[[images - three black & white photographs]]

The purpose of the Phelp Stokes Foundation is to aid African students in their quest for education in the United States. In order to support the work of the fund, many noted citizens have donated their services and names to produce Happenings to help achieve the goals of Phelp Stokes.

Two people who have come to the aid of Phelp Stokes are Arthur Ashe, the internationally famed Tennis star, who sponsors a "Happening" in tennis which attracted persons like the late Jackie Robinson, Mrs. Rachel Robinson, the Ed Sullivans, the Bill Cosbys, the Sydney Poitiers and the Ambassador Bush's as participants. A second happening is the Annual Fourth of July weekend "Soul Food Dinner" which is held on the lawn of Doctor and Mrs. Lionel Barrow in Oak Bluffs, Mass.
