Lt. Governor Roland Leudtke, Mayor Helen Boosalis
and City Councilman John Robinson were among com
munity leaders who helped kick off the opening ceremon
ies of Black History Month.
Observance of Black History Month includes a list o!
activities through the month of February.
The opening ceremony was also highlighted by a
musical performance by football player Anthony Steeles
and a dramatic reading of Martin Luther King's "1 have
a Dream" speech.
Leudtke told the audience of about 100 that the Ne
braska state government is dedicated to carry out affirma
tive action programs.
"Most of our basic civil rights are here," Leudtke said.
"But it has taken a long time. It took almost 90 years to
get to 1975 when we finally established the Equal Oppor
tunities Commission.
Awesome responsibility
He said that carrying out the task of establishing
affirmative action programs in Nebraska is "an awesome
responsibility" but added that it is long overdue.
In addition to state government, Boosalis said Lincoln
is aware of the importance of affirmative action in city
government. She told the audience that by executive
order, an affirmative action program was implemented
two weeks ago.
She also said Black History Week offers Americans the
opportunity to be aware of the "extraordinary role blacks
have played" in American history.
i ouiiciuiiaii j'"" iwiiu-jwii, iiiv wmjr uiuin uiciiioer on
the city council, urged black students at UNL to get in
volved with the communities in Lincoln.
Role models
"A big problem with black students on campus is that
they isolate themselves." Robinson said. "You have to
step off campus and into the community where you can
present positive role models for young black people.
Young people think that the university campus is off
limits. It is the burden of young black students to step
into the community,"
Robinson said that it is important that blacks realize
they -can be lawyers, doctors and bankers and can own
businesses.
"Blacks need to deal more effectively at the market
place," he told the audience. "Hopefully one day people
will come to blacks as suppliers and not consumers.
The State Director of Motor Vehicles and a former citv
council member Pete Peterson said the time has come for
Nebraskans to develop more black pride.
Remember the past
"We have to think about the past so that we are en
couraged about the future," Peterson said.
He also said that he felt he would be "watched closely"
in his newly appointed position and told the audience that
he would do everything he could in his position to help
the black image in Nebraska.
UNL faculty members also participated in the opening
ceremonies.
Dr. Donald Osborne of the Institute of Lthnic Studies
and assistant professor of educational administration
served as the master of ceremonies for the event. He said
the ceremony marked the beginning of awareness of the
black contribution to American history.
"The struggle of equal rights is by no means over."
Osborne said. "This month should serve as a reminder of
how much has been accomplished as well as how much
will be accomplished."
