How blacks have
benefited from the
Reagan recovery

BY JOSEPH PERKINS

Jim and Jackie McLean were
among seven entrepreneurs
honored in January by President
Reagan at a special program
hosted by U.S. Chamber of Com-
merce. In this decade, the
McLeans have built their
Baltimore-based independent
travel service into the largest
such enterprise in the state of
Maryland.

The husband-wife team
operates 14 offices in four states
and employs more than 100
workers. Their 11-year-old
firm"Four Seas and Seven
Winds"grossed more than $25
million last year from more than
300 corporate clients, ranking it
among the 50 largest black-
owned businesses in the country.

The 1980s"with a conser-
vative, free-market President in
the White House"have been go-
go years for black entrepreneurs
like the McLeans. Indeed, the
black economist Andrew Brim-
mer estimates that total black
business receipts increased to
$18.1 billion last year from $12.4
billion in 1982, translating into an
annual average growth rate of 7.9
per cent for black businesses
since 1982 (compared with 5 per
cent for all U.S. businesses).

The impressive performance of
the black business sector is not an
aberration, Indeed, if the state of
black America is gauged by
~positiveT indicators those that
measure blacks progress rather
than ~negativeT indicators that
measure pathology, the 1980s
have been a boom decade for
blacks.

The success of black enterprise
in the 1980s has been so over-
whelming that it almost over-
shadows black progress in other
important areas.

In its 1986 listing of the top
black companies, ~Black Enter-
priseT magazine reported ~recordT
growth for most of the firms on
its lists. Gross sales for the top
100 black firms rose by nearly 15
ed cent from the previous year,

t reported, easily outpacing the
growth in the nationTs gross na-
tional product and ~outdistancing
the Fortune 500, which grew by a
meager 2,8 per cent.~

The 1980s have seen the rise of
a new breed of black en-
trepreneurs, atl best
represented by Reginald Lewis,

Give every candidate a fair chance

BEFORE making a major purchase, the smart con-
sumer shops around. Whether the item being pur-
chased is a house, car, television or major appliance,
the underlying question to be answered for the con-
sumer concerns the quality of service.

Usually several things are taken into consideration
before the smart consumer makes a final decision
about which product to buy. The consumer may read
literature on the product and talk with associates who

If we are unable to answer the above questio;:
about any candidate, we should let someone else put
him or her in office. We should not give our vote to
anyone just because he or she is-on the ballot, and cer-
tainly not just because the party affiliation is the same
as ours.

If the candidate is a current office holder, we should
ask ourselves the following questions:
How often did we see this candidate in our commu-

have first-hand knowledge
of the product -- or the
particular brand of prod-
uct.

formance in office? How

it can end up with a lemon of a purchase. Many of us
are all too familiar with the term "lemon" as it refers to
used car sales.

Fortunately, most of us are very particular about
where and how we spend our dollars. If we would use
the same prudence when we exercise our right to vote,
we would have much more responsive legislators.

Of course, it is not possible to know everything
about every political office seeker. But it is important
to know something about the candidate for whom you
are voting, and that something must extend beyond the
candidate's name and party affiliation.

When we vote for legislators and jurists, we are
entrusting the people who win with the authority to
make decisions about some of the most important
aspects of our lives. Therefore it is important that we
know as much as possible about the individual who
will serve in office.

If the candidate is running for office for the first
time, we must find out what the person did before run-
ning for election.

We should ask ourselves the sap questions
about first-time office seekers:

Was the candidate politically involved

What was the candidate's public image before he or
she became dependent upon public support?

How supportive is, the candidate of those things

that we feel are important?
Is the candidate discussing his or her position on

specific issues openly and so that we are clear on how.
, the candidate will vote on a particular issue while in

office?

issues we consider important?

How much of an effort has the candidate made ~to
keep in touch with our community during his or her
previous term in office?

_. How have we benefitted from having this person in,
office?

Again, if we can not answer these questions about
any candidate, we should let someone else vote them
into office, and we should begin to pav much move
attention to what our politicians are saying and doing.
Their actions and their votes affect our welfare and the
welfare of our future generations.

