A Walk of Fame for African-Americans in film, television, and theater is inaugurated outside of the Bushfire Theater for Performing Arts.  Director Lloyd Richards and actor John Amos make handprints in the sidewalk.  Deceased performers Paul Robeson, Ira Aldridge, and Dorothy Dandridge as well as theater technician William B. Dickerson will be honored with plaques placed on the pavement.  This event is the first Walk of Fame for blacks in the United States.  By L. Pardue
