called and spoke with Libby. I explained my friends situation fully and suggested that she would be able to make a down payment and then make payments for her son to enter the program. I was shocked by Libby's response. Libby flatly refused to take her son without full payment up front. I think it was $5,000 at that time. There was no way this lady could get that kind of money.


the quote above is so true. If not what explains that the gruop did not have a lot more Blacks in it. Stop. Stop. Stop. Everyone, stop talking about all this B.S. and concentrate on this. If seed was so honest and open why were thee inner core people regardless of what years 70's, 80's, and 90's about money, moeny, MONEY, MONEY, MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wake up and smell the fine expensive coffee!!!!!!! IT all had to be about the finest and best of everything!!!!!!!

Not so...when I entered in '72, my mom paid based on a sliding scale (as a single parent, she was supporting two of us at the time) and Suzy did my intake. I was also aware of many others that came in w/ single parents.  If one could afford it - they paid, as they should have.

Antigen:
And if one could not afford it, they recruited, housed and fed newcomers and out of towners, transported them all over town (it was a good 40 minute drive each way for us), solicited donations, etc.

My family had no money, and Art  took me in
with open arms, if my family had been doing better, I am sure something would have been
asked of them.  The Seed needed all the help it could get and thank God for the people that could afford to help . I knew  several people that had no money and the Seed never turned them away. And thats the truth . I do remember a couple of people of color in the Seed. South
florida at that time was pretty white and segregated, I came remember a very small area in Hollywood where Afro Americans lived
and in Davie it was like only a 4 block area.
But now that it was mentioned, the Seed was pretty white.  But lets face it, it was the location.

Antigen:
Bull! Sorry, it just wasn't like that. Segregated? Yes, to be sure. But Florida has had a significan't black population since pre Civil War daze. They just weren't seen much east of Dixie Highway. North of the Pompano Pier used to be called "nigger beach" till they shut it down to the public entirely around 5 or 8 years ago. For background, just look into the origins and history of Collier City (now an incorporated annex of Pompano Beach) and Stranahan Highschool. Or just as the local NAACP, they do keep records.

There were few blacks in The Seed because a) Art went after monied folk, of whom few were people of color and b) Art went after influential folk, ditto.

I know it may seem entirely unbelievable to you, but Art didn't start The Seed on a shoestring and a song. He had a million dollar grant from NIDA (compliments of Bobby DuPont) and other, lessor Federal, state and local public largess.

Here's some background on that.

Bottom line, every time that scammer cried poor mouth and passed the plate he was breaking the first and most impotent rule.

You know, too many weirdos out there. At least with you people I know WHY you are weird!!!
