“What became of the Black people of Sumner?” the traveler asked the old man, for ancient records show that the
people of Sumner were Black. “What happened to them?” “Ah,” the old man sighed. “They lost their history,
So they died.” --A Sumerian Proverb to remind Black people to remember and document their history.

impossible can be accomplished. This newsletter is dedicated to our unity as we make it plain
that with our courage, shared vision and common purpose, we can accomplish our highest goals.

I Am Missing Your Letters to the Editor
While I wait for the Mail . . . Here is
A Letter from the Editor:
It has been several months since the last edition of the newsletter. I’ve
been away. California, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada. I was joyfully hiking
with my sons in the canyons and mountains that were home to the Navajo and
Apache tribes. Then tubing down the Salt River in Arizona. Burying one
family member at sea, and another one in New Orleans. Hot air ballooning in
Sedona as part of one friend’s wedding and then off to Las Vegas for my
nephew's wedding. Hot tubs and retreats and theater parties with friends, and
adventures in fine dining along the way. It has been a long, hot, and wonderful
summer for me with family and friends.
But my most inspirational adventure occurred in Los Angeles when a
dear friend, Rev. Hasani Perry, asked me to help create Certificates of
Appreciation for a local group of young people. I’ve been inspired by Rev.
Perry’s work and hope to recreate something similar to her program in Indian
River County for our neighborhood youth. I agree with her that acknowledging
young people’s existence, honoring their challenges, listening to their views,
and encouraging them to have plans and dreams for their future can be our best
bet in helping them prepare for a successful and productive future. Cooperation
and encouragement are so much more effective than criticism and judgment.
Rev. Perry’s story and a photo follow. If you like this idea, let’s get together
and make it happen in your neighborhood. Email me at [email protected]
or call 772-558 5118. Rev. Crystal Bujol, Editor
The Focus: Today's Teenagers
One Neighborhood's Effort to Make A Difference. They came from up the
street, down the street, and across the street---a group of curious and thankful
African-American teenagers from the same neighborhood and the very same block
in Leimert Park. Their destination was the backyard of retired CBS pioneer
broadcaster Joseph Dyer and his wife, Doris. Two visiting boys even interrupted
their pickup basketball game to attend this unique backyard gathering where their
friends were being honored as "Jr. Legends.” (continued next column)
The brains behind this get-together were Dr. A. Hasani Perry and her sister,
Nirankar Kaur Khalsa. They wanted to acknowledge the young people, ages 13 to
27, whom they had observed growing up on their Dublin Ave. block. (Cont. next col.)
They wanted to thank them for being who they
are and encourage them to continue their positive growth. It also provided an opportunity for
the youngsters to get to know each other better
and share their dreams, hopes and ambitions.
And, share they did.
One youngster publicly thanked his
friend's father, who serves as a mentor for
several boys, for "being the best dad I never
had.” Several boys are aspiring to become
professional basketball players. One wants to
be successful enough to buy a house for his
grandmother, who raised him after the death of
his mother. A girl spoke of how she earlier
wanted to become a fashion designer and now
wants to do something that will be of greater
service to humanity. Still another girl desires to
become an actress and a novelist. A brother
and sister, both in college, are studying
Psychology. The youngest in attendance,
Christian Bouldin, 13, said he wants to be a
music producer. Other honorees were Melanie
Yvonne Clark, Dante Jamal and Monique
Janae Mitchell, Britney Lynn and Johathan
Ryan Hayes, Cameron and Cierra Rawls,
Cynthia and Kalan Jingles.
An "elder" Jr. Legend, Sean Saunders,
has already begun living his dream as a
member of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
His brother Orin, also a firefighter, was on
duty and could not attend, but called to express
his best wishes and support for the effort.
The sisters shared skills to help the
youngsters continue their success in life.

