BLACKS HERE PLAN A ‘LIBERATION WEEK’
Jan. 24, 1970
A group of black leaders an nounced plans yesterday for the marking of Black Liberation Week next month to make the community aware of the “grave peril facing us and to organize, new common strategies for our Protection.”
The plans for the observance were disclosed at a news con ference at the Harlem Y.M.C.A., 180 West 135th Street, by black leaders from many differ ing political and ideological backgrounds,including the New York Urban League, the United States Communist party, the New York Urban Coalition and the United Black Womens Political League.
Black Liberation Week will be held on the same dates as Negro History Week, Feb. 16 to 22, according to Carlos Russell, associate professor of urban af fairs at the State University of New York.
Mr. Russell cited the killings of Malcolm X, Fred Hampton, the Black Panther leader, Med ger Evers and the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., as evi dence that what he called “genocide” was being commit ted against black people.
The National Urban Leagueis a civil rights organization founded in 1911 to combat racial discrimination against African Americans. It is the oldest and largest community-based anti-discrimination organization in America. The organization has 90 affiliates in 36 states and the District of Columbia.
Although it is technically nonpartisan, in that it does not endorse political candidates, the League often agrees with left-of-center and Democratic policies, including the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) and affirmative action. 1. Its current president, Marc H. Morial, is a Democratic politician who most notably served as the 59th mayor of New Orleans. 2

Mrs. Sadie Chavis Braggwas born in Petersburg, Virginia to Lonnie Chavis, Sr. and Mag Dora Battle Chavis on March 5, 1944. As a child, Sadie attended Metropolitan Baptist Church and Peabody High School, where she was the Valedictorian. It was at Peabody High School where Sadie met the love of her life, her late husband, Alvin Leonard Bragg, Sr.
After high school, Sadie enrolled in and graduated from Virginia State College (University), where she majored in mathematics and became a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. After college, Sadie and Alvin were married. That same year, 1967, Sadie earned a Certificate in Mathematics from Oberlin College.
Sadie dedicated her professional life to teaching students mathematics and expanding educational opportunities, especially for students of color and women. Early in her career, she taught mathematics to junior high school students; taught students at an alternative high school as part of the New York Urban League Street Academy; and coordinated a college-bound program for junior high school students. From 1970 to 1982, Sadie taught college-bound adult students as a mathematics lecturer at the Manhattan Educational Opportunity Center.
In 1982, after earning a Doctorate in Education in College Teaching of Mathematics from Teachers College, Columbia University, Sadie joined the Borough of Manhattan Community College’s (BMCC) mathematics department as a professor. Over the years at BMCC, Sadie served in several positions, including Associate Dean of Academic Affairs for Curriculum Provost, and Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs. She retired in 2014.
Throughout her career, Sadie was actively involved in mathematics education on the local, state, and national levels. Sadie co-authored over 60 mathematics textbooks for K-14, served as the President of the American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges (AMATYC), and was a member of the U.S. National Commission on Mathematics Instruction, the National Academy of Sciences. Among other awards, she received the AMATYC Mathematics Excellence Award and the Outstanding Alumna Award from the Teachers College Department of Mathematics, Science and Technology.
More than any of her professional endeavors, Sadie loved spending time with family and friends. She loved bargain shopping, listening to music, and watching movies (especially The Sound of Music and almost any western movie).
Above all else, Sadie enjoyed spending time with Alvin Sr.and their son, Alvin Jr., and more recently with her daughter-in-law, Jamila, and her beloved grandchildren, Maya (12) and Mark (9). Up until her recent decline in health, Sadie loved to attend Maya’s and Mark’s school, church, and sporting events or host them for sleepovers. Perhaps her favorite activity was post-church brunch at her house, which featured waffles with lots of syrup and mathematical enrichment games for Maya and Mark, which the family affectionately referred to as “Math Time.”
In addition to Alvin Jr., Jamila, Maya, and Mark, Sadie is survived by her brother, Lonnie Chavis, Jr.; her godson and nephew, Gregory Jefferson, Sr. (Jana); cousins, Mary Williams and Roland Christian, Jr.; mother-in-law, Horatia Hayes; eight siblings-in-law, Cordell Bragg-Weaver (Ricardo), Jacqueline Bragg Ruff, Howard Bragg, Wanda Hayes, Yvette Jones-Thomas (Jerome), Dwayne Hayes, Darryl Hayes, Sr. (Kyshia), and Danite Hayes-Easley (Ronnie); nieces and nephews, Lisa Chavis Gregory (Algie), Monica Chavis Goode, Tiffany Weaver, Ricardo Weaver, Jr., Ronald Ruff, Sr., Brandi Bragg, Aisha Edwards, Tazzley Hayes, Edwina Thomas, Jerome Thomas, Jr., Timothy Thomas, DeAngelo Lewis, Dwayne Hayes II, Caitlyn Hayes, Darryl Hayes, Jr., Ashely Hayes, DeAnta Hayes, Dominique Hayes, Donaisha Hayes, and Ronnie Easley; her great-nephews and nieces, the grandchildren of her beloved late sister, Maxine, and beloved late brother-in-law, Thomas: Gregory, Jr., Noël, and Evan Jefferson; her great-niece Alisa Gregory; godchildren, Dara Jemmott and Alex Huntley; Jamila’s siblings, Thema Ponton and Adom Martin, and a host of other relatives and friends.

Sadie Chavis Bragg (Ed.D. ’80), former Provost, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs and Professor of Mathematics at Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC), died in October at 74.
Bragg co-authored more than 60 textbooks on mathematics for students K–14. She served as President of the American Mathematical Association of Two- Year Colleges, receiving its Mathematics Excellence Award in 2010, and was a member of the U.S. National Commission on Mathematics Instruction and the National Academy of Sciences.
Bragg earned her TC doctorate in College Teaching of Mathematics and devoted her career to expanding educational opportunities for others, especially students of color and women. Early on she taught junior high school, including at an alternative school of the New York Urban League Street Academy. She also coordinated a college-bound program for youth and lectured on mathematics for college-bound adults at the Manhattan Educational Opportunity Center.
“When I taught mathematics to respiratory therapy students, I used many applications about their discipline, because students could do the algebra, but they couldn’t relate it to respiratory therapy,” she recalled. “They didn’t realize the relationship between the gas laws they were studying and logarithmic functions, or how formulas in their chemistry class related to those in math class.”
Bragg served on the Advisory Board to the Education and Human Resources Directorate of the National Science Foundation (NSF), where she helped write the NSF document Shaping the Future. “I want to see math across the curriculum like writing across the curriculum,” she said. She also chaired the NSF report The Integral Role of Two-Year Colleges in the Science and Mathematics Preparation of Prospective Teachers. Bragg received the Outstanding Alumna Award from TC’s Department of Mathematics, Science & Technology in 2005.
