BASIB Presents
"Contributions"
The brothers and sisters
in Blackness (B.A.S.I.B.) at
Guilford College prsents
"Contributions" as the theme
for Journey V (into Blackness)
this year. "Journey into
Blackness" is an annual
B.A.S.I.B. event coordinated
for the purpose of enriching
the Guilford College community
with various cultural events
as they are identified with
black people, black culture,
and black students at Guilford
College. Now in its fifth year
the name "Journey" is derived
from an original program of
events. Voices, Inc. from
New York City performed a
dramatic program entitled
"Journey into Blackness."
This program (of Journey into
Blackness) is the "sequel of
the Voices off-broadway hit.
The Believers" which ran for
one year several seasons ago.
It depicts a musical survey of
history.
This year in Journey's
sequel of events as it presents
"Contributions" on schedule
are: 1) Rod Rodgers Dance
Co. of New York in Dance
Poems 2) Symbol 8 - (dance
band) of Greensboro 3) the
Dudley High School Percussion
Band 4) Speakers forum on
Southern Africa 5) Sickle
Cell Anemia Seminar and
Testing Clinic from the
Triad Area 6) Gospel Service
7) Soul Food Dinner and few
other cultural events. Each
activity offers a contribution to
your cultural experience. An
itinerary of exact dates,
times, and places will be
published at a later date.
"Contributions" says:
We have been a people
moving and discovering
through dances
lifting one's spirit through
songs
delivering the message
through poems
preaching the gospel
through sermons
contributing to the enrichment
of culture, person, and
education
Bringing to nations abroad a
contribution one as deep as
the earth and its Roots ... a
people in blackness
