Lu Gregg, Jr. Similar Story To Part Of Sullavou Academy Experience

My Dad, Lu Gregg, Jr., (3rd African American Naval
Academy graduate) has a story when he was an Air Force
pilot during the Korean conflict of the then Governor
of Georgia and an aide getting on his plane at a
military base (not uncommon for country officials
to fly this way at the time) and finding out the pilot
was black. They made a stink that they would not be
flown by a black pilot and demanded they get another
white one for them. They all sat together on the
ground for 2-3 hours until it eventually went high
enough in the Pentagon and my Dad was surprised they
told the Governor to get off the plane. The reasoning
was crew integrity. If we punish someone for an
arbitrary reason not related to performance that would
send the wrong signal to the unit I believe is what
was articulated at the time. Reminds me of the below
description, the part describing the it is either he
or us scenario:

http://www.exeter.edu/publications/exeter/fall_01/past.html

Account from Lu Gregg, Jr. 12-27-2004:

"On the Air Force -- at age of 25, as part of the Air Force's
Military Air Command, I was promoted to the rank of "Aircraft
Commander", -- I had my own crew flying weekly to Europe from
McGuire Air Force Base near Trenton.

Each day our base would dispatch a plane and crew to Washington
(Andrews AFB) as the VIP Flight to Paris. After 1-2 days on the
ground in Paris, the crew would then bring a return flight of VIP's
back to Washington. This was a daily scheduled flight our Base
did for government officials.

Because of my flying ability, I was one of the 25-30 pilots at the
Base selected to fly the daily run. I [...] was the youngest to
fly the VIP run. I only did it once a month for about a year before
being sent to MIT.

It was on one VIP return flight from Paris when we stopped to refuel
in the Azores that the aide traveling with the Governor of Georgia
told the Azores duty officer that one of us would not get back on the
plane to complete the leg to Washington. After their calls to the
Pentagon, the Governor was put on the next plane coming through."

Emanuel Sullavou (Sullivan) Harvard's 2nd African American Graduate

Something to consider, URL below, as we end this year. An inspiring story of people of multiple backgrounds with honor that paved the way for changes in this country.

Emanuel Sullavou (Class of 1871) graduated from Phillips Exeter Academy in 1867. He was one year behind Harvard's first black graduate, Richard Theodore Greener (Class of 1870) who graduated from Phillips Andover Academy in 1866.

Sullavou was born in Richmond, Virginia in 1845, but his parents "moved" to New Bedford, Massachusetts (a seat of abolitionism) while he was still a small child. Slavery was in full force in Virginia at the time. Sullavou may be a misspelling or a misreading of a handwritten "Sullivan".

Sullavou's story is as powerful as that of Greener:

Five Priorities from President Summers’ SF Bay Area Presentation on November 10, 2004

[As forwarded from Walter Sleeth who attended the event. Perry]

Five Priorities from President Summers’ SF Bay Area Presentation on November 10, 2004 

The University must give strong support to extending this Country’s as well as the world’s growth and prosperity. Larry looks to a better understanding of capital and markets and to seeing that many more young people receive an excellent technical education. He wants to stress science and quantification along with the College’s traditional strength in a liberal education. He noted that there are announced plans to open an engineering school.

Society must do even more to strengthen equality of opportunity. He noted that over the past 50 years the gap between the richest and the poorest in our society has grown. (His assumption seems to be that with more emphasis on equal opportunity that would not be the case.) The University must help steer society to rectifying this unfairness. The College was first with ‘need-blind’ admissions and has moved forward this year with a program that no parental financial support is requested when family incomes are less than $40,000.00.

Summers noted that great civilizations are remembered for the advances they make in science, art, music, literature and drama. Harvard has a responsibility to take steps to preserve what makes a culture great and to help meet the challenges of supporting such advances.

A great challenge, as is seen in current world relations, is the coming together of nations. Harvard must take significant steps to reduce mutual misunderstandings on the international scene. The steps being taken to require every student to have an international experience and to be able to speak a foreign language on graduation are initial steps. Summers also stressed the need for Harvard to use its “convening strength” to facilitate international understanding with conferences and seminars on important topics.

