young at heart. A former frequent stop of the infamous Chitlin’ Circuit, Indiana Avenue was once the attraction for blues and jazz greats like Ella Fitzgerald, Dinah Washington, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Wes Montgomery, Trabue says those not old enough to remember the Avenue days should take part to educate themselves. “They should come to learn something about the Avenue. To learn its history and what it once was,” he said. “Most importantly, to educate themselves because it’s their history as well. And as Fredrick Douglass once said, “We have to do with the past only as we can make it useful to the present and the future.”

Purdue's Black Culfural Cenfer fo bring Spike Lee fo campus

Special to the Recorder WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Film director Spike Lee will speak about “Af-rican-American Images in Hollywood” at a free lecture sponsored by Purdue’s Black Cultural Center at 7 p.m. Sept. 15 in Stewart Center’s Loeb Playhouse. “Irrespective of race, Spike Lee is one of the country’s most influential filmmakers,” said BCC director Renee Thomas. “We’re thrilled that he’s chosen to come to Purdue during our examination of AfricanAmerican images on film. I am certain that he will provide a unique perspective that will be of interest to anyone who follows film.” Lee has been making movies since 1980, but became well known in 1986 when “She’s Gotta Have It” won the Prix de Jeunesse award at Cannes. In addition to his feature films, Lee has produced and directed numerous music videos for such diverse artists as Miles Davis, Tracy Chapman, Anita Baker, Public Enemy and Bruce Hornsby. He also has directed commercials and short films for television. Born in Atlanta, Lee was raised in Brooklyn. He graduated from Morehouse

College in Atlanta and received a master’s degree in film production from New York University Tisch School of the Arts. Established at Purdue in 1969, the Black Cultural Center is nationally recognized and acknowledged by the Association of Black Culture Centers as one of the best centers of its kind. Thomas said the center helps Black students gain a greater understanding of their heritage and supports and enhances cultural diversity on campus and in the community. With four performing arts ensembles, the center also gives students a chance to develop their own artistic expression in dance, song, theater or writing. Students can participate in the Black Voices of Inspiration, Haraka Writers, Jahari Dance Troupe andNew Directional Players, each one headed by an artist in residence who has a professional career. Kevin lega Jeff, a choreographer from Chicago whose film choreography credits include Spike Lee’s “She’s Gotta Have It,” directs the Jahari Dance Troupe. Jeff is the founder and artistic director of the Chicagobased Deeply Rooted Dance Theatre.
