Life Members of The ABPsi

 Many of us have heard and perhaps promote the idea that Blacks cannot be racist because Blacks have no Power to exercise over another group because of their race.  Nonsense.

 First, we must recognize a variety of forms of racism:  individual, institutional, and cultural.  Blacks, like any other group, can be racist on each of these dimensions:  by loathing someone (or a group) because of the color of their skin (individual racism), by hiring or not hiring someone because of their so-called “race” (institutional racism), or BY disparaging a group because they supposedly can’t dance, or are “ice people” (cultural racism).

 Second, we are embedded in a racist society.  One cannot be a member of the society without being both victim and perpetrator of racism.  For Blacks, this means the presumption of inferiority and subsequent discrimination by Whites, but it also means our treatment of our brothers and sisters in ways that inappropriately capitulates to this presumption of inferiority.  We perpetrate racism, mostly, by being disparaging of our own group--an internalized racism.  This can take on life-and-death consequences in the gang warfare among the desperately poor and marginalized.

 The idea that Blacks are without power is also false.  Instead, we should view ourselves as the most powerful group on the face of the Earth.  Our power derives from our spirit-ness:  our self-conscious recognition of the spirit within, and our millennia-long struggle for spiritual and material liberation.

 Just as we cannot repair the racism manifested within the so-called White “race” as long as that “race” denies its reality; so too we cannot repair the racism within Blacks as long as we hold on to the false and romantic idea that “Blacks cannot be racist.”  Let’s be real and combat racism from within and without.

The Association of Black Psychologists begins the new millennium with the highest level of local, national, and international visibility in its 33-year history.  Despite this fact, there are large numbers of students of African ancestry in colleges and universities in America who have never heard of this Association.

The ABPsi also opens this year in great need of financial and human resources to continue to survive in this global arena of White supremacy.  Those who have agreed to work in front-line positions of The Association at this crucial time invite you to step forward and join us strongly committed to expanding our financial and human resources.  We have a legacy to uphold--to nourish, to protect, and to strengthen--so that it can be passed on to the next generation.  We cannot leave them without a solid foundation from which to build and dream.  To remain uninvolved threatens to abandon young psychologists anxious for our guidance, and deserts the broader population of African ancestry people living and dying in mortal pain.

Fragmentation, isolation, and feelings of alienation are pervasive. How can we heal ourselves and simultaneously provide healing services to others?  This is a major challenge that we face.  Our mandate as Black psychologists is to provide leadership in moving our people to healthier physical, mental, emotional and spiritual functioning.

 When we share a load we make it lighter.  A team can accomplish more than individuals acting independently.  Those of us who are serving on the front-line, the Board of Directors (BOD) and Committee Chairs and Co-chairs, ask you to join us this year in service to The ABPsi.  Donate time and financial contributions as you would to any church or charitable organization that is devoted to your values.  Only busy people are willing to work; so if you’re very busy, then you qualify!

 The ABPsi seeks human rights and dignity for all, thus challenging the ideology and practice of White supremacy.  The goal is to work until every vestige of these and other destructive forces are dismantled and replaced with human rights and social justice.

 To all members of The Association of Black Psychologists, I am asking you to join in strengthening our financial resources and ensuring the continued pursuit of excellence and organizational stability.  The current Board and its committees are committed to establishing and overseeing organizational and business practices to protect the financial resources that we accrue.

 The ABPsi deserves a well functioning office administration that is representative of the talents and expertise of its members.  Our collective responsibility is to the international collective of African ancestry people, other oppressed groups, and the oppressors.  The demand for our leadership, guidance and counsel is growing here and abroad.  The rapidity and expansiveness of tele-communications greatly enhances our reciprocal contact with our people.  More than ever we need an office and an office staff that is equipped to accurately handle the demands in this age of information technology.  There is no room for error.  Additionally, as a part of the staff, we must have someone who understands and shares The Association’s vision and has the insights and capabilities to assist in outreach for the purpose of exploring and expanding our resources, visibility and services.

