Text transcribed from caption: C-32209 POPE GREETS SECOND NEGRO CARDINAL VATICAN CITY -- Paul Cardinal Zoungrana, Archbishop of Ouagadougou, Upper Volta in West Africa, receives a warm welcome from Pope Paul VI at the public consistory during which the Pontiff presented 26 new cardinals with their scarlet birettas. The ritual of conferring the Red Hat, or galero, best known insignia of a cardinal, was dispensed with for the first time in the streamlined consistory. Cardinal Zoungrana is the second Negro Prince of the Church. The first is Laurian Cardinal Rugambwa, Bishop of Bukoba, Tanzania. Credit Must Read: RELIGIOUS NEWS SERVICE PHOTO (ANS-3A-65-NAB)
