The winter rainy season has passed in the Bay Area of Northern California, and the weather has been beautiful recently. Bay Area residents and visitors have all taken advantage of this gorgeous reprieve and are flocking to the area’s attractions by the score. Among those attractions have been the numerous museums throughout San Francisco. The five million dollar Dresden Exhibit, from East Germany, has been causing long lines and lots of comments of admiration as it is being shown at the Legion of Honor Hall in Lincoln Park to its many ad mirers. On June 1, the most famous exhibit of them all, King Tut, will begin a three month showing at the De\ 7 oung Museum in beautiful Golden Gate Prk. At $4.50 for adults and $2.50 for children under six, the King Tut tickets are the hottest tickets in town. Over a million people are expected to file through the museum to view the priceless treasures, the largest crowd in the exhibits nationwide tour. Those tourist who are fortunate enought to get tickets will be faced with the frustration of long, long lines for countless hours. However, closer to the heart of the city, not far from the San Francisco Museum of Art and one block from Marcus Books, a bookstore which specializes in books by and about black people everywhere" sits an unobstrusive building at 680 McAllister. This is the home of the Afro American Historical and Cultural Societv, which

maintains a museum that holds an array of the treasures of American blacks year round. The museum has been an ongoing project of the society which was founded over 20 years ago by Mrs. Frances Roston Miller, a charming woman, who is quite know- . ledgeable in the area of Black History. Originally the Society began as an affliate of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, an organziation founded by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the initiator of Black History Week. The society’s first meetings were held in Mrs. Allen’s home. After having established the museum at its present site, the society became known by its present name during the tumultuous sixities. Over the years it has served the community well as it has strived to achieve its threefold purpose: 1) ‘‘to correct distortions about African American life and history 2) to present an accurate account of the contribution of African people to world culture and history and 3) to instill pride in African American youth for their heritage." In addition to offering its visitors a look at unique African and Afro American artifacts and an art gallery which displays, the works of black artist known and unknown, it also conducts classes and seminars offering a wide variety of topics for discussion. It offers its members research assisits members resears assistance with Black History projects (receiving over 1000 requests for such help annually) and provides speakers for clubs and civic groups throughout San Francisco as well as tours of the museum on a group basis. Membership is open to any one in the country who is interested in the preservation of Black history and culture. Annual dues range from $2.50 for youth (21 and under) and $10.00 for a regular member ship. Located two blocks from Van Ness street, a main through fare in the city, theAfro American Historical and Cultural Society Museum is within easy distance for tourists unfamiliar with the city. Open five days a week. Tuesday through Satur day, 12 noon to 5 p.m., there is no admission charge. For an inexpensive, yet interesting and educational experience I’d recommend a visit to “the only black museum West of Chicago". It can onh be found in California.

City pastor makes PUSH’S I nat’l board

I Rev. H.M. Williamson, Phillips Temple CME Church pastor and local PUSH chapter president, has been notified of his election to the organiza lion’s national board of di

rectors.

He was informed by Rev. Jesse Jackson of Chicago, national PUSH president, and Bishop H.H. Brookins, board chairman. Rev. Jackson was in Indianapolis last year promoting "PUSH for Excellence,” a pro gram designed to stimulate accelerated academic growth among students. Under Rev. Williamson, the local chapter has been able to get 20 schools interested in the more intense study idea, and according to him, he has "noticed significant academic achievement on the part of their student bodies. Fresh from Cleveland working on plans for PUSH’S 1979 convention, the minister has been invited by Rev. Jackson to help formulate national “Excellence" programs.

The autograph of Julius Caesar is reputedly worth $2 million.

Both men and women are invited to an open house for prospective volunteer docents at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. The education division at the Museum will host those who wish to learn more about this fascinating opportunity for community service and selflearning as well as other volunteer opportunities in the Fesler Members Room from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.. Wed., May 9. Docents, or volunteer educa tional guides, are dedicated men and women who assist the educational program by giving tours of the Museum’s collections to students and adults and by participating of the arts. While attendance at the docent open house is encourag ed. docent applications will be accepted all during the month of May. Because space in the training program and the num ber of new docents needed is limited, the Museum will make a selection from among those who apply.

Successful applicants will be notified in late June and early July for the training program to begin in October. Docents must have an inter est in art and in the Museum. A formal art background is not necessary since all new docents are given an extensive training course. However, a desire to work and to communicate with people of all ages and a time commitment are required. The Junior League if Indianapolis developed the docent prgram in 1945 to give tours mainly for grade school chil dren at the former John Herron Art Institute. Later when the Muesum had moved to its new location and had become the Indianapolis Museum of Art, all tours were organized under the education division, which con tinues to offer this additional free service to school children in the community and many ad'et visitors to the Museum. Fof- further information, con tact Flori Levitan, coordinator of docents at the Museum, 923-1331, ext. 23,-or attend the meeting.
