There is a weak pulse at the Harlem-based
Black United Fund of New York (BUFNY), but the long-standing charitable
organization is perhaps breathing its last. “For all intents
and purposes, BUFNY is dead,” says Kermit Eady, the institution’s
founder and former executive director. “It’s ludicrous
to give any other evaluation.” William Davis, chairman of
BUFNY’s interim board, has another take on the troubled body
. . .

My talk today is on having the right
perspective. Sometimes we need people to help us see better and
people to give us perspective. Around 1968, at the American Psychological
Association convention in San Francisco, a group of Black psychologists—among
them Drs. Robert L. Williams, Joseph White, Joseph Awkard, Anna
Jackson, Wade Nobles, Robert Guthrie, Robert Green and Charles Thomas—gained
a new perspective. They cleaned and refocused the lens of psychology
so that we could see more clearly the working of the minds, and
better understand the behaviors, of Black people.
