The Atlanta Braves and their opponent,the Kansas City Royals, celebratedJackie Robinson Day at Turner Field this week.

Though Major League Baseball began its celebration of Robinson onApril 15, the Braves did not have a game on Monday.

Braves and Royals players, and theteams' on-field staff, wore Robinson'sNo. 42 to honor Robinson's life and contributions to the game on Tuesday.

Obama’s 2012 Tax ReturnsShow Lower Income this YearBy CharlOtte rOyADW Managing Editor

He has a nice house and some fancyrides, but President Barack Obama’s salaryis embarrassingly low compared to otherCEOs. And, it’s going down.

In fact, the Obama’s tax returns showthey made less money in 2012 than in any other year since he took office. ThePresident and First Lady Michelle, who file jointly, had an adjusted gross income of $608,611, down from $789,674 in 2011.They also paid $112,214 in total taxes,compared to $162,074 in 2011, as the family’s tax returns, which were publiclyreleased, indicate.

The Obamas total income came to$662,076, which plummeted nearly 22 percent from $844,585 during the previous year.

The presidential yearly salary comes in at $400,000, and for the previous twoyears, Obamas earnings were $394,800,

the difference of $5,200 is attributed to thepre-tax amount of their health insurancepremium. Consider that the President ofGeneral Motors made $7.7 million last year and the President of Bank of Americamade $950,000 plus $9.05 million in stockawards.

The monies the Obama’s made from various outside business ventures also took a dip. In 2011, the Obamas had business income that came to $441,369, and last year, their earnings dwindled down to $258,772.

As far as deductions, the Obamasclaimed a $50,000 retirement plan contribution, two dependents (daughtersSasha and Malia), some mortgage interest,real estate, and state income taxes.

The presidential couple donated$150,034, or about 24.6 percent of their adjusted gross income, to 33 various

charities. The largest gift to charity was $103,871 to theFisher House Foundation, which aids military families.The Obamas paid $29,450

to the state of Illinois.If you’d like to see more of

the Obamas tax return, you candownload it at www.Whitehouse.gov, the White House website, where Vice President Joe Biden and his wife Jill have also postedtheir returns.

Bet Poll reveals Immense Sense of Pride in President ObamaBy BlackNews.com

Robert L. Johnson, founder and chairman of The RLJCompanies and founder of Black Entertainment Television(BET), recently announced the results of a national poll commissioned by Zogby Analytics that reveals currentAfrican-American sentiment on a range of issues that include the state of national affairs, race relations, employment, and a variety of current political and social issues. Johnson announced the results of the Zogby pollduring his remarks recently at a National Press ClubLuncheon.

"I commissioned this poll for a number of reasons," said Johnson. "First, for African Americans,

this country has experienced the most historic political event andthat is the election and re-election of the firstAfrican-American president, Barack Obama.”“Because of this,” hecontinued, “I wanted to

find out how AfricanAmericans today feel about Obama'spresidency andequally important, ifthey feel that theirlives are better offhaving lived under

the first four years of Obama and the prospect of an Obama Administration for the next four years."

"Second, the country has experienced the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression and African Americans have been the hardest hit. Today,African Americans continue to have double the rate of unemployment and less access to capital, and whereas,African Americans were once the largest ethnic minoritygroup and the dominant minority political voice, they arenow confronted with the growing political influence of the Hispanic population, which may directly impact competitionfor jobs and minority business opportunities," he said.

"Further, I wanted to create a discussion within theBlack community and the broader community to bring tothe forefront of public debate key issues of primary concernto African Americans. I am pleased to say that I am intrigued by the results of the poll and I believe better informed," he noted.

The poll reveals that African Americans have an immense sense of pride in Barack Obama as President ofthe United States and he is unequivocally liked. He receivesa 91percent favorable rating. Seventy-two percent believethat President Obama's election has helped them, while only 4 percent believe his election has hurt them.

African Americans believe that President Obama's election has helped them. A majority of those polled -- 62 percent -- are optimistic about employment in the next four years.