thereby preventing exhaustion of the heart muscle. The deep diaphragmatic breathing, the
rotation of the torso and the extension and withdrawal of the limbs gives a powerful boost
to the circulation of blood throughout the body by alternately compressing and releasing
pressures in the abdominal and chest cavities. Wolcott demonstrated how to adopt the
mental/physical exercise of bone, belly and body breathing that helps to prolong one’s lifespan. This movement is called, “Bathing in the Golden River.”

he sits with friends

“Perry Could Fill Void In U.S. Women's
Tennis,” said Liz Clarke, Washington Post Staff
Writer, in her article on Wednesday, August 30, 2006;
Says Clarke, “The story may sound familiar: An AfricanAmerican girl learns to play tennis from her father, hones
her game at the local public parks, moves to Florida to
train year-round and goes on to compete at Wimbledon,
where she achieves more than any other U.S. player, male
or female.”

What Does Zina Think?
"She is so gifted!" said Fed Cup Captain Zina
Garrison, who has tracked her progress for years. "Her
hands are some of the most talented hands I've seen in a
long time. She hasn't quite understood just how gifted she is
yet, but she can pretty much get anything and everything
back. Shenay is one of those people that make things
happen." She had a racket in her hand at 4, trailing her
father, a Washington firefighter, to the courts every chance
she got. At age 5 she caught the eye of Doris Harrison, a
longtime Washington area tennis booster, who steered her
to the Tennis and Education Foundation, where she
blossomed.”
Gifford Girls Can Start As Early as Age 3!!!
Sign up Today!
Garrison continues, “I believe Perry can climb even higher
and, in a move that reflected my confidence in her, I named
her to the Fed Cup squad that upset Germany this spring.”
“One thing I really like about Shenay is she is very good in
the moment, and that's a great attribute," Garrison said.
"She has a nice, laid-back personality, but I want,
sometimes, a lot more fire out of her." This space

~ Yes! I’ve Done Something Good in My Life ~
So often, it seems, many of us find ourselves thinking about
the mistakes and errors we’ve made in the past, all of our so-called
‘bad’ decisions, regrets and missed opportunities. Sometimes that
kind of negative thinking can keep us glued tightly to the past. We
become distressed and feel hopeless in the struggle to get free of our
guilt, sorrow, shame, and pain. One of the healing remedies to that
kind of 'dis-ease' (lack of ease) is to take time to not only count our
blessings but also to mark the blessing that we have been to others
throughout our lives.
If you have a 300-word story about yourself that you are
willing to share with the newsletter community, please send it to me:
Gifford Newsletter, c/o Gifford Youth Activities Center, 4875 43rd
Avenue, Gifford, FL 32967 or email to: [email protected]. You
may find that writing your story is not only uplifting to you, but is
inspiring and heartening to our readers as well. If you need
assistance in writing your story, call me and I or someone from my
staff will be more than happy to assist you.
In response to a request to receive these kinds of stories
about Something Good I’ve Done in My Life, Charles Hughes and I
worked on this ‘confession’ about what good he has done in his life.

