Fri ~ Sat: 4pm~3am or [email protected] Later during the discussion, Jallow opened the floor to questions, sugges- tions, and ideas in which Johnson and Brooks gave their due feedback. Johnson said that the future deals upon four ideals which he crafted the name H;E.A.P. Health conditions, educational achievement, economic development, and political involve- ment. Johnson stated that if these four elements didn't get the proper attention in which they deserved, "our qualities of life are destined to be destroyed." " Politics is the art and science of the exercise of power. Power plays a part in every walk of life. It is the ability to control in any relationship, but you must learn to establish an equilibrium," said Johnson. Brooks felt that a big misconception with politics among young adults is that it is seen as an old man's game. He mentioned how Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was at the forefront of the civil rights movement at the age of 26. Some factors outlined by Brooks pertaining to the future of African Americans were the loss of legendary civil rights leaders, where African Americans as a people are searching for new leadership, concern for health- care, affirmative action, education, and political affiliation. "I don't believe that people are completely conservative or completely liberal. We chose different affiliations according to different issues," said Brooks. The Multicultural Student Center will continuecelebrating Black Aware- ness Month from Februarv 1-28.