On the issue of employment, the poll reveals that

30 percent of respondents believe they are doing better financially compared to four years ago; however, the mostrecent jobs report shows an ongoing high rate of unemploy-ment within the African-American community. Whenpolled on why African Americans believe Black unemployment is consistently double that of Whites, responses include: failure of the education system for minorities, lack of corporate commitment to hiring minorities,and a failure of government policies for hiring practices.

The poll was conducted by John Zogby and Zogby Analytics. One thousand and two randomly selectedAfrican-American adults were polled by telephone and online survey. The complete survey results and remarksfrom the National Press Club Luncheon can be found onlineat www.rljcompanies.com/news.

The film, which cost $38 million to produce, out-swung even the most ambitious expectations in the low-$20 millions, easily winning the weekend that included “Scary Movie 5,” which landed in the second position at $15.2 million, Variety reported.

Multiple scenes for the movie were shot throughout Georgia.Exit polling showed the audience composition was

males at 48 percent, females at 52 percent; under age25 was 17 percent, age 25 and up was 83 percent, and the main reason for attending the movie was considered the “subject matter” at 84 percent. AWarner Bros. executive told Deadline: “While we do not poll race breakdown, I can tell you we performed extremely well in all the large urban markets. But the highest grossing theaters were the country’s most commercial screens.”

Thomas Tull, the movie’s producer, told Deadlinethat he relied on Robinson’s widow Rachel Robinsonto help with the movie. “Her voice helped us with authenticity. That was the person who lived it,” Tullsaid. “And that was a really important story for us to tell.”

Wells Fargo Survey: African-American Investors Optimistic about Future By ADW Staff

African-American investors report high levels of confidence in their financial future, along with optimismabout the political and economic future of the country, according to a recent Wells Fargo nationwide survey. Despite proactive planning and intentional cuts in spending,African-American investors remain focused on day-to-dayliving expenses, with a large majority concerned about having enough money to retire.

Three in five (60%) African-American investors expressconfidence in their own financial future, slightly higherthan the national response (52%), while half (52%) reportthey are better off now than they were three years ago, same as the general population.

"The optimism and confidence articulated by African-American investors is encouraging, particularly asthose surveyed are feeling financially better off than theywere three years ago," said Jeff Cosby, financial advisorand vice president, investment officer in the Bloomington,Minn., office of Wells Fargo Advisors, Wells Fargo. "Where we see the biggest opportunity is helping people

really consider how they are approaching saving and planning for retirement. It is important for financial advisors to help investors think through long-term strategies for investment planning, while also providingguidance on common concerns like how to balance paying off debt while continuing to save for retirement."

While African-American investors have made progressin retirement planning and preparation, most are concerned

about having enough money to retire.African-American investors are takingnecessary steps toward preparing for retirement, as 45% of those surveyed have cut back on their spending to putaway money for retirement (compared to36% of the national population), and two infive (40%) non-retired African-American investors have a retirement savings plan in place (similar to the national population, 42%).

Among non-retired African-Americans, having a plan is most prevalent among those earning over $100,000 annually (68% earning more than $100,000 have a plan vs.35% of those earning less than $100,000.).

Compared to the U.S. overall, African-American investors are less likely to consider themselves financiallycomfortable (38% vs. 51% overall). More than a third(36%) of non-retired African-American investors surveyedreport that their biggest financial concern is paying theirmonthly bills; saving for retirement ranks second at 22%,followed by healthcare costs at 15%.

Three in five African-American investors are more focused on debt reduction (59%) than saving for retirement.And just over half (52%) of those surveyed are concernedthey won't have enough saved for retirement (similar to alladults). African-American investors less than 50 years oldare particularly concerned (64%, vs. 39% of those ages 50and over).

Just over a third (36%) of African-American investorsare confident in knowing where to invest in today's market(similar to the national population, 31%).

"All investors -- regardless of age or level of savings --should be focused on planning for retirement, and turningplans into actual saving and investing," said Cosby. "ManyAfrican-American investors, much like the general population of overall investors, find investing in today's economy daunting. It's important to seek advice from a trustedprofessional to help navigate the ups and downs of the market,with an eye on long-term financial goals. It can be scary, butwith all the resources and tools available, it can be done."

