And what we're trying to do over at TAAN, The African American Network, is- is kind of parallel that, but from an African American point of view, and- and kind of give our audience an outlook of what the African Americans have contributed to that 300 years. So we're going to be talking about- over the 300 Voices, we're going to be talking about what was, what is, and what may be. But right now, with Nate–I'mma call him Nate ‘cause I know him personally. With Nate, we're gonna- gonna touch on some- on some topics that you may or may not know, so I hope you're paying attention. So let's jump right into it, Nate. So you mentioned the MLK Commission, and you mentioned the YMCA. There's a lot of history, Black history in our community, from a social service aspect. Me personally, growing up at the Boys Club, the East Side Boys and Girls Club, under Chuck Landy. I know back in the day, they would talk about your father and all the sacrifice that he made to build up the Y. And then after your father, obviously you came and Chuck and Mr. Shannon, and there was a lotta, lotta great people that- that helped a lotta kids–and back in those days, majority African American kids–in our community. Give our viewers a brief history, I guess, of- of that community service aspect, that public service aspect, between the Y, between the Boys Club, and just couple of those figures, including your father, including Mr. Shannon, and including yourself and- and Chuck Landy.\n\nNathaniel Davis","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=77.0,180.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Woah, that's a tall order, but I guess I can start by just saying that the- the YMCA started back in 1944 with my father. And him and– they called them the 36 Men Club–and thirty-six men got together, they donated $100 apiece to start the YMCA. And the only reason why they did that because there was nothing for African American kids to do in the neighborhoods. And so he got together with a lot of community people, and they just started the ball rolling. And it kept rolling all the way down through myself and Charles Shannon and Chuck Landy. You mentioned Y babies versus Club kids. Well, we cons- we don't consider- we consider us all as one, [laughs] and we've always done that. Chuck has done a wonderful job down there, when we were there, and then when Shannon was at the- at the YMCA. And then when Shannon passed away, I got a chance to be the Executive Director. But we don't- we don't look at comparisons with those two, both groups do a fantastic job. It's just, one, the Club centers on mostly kids from seventeen and under, and they do a fantastic job with that. They got a lotta good programs that- that our community need to take advantage of. And the Y, we were more scattered out. We took from- we called them “from the womb to the tomb,”  that’s what we used to call it. But, you know, we- we take anybody and everybody and try to just to create jobs and- and also opportunities for people to get their kids enrolled in- in after school childcare and, you know, sports activities. You know, just kind of be the babysitter, if you want to say.\n\nTyrone Darden","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=180.0,272.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/13","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And I- and I think that's important for our viewers to know– and we’ll get on that- the 36 Men Club. But going back to that- that “womb to the tomb.” I never really thought about the YMCA in that aspect of being a multigenerational center, and I know that's really what we're going towards. From a public standpoint, there's not a lot of dollars in the- in the public sector to fund community centers, quote-unquote, so they're looking at ways to- to address the needs of that “womb to the tomb” type of- type of gapping as far as the age goes, and so multigenerational facilities are the new thing that public- the public is spending their dollars on. Just right now, Greater Love [Missionary Baptist Church] and Mount Zion [First Baptist Church] are actually building multigenerational centers right in our community to support what the YMCA and what the East Side Boys and Girls Club have been doing for decades now.

We need to do something for our kids.” And so the first way they said to do it is they’ll contribute $100 apiece, because that way they can do what they come up with, what they plan to do, and not being governed by a- by an organization. But the YMCA presented itself in that position, and so that was an area that they could move into, also still have some leeway to where they can still control their own destiny.

So- but with that said, going back to “each one, teach one,” going back to the intergeneral- generational thing, those things are missing nowadays in our community. One thing I used to- we used to do at the YMCA is just that: put those together, put all of those groups together–some come swim, some come do that– and then they can dialogue, you know, and carry on conversations about future an- and those sorts of things. If we do not go back and- and learn from this, then we are destined to- to fail. And that's what's happening: there are no more programs going on in the community, there are no more program far as baseball, I heard the Apaches football team is having tro- pr- problems this year. So the- the kids are now are- they are into the- in- into these, you know- you know, into technology, and so we have to figure out a way to bridge that gap. In our day, we didn’t have that, so we couldn't come in the house before the sun- the sun- the streetlights come on. You know, but when the streetlights come on–\n\n[Both speakers]","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=636.0,713.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/29","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"You better be–\n\nTyrone Darden","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=713.0,714.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/30","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"–in the house.\n\nNathaniel Davis","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=714.0,714.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/31","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"–headin’ towards the house.\n\n[mutual laughter]\n\nNathaniel Davis","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=714.0,716.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/32","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"You better be real close.

