Judy Spangler, the Executive
Director of the YWCA of Erie,
followed by saying that women
were talking about the same
things 140 years ago.
“When are we going to get up
and moving,” she said. “We need
to take the power away from the
power brokers and take the power
ourselves.”
When asked about the role of
African-American women in
society, Spangler answered, “i
don’t think that there is a role.
We have a number of roles that
we need to fulfill and that’? based
on an individual need.”
Another question raised before
the panel was the question of
erasing the “hyphenations” from
TERNAIWE
races and continuing as
Americans.
“It’s not obtainable until all
hyphenated Americans can get
along with other hyphenated
Americans. Unless we are
dealing with things on a personal
level we cannot break these ties,”
Spangler said.
Nicole Miller addressed racism
in her generation as possibly
being more violent than in the
sixties, because it seems to be
promoted by the media.
Spangler concluded the session
by saying that African-Americans
spend too much time looking
outward at how they are perceived
by the world rather than looking
inward and stopping the problems

Conchita Dixon, 04
Accounting, said, “I think that
African-American women have
evolved and have evolved
different attitudes depending on
the different eras they were raised
in. It’s a benefit for someone my
age to look up to someone like
Mrs. Curry and develop my own
opinion and attitude based on her
history.”
“It (the program) brought out a
lot of topics that need to be
covered and paid attention to.
Hopefully, it will open a lot of
people’s eyes to society," said
James Owens, 06 Accounting.
“I felt it was very beneficial to
hear three different points of view
Behrend
enlightens
its
students
with
diversity
from three different generations.
It gave a broader outlook to what
is going on and it was very
educational to see that,” Yonna
Jolly, 02 Biology, said.
Tonya Reid, 02 Business,
added, “Even though this is Black
History month, this is a topic
that could be addressed anytime
and to anyone."
“It’s a really good program,"
Dia Harris, 08 Communications,
said. “We got to see the unique
aspects of different generations,
especially of growing up as
African-Americans.”
Sybil Laryea, 02 DUS, said,
“It was interesting and
educational. A lot of the topics
really touched me.”