Living in multi-generational households also has a significant impact on African-American investors' savings, as a number of respondents are caring for their own children,as well as aging parents or grandparents. One in five (20%)African-American investors surveyed report living in three-generational households. Three in four (77%) African-American adults surveyed who live in three generational households are concerned they will not saveenough to support themselves in retirement, compared to just46% of those outside of multi-generational households.

Decades ago when the Downtown Connector was built,the area known as Auburn Avenue was literally split in half.

Over the years, the highway’s underpass has becomehome for people who have nowhere else to go and an areathat does not attract visitors and businesses. Now, a groupof metro area students are working together to develop aplan to solve a problem that has not been addressed by adultplanners and engineers. Their results will soon be revealedand presented to government officials for consideration ofthe New Auburn Avenue.

In less than three months, students from Benjamin E.Mays High School in Atlanta and students from Hiram, Ga.,have developed their own versions of what needs to happen

to this valuable real estate. “It will be fascinating to

see if the students havecome up with ideas thathaven’t been tapped by the‘powers that be’ for years,”said Atlanta architect OscarHarris, who has been

involved in mentoring theyoung people.

City plannerswill get their firstlook at what the

students envision whenthey graduate from theAtlanta Center for Creative Inquiry on Saturday, April 27, at theGeorgia Pacific Tower.

A panel of distinguished architects, engineers and construction managers, will alsoscrupulously review and judge the students’ work. Scholarships and internshipswill be awarded to the top designs, but all the students willbenefit from this unusual endeavor.

The students walked along Auburn Avenue during theproject and learned the importance the Fourth Ward played in the months leading up to Aug. 28, 1963. This year marksthe 50th anniversary of the March on Washington and Dr.Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have A Dream” speech. Thestudents talked with historians and people who live andwork in the area. Some of the students called their experiences “life changing.”

“It has been wonderful to see these students progressand the ripple effect they have on other students…like adrop of water in a pond,” said Hebrew Dixon, this year’schairman of the board.

The Atlanta Center for Creative Inquiry (ACCI) beganmentoring students attending Atlanta Public high schools in 2004 as part of the Studio for Creative Inquiry programdeveloped by Carnegie Mellon University. The mission ofACCI is to mentor, educate and develop creative abilities in youth to promote future diversity in architecture, engineering and construction. There is no other programlike ACCI in the country.

The program is funded totally through private donationsand grants. Last year, internationally renowned “stipple”artist Kyle Lane donated one of his rare works to ACCI,which was later acquired by Georgia Pacific in an exclusiveauction. All donations are tax deductible.

‘Sister act’ to Bring ‘Divine’ Musical Comedy to Fox theatre

By MarIa ODUM-hInMOnADW Staff

April 18 - 24, 2013ENTERTAINMENTwww.ADWnews.com

The musical theater version of the 1990s cult film“Sister Act” will bring singing nuns and gangsters to theFox Theatre stage April 23-28.

The musical features original music by eight-time Oscarwinner Alan Menken, who also wrote music for “Beautyand the Beast,” “The Little Mermaid,” and “Little Shop ofHorrors.”

Based on the movie that starred Academy Award-winnerWhoopi Goldberg, the stage production of “Sister Act” follows Deloris Van Cartier, a lounge singer who witnessesa crime committed by her gangster boyfriend. Her life is

turned topsy-turvywhen the cops insist that Deloristhe diva must gointo a witness protection program at a convent, whereshe will pose asjust another nun.

This forces her to give up a life of glitz and glamour forone of piousness and prayer. As a suspicious and often disapproving Mother Superior looks on, Deloris helps herfellow nuns find their voices and a sense of rhythm, whileat the same time, she finds her sense of self.

The theater version of the show is a little different fromthe movie. While the movie was set in the 1990s in Reno, Nevada, the stage production is set in Philadelphia in the1970s, giving it more sparkle and a disco feel.