Finally, there are a set of questions around values and ethics that the University must address. He noted that 90% of the students are involved in public service. He feels that the University must be a place where students’ idealism is awakened and that the University creates space for neutral and honest dialogue. He noted that just as Harvard should be a welcome place for ethnic minorities, it should be just as welcome to students who are interested in military careers or have fundamentalist backgrounds.

Harvard Outreach Scholarship Alameda County

I'm a Harvard interviewer and Co-Chairperson of the
Harvard Outreach Scholarship Committee for Alameda
County. The Outreach program started this year will
provide a free ride to Harvard for all high school
students who get in whose family income is $40K or
less annually. The cost to the family is zero. The
$40-60K income range has incentives to make it
affordable too; the cost to the family is not zero.
Exceptional students you know who may qualify please
forward them my way and have them contact the HU
Admissions Office. The cost of the application
process can be waived. The offer applies to any
student of any background as long as their income
profile fits the program. To tie together interested
parents, teachers, officials, counselors and educators
in the County with the Harvard alumnae and alumni in
charge of this effort I've created a mailing list you
can join at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/harvard-outreach-alameda
. The 11 Harvard interviewers with me on the
Committee are on the list currently. Harvard is not
getting the share of exceptional low income students
that we would like. This program is to send a strong
and permanent message that we will turn this around.
Junior High and High School freshman need to know that
this scholarship is a possibility and that Harvard has
the resources to make the pledge. Subscribe to the
above cited mailing list. Ask any appropriate
questions that you would like of the Committee.
Please refer us to County educators you know who might
be interested in joining the discussion. Early Action
letters are mailed this week. There is still time to
apply for the upcoming normal admissions cycle.

Harvard's Lucien Victor Alexis, Jr. '42 and Drue King '42

The cover story in today's Boston Globe Magazine
(12/12/2004), the week that Early Action letters are
sent out, is about a not-so-glorious time in Harvard's
history when two African American undergraduates,
Lucien Victor Alexis, Jr. '42 and Drue King '42, were
respectively excluded from playing with the Harvard
Lacrosse Team against the U. S. Naval Academy and
singing with the Harvard Glee Club at Duke University.
Few in the governing hierarchy at Harvard were
guiltless in allowing this to happen.

My Dad was the third African American to graduate from
the U.S. Naval Academy (MIT, Aeronautical Engineering
& then years later Harvard B. School's Advance
Management Program) so I am connected to stories from
him about similar indignities he experienced.

Friends of the Children (FOTC) San Francisco Chapter

SF Harvard Alumnae and Alumni,

Recently I had the pleasure to meet one of the FOTC
Board members Louise Renne. She is also head of the
SF Police Commission. Consider supporting her
organization.

Extracted from Nov. 29th, 2004 correspondence with
FOTC Executive Director, Charlotte E. Burchard:

"Friends of the Children is a national organization
founded in 1993 to improve the lives of high-risk
children. The program is based in extensive research
indicating that a long-term, sustained relationship
with a supportive, caring adult is the single most
effective protective factor for high-risk children.
It is the only program in the nation that provides
carefully screened, full-time professional paid
mentors (called Friends) to high-risk youth for twelve
years from first grade through high school. Each
mentor works with no more than eight children of the
same gender.

The San Francisco chapter, which opened in 2001,
serves thirty-two children recruited from the E.R.
Taylor and Malcolm X Academy elementary schools in San
Francisco's Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. FOTC
selects children who are most in danger of school
failure, abuse, neglect, delinquency, gang and drug
involvement, and teenage pregnancy. The outlook for
many of the neighborhood's children is not good. The
most high-risk children come from low-income families
with histories of violence, abuse, neglect, poverty,
homelessness, substance abuse, and criminal activity.
These children are heading for academic failure.

The steady presence of a Friend in the children's
lives helps them develop the emotional security and
positive behaviors that are essential to school
success. Each child spends a minimum of four hours
per week one-on-one with his or her mentor, usually
after school, on the weekend, and during the summer.
Mentors spend time in the classrooms, providing
academic support and keeping children on task and
focused. Friends supervise homework and check with
teachers either daily or weekly, depending on how much
support and supervision each child needs, to see that
homework is completed.

Friends of the Children has specific outcomes for
children related to social and emotional development,
school success, making good choices, improved health
care, and positive plans and skills for the future.

FOTC SF is a nonprofit organization. [....] The
mailing address is P.O. Box 24472, San Francisco,
California 94124."
