Media Experts
Comment On
Vocal Tools
By FRANCINE ANDERSON
Speech and communications experts,
Larry Coleman and Jack Daniel, spoke
yesterday in the South Meeting Room of
Newcomb Hall on the subject of mass
media and black national development.
Mr. Daniel said that black was not just
an adjective being used to mean
communication between black people,
that it conveyed instead a special and
inherent difference in the discipline of
communication when applied to black
people.
Mr. Coleman examined some of the
tools that blacks have used to
communicate information from slavery
times on. Mr. Coleman used black
folklore as an example of such a form of
communication.
According to Mr. Coleman, there were
codes that the slaves used to express
hatred for their masters and for the
situation of slavery.
Mr. Daniel also dealt with the image of
black people found in the newspapers.
"Scanning the newspapers for the day you
will find that blacks have committed
crimes, were the first to be hired for some
position or are somewhere playing," said
Mr. Daniel; "and on some days no
mention of blacks is made at all." He
questioned whether blacks were that
insignificant.
