  I have been considering my presentation for the symposium. I have decided to incorporate

 the people who lead financial support of Newark during the seventies. The federal funding was

constantly being challenged by Mayor Gibson because many residents refused to complete

The Census Questioner Report. Private financial funding was essential during the seventies.

The homeless people and people who were migrating from other countries and some southern

states were requiring food and shelter. Their generosity and determination were awesome.

They should be acknowledged in every book written about Newark. Low income housing

and daycare centers were essential to encourage young, single, and struggling parents to care

for their children.

      Some federal funding provided many homeless people with food and shelter. Other

funding supported children from low income families and parents with disable children.

The families were offered free breakfast and lunch during the school year and the summer

months.The parents were also offered assistance with childcare and aftercare payments.

Recreational facilities and supplies were available along with a sports program and weekly

trips. Most of the adventures and recreational supplies were an attempt to encourage the

children to persevere in life and to encourage them to maintain focus on school assignments.
