~Resolutions~
exciting,
but
This is an
penetrating, serious
humerous gospel play.
No matter how strong your
defenses are, I assure you that
you will jump, shout, laugh and
cry. ~Resolutions~ has taken this
world by storm. It deals with the
*. seduction of a young girl, false
pretension, and the movement of
evil around us. It also tells of the
commitments made to God,
themselves and others.
~ResolutionsT written by Ms.
Dorothy Hughes of Richmond,
Virginia is bound to be the play
of the century. It tells the story of
hypocrisy in the church, the cour-
troom, the home, schools"
todayTs world that we all play a
part in, however small it might
i be.
Dorothy Hughes who wrote the
- play, ~Resolution~ out of a need to
show people the reality of life in
order that we might resolve some
of our own lifeTs situation while
there is still time.
~Resolutions~ is a contempory,
melodramatic, christian play. It
touches the hearts of all groups of
the community.
Within the play, you shall see
many ..sub-plots such as:. a.
dramati¢ court scene where.a~
woman loses her children by the
deceitfulness of her ~friends~, the
children fight for identity and
love, a rebellious teenager who
leaves her motherTs home for a
married man, the turmoil of the
~party goer scene~, and a chris-
tian familyTs trails to maintain
their faith in GOD through it all.
A solution to all of lifeTs
demands"a purpose for living"
unevils as the play draws to a
close. Thank GOD we've read the
back of ~the Book~ and we know
who wins.

Coz and wife: $20-million team
By J. ZAMGBA BROWNE
Amsterdam News Staff
There were 20 million and one
reason for great celebration last
Friday night at Spelman Col-
lege in Atlanta.
First, the 107-year-old Black
institution installed a new presi-
dent, and moments later, Actor-
comedian Bill Cosby and his
wife, Camille stopped by and
dropped off a generous donation
of $20 million.
But again, this sort of
generosity is right up Cosby's
alley. In recent years, he has ex-
emplified himself as an out-
standing Black philanthropist
who thinks nothing about help-
ing the educational plight of his
people,
Dr. Powell
left millions
Dr.
publisher of the Amsterdam
News, left between $10 to $15
million to Howard University
Medical School and the
Meharry Medical School.
Included also is real property ©
located in Briarcliff Manor,
New York and Oak Bluffs,
Mass.
., A year ago, the actor donated
$2 million to Howard Univer-
sity in Washington, D.C. and a
few months later plunked down |
$25,000 for information leading
to the arrest and conviction of
those whom Tawana Brawley
said sexually attacked her.
Cosby who had gone to Spel-
man to witness the installation
of Dr. Johnnetta Cole, a former
professorT of anthropolcgy at
Hunter College as president, is
said to have stunned the au-
dience when he announced his
gift.
But he told the more than
2,000 guests to cool it and not
to applaud him prematurely be-
cause the academic center for
which part of the money is ear-
marked, hasn't been erected
yet.
oI donTt know how long it will
be. All the best intentions can
be circumvented by some
plumber,? the comedian was
quoted as saying jokingly.
He further said, ~Mrs. Cosby
and I wanted Dr. Cole, the new-
ly installed president to know
how much we love this school.

éd Precinct #3 election day. This
is his account.
Well, the 1988 election is now
history and majority has decided
on who would lead this city, coun-
ty, state, and nation.
Yet, since the elction is over, it
is time to look at those of us who
were poll workersT and
candidates.
This reporter witnessed some
of the most unprofessional and ig-
norant behavior by some of our
so-called prominent leaders and
aspiring leaders in the black
community.
We have stigmatized ourselves
in believing that if you are black,
you should vote for only blacks or
democrats, work for only black
candidates, and and that if you
are black you canTt be a
republican. All of these are
RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES. I
can decide as I want.
If you have two black can-
didates vieing for the same office,
it does not have to turn into a war.
Any person has the right to cam-
paign as a Democrat or a
Republican. It is not the party,
itTs the person.
A poll worker does not have the
right to downgrade another poll
worker because he is either work-
ing for a white candidate or a
republican.
The polls were like a circus this
November 8th, especially
precinct #3 (West Greenville).
One self-proclaimed prominent
member of the Democratic Par-
ty should have been arrested for
disturbing the peace. Every time
this person appeared there was
pure chaos, All day this person
accosted poll-workers, voter's,
T.V. crews, and even an official.
There was another incident in
which a member of the black
; clergy almost provoked a young
: | man into striking him, if it had
not been for 2 other poll workers,

We must remember, just
because we may have a better
job, live in a better house, or live
a better life, you have no right to
criticize those who appear less
fortunate.
The majority of candidates
(both BLACK and WHITE) wonTt
even go ino some black com-
mununities until election time
comes. Then they come and beg
for your support.
One good thing did happen and
that was that the candidates
themselves acted very
professional.
By the way, this reporter is
proud to be black and proud to be
a Democrat.