The lead role of Deloris is played by Ta’rea Campbell,whose previous Broadway credits include “Leap of Faith,”“The Book of Mormon,” “The Lion King” (Nala), “Aida”and “Little Shop of Horrors.” She also has performed regionally in “Caroline or Change” and internationally asthe lead singer at the 2010 Calgary Stampede in Canada. A native of Philadelphia and graduate of Marymount Manhattan College, Campbell was awarded the Gold Medalfor Excellence in Acting after receiving her degree in theater.

The role of Curtis Jackson, Deloris’ bad-boy boyfriend,is played by Kingsley Leggs, who has appeared on Broadway in “Miss Saigon” and “The Color Purple”as theoriginal Mister. He has been in the touring shows of “MissSaigon,” “Ragtime,” “It Ain't Nothing but the Blues” and“Forbidden Hollywood.”

One of Curtis Jackson’s “goons,” who is helping himfind Deloris, is his nephew TJ, played by Charles Barksdale, who has performed in musicals including“Dreamgirls,” “Footloose,” “ Cinderella,” “Damn Yankees,” “Smokey Joe’s Café,” “Ain’t Misbehavin’,”

“Big River,” “Zombie Prom” and “Bye, Bye Birdie,” among others.

Barksdale said the highlight of the musical is when Deloris stands alone on stage and belts out a song of self-revelation called “Sister Act,” demonstrating the“power-house” talent of Ta’rea Campbell. “The song addresses the things she learned in the convent and showsher figuring out the next step,” Barksdale said. “She’s amazing.”

While the Curtis Jackson character is a villain, he offersa bundle of laughs for the audience, Barksdale said. “He’slike a giant kid. He’s really silly,” Barksdale said. “He’s allabout comic timing and comic relief.”

Unlike some of the darker and more brooding Broadwayshows, like “Les Miserable” and “Phantom of the Opera,”Barksdale said “Sister Act” will have the audience laughingout loud and will have them walking away with a sense of joy.“The audience leaves this show feeling happy and feeling

good,” said Barksdale. “They’ll still be dancing and stillsinging. It’s a good feeling.”

Willis and Dr. JamesAbbington, will provide music for the day.Known throughout Atlanta and beyond,

Friendship Baptist Church is often referred to asthe “mother church” among Baptists in Atlantabecause of its role in harmoniously forming several other congregations throughout the city.These churches include: Mount Zion SecondBaptist, Providence Missionary Baptist, WheatStreet Baptist, Paradise Baptist, Zion Hill Bap-tist, Antioch Baptist, Little Friendship Baptist,and Union Baptist Church. This church and its foresighted membership

has always been a part of Atlanta’s religious, educational, and political leadership. In 1862, the congregation, being unable to buy property,worshipped in a boxcar, which was also the firstclassroom of Atlanta University. As the congregation grew and moved to a larger loca-tion, it was the site chosen for Morehouse Col-lege when it relocated from Augusta in 1879and began classes in the basement of Friend-ship. Spelman College was also born in thebasement of Friendship in 1881.The former pastors of Friendship include the

Rev. Frank Quarles (1862-1881); the Rev. Dr. Edward Randolph Carter (1882 – 1944); theRev. Dr. Maynard Holbrook Jackson (1945 –1953); the Rev. Dr. Samuel Woodrow Williams(1954 – 1970); the Rev. Dr. William Vincent

Guy (1971 - 2007); and the Rev. Dr. TimothyBoddie (2008 – 2012). Friendship's affiliationsinclude the American Baptist Churches USA;the Progressive National Baptist Convention;the World Baptist Alliance; and their respectiveregional and local units. Ecumenically, Friendship Baptist Church is affiliated with theChristian Council of Metropolitan Atlanta, theNational Council of Churches, and the WorldCouncil of Churches.Friendship’s pastors have spearheaded an

extensive housing ministry, including the E. R.Carter Old Folks Home (now demolished), theSamuel W. Williams/Friendship Center Apartments and the William V. Guy Tower High-rise for the Elderly and Handicapped.

