained
in local law schools and want to continue to live here.
At the same time, Goodwin is pleased by the fact he has received
offers to join staffs of several large law firms.
The turning point in his legal career, Goodwin believes, came several years ago when he won a civil suit against the City of Fresno on
behalf of a client who had been picked up by the police and detained
in a paddy wagon for questioning before being released.
When a claim was submitted to the Fresno City Council prior to filing
the suit, Goodwin recalls it was labeled "a Communistic tactic."
But when the case was heard in court, Goodwin won a favorable
decision.
"It was not a popular thing in those days to stir things up," recalls
Superior Court Judge Leonard I. Meyers. "I saw Mr. Goodwin as an
earnest, able, young man who was up against difficulties which he overcame. I felt his position was justified under the law, that is that everyone is entitled to the same rights and equal treatment under the law
and what is important is the dignity of the individual regardless of his
station ,in life."'
It must be noted at this point, Goodwin never has been vi,ewed as a
radical lawyer. When he appeared in court it was with a respect for the
judicial process. And it probably was this attitude which won him the
respect of his fellow lawyers and the rest of the legal community.
"From then on, I saw a change in attitude of everyone around me,"
Goodwin said.

Attorney Hugh Goodwin and wife, Frances
"In fact, on one occasion I felt complimented when the police chief
remarked to the city council that the police must be doing a good job
since they were getting no more complaints from Mr. Goodwin."
Goodwin's personal philosophy is that things which sometimes seem
bad often turn out to be good .
"Initially I had to try a lot of cases for which I was grossly undercompensated," he said . "But the fact I was involved in those cases I
think helped me to become a good trial lawyer."
Others could not agree with him more.
A deeply religious man , Goodwin has been active in his church and
associated with church groups over the years . During the 1950s and 60s,
he was active in the Fresno Council of Churches and its community action committee. He believes the association of blacks with the church
council led to a good relationship with at least two or more churches
in northeast Fresno.
It was through this association that Goodwin was named to a delegation of Fresnans which responded to the late Rev. Martin Luther King's
call to participate in the civil rights march from Selma to Montgomery,
Ala., in 1965.
Goodwin recalls a somewhat frightening experience when he left a
staging area to telephone friends in Fresno. Upon his return to the area ,
a police officer coldly advised him he would not be allowed to reenter
the area.
"I walked around until I found a place where I could sneak back in,"
he said. "Otherwise I would have missed the bus for the airport to fly
back to Fresno.
42

He said there was no attempt to harm him, but said he had the
feeling "no one was cheering for me."
The Alabama trip set Goodwin to thinking seriously about the civil
rights problems and the black man's role in society.
"I think it made me realize that society is not geared to give immediate relief even though the needs are immediate," he said. "What
was needed was some thought to what could be done in the long run."
Up until then, Goodwin admits he viewed racial attacks more personally.
There was a time when Goodwin believed the key to progress from
the minority point of view was through politics.
He was an unsuccessful candidate for Fresno City Council and the
Fresno County Board of Supervisors and has served on the Fresno County
Democratic Central Committee.
He said at the time he felt the problems facing the black man were
due to ignorance and if people were made aware of the situation they
would do the right thing.
"I no longer believe many of these problems will be resolved in the
political arena," he said. "My feelings now are any lasting solution will
have to come from the religious sector since they are the only ones who
can participate without selfish motives."
The son of a minister, Goodwin finds himself turning more and more
to religion to resolve problems.
"In looking back over the years, I would caution those who feel
solutions to human problems rest in the hands of themselves, their group
or race.
"Black history teaches me that slavery did not end until the leaders
of the slaves committeed themselves and trusted their condition to God,"
he said. "And when they did that after almost conceding this was their
only hope, it was ended in His way. It would be a grave mistake to
forsake a method that has proved successful over the past years. This,
I submit, is the only solution not only in the past but now and in the
future."
Goodwin's interest in religion extends to his participation in Bible
study classes twice a week.
He and his wife, Frances, are the parents of three boys and a girl.
Mrs. Goodwin was the first black teacher employed by the Fresno City
Unified School District.