 At this time, our financial resources come mainly from membership dues, Psych Discourse revenue, and member donations.  We would like to increase the income in each of these categories and create others.  Plans for creating other funding sources, which will require time and money to institute, will be shared with you in a future issue of Psych Discourse. However, at this moment, please submit your membership dues for 2001-02 (the membership year began August 1, 2001) to the national office.  Elsewhere in this issue of Psych Discourse is an opportunity for you to join this year’s distinguished list of benefactors in our Annual Campaign.  I also invite your active participation in your chapter, which strengthens the chapter as well as the organization as a whole.

 Please pay close attention to all mail from The Association for announcements of opportunities to serve African ancestry communities as a member of a team devoted to the “liberation of the African mind.”

 In An Autobiography; or, The Story of My Experiments with Truth (1927/1984), Mohands (later Mahatma) Gandhi wrote, “I felt that the only way the guilty parties could be made to realize my distress and the depth of their own fall would be for me to do some penance.  So I imposed upon myself a fast for seven days and a vow to have only one meal a day for [four and a half months]” (p. 312).

Now that I have gone more than a year (since July 4, 2000) without a solid meal, in protest of the racial discrimination that Pomona College inflicted upon me by denying me tenure and promotion from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor, Gandhi’s words ring even truer to me today than was the case when I began my fast (see Gaines, 2000).  Fasting and similar dietary restrictions were specific behaviors that reflected Gandhi’s principle of nonviolent protest – a principle that the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. not only intellectually embraced but also put into practice during the historic Civil Rights Movement in the United States during the 1950s and 1960s (King, 1999).

 During the first two weeks of my fast, I took in nothing but water and vitamins.  Subsequently, I added fruit juices and protein drinks; still later, I added soups.  Prior to adding protein drinks, my weight plummeted from 169 to 138 pounds; more recently, my weight has stabilized at 144 pounds.  I cannot adequately describe the level of self-discipline that I have had to maintain in order to continue fasting (and, as a result, to continue protesting).  During the past year, I have endured financial bankruptcy and unemployment; yet I have also experienced a spiritual awakening, even as I have struggled to regain solid financial footing.

 As it turns out, my trials and tribulations could have been anticipated from Gandhi’s (1927/1984) autobiography.  Gandhi wrote, “As I searched myself deeper, the necessity for changes both internal and external began to grow on me.  As soon as, or even before, I made alterations in my expenses and my way of living, I began to make changes in my diet” (p. 66).  I understand why the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was so moved by Gandhi’s words and actions that King undertook a pilgrimage to India in order to meet family and friends of Gandhi (who had been assassinated several years before King’s visit; King, 1999).

 I have filed a lawsuit against Pomona College.  As I write this retrospective, Pomona College’s lawyers and the bankruptcy estate lawyers are working toward a settlement.  However, my fasting will continue indefinitely.  In the wake of my efforts to expose racism at Pomona College, that institution passed rules effective in its 2000-2001 Faculty Handbook which make it harder than ever for faculty members to file discrimination grievances without becoming targets of retaliation.  Even if I do receive a settlement from Pomona College, the injustice at that institution will remain uncorrected.  Therefore, the struggle continues.

 I wish to thank the members of the Association of Black Psychologists (ABPsi), individually and collectively, for lending me support as I have waged my nonviolent battle against Pomona College.  Psych Discourse was the first national publication to call attention to my plight; and it is the only publication – whether national or local – to continue to call attention to my situation, more than a year into my fast-in-protest.

Paradigm City

to escape reality
i enter the paradigm city of virtual reality
everything follows my pace

it's a place where exists-not the word mayhem
and the color blue receives much applause
but it's not without flaws

it's a place where thought alone can breach
where a few words can solve a page's question
need i mention its appellation?

it's a place where even the homeless
are sheltered with an endearing caress
of buildings so fascinating and uncanny

in my mind is the blue print of a perfect city
that's imperturbable by problems of reality
I call it the paradigm city.

I Wish I Could Fly High

    With sky's blue mattress beneath me
    And sky's puffy blanket so cloudy
    I soar and where to is unknown to me
    And flying high speed velocity
    Who cares what path I take
    They're all the same.

