Black Journal; No. 505; Can You Dig It?

B-B-B-B-B-B B-B-B-B B-B-B-B B-B-B!

It's been hidden for a long time. You have the knowledge you know the art. On Black Journal... Black Journal. Can you dig it? A game of quick recall, skill, and fun. From New York City, your host, Tony Brown. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you very much, Gene. Hello, everybody. The big prize on Can you dig it is, of course, knowing yourself. Edmund Burke once said, a people will never look forward to posterity, who never look backward to their ancestors. Gene, let's meet our first players for the game. Tony, this is Kathy Liggins, a Taurus. Brenda Wallace, a Scorpio, and Melvin Jackson, a Libra. The object of the game is to accumulate

more points than any other player. And thereby achieve the highest score and when prizes containing knowledgeable information with the biggest prize of all being the knowledge gained of ourselves. The contestants are selected according to their astrological sun sign. There are no two contestants of the same sign in any one round. There are two preliminary rounds, one elimination round for the winners of those and a bonus round in which the game winner plays the numbers and runs the risk of getting busted for it or winning it all. During the preliminary rounds, the contestants will have to ring in trying to beat the other two contestants. If the contestant does ring in first and answers correctly, he or she will receive the 10 point value for that question. If he or she is incorrect, the other two contestants will have to ring in again. There is no penalty during the preliminary rounds for the wrong answer and the contestants may interrupt before the question is completed. The round continues until time runs out. The player at the end of the round with the highest scores declared the winner.

Two preliminary rounds are played in the same manner. At the end of the second preliminary round, there are two winners. The two winners of the preliminary rounds face each other in an elimination round. But during this round, a wrong answer means a penalty. And the point value of the question is deducted from the player's total. The player should devise a strategy whereby they can ring in early if they feel they know the answer. But be certain that it is the correct answer, so they won't be penalized. The trick is to be first and correct. The elimination round continues until the end of the allotted time. In case of a tie score, one final question will be given to determine the winner. The winner at the end of the elimination round goes to the bonus round and plays the numbers. On the bonus board, there are 12 numbers. Behind 11 of the numbers are names of famous blacks with assigned point values totaling 500 points. However, behind one of the numbers is the sign of jeopardy getting busted. The player can continue to call out numbers and accumulate points until either he has gotten all 11 famous blacks or he's busted.

If he does get busted, he or she will lose everything. An astrological prediction is made at the beginning of each preliminary round. This is not to advocate astrology as a science, just the form of entertainment. Gene, what are some of the prizes? Some of the prizes that will be won during this game include beautiful and functional handmade fans from Volga Tanga Marketplace in Northern Ghana. Handcrafted market baskets found in Dahomi. The fine designs and patterns of color in these baskets is hundreds of years old. A selection of books from the Johnson Publishing Company, including the Ebony Success Library, a practical three-volume working reference for individual and professional use in career orientation and guidance, the Ebony pictorial history of black America, up-to-date comprehensive authentic material, prepared under the direction of Ebony senior editorly Ron Bennett, hundreds of photographs and illustrations combined with living text, chronicle the times, and preserve a vital era of the black liberation movement. The Ebony Classics, the most inspiring works written by black writers about early struggles for freedom and dignity, beautifully bound

each with an introduction by a well-known scholar, the shaping of black America, the Ron Bennett's newest book. That's it, toning. Other than the questions on music, all the questions are selected by using this wheel. We spin the wheel, and depending on where it stops, let's say it stops then Leo. Then the question category will be things assigned to the constellation of Leo. All right? We'll be right back with our first questions in one minute. APPLAUSE All right, now let me remind you of the rules and the preliminary round.

When I ask a question, you may interrupt before I complete the question. You will not be penalized. And let me at this moment remind you that I did say earlier that we had astrologically predicted one of you as the favorite, the person who would win this round. And I think now for the home audience, we ought to let them look in at what our staff astrology has said about the outcome of this preliminary round. The contestants are favored in this round in this order. The Taurus, Kathy Liggins, the Libra, Melvin Jackson, the Scorpio, Brenda Wallace. All right, let's begin the real late game.