help strengthen the body and mind. She talked about the importance of
having a strong nervous system. Perry led a visualization in which everyone
could see themselves living their highest visions. The youth also received
information regarding the meaning of their names, to help them understand
their purpose in life. The adults enthusiastically joined in all the exercises.
Some later shared their own insights and intentions to use these techniques
in the future.
Everyone affirmed Dr. Perry's favorite affirmation, "I Am, You Are,
We Are Strong, Loving, and Capable."
In addition to honoring the youth, the sisters thanked the parents and
grandparents for doing such a beautiful job of raising wonderful young
I am Charles Hughes, the manager of the wig
department at Total Beauty Salon (see Business
Dir. for address and hours). Since 1995 I have
donated wigs to the American Society and over
5000 wigs over seas. It’s my mission, which is
also my ministry.
I’ve seen women and children who,
mostly because of illness, wanted a covering for
their heads. I wanted to do something about
their need because I understood this kind of
emotional pain. I was encouraged to start my
mission by Mrs. Catherine Augby, Mrs. Lillie
Pearl Young and her husband Rev. L. Young,
Mrs. Doretha Cookley Reese and Mrs. Lucille
West, who also donated some of their wigs to
the American Society Wig Drive.
I thank God for my many friends
throughout Indian River and St. Lucie Counties
and the wig companies who donated through
me. Some of those companies are: TWC,
Amekor, Gold Medal hair Products and Total
Beauty Supply. Because of their generous
donations, I have been able to donate to women
of all colors these much needed wigs.
Besides using the American Cancer
Society to distribute the wigs, I have also been
able to make donations through Annie Kate
Jackson and the St. Lucie County Charmettes
for the past eight years.
I am happy I can be of help to others.
I’ve been helped by plenty of people in my own
life. My Mentors are Apostle Theresa Floyd,
Mrs. Martha Robinson, Mrs. Meloina Francis
and Mrs. Grace Perry.
My motto is: “To carry my mission to
the utmost part of the world.” I’m happy to be
of service. I’m thankful that in my life, I’ve
done something good. Thank you for
encouraging me to write my testimony. ▲
people. Joseph Dyer, who smashed racial barriers in 1965 to
become the first African American journalist hired by a Los
Angeles network television station, ended the afternoon by
challenging the youth to "hold fast to your dreams", and added that
"there is no such thing as failures, only people who just quit."
Dr. Perry and her sister, Nirankar Kaur Khalsa, are long term
educators serving families and children, in private and public
settings, including Los Angeles Unified School District. It is their
hope that such gatherings with neighborhood teenagers be
replicated throughout the city. They said "It's a beginning."
Clearly, Leimert Park has taken the point in establishing a
model. ▲

Porch Council for
Super Achievers
They built a new home for
Margaret "Big Mama"
Brown in less than 24
hours, mainly as a way to
keep the 62-year-old
Brown from becoming
homeless once her right to
a FEMA trailer expires.
Brown's new home was
the culmination of a
project launched more
than two years ago by
Julianne Price, an
environmental specialist
with the Indian River

Department, and Sheriff's
Detective Teddy Floyd,
who worked together to
assess the needs of West

SUPER ACHIEVERS ITENERARY
Continued from Page 3
Monday - The first stop was to Florida
A&M University where the students were given a
"walking" tour of the school. Let's just say the
"hills were hard to climb.” After lunch the
students received a powerful motivation speech
from the Deputy Chief John Proctor, Leon County
Sheriff's Department.
Just across the street is the Capitol
where we were given a tour and was in the right
place at the right time to witness a mock
legislation. African American students from FSU
and FAMU were pretending to pass bills on
several different hot topics. The following house
representatives were there Rep. Matthew J.
"Matt" Meadows, Ft. Lauderdale, Haitian
American Rep. Yolly Roberson, Miami and Rep.
Terry Fields, Jacksonville. The students received a
certificate for attending.
Tuesday - The first stop was the
Supreme Court where we met the Honorable
Judge Peggy Quince. She is the first AfricanAmerican woman to sit on the state's highest
Court and the third female Justice. The students
were then given a chance to showcase their talents
with a mock trial about teenage curfews.
We then enjoyed a lunch which was
sponsored by Gifford's own Spencer Ingram of
Ingram's Accounting Firm in Tallahassee. After
lunch the students were given a tour of his firm.
A surprise visit to the top black law firm in
Tallahassee "Park & Crump" was exciting and
motivating. Just as we arrived Daryl Parks
walked in and gave us a personal tour of the law
firm. Later that evening we enjoyed a softball
game with FAMU beating out BCC. ▲.
Wednesday - As we head home from a
long trip we make our last stop in Daytona Beach
at Bethune Cookman College. The students were
given a tour of the campus and a tour of the very
house Mary McLeod Bethune lived in.
All in all, I believe the goal was met, to
encourage our minority students to a reach
for a higher education. ▲