Invariably, as election day draws nearer, the politi-
cal rhetoric becomes more and more partisan. We
should look beyond partisan rhetoric and listen to what
is being said to us from both Republican and Democrat
candidates.

What is the individual candidate saying that he
believes in and stands for? Nebulous buzz words like
"jobs, peace and progress" are not specific enough.
Does the candidate have a well-thought out plan of
action? Does he or she deliver a decisive oyes" and

o� when asked about a particular issue or is the
answer always somewhere in between?

It's time we read between the lines and listened
between the words when choosing legislators. We
should not be swayed by partisan arguments; we owe
our allegiance to no one -- Democrat or Republican.

This election we should give every candidate a fair
shot at our vote whether they are Democrats or Repub-
licans, But we must be sure of what we are getting in
return. It's time to get the lemons out of office.

Seat A race effects November 8th election

Karly endorsement

By Michael Garrett

This is an exciting and
challenging political year for
voters in the Afro-American com-
munity of Pitt County. Black
leaders succeeded in their bid to
have the federal government
restructure the electorial
districts for county commission
and school board seats. As a
result of that accomplishment,
Afro-Americans soon will occupy
at least two and maybe three
seats on the county commission.
Those who are still making deci-
sions as to for whom they will
vote might do well to review
some of the situations
the new process that include per-
sons who are new candidates.

When redistricting was still a
proposal, black and the

county commissioners

greed

plan should be implemented. Ap-
proval of any plan was needed
from the N.C, House

tatives before it ted.
It was the Pitt

legistlative on any in the
voting lines. mtative Tom

Dansey, TaftTs opponent, would
benefit from such displeasure
with bis nial cong
although Dansey was :
filiated with either side of the
issue. Taft took a deliberate
political risk by opposing black
leaders who sought to increase
chances for oyam gy rhe or

serve in the NAACP under Gar-
rettTs presidency of its Pitt Coun-
ty branch, neither saw the Love
campaign as to efforts to
unite the black community. As a
result of the Love campaign,
blacks came close to losing their:
chances of gaining Seat A.
Whatever the personal reasons
were, the black community paid
an awesome price; two more ex-
pensive and difficult elections.
Just as Tom Taft took a risk, so
did Farney Moore. In supporting
Rev. Love in the first primary,
Moore gave an indication as to
the kind of judgement that he
utilizes. Now, black voters will
have to decide whether they want
a commissioner who helped to
divide the black community or
one who supported Garrett on the
first ballot. Voters are entitled to
support whom as they please.
Their choice should never be held
against them. However, voters
who intend to be candidates such

as Moore and Rouse must expect
to be held accountable for whom
they support.

As a candidate in a

redominately black district,

ev. Moore should at least offer
voters solid explanations as to
why he worked against
Commissioner-Elect D.D. Gar-
rett. Failure to do so not only will
leave an important question in
the May 3rd primary, black
representation on an important
commission seat was at stake.
Rev. Love had every right to file
and Rev. Moore had every right
to support him. But, the best in-
terest of the black community
would have been more har-
moniously realized if Garrett
could have at least had no black
opposition. For Rev. Moore to be
a part of that opposition in May
and then remain a candidate in
the black community during the
same year is a very interesting
and bold position for him to take.

on the Board of Commissioners (Continued from page 1)
should he be elected. Black need

unified commissioners on the
board or their strength in the
commissionTs votes will be
powerless. If support in the May
3rd primary by black leaders of
Pitt County says anything to
Afro-American voters it should
say that Rouse and Garrett are
more likely to become an effec-
tive team on the Board of Com-
missioners. A Moore-Garrett
situation on the commission ap-
pears less certain of achieving
representation that will be most
effective.

Jim Rouse and Farney Moore
made their choices in the May 3rd
primary. Now voters can express
whether or not those choices
mean anything to them. In as
much as their choice will define
the effectiveness of black
representation on the PCBC, the
stakes are again very high and
the choice will make a tremen-
dous difference on terms of black
political power in Pitt County.

the black Wall Street attorney
who successully orchestrated a
$985 million leveraged buyout of
Beatrice International two years

ago.