Throughout its history, Friendship has contributed outstanding leaders includingMayor Maynard Jackson, son of a former pastor, who was a member of Friendship Baptist Church, and Dr. Samuel Williams, a former pastor, who was president of the AtlantaNAACP and who took the lead in integratingAtlanta’s transportation system.

Bishop Jakes: 'I am So Sick of this hollywood Spirit'By Oretha WInStOnNewsOne

Bishop TD Jakes is calling out the star struckfaith that has taken over national churches."I am so sick of this Hollywood spirit that has

overtaken the church!"Last Sunday while promoting an upcoming

worship service featuring largely unknown guestministers, The Potter's House leader expressed displeasure over the amount of focusplaced on preachers' popularity."We do not have to have big names to have a

big move of God," he said. "I got filled up withthe Holy Ghost by somebody that didn't have noname at all."But nowadays, "no name" preachers – those

who are not exposed to the masses through national media and large preaching platforms –have trouble attracting crowds and filling up thechurch pews, he noted. “Furthermore, the rise of

the mega church has crippled some leaders whoare considered "small time" or ineffective if theirmembership has not reached thousands.”Research shows, in 1960, there was one mega

church for every 7.5 million Americans. In 2010,there was one for every 200,000 Americans, andgrowth is continuing.“In the minds of too many, bigger is better

and more popular means more powerful,” Jakessaid.

the Masters’ effect in atlanta: a Strong Black Golfing Community

April 18 - 24, 2013SPORTSwww.ADWnews.com

By erICKa BentOn MartInADW Staff

After injuring himself playing football, Roderick Turnerfound a new sport that piqued his curiosity. That sport was golfand he has been playing since 1994. Turner’s friends suggestedhe try golf and his interest was sparked by the fact that thegame isn’t saturated with African-American players.

“From my own personal experience in the Black golfingcommunity, there seems to be a lot of interest in the sport,”said Turner. “But there just isn’t a lot of knowledge of the richhistory and the role that African Americans played in that history.”

With pioneers like Teddy Rhodes, Thea Gibson and BillSpiller, it was expected that Tiger Woods would lead in a newgeneration of Black golfers who would dominate the sport.Sixteen years into Woods’ illustrious career he’s number one in the world, but the predicted avalanche of African Americans

following in his footsteps has yet to be seen.Though, it may be on the way.

Thanks to the anticipation and hype behind Woods and the annual Georgia golf classic, The Masters, in Augusta, Blackgolfers and Black-owned golf courses have become a more usual sight than ever in thepeach state.

Rome Matthews picked up golf as a hobbyin 2009 after being offered a job at a localcourse. Although golf wasn’t an initial favorite,the game grew on him and he says it has taughthim valuable morals.

“Golf is a really humbling game,” said Matthews. “It’s notlike basketball or football where you have people yelling and

going crazy. It’s very gentleand teaches integrity. Weneed more sports like it, especially for the youth.”

Recently, there has beenalso been a push to get youngpeople more involved withthe game.

The Ryan Cameron Foundation held its 8th Annual Youth Golf Clinic at Charlie Yates Golf Clinicon Saturday during The Masters. The clinic focusedon teaching young people thecore aspects of the game ofgolf while emphasizing theskills of strategy, disciplineand teamwork.

“A one point it became really popular for celebritiesto host golfing events foradults so I decided to changeit up and do something forthe youth,” said RyanCameron, the V-103 morningshow host and host of the

tournament. “Golf is the only sport that you can play well intoyour 90s. It’s not about physical strength but strategy. Iwanted to teach the kids these skills early on. I regret not getting into golf sooner than I did.”

This year’s participants included members from the RyanCameron Leadership Academy, Ivy Prep Academy, First Tee of East Lake and Black Star Educational Institute.

“A lot of the students who participate with the foundationwere saying that they wanted to do something nontraditional,”said Tracye Bryant, CEO of the Ryan Cameron Foundation.“So we decided to get them away from football and basketballand teach them golf.”

Participants received a free full set of personal golf clubsand professional instruction from PGA professional golf players.

Wesley Wallace, a senior at Mount Zion High School, hasbeen a member of the Cameron Leadership Academy for fouryears. He was introduced to golf as a freshman in high schooland hopes to play professionally.

