      WALTER CRONKITE is a member and this PRIVATE instituion
      has been written up in exemplary fashion in the
      New York Times.

      If you are interested in doing research there,
      you must file an application with them and
      then they either approve or disapprove it.

      They have information in both printed and manuscript (written)
      form for ALL 50 states and Canada!!!  Up to the
      year 1876 (a centennial year) and in some special cases
      up to 1900.  They have alot of information on Hawaii.
      They have books on American Indians.  They have manuscripts
      from authors like James Fennimore Cooper (LAST OF THE MOHICANS).
      They have music and photographs. IN ADDITION:

      that you come prepared with RESEARCH SKILLS and

    This is the Largest BLACK Fundraising organization in the Nation,
    formed in 1944 to assist historically black colleges & universities
    to raise funds from the public.

    LITTLE KNOWN FACTS:
    President George Bush served as a UNCF volunteer in 1948.

    I was originally going to donate the money to a
    BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN COLLEGE FUND at Harvard or University
    of Massachusetts or Boston University or Northeastern University
    but it makes more sense to have it accessible by ALL Black African
    Americans.   I'm sure that if their CUP runeth over they will
    contribute to other BLACK AFRICAN AMERICAN charities.

    If you don't want to contribute there (I can't change you)
    then you might want to contribute to the UNITED WAY which
    contributes to alot of TRUE charities (the United Way was
    at one time known as THE COMMUNITY CHEST, like in the
    game Monopoly).    If not the United Way, then here's a
    good book of TRUE charities that you might be interested in donating to:
