GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27834

THURSDAY JANUARY 7-13, 1988

Municipal response to
challenge; part Il

The only demonstration
organized and enacted by local
Negroes was ~o~The Christmas
SacrificeT in December, 1963.
This was first designed by the
Progressive CitizensT Council to
be a boycott of the downtown
businesses; but after much
debate in the Interracial Commit-
tee and the Progressive CitizensT
Council, the boycott idea was
amended to be a blackout of
Christmas tree lights because it
was strongly felt that a street
boycott would prove to be confus-
ing both to whites and Negroes.
The blackout was very suc-
cessful. By actual count, there
were only six Negro houses in
Greenville which burned
Christmas tree lights during the
holidays. This experience gave
the Negro a sense of unity that he
has generally lacked.

Many Negroes feel that the
absence of street demonstrations
has prevented the Negro from
participating in one of the sym-
bols of identity of his time. These
persons feel that there is a cer-
tain lack of fulfillment in the
whole civil rights movement for
the Negro in this community.

The Progressive CitizensT
Council has petitioned three
groups. The first of these was the
board of directors of the Green-
ville MerchantsT Association. The
borad asked that the Interracial
Committee have some one pre-
sent in order to answer questions.
The Negro board of directors
moved to have a resolution
published immediately.

The second petition was ad-
dressed to the City Council. The
Council met in a special session
to hear a group and went over the
petition point by point. Im-
mediately following this meeting,
the Council published a resolution
in the newspaper urging the peo-

ple of Greenville to treat all per-
sons without respect to color. The
Council also established the Good
Neighbor Council.

The third petition was address-
ed to the Greenville City School
Board. The Progressive CitizensT
Council met with this group to
discuss its proposal. All the points
outlined in the petition have not
been met, but the Negroes feel
that someone is working toward
these ends.

The Progressive CitizensT
CouncilTs petition to the Chamber
of Commerce and MerchantsT
Association of Greenville was
dated May 7, 1963, and read as
follows: We, the members of the
Progressive CitizensT Council of
the City of Greenville, hereby
petition the MerchantsT Associa-
tion and Chamber of Commerce
of Greenville, North Carolina, the
following recommendations:

(1) To recommend to the mer-
chants of the City of Greenville to
abolish all racial discrimination
in policies on the basis of race
and color in respect to all the
facilities that are available to all
other citizens.

(2) To encourage the hiring of
qualified Negroes as employees
in all facets of public businesses
in order to properly serve the
public.

(3) That promotion be made on
the basis of knowledge, educa-
tion, efficiency, and ability to
produce.

(4) That a committee from this
Council be given a conference for
detailed discussion of these mat-
ters of interest to the progressive
society for the benefit of all
citizens.

Gov. Martin announces emergency
shelter grants program awards

The homeless in North
Carolina today came one step
closer to shelter as Governor Jim
Martin announced Emergency
Shelter Grants Program awards
for 43 local governments, in-
cluding the City of Greenville.

The awards, totaling $772,339,
will be used to assist local
governments in meeting the
needs of homeless persons. The
award for Greenville consists of
$24,567 for the Greenville Com-
munity Shelter and $4,077 for the
Pitt County Family Violence
Program.

The Department of Natural
Resources and Community
Development, through the Divi-
sion of Community Assistance
(DCA), will administer the
awards. Official notification will
take place in the form of a letter
from Governor Martin to each

local governmentTs Mayor or
Commision Chairperson. Actual
funds will be available to the local
governments shorlty thereafter.

The ESGP is a result of the
Stewart B. McKinney Homeless
Act of 1987. North Carolina was
allocated $766,000 (plus $6,339 is
unused funds returned from the
previous program), and the max-
imum grant request per
homeless shelter was $75,000.

- DCA received applications total-

ing $1.66 million in requested
funds. The applications were
reviewed and ranked on a
minimum eligibility basis, which
included criteria for feasibility,
benefit to the homeless, and
quality of the specific project pro-
posed. All fifty-nine applications
received were funded on a pro-
rata based on the amount
originally requested.

Listen. to the-advice of
some mothers . . .

1.DonTt worry so much.

2. Find other mothers to talk to.

3. Scale down your goals and
expectations. You canTt do it
all"going to the cleaners, doing
the shopping, cleaning and cook-
ing three meals a day while tak-
ing care of the baby.

4. DonTt compare your baby
with anyone elseTs.

5. Give yourself a break. Every
once in a while, get someone to
watch the baby and take some
time for yourself. Get your hair
done. Exercise. Take a walk.
Then you wonTt be so tired.

6. Involve your husband early
on caring for the baby"changing
diapers, bathing, getting up for
the bottle.

7. Keep a journal of your childTs
progress.

8. Set limits. ItTs up to you to

know when to say ~o~no�T . . . other-
wise, your children will grow up
always expecting instant

gratification.

