I f the walls of the J. Wayne Stark Gallery
could talk today, they would weave a tale
of struggle, triumph and inspiration.
Currently housed in the gallery is a collec
tion of images and photographs entitled “I
Dream A World: Portraits of Black Women
Who Changed America.”
The exhibit features over 75 African-Amer
ican women who made influential or distinc
tive impacts on American society and lives.
For the MSC Black Awareness Committee
(BAG), who is sponsoring the event, this ex
hibit has been a long time coming. Two years
of their diligence and dedication helped bring
the collection to A&M.
BAG Chair and a sophomore journalism
major LaSondra Carroll said the timing of the
presentation is no accident.
“We thought it best fitting to have the ex
hibit during Women’s Month,” Carroll said.
She said the transition between Black His
tory Month and Women’s History Month was
a key consideration as well.
“It is important when you look at both
black history and women’s struggles,” Carroll
said. “The contributions of Black women are
often overshadowed.”
This exhibit, however, brings the accom
plishments of these women to the forefront.
Cathy Hastedt, curator of the Stark Gal
leries said this exhibit greets visitors not only
with exceptional photography, but also a
great deal of history and information about
the featured women.
“I think with a lot of these women, the
names are familiar, but maybe the accom
plishments were not,” Hastedt said.
She said the women’s contributions are es
pecially exceptional when one considers the
context in which they were achieved.
“When you keep in mind the time and part
of the United States these women lived in, these
achievements are incredible,” Hastedt said.
The women in the exhibit run the
of social position and professional c
dan, activist Angela Davis, Nobel Pri:
ning-author Toni Morrison and Civil
matriarch Rosa Parks.
But this exhibit also highlights
known women whose contributions r
have received as much publicity and n
tion as they deserved.
Rosa Parks, an influential Afrk:
woman of the ’60s represents c-
featured women at the J. Wayne
Congresswomen, authors to da
Hastedt said.
Two of the featured women will be

Making a Helpful Connection
NxNG ’98 works in conjunction with Junction Five-O-Five, brazos Va
By James Francis
Aggielife editor
N orth by Northgate represents
a time for diverse music
scenes to come together in a
three-day event, but there are two
venues where music is not played
and people work for a different cause.
This first of what is planned to
be an annual music festival will be
lending a helpful hand to Junction
Five-O-Five and the Brazos Valley
Food Bank.
“Brazos Valley Food Bank was
the first name that was brought up
when we thought of who could
benefit,” Don Anz, member of the
Northgate District Association
said. “Junction Five-O-Five hires
physically and mentally chal
lenged people ... they are going to
be volunteering by loading in and
out band equipment.”
As far as to why Junction Five-O-
Five and the Brazos Valley Food Ban k
were chosen, Anz said it was due to
their good work for the community.
“Brazos Valley Food Bank
seemed to be the most visible," he
said. “Maybe next year we can in
clude some more charities.
“They [Junction Five-O-Five]
do a lot of recycling for Bryan and
\
IS
College Station: you can take your
newspaper, plastics and glassware
there,” Anz said.
Mark McKenzie, assistant pro
gram and music director for KHLR
103.9 the X, said both the music
festival and the charities will help
each other in the long run.
“With doing this, we’re hoping
to bring the music scene in College
Station into a more visible form for
everyone who lives here,” McKen
zie said. "If we can benefit some
charities and make them visible as
well, then all the better.”