BILL AND CAMILLE COSBY
My family has been blessed be-
cause we found a vein of gold in
the side of a mountain.?
One of CosbyTs daughters,
Erika, was graduated recently
from Spelman. The comedian
himself is an alumnus of Temple
University and holds doctorate
from the University of Mas-
sachusetts at Amherst. His wife
attended the University of
Maryland.
Dr. Cole told reporters Cosby
made it clear in the presence of
others at her inaugural dinner
that his donation was a way of
challenging other wealthy
Blacks to support Black aca-
demic institutions.
Dr. Cole said she was im-
pressed by the gift and about
$12 million of the money will be
used to erect an academic cen-
ter.
She said the new center will
include classrooms for the
CORNERSTONE MISSIONARY
Saturday was full of fun and African Americans showed their wear
schoolTs honors programs, its
womenTs center, an audio-visual
center, faculty offices and a fine

The balance of Cosby dona-
tion, Dr. Cole continued, will be
put into the schoolTs endow-
ment and later used to create a
number of teaching. chairs in
various fields.
Christopher Edley, Sr., head
of the United Negro College
Fund which is responsible for
raising money to aid historically
Black academic institutions,
praised Cosby for his generosi-
ty.
Edley said the gift was ~~the
biggest boost and opportunity
we have ever had in terms of
funds.?T Like Cosby, he said the
donation would set an example
for wealthy Blacks to be more
significantly supporting of the
institutions.

~HOME INFLUENCE ON MAN~
FROM: CHARLOTTE
PERKINS GILMANTS ~THE
HOME: ITS WORK AND
INFLUENCE~
The best proof of manTs
dissatisfaction with the home is
found in his universal absence
from it. ItTs not only that his work
takes him out (and he sees to it
that it does!) but the man who
does not ~have to work~ also goes
out for pleasure.
The leisure classes in any coun-
try have no necessity upon them
to leave home, yet their whole
range of uneasy activity is to get
outside, or to furnish constant
diversion and entertainment, to
while away the hours within. A
human creature must work, play,
or rest. Men work outside, play
outside, and cannot rest more
than so long at a time.
The man maintains a home, as
part of his life area, but does not
himself find room in it. This is
legitimate enough. It should be
equally true of the woman. No
human life of our period can find
full exercise in a home. Both need
it, to rest in; to work from; but
not to stay in.
This we find practically work-
ed out in the average manTs at-
titude toward the home. He pro-

vides it cheerfully, affectionate-
ly, proudly; at any cost of labor,
- care and ingenuity; not if he has
to stay in it too much. He knows
it softens and enfeebles him. So
he goes out, to meet men, to work
and live as he can; and when he
wants ~A really good time~"rest,
recreation, healthful
amusement"he goes altogether
with ~the boys~. The distant camp
in the woods, the mountain climb,
the hunting trip"real rest and
pleasure to the man are found
with men away from home.
He does not bring his defi-
ciences in business home to his
wife and expect her to walk the
floor at night with them. The
systematised manTs work is done
for the day, and he comes home
to shoulder a share of the un-
systematised inadequate
womanTs work.
What does the average man
want when he comes home from
work? He wants companionship,
amusement; he wants ease,
freedom, comfort, pleasant com-
pany, talk of something new"
these are the main needs. He
doesnTt want to hear the scream-
ing babies, an exhausted wife, ill-
cooked food and the endless
demands of his purse.
Today, women are no longer
confined to the home; advance-
ment has been made and sheTs
much the equal or superior most-

and income and careers. Men
now play a big or equal role in
nurturing and rearing their
children; in spending time home

warmth, health and happiness in
the home.

