" The second annual observance of Black History Month took place at Harding University this year during the month of February. "The Black Perspective: A Better Understanding" remained the theme for this year's celebration as well, with several programs planned and performed by black students at Harding. Purpose of the programs, according to Richard King, Bible instructor and faculty sponsor for the students, was to show the black person's perspective of life and to show blacks as well as whites where black people have been and where they're going. The 1983 program was more entertaining than last year's informative-oriented presentation. Much of the credit went to transfer student Veronica Williams, a Spring Sing hostess this year, who wrote the show; Angela Dean, who edited it; and seniors Willie Darden and Dewayne Allen, who directed the show. CCP student Erroll Keller and his wife, Rhonda, also had major roles in the production, along with senior Marneda Wade. "I've been here seven years," said King, one of two black faculty members. /lThree years ago we tried to start a program but couldn't get it off the ground. It's an excellent public relations tool James Kiggins offered another viewpoint: "The programs show that we have unity and it gives us a chance to establish ourselves at a predominantly white university." Student productions included a musical program February 5, " The Gospel Explosion," at which several out-of-state groups performed spirituals along with a group from Harding, a chapel program February 18, and the tit le production February 28, which was a chronologica l view of black roles in American society.