The Importance

of A
National Identity
Nathan C. Heard
I have been from one end of this continent to the other several times,
and have stopped in many places and discussed everything from race to
space with the numerous black people with whom I've come in contact.
However, Fresno will always stand out in my mind as the one place in
the country where Afro-American citizens (Americans of African descent)
are slowest in keeping up with the rest of the country in the black man's
search for a national identity. This is especially sad when it is plain to
see that Fresno also has such great potential among black people to cast
off the fear (economic and political) of white society.
I fully expect that some "progressive negroes" are going to interpret
what I say as an attack, but I'm not a diplomat and therefore won't attempt to couch what I say in terms which please the ear and soothe hurt
dignities.
Since being in Fresno I have had numerous conversations, and even
arguments, concering Nationality. I have had to defend the fact that
my nationality is not negro (I don't capitalize adjectives unless they begin a sentence). The ironic thing about these conversations is that it is
always negroes who argue that negro is a nationality while white people
are quick to recognize that nationality is not a color (which negro means)
but a binding force on people whose roots are the same.
You can ask almost any white person in this country what his nationaality is and he will respond with an answer which immediately tells you
what his roots are, where his ancestors came from. But when you ask a
self-proclaimed negro of his nationality all you get for an answer is a
color. Negro means black, strictly speaking, but the word is a symbol of
degradation and ignorance that we as people cannot afford to have as
a future.
Ask one of your white co-workers or friends what his nationality is
and the reply you get will be German, French, Irish, etc., a mixture of
two or more European nationalities which clearly define his origins. But
where in the world is Negrovia or Negroland? That's right, no where!
Those who wish to escape their past so badly because of having internalilzed the negative white values about their beginnings have a tendency
to say that their nationality is American. That is a false title because
America is a hemisphere and therefore an Argentine, Cuban or Canadian
is also an American. The question remains : what is your nationality?
For black people in the United States there can be but one real answer;
the answer that more and more black people are beginning to realize and
Grapevine
44
January-February, 1974

· · · · take pride in: I'm sure that many have noticed the not-so-subtle change
in descriptions that have been taking place over the last few years. Even
EBONY, JET, NAACP and the late Martin Luthern King, discarded or are
in the process of discarding negro as a name for a people. For far too
long we have allowed white people to tell us what we are and dictate
what we ought to be. It is about time we defined ourselves for ourselves,
and for our children whom we want to look back at us with pride.
Let us not continue to underplay the importance of a national identity.
It is an invisible power that binds people together in ways which almost
defy understanding. All over the United States people of different nationalities celebrate with ~arades and other festivities of their national origins
-..veryone, that is, but those people who call themselves ne~roes. These
other nationalities celebrate some event, good or bad, that occurred in the
country of their ancestors. It binds them together so much so that they'll
pr9vide for each other even if they don't know why. And when it comes
to dealing with other people they will present a united front--even when
they feel that their "brother" is wrong.
At best the word negro comes from the Latin word niger, which means
black, and at worst it comes from the Greek word necros, which means
dead, lifeless, neutral-which we certainly have been-and which in
transliteration from one language to another can use the consonants
C, G, K, with facility. Necro therefore can easily translate into negro.
The question: What's in a name? Can be quickly answered: Everything.
A name not only identifies what you are but also what you're expected
to be. We all know what white people expect negroes to be. But whites
are a little afraid of what Afro-Americans might be. This is a side of
black people they haven't defined and so it scares them, and it should.
An Afro-American, who has defined himself and has pride in his African
heritage is not going to take the junk that a negro would. His blackness
speaks so loudly that others will not dare to act as though it doesn't
equal their whiteness.
Let us not fool ourselves. White people are not going to wake up one
morning miraculously color-blind-no matter haw many dinner parties
you may be invited to. We have learned to live with the fact that they
are white and they must learn to live with the fact that we are black,
not negroes. We have to be blind fools not to see how deeply whites
cherish their white-ness. Any newspaper, television or radio can all too
quickly verify this. And for every white person who cares enough about
the future of this country to want to halt racism there are ten who want
it continued. The elections of Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan ought
to make this blatantly clear. The way in which Fresno State College is
steadily undercutting black students ought to bring this fact even closer
to the hearts and minds of black Fresnans, not to mention the very strong
opposition of whites to having the IRS Center in West Fresno.
It is my .intention to stop arguing with neg roes about nationality because many of them seem to think that because you want a nationality
you want to run into the streets killing white people. That may sound
stupid but I have actually had negroes say that to me. I'll merely settle
the whole thing by saying: If you don't want a nationality that's all
right with me; and if you don't call me negro I certainly won't call you
black.