On Saturday, Aug. 27, America
celebrated the 25th anniversary
of the historic March on
Washington. Although the mar-
chers emphasized universal
themes such as jobs, poverty,
apartheid, and human rights,
fewer than 50,000 people par-
ticipated. Whereas the August
1963 march attracted a crowd of
250,000, and occurred during the
height of the civil rights move-
ment, the 1988 march evolved
within a rather subdued conser-
vative environment. Also, unlike
1963, the recent march failed to
capture the imagination of the
nation and the world.
Undoubtedly, one of the most
striking differences was the
absence of Martin Luther King
Jr. KingTs presence cast a
shadow over the 1963 march and
his now famous ~I-Have-A-
Dream~ speech electrified the
crowd. KingTs speech pricked the
conscience of a sympathetic na-
tion that was struggling to over-
come the shame and violence of
Birmingham. KingTs address is
still one of the most debated and
controversial aspects of the civil
rights era.
What happened? If you had
surgery on Saturday, August 27,
1988 and missed the national
news on Sunday, August 28, 1988,
you would not have known about
the march. Although the national
media was somewhat less in-
terested, in fairness, the 1988
march was probably as well
organized as the historic 1963
march. Did the absence of Mar-
tin Luther King Jr. make for so
vast a difference? In retrospect,
it was not so much the absence of
King as it was A. Phillip Ran-
dolph, Whitney Young, Walter
Reuther and the aura and
violence of Birmingham, Ala.
The 1963 march happened several
weeks after the April 1963 civil
rights demonstrations in Birm-
ingham. Birmingham shocked
the nation, and in response, a

liberal Democratic president,
John F, Kennedy, not only sanc-
tioned the march but also
challenged federal agencies and
the nation to support the
demonstration as well.
On Saturday, August 27, 1988,
high federal officials were absent
from the podium. Aside from law
enforcement, the Department of
Housing and Urban Develope-
ment (HUD), and the National
Parks Service, most federal
agencies ignored the protest. But
equally important was the
absence of black residents from
the greater Washington, D.C.
metropolitan region. There are
several million black residents in
the Washington area. Washinton,
D.C. alone has a population of ap-
proximately 800,000 of which 70
percent are black. Why such a
small crowd. Was it apathy and
complacency?
The answer is obvious. The
place to begin is Birmingham and
Selma. Both protests laid the
foundation for two of the most
sweeping pieces of social and
civil legislation in American
history, the 1964 public accom-
modations bill and the voting
rights bill of 1965. Both laws
enlarged the black electorate and
eventually created a large mid-
dle class in urban America. But
demographically, as the black
middle class increased, the na-
tionTs national priorities changed
even more dramatically. The
Vietman War, the space pro-
gram, Watergate, and an oil
crisis derailed the civil rights
movement. Meanwhile, the new
black elite was reeling from
double-digit inflation, high
unemployment, drugs, and the
seemingly disintegration of the
black family. And as the black
community struggled for sur-
vival, national black institutions
such as the National Urban
League, and historically black

Have young blacks forgotten?
colleges found themselves on the
defensive.
But throughout the late 1970's
and the early 1980Ts, the
devastating effects of the above
problems remained somewhat
camouflaged by many black
leaders who blamed conser-
vatism and racism for their in-
ability to uplift the race. And in-
asmuch that the leadership lack-
ed a national strategy to teach
and to preserve the legacy of the
civil rights movement, an entire
generation of blacks graduated
from predominantly white in-
stitutions into the middle class
without any sensitivity to what
Vincent Hardin calls ~the source
of the river.~ Also, many black
leaders were not clairvoyant
enough to see that the
technological revolution which
exploded during the late 1970Ts
had been in motion for the past
two decades and would have oc-
curred had their candidate been
elected to the presidency of the
United States.
The tragedy is not individual
naivety but the fact that an entire
generation of youth matured
without any sensitivity to pain
and suffering of Birmingham and

NEW YORK -- Racism can
be defined as economically
empowered racial prejudice and
discrimination.
Although there have been
some recent scholarly attempts to
deny the persistence of racism as
a major social problem con-
fronting the social order in the
United States, the evidence of
blatant societal racism continues
to be exposed.
Recently in the state of New
York, a report issued by the state-
appointed Task Force on the Edu-
Cation of Children and Youth at
Risk concluded that racism is an
institutional reality in the public
school system.
The findings of this report
have far-reaching implications for
the entire nation.
The report revealed that New
York has two unequal public
school systems: one in the areas
where the rich live and the other
in the areas where the poor live.
The task force concluded that
racism was the underlying
Causative factor that created this
inequality.
Students in the affluent and
rich areas were predominantly
white, and students from the poor
areas were predominantly Afro-
American and Latin-American.
The task force said that the
first-tier or rich schools held.
ohigh expectations for their stu-
dents but at the second-tier or
poor schools, low expectations
and aspirations are communicated
to these students, who are not
given a full opportunity to suc-
utionalized racism
perpetuating segregated schools;
and in some schools, the tracking
of minority students into less rig-
orous academic programs without
regard for individual abilities,
interests and potential."