“I didn’t think I would ever play golf and actually enjoy it,”said Wallace. “These clinics introduced me to the sport andnow I am the captain of my school’s golf team. It has helpedme build patience and I am considering golf as a career.”

Although golf still has not become the most popular sportamong African Americans, many Black golfers stress the valuable lessons and skills to be learned through the game.

“No one wants their child out in public misrepresentingtheir family,” said Matthews. “Golf teaches how to dress andspeak well. It teaches proper manners. There’s a whole etiquette to it. It’s a gentleman’s sport.”

tyson tells his Story at the Fox theaterMike Tyson, who is bringing his Spike Lee-

directed, one-man stage show "Mike Tyson:Undisputed Truth," to the Fox Theatre on April20, says Lee is a stern taskmaster.

"Spike is very demanding. He's going to tryto get the best he can get out of you. I don't thinkmany people can work with him. It’s difficult,”Tyson said in a recent telephone interview fromhis Las Vegas home.After a successful run on Broadway, the one-

man show produced by James L. Nederlanderembarked on a 36-city tour over three monthsand wraps up in New York in May.

Shows at the MGM Grand Hotel in LasVegas and in Los Angeles and Detroit broughtout a celebrities like Mike Epps, Tommy Hearns,Charlize Theron, David Arquette and LatoyaJackson.

Tyson's former boxing rival Evander Holy-field is scheduled to attend the show at the Fox.

The one-night only show lasts one hour and45 minutes and is Tyson on stage sharing his lifewith a back drop displaying video and photos.The boxer ,who retired in 2006, says the audi-ence here should expect passion and emotion.

"They'll laugh and cry. I give them all of me." After a history of violence, cocaine use,

diagnosis of bipolar disorder, conviction andtime served for rape, eight children, three wivesand bankruptcy, having dissipated the more than$300 million made over his career, Mike Tysonis looking for peace.

Tyson, who will be 47 on June 30 and wasranked No. 1 on ESPN.com's list of the hardesthitters in heavyweight history, said his crazy, destructive and wild ways of the past are longgone.

Tickets for the show range from $57.15 to $142.50 and can be purchased on line at FoxtAtlTix.com

William Alexander Scott III, beloved husband, father and grandfather of the Scott family, shared his rich and vibrant life withthe family to whom he was devoted, and the community for whichhe cared so deeply. A brilliant man of many talents, he continuallysurprised even those who knew him with the depth of his experience and wisdom, and the breadth of his intellectual interests.Businessman, chess master, loving father and grandfather, filmcritic, radio show host, artist, poet and public servant, W.A. Scottbrought his intelligence, humor and integrity to all of his pursuits. Last year (1991), "W.A.," as he was known to family and friends,

was honored for his "valiant service" with the Allied Forces in liberating the Nazi concentration camps during World War II, andwas appointed by President George Bush to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council. It was an honor in which he took particular pride, along with his membership in the now legendaryTuskegee Airmen Inc. In 1991, he was also included among the"Hidden Treasures: African American Photographers in Atlanta,1870 - 1970” at the APEX Museum. W.A. Scott's life began inJohnson City, Tenn., where he was born on Jan.15, 1923. That year,his family moved to Atlanta, where his father, W.A. Scott II,founded the Atlanta Daily World newspaper in 1928. He attendedthe Atlanta University Elementary and Laboratory High schools.From childhood he worked at the Atlanta World in various capacities, from paper-boy and clean-up person, to sports statistician, movie and play critic, and photographer. "W.A." wasstudying business administration and mathematics at MorehouseCollege, and waiting to marry his childhood sweetheart, MarianWillis, when he was called up for the U.S. Armed Forces duringWorld War II. He served from 1943 to 1946. He and Marian married on Aug. 28, 1944, just before he was shipped overseas.Scott served as a photographer with the 318th Airbase Squadronand the 183rd Engineer Combat Battalion. While with the 183rd inGermany, Scott was one of the first Allied soldiers to enter Buchenwald.