Iridescent Glow

    strongly seized in the hands of jubilation
    is the day I shall succeed
    I shall look back on my past partition
    and the iron curtain I melted to grab success with
                  greed

    On that day, the earth will surely feel my presence
    for fireworks will light up my celebration!
    and my glow shall not be repressed
    as I continue to seek higher limits of which I
        now possess but a fraction.

Born on Saturday, February 13, 1982, at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State, Nigeria, Nnamdi hails from an extended family of intellectuals, artists and custodians of tradition. His paternal great grandfather, Albert Nwosu Igbo, was a Methodist missionary clergyman, who in the 1930s translated the Gospel According to St. Mark and several hymns from the Methodist Hymn Book into the Igede language of present day Benue State in Nigeria. His maternal cousins and aunts include an artist and accomplished singers like his mother, Chioma. His paternal grandmother and her siblings include professional artists. His father, Chukwuma, a university professor of literature, and his paternal uncles (Ikechukwu, Uzoma, Chike, the late Chidi, and Nnorom) have all published fiction and poetry, and include a professional artist and an architect. It can thus be said that, in many ways, Nnamdi's passion for creativity through a wide range of media—poetry, painting, drawing, etc—is inborn. By the same token, his sister, Ijeoma, and brothers (Chisom and Ogadi) are poets and artists. But his precocity is unparalleled in the annals of the two families whose blood flowed through his veins. A consummate Zen philosopher by nature and inclination, he allowed things to work themselves out without any stressful reordering of their ebb and flow. This is the essence of his poetic manifesto:

    When I write poetry,
    I disregard everything I knew
    And write what I know at that moment
 
 

 What would you do if a mysterious stranger showed up at your job and implored you to visit the Public Health Department? Upon visiting the Health Department, how would you react if you were informed that a previous sexual partner had tested positive for the HIV virus? What if these events occurred five days before your wedding?

Most of us are relieved that this is only speculation, but these questions and others are explored in a provocative new film: One Week.  The movie depicts a week in the life of a young, African American male who discovers he may have contracted HIV.  Should he inform his fiancé of his status or keep it a secret?  One Week carefully explores issues such as secrecy, infidelity, and fear as they relate to HIV transmission in the African American community.  The story dramatically illustrates –without losing its sense of humor--that no one is immune to contracting HIV.  The film highlights the fact that HIV is no longer a “gay man’s disease” since heterosexual intercourse is now the primary mode of transmission. Yet, the movie ultimately offers a message of responsibility, hope, and love in the face of seeming adversity.

 Members of The Association of Black Psychologists should support this movie.  The first reason is because this movie tells a story about us and is written by an African American film company, Griot Filmworks.  Further, the movie is being distributed by a Black distribution company, Film Life.  We should support the endeavors of Griot Filmworks and Film Life as they make and distribute high quality, Black films independent of the Hollywood system.

The last reason has to do with the mission of this organization, which is to liberate African people throughout the Diaspora.  We must recognize that there are “soldiers” in our community with similar goals but different tactics.  It is imperative that we unite with filmmakers, poets, playwrights, authors, and singers who are empowering our people through popular culture.  As an organization of healers, we must applaud artists who uphold empowerment and liberation, and enlighten those who are unaware of the struggle.  This can happen two ways.  First, our organization can actively support artists who offer messages of liberation and empowerment.  Many of these artists never receive enough media attention, and ABPsi could aid in their messages being brought to our people despite the absence of mainstream media attention.  Second, we could invite these artists to our national conferences so that they could use our theories and research to continue their messages of liberation through popular culture. The time is now!

 One Week will open Friday, October 5, 2001 in Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.  After a two week run in those cities, the movie will then open in Washington D.C., Detroit, Newark, and Atlanta.  If you don’t see your city in this list, work to bring One Week to your area.  First, encourage everyone that you know in those cities to support the movie on opening weekend.  A strong opening ensures that the movie will remain in theaters and will facilitate the movie being brought to other markets.  Another way to bring One Week to your area is to call or write Film Life in order to request that the movie open in your city.  Letters, phone calls, and emails may be directed to Yasmin Chin c/o Film Life, 100 6th Avenue, 2nd Floor, New York NY 10013, (212) 219-7283, and yasmin@thefilmlife.com. Requests for your particular area can also be made at www.oneweekthemovie.com under the section titled “theater info.”  Lastly, call and write your local theaters to request that the movie be brought to your area for viewing purposes.  Inform the theater managers that you wish for One Week to be shown in your area and give them the appropriate information so that they can contact Film Life.  Let’s all support the endeavors of these young African American filmmakers as they offer hope, encouragement, and empowerment to our people.