ceed."
The report further found "our
society's acceptance of two
unequal educational systems is
putting us at risk of creating a
permanent underclass in New
York and the nation."
Racial and ethnic communi-
ties across the nation in particular
should become aware of this
shocking report.
It appears that there are delib-
erate decisions being made by
school administrators to structure
racial and ethnic students to fail-
ure.
The report explicitly revealed
that oracism is expressed in a
variety of ways: inadequate
resources to those most in need;
racism must be challenged by all
who believe in justice and equali-
ty.
The last eight years of the
Reagan administration have set
the stage for the gradual return to
the days of Jim Crow. While
there has been progress toward
eliminating some of the vestiges
of overt racism, the pervasive
nature of racism today demands
vigilance, determination and con-
stant social action to prevent a
march back into history. The
future will be determined by the
strength of our continued struggle
for racial justice,

utive director of the Commis-

SPIN gives 'cure' for AIDS
NEW YORK -- Every issue of
SPIN magazine since December
1987 has featured an editorial on
AIDS. In the current issue, SPIN
provides its youthful readers with a
condom -- a Trojan to be exact.
The magazine quotes Surgeon
General Koop on the prevention of
sexually-transmitted diseases
(STDs): oCondoms are the best pre-
ventive measure against AIDS,
besides not having sex and practic-
ing safe behavior.?
~Prevention for the young and
sexually active is particularly
important, Nearly one in 300 col-
lege students is infected wit the
AIDS virus as compared to four out
of every 1,000 prisoners. This new
finding means that young people
join homosexuals, drugs users and
hemophiliacs as a high risk group.
It also means that just about
every college campus has a case of
AIDS or HIV infection. "Safe" sex
and condoms for prevention is fine
is you're not infected with the AIDS
virus. This same issue of SPIN,
believe it or not, also has something .
for those in the latter group.
In an exceptional article on
AIDS by Katie Leishman, SPIN
(212/633-8200) provides its readers
with what could be a "cure" for
AIDS. Leishman reports on the
work and, more importantly, results
of a retired medical technologist,
72-year-old Salvatore Catapano.
Catapano, the author says,
"appears to have found the AIDS
treatment the world has been wait-
ing for..." And has obtained a patent
("One of only three American
patents ever granted for AIDS treat-
ments") which contains the state-
ment: "It has been found that a
complete immunization an remis-
sion of a person afflicted with
AIDS is really syphilis, which is
treatable, but not by any anti-viral
drug like AZT. Leishman reports a
"fascinating discovery.: After about
15 shots of the typhoid vaccine, a
number of AIDS patients who had
TONY BROWN
er eee
Syndicated Columnist
AIDS may be achieved by the
administration with typhoid vaccine
with no observed toxicity."
"The substance Catapano uses
an licenses other doctors to use to
treat AIDS patients is, simply,
typhoid vaccine,? Leishman writes
in SPIN.
After 15 years of research, Cat-
apano has come to the conclusion
that "the source of immune suppres-
sion in AIDS patients is not viral
but bacterial, The patients .., are
suffering from extraordinarily
entrenched late-staging
syphilis...Once the immune system
is restored with typhoid vaccine, he
says, a course of penicillin should
bring the patient into remission,"
the author claims.
Of 200 AIDS patients treated
by Catapano, only one has died, he
says, and his typhoid vaccine
should not be ocombined with
chemotherapy -- including AZT --
or radiation,"
Catapano is convinced that
tested negative for syphilis began to
manifest classic symptoms of the
disease...?
Then after being treated with
penicillin, othe syphilitic symptoms
clear up an the tests become nega-
tive,? she adds.
Another ofascinating? event is
reported in SPIN by Leishman:
After getting his penicillin shots, a
patient's AIDS test had become
negative. Of "75,000 reported cases
of AIDS to date in America, there
have been only three published
cases of patients becoming HIV
negative."
By publishing this information,
SPIN magazine has not only helped
prevent STDs, but it may save the
lives of some who are already sen-
tenced t death by AIDS.