By 1985, McCall was producing
$60 million in sales for TLC
Group, and in 1987 Lewis sold the
pattern company to a British
firm for $95 million, realizing a
95-to-1 return on his initial invest-
ment. Lewis used his profits to
secure financing from Drexel
Burnham for acquisition of
Beatrice International, the food
manufacturer and distributor.

In the 1980s, the most suc-
cessful black entrepreneurs are
those, like Lewis, who look to the
market-place rather than to the
government for opportunity.

The success of black en-
trepreneurs in the 1980s is rival-
ed only by the gains of the black
middle class. Black social scien-
tist Bart Landry, a visiting
scholar at the Joint Center for
Political Studies, estimates that
this upwardly mobile class of
blacks has grown by a third in
this decade, to 4.8 million in 1988
from 3.6 million in 1980. His
definition is based on employ-
ment in white-collar jobs as well
as on income levels.

I support the Republican party
Candidates in the 1988 election
and would like to urge other
members of the black race to do
So.

Thold this position because the
greatest enemy facing the black
race in 1988 is the white liberal.
Most Republicans are not
liberals. The only thing worse
than a Democratic liberal is a
Republican liberal"and thank
heavens, there are only a few of
those left. The only thing worse
than a white liberal is a black
liberal, and the only thing worse
than a black liberal is a black
opportunist"better known col-
lectively as the black elite.

I support the Republican party
because the key to the American
dream is citizenship, with all of
its rights and privileges, and also
with all of its responsibilities and
obligations. With the
Republicans, full citizenship for
the black race may be possible.
With the white Democratic
liberal policies, full citizenship
for the black race can never be.

I support Republicans because
I believe that abortion is wrong.

I support Republicans because
I believe that handing out sex
devices in our schools is wrong.

I support Republicans because
I believe that divestment in South
Africa is wrong. .

I support Republicans because
I believe that handing out
diplomas to black Americans
who have not been taught what
that diploma represents is wrong.

I support Republicans because

Blacks threaten to stay home

By CHARLES BAILLOU

A significant number of
African-American voters,
smarting over how Democratic
presidential candidate Michael
Dukakis . ~~disrespected� Jesse
Jackson by picking Texas Sen.
Lloyd Bentsen over the A frican-
American runner-up in the
Democratic presidential
primary are threatening to stay
and other white supremacist or-
ganizations.�

So, Moore forsees under a
Bush presidency o~not only a
dampening of our expectations,
but a definite move backward.�

He pointed to President Rea-
ganTs appointment of Conserva-

eighties and are very likely to
retire during the next presi-
dents term.

As a result, Moore said the
next president will have a cru-
cial role in changing the balance
of the Court. And he said that
the selection of judges is not

tives, Sandra Day OTConnor,
Antonin Scalia and Anthony
Kennedy, to the Supreme Court.
And with the president's addi-
tional appointment of Richard
Rehnquist as Chief Supreme
Court Justice, Moore noted that
oReagan has swung the pen-

dulum of the Supreme Court in restricted to the Supreme Court
favor of the conservative ele but to the appointment of
ment.� Federal District Judges, whom

the president appoints as well.

Currently, he pointed out,
(President) Regan has ap-
Pointed the lowest number of
women and minorities to the

Now, he contends, the con-
servatives already have a ma-
jority of one on the nine member

even more cause for for alarm is

and help these students through to graduation.

Hazardous waste disposal must be centralized.

Alcohol is still our major drug. Our Society has little
concern for it as witness its advertising and its use in
typical gatherings. Use of other drugs by the individual

must be more effective in punishing both traffickers

First of all, NO nuclear waste disposals should be
stored in Pitt County; secondly, all waste should be
subject to inspection to allow all recyclable material to
be extracted and development of an incineration di-
sposal unit should be implemented to avoid further
landfill disposals. A safe and clean waste disposal is
essential.

greater harmonious contacts with ECU and PCC to
reach and retain qualified blacks to work in the black

Because tobacco has meant so much to the develop
ment of this country and this county and state, a most
vigorous approach should be implemented to help

The disposal issue should encompass both long range
and short range approaches. One immediate goal
should be education and mandatory implementation of
recycling of all refuse collections both public and pri-
vate. Long range solutions could continue recycling
and seek State and Federal expertise and funding for
research and construction and Legislative passage of
State-wide Laws to address uniform disposal
standards.

