ST.
VILLAGE REUNION TO CONTINUE IN SPITE OF DEMOLITION Old friends and families who grew up in the St. Clair Village Community gathered for the 16th annual St. Clair Village reunion July 16-18. The reunion started in 1995 because of the close- knit neighborhood. Lou Shealey, president of the St. Clair Village Committee, will keep the reunion going along with his committee members as long as there is breath in his body. He moved to St. Clair Village in 1954 and moved out in 1967. St. Clair Village was built in October 1953. It was once a thriving neighborhood with families who were very close. It wasn’t until recent years that crime took a toll on the neighborhood and reduced it to a high crime area. With the Pittsburgh Housing Authority demolishing the housing complex, it will be nothing but a memory for the former residents....read the full story and see photos here.

GAMMAGE MEMORIAL SCHOLARSHIP WILL BE AWARDED AT
The Black and White Reunion was established in 1996 in response to the death of black motorist Jonny Gammage while in police custody and the unacceptable not-guilty verdicts at the trials of the perpetrators. One of the organization's most important projects is the Jonny Gammage Memorial Scholarship to support local students studying the law. Applicants write an essay about civil rights and police accountability. This year's winner, Michelle Coker, will begin her legal training at the University of Wisconsin Law School-Madison in the fall. She was an intern and a citizen monitor for the Regional Equity Monitoring Project. In her own words: When I thought about what to write to address legal changes needed to minimize police brutality, I was inspired by Billie Holiday's "Strange Fruit." I rewrote it as "Urban Streets Bear Strange Fruit" with the spirit of our connectional heritage and struggle in America and my desire for justice that every human on the globe deserves. Writing this essay helped me to remember why I first wanted to be a lawyer. Lawyers should use their role to be the voice of integrity and dignity in our society and the power to influence American culture to strive for equality for all from corporate law to public interest. Ms. Coker will receive her award at the NAACP's Scholarship Luncheon on Tuesday, July 27 at the University of Pittsburgh. The Black and White Reunion has presented the scholarship, since its inception, in collaboration with the NAACP Pittsburgh Branch. This year, BWR is pleased to announce a partnership with the Negro Educational Emergency Drive , which has graciously added $1,000; the scholarship now totals $3,000. NEED now handles much of the administration and promotion of the Jonny Gammage Scholarship. Most money for the Jonny Gammage Scholarship is raised through the registration fee for the Summit Against Racism, held annually at East Liberty Presbyterian Church on the Saturday after Martin Luther King Day. Next year's Summit Against Racism will be on Saturday, January 22. Registration and workshop information will be available soon at www.blackandwhitereunion.org and in the next issue of the Thomas Merton Center 's newspaper, The New People.