After the war, he returned to Atlanta and completed his education at Morehouse. He began his married life with Marian,and in 1948 became circulation manager at the Atlanta Daily World.During the years, Scott covered many events of historical significance occurring in this area, sometimes as the lone AfricanAmerican walking into a Southern hamlet to investigate a lynching.In 1984, he became publications and advertising manager, a post heheld until his death. In 1986, Scott was appointed by Mayor Andrew Young to serve on the "Committee of 150" to plan the city's150th anniversary, and by Gov. Joe Frank Harris as a charter member of the Georgia Commission on the Holocaust. He served on a number of boards: the NAACP, the Educational

Foundation of Metro Atlanta (Better Business Bureau); the AtlantaCouncil of International Visitors; the Educational Information andReferral Service Inc. (American Association of UniversityWomen); Grady Memorial Hospital Board of Visitors; theZACHOR Committee of the Atlanta Jewish Federation and as historian for the Tuskegee Airmen Inc.

remember thinking: "There is no place ashorrible as we have been told -- no atrocities -- we should turn around, stopwasting time, go back to Eisenach and establish our Battalion Headquarters."But we continued and finally arrived at aplace that did not look so bad as wepassed the main entrance. But as werolled around the front building, we sawthe feeble mass of survivors millingaround.

We got out of our vehicles, and somebegan to beck to us to follow and seewhat had been done in that place. Theywere walking skeletons. The sights werebeyond description. What little we hadbeen told in an orientation session inNorthern France in early December 1944,was nothing in comparison.And I had thought no place could be

this bad.I took out my camera and began to

take some photos, but that only lasted fora few pictures. As the scenes became

more gruesome, I put my camera in itscase and walked in a daze with the survivors as we viewed all forms of dismemberment of the human body. Welearned that 31,000 of the 51,000 personsthere had been killed in a two-week period prior to our arrival. An SS trooperhad remained until the day of our arrival;survivors had captured him. As he tried toflee over a fence, he was taken into abuilding, and two men from my unit followed. They said he was trampled todeath by the survivors.I began to realize why few, if any,

people would believe the atrocities I hadseen. HOLOCAUST was the word usedto describe it, but one has to witness it toeven begin to believe it. And finally, aftergoing through several buildings with various displays -- lampshades of humanskin, incinerators choked with humanbones, dissected heads and bodies, testesin labeled bottles, so that they could beseen by the victims on a shelf by the dooras they went in and out of the barracks(after two weeks of this procedure, theywould be killed, but we arrived beforethis ritual could be continued) -- my mindclosed the door on this horror.We eventually left after helping to

remove some of the survivors for medicalassistance. As we rode back to Eisenachin silence, I remembered that about 1,000persons in an isolated area were in bettershape than the others. Who were they?Russians, we were told. But, I asked myself, how could a country, classifiedduring my high school days of the late1930s as probably the world's most literate, allow this type of mass murderand psychotic behavior to take place?There were no answers, as many thoughts

raced throughmy mind.Even though my ancestors had arrived

in our country (the United States ofAmerica) as slaves in chains from Africa,and subjected to torture and death duringthe long centuries of slavery, it all seemedto pale in comparison to the glaring impact of what I had witnessed atBuchenwald. I later learned about otherdeath facilities, including the monstrousAuschwitz. My slaveancestors, despitethe horrors they were subjected to, hadvalue and were listed among the assets of a slaveholder.Had the Nazi position prevailed in the

aftermath of the U.S. Civil War (my slavegreat-grandfather and namesake, WilliamAlexander Scott, fought with the UnionArmy in Mississippi), I, or others in similar situations, would not exist in theworld today. The Earth would have literally become the "Forbidden Planet,"where no humans would exist. OnlyRobby the Robot and Hal the Computerwould patrol the Plains. My life, as I have contemplated the

impact of past events on it, has evolvedinto a character that exhibits an attitude tofellow humans that they have nothing tofear from me or my family. I am onlyone. But my wife, our children ( a sonand a daughter, their children, 2 boys anda girl, and 2 boys, respectively) have thecharacter and function that no one shouldfear them. They have no designs on others or their families.