Growth for Greenville/Pitt County should be carefully
planned. Extensive input from citizens living in af-
fected areas should be mandatory in both planning
and implementation. The present Sunburst Pattern of
development from Greenville outward should be ex-
amined and attention given to simultaneous satellite
dsvelopment throughout the County to assure equal
access to goods and services to ali citizens.

Ey

When evaluating the issues impacting agriculture
1988, several key topics come to mind. Some of these
are water quality, revitalization of rural America, com-
petitiveness and profitability of sgricuitural commod!-
ties. It is felt that the main theme thet currently chal-
lenges agriculture is the need for a awareness

Letter To
" The Editor "

October 24, 1988

In the September 29 to October
5, 1988 issue of the ~M~ Voice the
editor made a positive move by
correcting misleading
statements made in reference to
Sheriff Ralph Tyson. In this day
and time when smear tactics
have become common place it is
refreshing to find a responsible
editor such as Jim Rouse who will
correct misleading comments. A
man like this certainly has the
leadership, fortitude and integri-
ty Pitt County desperately needs.
I am all for truth in reporting but
after reading the corrections I
can not help but feel that the cor-
rections appear to be utilized
more as defense of Ralph Tyson
rather than strictly reporting the
facts of the incident in question.

In reading the retraction of the
statements made about the
possibility of Sheriff Tyson being
senile it reminds me of another
incident the Watergate Incident.
There is one important fact that
never reached print and that is
that the entire incident has been
turned over to the GovernorTs of-
fice for further investigation.

If the black employees of the
Pitt County SheriffTs Department
are subjected to. racial
discrimination and segregation
that starts at the upper level
management and sifts down
through the department one can
only speculate what discrimina-
tion the average black citizen of
Pitt County may be subjected to.

The vision and progress that
Martin Luther King gave his life
for in the 1960Ts has never gotten
started ~within the Pitt County
SheriffTs Department under
TysonTs 21 year reign as Sheriff.

The fact that Tyson is an
elected official means that the
black community can make
changes. We must remember
these incidences when we cast
our vote for the new Sheriff in the
SheriffTs election. With the elec-
tion of D.D. Garrett it should be
evident to everyone how much
each individual vote counts.
Therefore, if we band together we
can be instrumental in change
within Pitt County particularly
the Pitt County SheriffTs
Department.

Sincerely,

King Gardner

DEAD WEIGHT

ITve been a dead weight many
years,

Around the churchTs neck.

ITve let the others carry me
And always pay the check.

ITve had my name upon the rolls,
For years and years gone by;
ITve criticized and grumbled, too;
Nothing could satisfy.

ITve been a dead weight long
enough

Upon the churchTs neck,
Beginning now, ITm going to take
A wholly different track,ITm go-
ing to pray and pay and work;
And carry loads instead;

And not have others carry me
Like people do the dead.

CHURCH MEMBERS
BEATITUDES

Blessed is he who will not strain
at a drizzle and swallow a
downpour.

Blessed is he who tries a little
harder when all around say: ~It
can not be done.

Blessed is he whose program
contains a prayer meeting night.

Blessed is the church leader
who is not pessimistic.

Blessed is he who loves the
church before his business.

Blessed is he who can walk as
fast to a religious service as to
town.

Blessed is he who invites peo-
ple to church and comes along
himself.

Blessed are those who never
gossip about the faults of the
church but work to make it
better.

WHEN ITTS THE OTHER
FELLOW

Have you ever noticed?

When the other fellow acts a
certain way, he is ~ill temperedT;
when you do it, itTs ~nervesT~.

When the other fellow is set in
his ways, heTs ~obstinate~; when
you are it is just ~firmnessT.

When the other fellow doesnTt
like your friends, heTs ~prejudic-
ed~; when you donTt like his, you
are simply showing that you are
a good judge of human nature.

When the other fellow tries to
treat someone especially well, he
is a ~flatterer~; when you try the
same thing you are using ~tactT.

When the other fellow takes
time to do things, he is ~dead
slow~; when you do it, you are
~deliberateT.

