“Freedom I’ll Hold”
“Freedom I’ll Hold” was the theme of Black Heritage Week which was held February 2-8. The week included the well-known civil rights leader, Rev. Andrew Young, a presentation by the KSC and Coffeyville Community Gospel Choirs, the major attraction “To Be Young, Gifted, and Black”, and several films. The films which were presented were: “The Liberation of L. B. Jones” “Body and Soul,” “Listen Whitey,” “What Do You People Want,” and “The Lost Man”, starring Sidney Poitier and Al Freeman. Also included in the week was a soul food dinner and fashion show, which featured art, jewelry, and fashions by Mr. Timothy McClendon. Highlighting the week was the annual Afro Ball.
Shown here is part of the annual Afro Ball, which ended the activities of Black Heritage Week.

The Student Union Imperial Ballroom was the scene for the Soul Food Dinner of Black Heritage Week.
