                  BLACK HISTORY TELECONFERENCE TRIBUTE

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 8, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, for the past 7 years during the month of 
February, the South Carolina Educational Network has held a 
teleconference to showcase the courage, accomplishments, and progress 
of African-Americans who have contributed to the well being of this 
Nation and the world. This year's Black History Teleconference titled, 
``The Struggle Continues: Empowering Afro-American Organizations: 
Present and Future'' features eight high school students from South 
Carolina who interview eight nationally prominent African-Americans. 
Under the guidance of its creator, Dr. Marianna Davis of Keenan High 
School in Columbia, the teleconference has proven to be of tremendous 
benefit to the students, panelists, and viewers.
  It is in the spirit of Dr. Davis' zeal and focus on a brighter future 
for our youth that I acknowledge this year's high school participants: 
Allison S. Feaster of Chester High School; Mary Emma Fulwood of Dillon 
High School; Sean Gallman of Dutch Fork High School in Irmo; Victor 
Gardner of Blue Ridge High School in Greer; Caren C. Kelly of Westside 
High in Anderson; Macella Scott of Kingstree Senior High; Terrance 
Smalls of Holly Hill-Roberts High School; and Scipia Williams of James 
Island High in Charleston. They, and others like them, are our future. 
For it will be through their achievements that others will see hope and 
a brighter tomorrow.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend Mr. Henry Cauthen, president of the South 
Carolina Educational Television Network, SCETV staff, Dr. Davis, the 
students, and panelists of ``The Struggle Continues,'' for their 
dedication to quality education and broadcasting.