When the other fellow spends a
lot he is a ~spendthrift~; when you
do, you are ~generousT.

When the other fellow holds too
tight to his money, he is ~close~;
when you do, you are ~prudentT.

When the other fellow dresses
extra well, heTs a ~dude~; when
you do, it is simply ~a duty one
owes to societyT.

When the other fellow runs
great risks in business, he is
~foolhardy~; when you do, you are
a ~Great Financier~.

When the other fellow says
what he thinks, he is ~spiteful~;
when you do, you are ~frankT.
Once there was a little hand that
could do many things
It could say ~Stop~

It could point to anything it
wanted (even though thatTs not
always polite).

It could scratch.

It could say ~PeaceT.

And it could wave goodbye.

It could be strong or very gentle.
It could be scary or stand at
attention.

But it couldnTt make a sound.
The hand became dejected and
sad.

Then something happened"
another hand appeared, and
there was a wonderful noise. And
that just goes to show you that it
takes two hands to clap.

A TRIBUTE TO
MR. D.D. GARRETT

Hard work, tenacity, deter-
mination, overflowing with a
positive attitude, asserting itself
warmly and agreeably, were
pluses in D.D. GarrettTs victory,
not withstanding the rugged,
stony road he trodded to gain this
milestone here in Pitt County.

~No one knows what he can do
until ne tries~. GarrettTs footsteps
on the sands of time will be left
by work shoes~.

Congratulations! We are proud
of your accomplishment. God
grant you many fulfilling years.

What Went Wrong?

This is the story of four people:
Everybody, Somebody, Anybody
and Nobody.

There was an important job to
be done, and Everybody was sure
that Somebody would do it.

Anybody could have done it,
but Nobody did it.

Somebody got angry, because
it was EverybodyTs job.

Everybody thought
Somebody would do it,

But Nobody asked Anybody.

It ended up that the job wasnTt
done, and Everybody blamed
Everybody, when actually

Nobody asked Anybody.

Jailed for 21

man said to is framed

By MARK LANE
Exclusive to the Amsterdam
News

Twenty years ago in Arcadia,
Fla., an illiterate, Black farm-
worker was convicted by an all
white jury, after having been
charged by a white sheriff and
white prosecuting attorney
and tried before a white judge of
the most heinous crime im-
aginable. His name was James

Richardson and he was charged
with murdering his seven child-
ren.

I learned about the case from
the newspapers and the exten-
sive national television
coverage. Since I had doubts
about the case against Mr.
Richardson I moved to Florida
in 1968 and spent a year investi-
gating the case. I also inter-
viewed Richardson on death

Writes Landry, who last year
wrote ~The New Black Middle
Class~: ~The attention given to the
rapid growth of female-headed
black families"gives the impres-
sion that the black family is fall-
ing apart. Nothing could be fur-
ther from the truth. The higher
one rises up the class ladder, the
more stable are all families,
black and white.

~In the upper middle class,
about two-thirds of all black
families are still headed by two
parents. The majority have both
spouses working full-time,
generating combined earnings
that translate into a solid middle-
class living standard.~ In the
1980s, adds Landry, ~More and
more blacks are...finding the
American Dream within their
reach.~

The rise in black incomes is
largely attributable to the ex-
plosive growth of jobs over the
last five and one-half years. Over

that span, total black employ-
ment has grown to 11.5 million
from 9.2 million, a gain of 2.3
million new jobs!

And blacks have benefited
disproportionately from the
Reagan boom: They gained 15
per cent of the new jobs, even
though they account for only 11
per cent of the working-age
population.

In the meantime, the black
jobless rate has been cut by
almost half since 1982. At the
same time, the black employ-
ment rate"the percentage of
working-age persons holding
jobs"has increased to record
levels, from 49 per cent in 1982 to
56 per cent y:

Even black teen-agers have
profited from the great job boom
of the 1980s. Since 1983, some
122,000 young blacks have been
added to the job rolls, driving
down black teen-age uneinploy-
ment by 20 per cent over that

span. Moreover, the young blacks
that choose to work earn virtual-
ly as much as whites.