Rangel, in saluting the choir,
said the choir has through the
years proved that Harlem is not
a ~~place of drugs, decay and
despair, but rather of hope, joy
and achievement.?
The Congressman praised the
Fortune 500 Pepsi-Cola Com-
pany for recognizing what he
termed the ~~vital importanceT
of the groupTs work, and for
helping to communicate it.
Dinkins said the choir stands
as a symbol of that which can be
achieved through opportunity,

cipline.
~At a time when media head-
lines decry gang and drug-re-
lated violence among our

Dinkins further said that as

Moorehead said the choir was
an outstanding example of the
Positive force that todayTs
youth can exhibit. ~~Not only
are they premier performing
artists in their own rights, but
role models to a whole gener-
ation of urban kids.?T
The group was founded in
1968 by Dr. Walter J. Turnbull
as the Ephesus Church Choir of
Central Harlem. Dr. Turnbull
has been the driving force be-
hind the choir's growth and suc-
cess over the past 20 years.
Dr. Turnbull said he was grate-
ful to the Pepsi-Cola Company
for helping to obroaden our ob-
j@ctives and make our dreams
reality.T He further said a key
purpose of the choir was to help
youngsters realize their creative
potential through performance.
Dr. Turnbull added that the
boys are introduced to a wide
variety of music from the strict-
ly classical repertoire of music
for boys voices to contem-
porary, gospel and spirituals.

A lesson from white Democrats
THERE is at least one very good reason why none of the
local Afro-American candidates for contested offices won Tues-
day's election. It's called voting a straight party ticket.
Afro-American voters had the opportunity to put another
Afro-American in the State Senate, Republican candidate Vernon
Robinson lost because not enough Afro-American voters gave
him support. Too many could not wean themselves from straight
party voting -- that blind Democratic Party loyalty that beats us
every time,
Robinson was only a few thousand votes shy of unseating
Democrat Ted Kaplan. His victory could have been handed to him
by people of his own color had they voted strategically.
County Commission candidate Mazié Woodruff and school
board candidate Naomi Jones both lost because of unsophisticated
Afro-American voting.
- " By voting for every Democrat on the ticket, Afro-Americans
gave their surplus votes to white candidates who already had the
support of the majority white votes. Thus Afro-American voters
gave white candidates, in many instances, the extra power to
defeat Afro-American candidates.
It is extremely difficult to understand why Afro-American
voters believe that they must be loyal to the Democratic Party at
all cost. We, asa people, can't seem to grasp the concept of voting
for the Person and not the Party.
We should take a lesson from white Democrats. They vote
Republican when the mood suits them. In fact, this past Tuesday
i social s
THE 99 VOICE-THURSDAY, NOVEMBER. 474VEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1988-9
"many white Democrats voted for Republican candidates.
Anyone who doubts this need only to consider the fact that
Democrats in the city outnumber Republicans by more than two
to one. Add to that the voters in the county and the figure
becomes 89,226 registered Democrats and 50,168 Republicans.
So if Afro-Americans aren't voting for Republicans, obviously
white Democrats are. How else can one explain the Republican
landslides on the Board of County Commissioners, the Board of
Education and in the State House? |
If Afro-American Democrats need further evidence that no
one is loyal to their party but them, they should look closely at the
retums from some of the predominantly white and Democratic
~precincts. ;
- Let's look, for instance, at one of the Southwest precincts,
Miller Park Recreation Center. There are 1,004 registered
Democrats at that precinct and only 531 registered Republicans --
a more than two to one ratio. There are only 20 Afro-American
voters in that precinct.
Yet, Miller Park voted overwhelming for Republican candi-
dates. Woodruff came in next to last in that precinct, getting only
three votes more than David Drummond. That precinct also went
for the Republican incumbents on the school board.
At the Philo Middle School precinct in the South Ward, there
are 790 registered Democrats and 464 registered Republicans.
Only 52 of its voters are Afro-American. Yet, again, Philo went
Republican. Both Woodruff and Jones came in last in their respec-
tive races in that precinct.
Whitaker Elementary School precinct in the West Ward offers
the most definitive example. The precinct has 927 registered
Democrats and only 762 registered Republicans.
' Yet, Republican presidential candidate George Bush got 954
votes and Republican gubematorial candidate Jim Martin received
983 votes. The precinct also supported Republican candidates
yver Democratic candidates for the County Commissioners and
the Board of Education.
: If nothing else, this election has, hopefully, shown Afro-
American voters the folly of voting for political parties over polit-
ical candidates. Nothing matters other than the individual candi-
date for office.
It takes a little more time to vote for individuals rather than
parties, but it's the way smart voters vote to assure that the people
they want in office get in office no matter what their political
affiliation.

The best-dressed women this

how to mix and wear their clothes
with taste, elegance and style.
These are a few ideas that you

basic point in
planning your

clothes are

Try adding
a form fitting

The body suit will add
warmth. The camisole or the