Authors note: Carl Seaton, the cowriter and director of One Week, is my esteemed older brother.  Please join my family as we celebrate and support his imminent success.  For further information, I can be reached at eseaton@astro.temple.edu.
Editor’s note:  Eleanor Seaton is a doctoral student in Developmental Psychology at Temple University.

Like most Student Circle members who attended our National Convention in Denver, I am still on an ABPsi high.  Friendships were established, mentors were gained, knowledge was shared, and some of us were blessed enough to come home with new found employment.  Hopefully those students who could not attend this year’s conference will put forth special effort to join us next year in San Diego, as to not miss another blessing.

On behalf on the Student Circle members in attendance, I would like to send a special thank you to Immediate Past President Dr. Anthony Young, National Convention Co-Chairs Willene Nelson and Art Atwell, and to the Denver-Rocky Mountain Chapter of ABPsi for a wonderful conference.  In addition, we are filled with love and gratitude for the many ABPsi members and friends who supported the Student Circle by buying patron ads and t-shirts.  We would also like to thank Student Circle member, Shawn Thompson for donating a portion of the proceeds from his poetry book, Epiphenomena, to the Student Circle.  Through these efforts, we raised approximately $5000. (If you would like to buy a t-shirt, email me at satira@juno.com; if you would like to purchase a copy of Epiphenomena, email Shawn at sakhu@netzero.net)

Money raised will be used for travel awards, Student Circle programs, and to assist with making connections with psychology students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) who could benefit from involvement in our organization.  Several of us have discussed the small numbers of students from HBCUs who pursue post-graduate studies in psychology.  Circle members have expressed their desire to change this by reaching out to all of the HBCUs in the nation.  We also plan on strengthening our international ties by establishing firm connections with students at the University of Ghana.  This effort was kicked off by Keteku Yaw, our very special quest who attended the conference from the University to present a paper on HIV/AIDS awareness among Ghanaian university students.  Please email me to share ideas you have for the upcoming year.  Also, please send your email address to Tima Smith, FUNMI5@hotmail.com or Eleanor Seaton, eseaton@astro.temple.edu to be included in our new Student Circle list serve.
During the convention a new Central Committee was elected.  Our new committee embodies the genius that is represented throughout our organization.  (The list of 2001-02 Central Committee members is in the Announcements pages of this issue of Psych Discourse.)

Members of our new Central Committee are eager to connect with you so please contact them, welcome them to their new positions, and share your ideas and encouragement for the upcoming year.

In addition to a new Central Committee, the Student Circle voted unanimously on five new committees that include:

Research Network/Student Circle Directory Committee
Chairperson: Eleanor Seaton, eseaton@astro.temple.edu

Membership Recruitment Committee
Chairperson: Chatee’ Richardson, afrcnprncess@aol.com

The question of whether or not to use public funds for private schools has been debated in different states for several years.  Last year, it became a national issue when President George Bush included school vouchers as a part of his education reform package.

Because of the potential impact on our children, the Education and Assessment Committee of the General Assembly has been charged with developing a Position Statement on the issue of school vouchers. Arguments have been made for and against vouchers.  Input is needed from The ABPsi membership to ensure that the Position Statement is representative of the majority of the members.  Some of the pros and cons are reported below.  Please refer to the list and, along with your personal/professional viewpoint, send us your opinions!

School Vouchers:  Pro Statements

1. Private schools provide outstanding educational opportunities for their students.  School vouchers allow qualified students without the financial means to attend private schools that have higher academic standings than many of the public schools.
2. Private schools enhance the education of all the children in America.  Private schools have more academic freedom to experiment with various teaching techniques than public schools. Supporting private schools with public monies allows them to continue to provide a quality education to those students who meet the entrance requirements and to develop more effective teaching techniques--which can be used in public schools as well.
3. Many private schools are owned and managed by ABPsi members and many “ABPsi children” attend private schools.  Thus, vouchers could provide direct benefits to our membership.