The black middle class has also
prospered during the current job
boom. The Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
reported last year that the
number of black managers and
officers in corporations with 100
or more employees increased by
30 per cent between 1980 and 1985,
to 215,000 from 165,000. Over the
same span, the number of black
professionals increased by a
staggering 63 per cent, to 189,000
from 116,000. The 1980s have also
seen the emergency of a cadre of
black executies at leading For-
tune 1000 companies.

Jerry O. Williams, president
and chief operating officer of AM
International, oversees day-to-
day operations for the $1.2-billion
concern, which markets and
distributes graphic equipment
and supplies. He is odds-on
favorite to become the first black
CEO of a Fortune 500 company.

A. Barry Rand, vice president
at Xerox, manages a division that
produced $4 billion in revenues in
1986. Kenneth L. Chenault, an ex-
ecutive vice president at
American Express, oversees the
companyTs Platinum Card/Gold
Card division. Robert M.
Beavers, a senior vice president
at McDonalds, is responsible for
1,600 restaurants in seven regions
that account for $2.5 billion in
sales.

The 1980s have been a decade
of opportunity and blacks have
been among the _ biggest
beneficiaries. Much of the credit
must go to Ronald Reagan, who
initiated the policies that fostered
the economic growth and job
creation in the 1980s, and that
produced the prosperity that
most black Americans enjoy.

Dear Concerned Mother:

Sounds like your child does
need further counseling, but
maybe you and his father do also.
Even though you two are
separated, you need to show a
united front in terms of your childTs
welfare. If there is a responsible
adult that your child likes maybe
he would open up to him or her. It
is certainly possible that the
separation from your husband has
caused some inner turmoil in your
childTs mind. Please donTt ignore
the issue as it will not go away.
Your child could be crying inside
for attention and may be unable to
verbalize his needs. Seek
competent advice right away.

Dear Lonely:

You need to be honest with
yourself first and then with your
pastor. Tell him of your concern
about how his frequent visits might
look. Hopefully, without any
encouragement from you, his
visits will be less frequent.

As far as your loneliness,
maybe you need to get more
involved in something useful that
gets you around other people or
perhaps a hobby such as
needlework will help pass the time.

GREENVILLE - Donald
Woods, a white South African
author and former newspaper
editor whose editorial views
resulted in his arrest and
censorship by his countryTs
government, willspeak Thursday,
Oct. 27, at East Carolina
University.

Woods, whose experiences in
South Africa were portrayed in
the movie ~o~Cry Freedom,� will
discuss his views about the South
African racial policy of apartheid
at 8 p.m. in Hendrix Theatre in
Mendenhall Student Center. The
program, sponsored by the ECU
Student Forum Committee, is free
and open to the public.

A descendant of British and
Irish pioneers who settled in South
Africa in 1820, Woods studied law
at the University of Capetown
before entering journalism. In 1965
he became editor-in-chief of the
Daily Dispatch, a 114-year old
South African newspaper and his
editorial attacks on the racial
policy of apartheid drew
increasing fire from the South
African government.

Woods was prosecuted in court
seven times under the countryTs
strict publication laws restricting
criticism of governmental policy.
In 1977 he was arrested for
publishing details of the killing of
his friend, the young black leader
Steve Biko. The arrest resulted in
his being forbidden to write, to
speak publicly, to be quoted in the
press and to speak with more than
one other person at a time.

Three months after his arrest,
he escaped with his wife and five
children across the border intothe
black-ruled country of Lesotho.
The family now lives in London
where Woods works as a writer,
broadcaster and lecturer.

} ~Since leaving South Africa,
Woods has written three books
about his native country. The
books include ooBiko,�Ta biography,
oAsking for Trouble,TT an award-

- winning autobiography, and

oBlack and White,�T about the South
African situation.

The story of his escape from
South Africa, disguised asa priest,
has been toldina British television
documentary drama recently
screened in the U.S. on the Cable
News Network. In 1987 he was
portrayed by actor Kevin Kline in
the move o~Cry Freedom,� directed
by Sir Richard Attenborough, the
Academy Award-winning director
of oGandhi.�

Since the movie Woods has
published two other books,
oFilming with Attenborough,�
which chronicles the making of
movie, and ~South African
Dispatches,� a collection of the
editorials he wrote while in South
Africa.