If we hoard it and- and don't share the information, then it dies. You know, and so that's one of the main things is that we just have to get more active and– as- as a people, and just get our people up off couches, get ‘em out of the- you know, and get them exposed into public government, and- and you know, community issues, all of that, all of those things. You know, we're not saying that they’ll have to be activists and all that stuff, but the more knowledge they have, you know, they will probably spark an interest that they might want to go into. And so those kinda things we just wanna kinda keep on the forefront of everybody's mind is that, you know, there are other alternatives to sitting on the couch and sitting in front of a computer, and doing– you know, or put that person with a person that knows all about IT [Information Technology]. If that's what they want to do, put ‘em with that person and let them start and learn the whole- the whole system, and not just what you see on TV, and not– you know, the perceptions are wrong.

A- and hopefully you guys are learning because this has taken place. With all that being said, one thing I want us to do more of is talking to each other and speaking with our older people; but then our older people, our seasoned people, our wise people, speaking to the younger generation and having the patience and- and not really, really getting too irritated that we do want to play the video games and- and we want the microwave-type sensation of having a quick, but- but teaching us how to be patient and- and kind of be methodical in how we work. But I think that was very important for just that piece, that segment. I think you gave a lot there, and- and just talking to each other and sharing with each other and building and growing with each other from the womb to the tomb, I think is very, very impactful, and it's something that's been missing. So- so transitioning a little bit, so you've had your hands in a lot of things, you know, and, you know, I'm- I'll be forty in three or four years, right? So in, I'll say, almost the four decades that I've been alive, you've accomplished a lot. But there are some things that maybe your arms wasn't long enough to reach, or the timing was bad.

The main thing is, what you're doing now is fantastic. You know, you’re making an avenue for people to reach out, and- and you’re broadcasting and you’re interviewing people such as ourself, to make us feel like we're not put out on the– in the past and put on the shelf. You know, utilize our expertise. You know, yes, a lot of us are retired and doing, you know, other things, but that don't mean we- we've- we've really given up the fight. We're still- we're still in there fighting. We're still fighting everyday, every day we possibly can. You know, one thing that I'm trying to fight it with now, through the Martin Luther King Commission–I want to touch on two quick things, it ain’t gon’- not gon’ take long–but our scholarship fund. Now, the scholarship fund is one of our biggest goals. This past year we were able to- to give about twenty-four scholarships. We gave away four four-year scholarships, we gave away four two-year scholarships, and gave away about eighteen, twenty-some odd– those numbers don't add up, but–\n\nTyrone Darden","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=1442.0,1498.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/65","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"[laughs]\n\nNathaniel Davis","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=1498.0,1498.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/66","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"–it’s somewhere in there. You know, well, it was four four-year scholarships, I know it was a- a couple o’ two-year scholarships, and the rest of them were like one-year scholarships. But- but that was a good- that was a good thing for us because when we first started this- the scholarship fund, we were only able to- to do maybe ten people, you know, at $1,000 apiece. You know, so now, our budget is up over over- over a million dollars. And so, you know, we're trying to carry people all the way through. If we can just spark that interest in someone that's interested in higher education, higher learning, that's what we want. We- we there to kind of help offset some of those crucial, crucial prices, and expenses in- in college, in- in higher education. So that's one. The other– the thing that we want to do with the Martin Luther King March is, we want to plea for it–this is our 50th anniversary, like I said–and one of the things that we were trying to do for us to give back is, if you walk– if you go down Martin Luther King Boulevard, you know, you see they've re- redone the streets and drains, we- we had something to do with that. They've kind of beautified it a little bit, fi- fixed up the street and all of those good things. But there are still some homes that need some help, and so we're putting together a group now that's going to identify that. And if we can’t do nothing else but go get a can of paint and some volunteers and help slap some paint on it and just help the quality of life of some of the people [inaudible] up and down that- that march route, that's what we're going to try to do this past– this coming year. So those are gonna two– be two major projects we're gonna be doing.\n\nTyrone Darden","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590#t=1498.0,1595.0"},{"id":"https://saaacam.aviaryplatform.com/collections/2808/collection_resources/131978/file/246590/transcript/68743/annotation/67","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Excellent.
