On many occasions the members of my company have been
present to hear you speak about bridge building between the
ethnic groups here in the City of Miami. We have all been
encouraged by your comments.
Fflair Enterprises is one such bridge builder. We can
help you achieve your goal by using our ability to communicate
in the broadcast media. As you are acutely aware, many African
Americans feel that they have no voice in the affairs of this
city.
For two years, this company has been in production, pro-
ducing a 30 minute program devoted to minority concerns. We are
the only Black production company producing a broadcast series.
This feat has been made possible by the exclusive investment of
our personal monies.
Our show's popularity has grown immensely. There are few
citizens of prominence that have not or will not have heard of
FACES IN BLACK, our program.
With continued misrepresentation and worsening communications,
Fflair Enterprises needs your help in building those bridges.
Bridges that you have so often eluded to in your conversations
with the public.
If you are sincere; we are quite capable in helping you
to achieve your goal. Please allow a company such as this one
to become an active participant in the unifying of Miami..
S ncerely,
Ir

**** A PLEA FOR HELP ****
"There jumt :aren't any visual records of Didek People
participating, in the development of South Florida, circa leite
1990's."
The above statement may seem fictitious to individuals of
present day South Florida, however, it could easily become a
reality in centuries to come.
The majority of Young Black Children are ignorant of their
history, culture, and identity. How can you fault a Young Black
Child for those deficiencies, especially when he or she must
compete for recognition in a Tri-Ethnic Community.
FACES IN BLACK, needs your help! We are the only show
currently airing in South Florida that takes a direct interest
in minority children. FACE; IN BLACK, appears every Sunday at
5pm on WLRN CH 17. On FACES IN BLACK, young children will be
visually exposed to:
1. Their history (show five, airing Feb. 4th deals with
Black participation in the defense of democracy.
2. True role models (show one, airing Jan. 7th deals with
Lt. Bruce Dillard. Only one other Black has ever worn the Blue
Angels uniform.
3. The reason things are as they exist, (political,
social, environmental issues), explained in a way that they can
understand.
This is an honest plea for financial assistance. Not for
what will be, bdt for what is. FACES IN BLACK ,has been airing
in the Miami area for one full year. In order to continue and to
improve, we need your help.

'Faces In Black' a 30-minute,
news and entertainment magazine
program airing Sundays at 5:30
p.m. on Channel 17 WLRN, Is
hosted by former WEDR radio per-
sonality Jane Carnegie. The show
focuses on Blacks In the arts, sci-
ences, politics, entertainment and
local Black history in Miami.
Recently, Carnegie did personal
Interviews with stars like Bill Cos-
by and Patti LaBelle and Is plan-
ning to air a special show from the
Apollo Theater, featuring inter-
views with LaBelle and Melba
Moore. this'Sunday. '
But the seven -month show may
be no more. If Carnegie cannot
obtain funding for the show that
she produces with her non-proSt
company Flair Productions. She
has been trying to find underwri-
ters and sponsors for her show,
which debuted In January. but
hasn't been very successful. Right
now, the show is getting by on a
$1.500-an-episode budget.
We hope that people will find
the show educational, entertaining
and Informative,' said Carnegie.
who's invested $10.000 of her own
money into the project. 'People
don't know that we give Channel
17 the show already packaged.
They don't pay a cent for it. They
are getting quality Black program-
ming for free."
JANE CARNEGiEE. host of
"Faces In Black",
With the help of freelance v1d-
eographers, camera rentals and
the use of editing suites, Carnegie
puts together hershoweveryweek.
She does the writing, makes story
contacts. and carries out the pro-
ducing, directing, editing .and
Interview negotiations. She said
she's gotten compliments from
Dade County School Board chair-
man Bill Turner and Deputy
Superintendent Dr. Tee S. Greer
on the show. Greer gave Carnegie
some contacts, but none of them
turned out to be fruitful.
'We get compliments out of the
woodwork. but when it comes to
getting funding, People go'um. er,
uh, but," said Carnegie. the
mother of two young daughters.
'It's dlsheartening when you get
compliments and no money to
back them up to keep your show
going."
A native ofDelray Beach. Carne-
gie started her career at W'IVJ—'
Channel 4 and worked there from
1980 to 1982. thanks to her men-
tor, Phil Hamilton. She then moved
on to WEDR—FM and worked
there for five years, until leaving to
start her own show.
Carnegie said she's been turned
down a lot by many major Miami
companies, and the ones that do
help her don't give her a lot.
' Me amount we've gotten isn't
enough. We've got some support
from the community, but Ira still
not enough to keep a weekly show
going,' she said. 'It's hard forme to
keep financing it myself, when I
hop into that old Mustang I drive,
or I see my hunt door and air-
conditioning need fixing. or I think
about that dream vacation I could
be taking.' .
She still presses on. 'My philo-
sophy is you've got to continue
until there's no stone unturned."
she said. 'It's rough, but it's the
desire that keeps me going. When
people say to me they've enjoyed
the show, it's informative, itb
entertaining, that's the motivation
for me. It makes all the effort,
travelling and time away from my
family worthwhile. -
Carnegie said that Turner
recommended that Channel 17
donate some money to sponsor the
show. but station manager Don
McCollough explained money was
not available. at least not enough
to satiafaetortly produce the show.
'I had a knocked -down,
dragged -out argument with him.
He told me that Hispanic TV shows
get funding because they stick
together and support their prog-
ramming, by writing letters and
tuning In.' she said. 'He told ale he
had no idea if Blacks eves wanted
the show. much less watch it'
She Is gaining much good exper-
ience from the program. She said

She said Campbell has spbnsored

While she has received encouragement