Fulani, Alliance nominee seeking defeat of Dukakis

By SIMON ANEKWE
Amsterdam News Staff

For what could be a sig-
nificant percentage of Blacks in
New York and other states, the
Nov. 8 election choice between
Vice President George Bush
anc Governor Michael Dukakis
would really be a choice between
Rev. Jesse Jackson and Dr.
Lenora Fulani.

Losing his Presidential
primary bid, Rev. Jackson
pressed for and Dukakis
adopted a policy of ~~inclusion,
expansion and unityTT that al-

lowed the National Rainbow
Coalition leader to go all out in
campaigning for the Governor.
And in the Congressional Black
Caucus Legislative Weekend
Sept. 17 keynote address, Jack-
son outlined at length why
Bush did not and Dukakis did
deserve to win.

But Dr. Fulani, Presidential
candidate of the New Alliance
Party has been working hard,
not to win or get into the White
House, but to defeat Gov.
Dukakis. She is strenuously

try seeking to draw Black
Democrats - and others of the
seven million Americans who
voted for Jackson in the
primary - to her column.

oDump the Duke� is how she
and her party affiliates put it.
Both Bush and Dukakis know
that whoever wins in November
will do so by a slim margin. And
the victory will come, not so
much as a result of the total na-
tional popular vote as by the
total of electoral college votes
won in each state.

Fulani is the first woman and
the first African-American ever
to be on the Presidential ballot
in all 50 states and the District
of Columbia. She is strategically
deploying her resources in a
way to do the greatest damage
to the Democrats and Dukakis
in selected states.

DEAR DECENT CITIZENS
OF PITT COUNTY

After repeated attempts with local school personnel to have the state AIDS
curriculum modified in keeping with traditional values of local citizens, we have
been told that the curriculum may not be modified. We have asked for certain
phrases to be included in the curriculum for our children such as:

1. oSex within marriage� (The term omarriage� never appears in the
classroom instruction of the curriculum).

2. Homosexual behaviors defined as abnormal (These practices are also
illegal in N. C.)

3. The failure rate for condoms during heterosexual acts (10%) and
homosexual acts (50%)*

Please contact your elected school board representative and our superintendent
and express your concerns. They say that they have heard only from a vocal
minority on this issue and indicated that they need to hear from a vocal
majority.

In support of all this, I hereby submit this letter for publication:
September 20, 1988





Edwin L. West, Jr., Superintendent
Pitt County Schools

1717 West Fifth Street

Greenville, NC 27834

Dear Dr. West:

Thank you for the letter acknowledging my attendance of the September 12th meeting of the Pitt
County Board of Education.

I trust, sir, that after hearing comments from Dr. Cecil Rhodes and the Reverend James Giesey at the
September 12th meeting, you do realize that parents of Pitt County's youth are seriously concerned
about the AIDS curriculum as it now stands.



The amendments that we requested to the curriculum are not unreasonable, However, the response in
your letter to me was evasive, to say the least. If you'll look at page oix"T of the AIDS curriculum, the
Governor's letter, I'm sure you can clearly see why we feel that we are petting the same o~lip service�
from you regarding this issue that the Governor hoped that parents would not receive. The law ( House

Bil] 666) calls for oparental involvementTT. not just lip service.



Your letter referred to an October meeting at the state level. Apparently you do not understand the
workings of a legislative study. The task force may not report their findings to full legislature until such
time that another full school year may have passed.




We, the concerned parents and citizens of Pitt County, ask that the requested changes be made now.
Many ~ined counties across the state have made amendments to or rewritten sections of the
curriculum,





You also mentioned the Ad Hoc Instruction Committee of the Pitt County: Board in your letter. Could
you please send me a copy of the names and addresses of the persons on that committee?



Since you want to hold off on fulfilling our requests until after the legislative findings are in, perha
the best plan would be not to let the curriculum into the classrooms of Pitt County untif that time. On the
other hand, if you do implement the curriculum as is, rest assured that we, as concerned parents and
citizens of Pitt County will be at your door step. Even now, copies of this letter are being circulated
throughout the county.



A prompt reply to this letter and our requests would be deeply appreciated.

Sincerely

Tracy Lupton