School Vouchers:  Con Statements

1. Public monies will be used to support private schools, which the majority of our children will not be able to attend.  Vouchers may supplement tuition costs, but are seldom large enough to allow the financially disadvantaged, working class or struggling middle class to send their children to private schools. In addition to tuition fees, the parents of children attending private schools are frequently required to make commitments of time to volunteer for committees, to transport students, etc.
2. Government vouchers open the door to government control.  Private schools are selective in admitting students, and can concentrate on instruction for a particular population rather than modifying curriculum for a diverse population.  Strings would be attached to government vouchers.  (Could the school continue to accept only Black males, only gifted, etc?  Will the curriculum have to be modified to meet some government code?)
3. Vouchers will destroy the public schools.  Money needed to support and improve public schools will go to private schools, decreasing the possibility of maintaining or reaching state criteria for certification.  The majority of students attending those decertified schools will then be denied a free appropriate public education.  (This happened in Virginia in response to the 1994 Brown vs. Topeka Board of Education of the U.S. Supreme Court. The Governor of Virginia ordered several schools to close in 1958 and tuition grants were created by the state legislature to allow pupils to attend non-sectarian “private academies”.  Some public schools reopened in a few months with a “freedom of choice“ policy, but some remained closed until they were forced open in 1964 by the U.S. Supreme Court.) Could history repeat itself?  Could there again be children in America receiving no education?)

The question of whether or not public monies should be used to support private schools through the use of vouchers is important to our community.  ABPsi needs to be proactive on the issue and develop a Position Statement.   Please take the time to write or fax The ABPsi General Assembly Education and Assessment Committee and tell us how you feel. The Education and Assessment Committee will draft the Position Statement at the General Assembly Mid-Year meeting in Tallahassee, Florida in January 2002.  You are invited to attend the meeting and to help with this endeavor.

Mail your response to:  Evelyn K. Young, Education and Assessment Committee, 1506 Greycourt Ave., Richmond, VA.  23227.  Fax your response to:  Evelyn Young, 804-343-6515.  (Voice:  804-262-5710).

Many thanks to the members and friends who made pledges to The Association of Black Psychologists to support fiscal year 2001/2002 during the National Convention in Denver, Colorado. Your financial support enables us to achieve the operational and administrative needs that support the overall mission and objective of the organization. The goal for annual contributions this year is $30,000. We received $19,825 in pledges at the Convention, and wish to extend an invitation for current readers to join the distinguished list of contributors.  The following chart provides the funds received to date as a result of the pledges made during the National Convention.  Contributors are warmly urged to complete their pledges at the earliest possible date.

Members who still need to send pledges and others who wish to add to our annual campaign may remit your pledge to The Association of Black Psychologists at P.O. Box 55999, Washington, D.C. 20040-5999.   (See Pledge Form, opposite page.)  Your continued generosity and commitment to the financial stability of the organization is greatly appreciated. On behalf of The Association of Black Psychologists, I would like to extend our warmest thanks for your contributions. We look forward to success in the coming year to strengthen the financial stability of the organization. Your assistance in this effort is necessary for The ABPsi to achieve this goal.

 For at least the last 15 years, our annual fund raising drive has ensured the financial health of The ABPsi.  Because last year’s Convention in Ghana posed a number of logistical problems, a fund raising effort was not conducted at the Installation Banquet.  The result is that we are more in need of contributions today than we have been for several years.

 This year, we seek funds to shore up our Future Fund (ABPsi’s Endowment), and to add to a Building Fund as ABPsi makes plans to move into a new facility within the next two years.  We also recognize a need to provide more financial support for the travel of our National President.

 Your tax-deductible gifts are urgently needed and sincerely appreciated.  The Presidents’ Council asks that you match their recommended gifts of $1,000.00, although any amount is very much appreciated.  (At the annual banquet, eight Past Presidents pledged $8,000.00.)