9. Remember you are in
charge. Children feel secure
when they know that Mommy
makes the rules.

10. Never do anything while your
child is asleep that you can do
while heTs awake. You can tidy up
the room or fold the clothes while
your child is playing.

11. Trust your instincts. Other
people donTt know whatTs right
for you and your child.

12. Teach your children good
habits at an early age. Put your
dirty clothes in the hamper. If
you donTt teach them now, you'll
regret it later.

When we are all equal,
we can Cease to fight

By Chrystal C. Fray

The Black Middle Class is
heralded as a group of people who
have worked hard to compile a
list of achievements: education,
financial and social status, com-
mmunity and political involve-
ment. They have a lot to be pro-
ud of. They have overcome the
obstacles of racial and social pre-
judice and firmly implanted
themselves in the mainstream of
middle America.

The majority of Black
Americans, however, have been
left behind as their more fur-
tunate brothers and sisters climb
the ladders of success.

Hypocrisy and prejudice
abound. As a group, blacks cry
out in anger against racial pre-
judice and injustice, yet we ig-
nore the injustice millions of poor
black Americans experience
evberyday.

Remember the times when

hites believed that blacks were

gnorant, filfthy, lazy beings by
nature and therefore did not
deserve the same rights as

themselves? This is similar to the
attitude that poor blacks are poor
by choice, that we should
separate ourselves from them
and all they represent. We
stereotype our poor black
gootfororthiag, weitere seek

or- , SeeK-
ing, tasteless human beings. We
ie pose chemo that
were a le for us: college,

technical





mosphere breeds despair, bit-
terness, and a_ sense of
hopelessness that the child may
carry into adulthood. Day to day
survival takes precedence over
plans for the future. Role models
and guidance are often absent.

Compare this to a child raised
in a middle to upper class en-
vironment. Granted, substance
abuse, violence and crime may
still exist, but not on the same
scale. Financial stability and
positive adult role models can
give the child a better outlook on
life and encourage his aspirations
for the future.

The battle for freedom and
equality was fought by all Blacks,
rich and poor. Now is not the time
to segment ourselves into ~~weTT
and ~~them�T. As we create new in-
terracial communities filled with
the upwardly mobile, letTs. not
forget the ones who should be
moving with us.

LetTs not forget the initial
reasons for the civil rights move-
ment: to improve the conditions
for ALL Black people in America,
not to allow a few to grab a piece
of the American dream.

As a celebration of the birth of
the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
draws near, we'll applaud
ourselves for our achievements.
Butthe fulfillment of his dreams
will never be if we abandon the
fight to improve conditions for
ALL our brothers and sisters.

TEXT OF THE EMANCIPA-
TION PROCLAMATION

Whereas, on the twenty-second
day of September, in the year of
our Lord one thousand eight hun-
dred and sixty-two, a proclama-
tion was issued by the President
of the United States, containing,
among other things, the follow-
ing, to wit:

That on the first day of
January, in the year of our Lord
one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-three, all persons held as
slaves within any State, or
designated part of a State, the
people whereof shall then be in
rebellion against the United
States, shall be then, thencefor-
ward, and forever free; and the
Executive Government of the
United States, including the
military and naval authority
thereof, will recognize and main-
tain the freedom of such persons,
and will do no act or acts to
repress such persons, or any of
them, in any efforts they may
make for their actual freedom.

That the Executive will, on the
first day of January aforesaid, by
proclamation, designate the
States and parts of the States, if
any, in which the people thereof
respectively shall then be in
rebellion against the United
States; and the fact that any
State, or the people thereof, shall
on that day be in good faith
represented in the Congress of
the United States by members
chosen thereto at elections
wherein a majority of the
qualified voters of such State
shall Have participated, shall in
the absencé of strong counter-
vailing testimony be deemed con-
clusive evidence that such State
and the people thereof are not in
rebellion against the United
States.

Now, thereof, I, Abraham Lin-
coln, President of the United
States, by virtue of the power in
me vested as Commander-in-
Chief of the Army and Navy of
the United States, intime of ac-
tual armed rebellion against the
authority and governemnt of the
United States, and as a fit and
necessary war measure for sup-
pressing said rebellion; do on this
first day of January, in the year
of our Lord one thousand eight
hundred and sixyt-three, and in
accordance with my purpose so
to do, publicly proclaimed for the
full period of 100 days from the
day first above mentioned, order
and designate as the States and
parts of States wherein the peo-
ple thereof, respectively, are this
day in rebellion against the
United States, the following, to

wit:

Arkansas, Texas, Louisiana
(except the parishes of St. Ber-
nard, Plaquemines, Jefferson, St.
John, St. Charles, St. James,
Ascension, Assumption, Terre
Bonne, Lafourche, St. Mary, St.
Martin, and Orleans, including
the city of New Orleans),
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida,
Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina, and Virginia, (except
the forty-eight counties
designated as West Virginia, and
also the counties of Berkeley, Ac-
comac, Northampton, Elizabeth
City, York, Princess Anne, and
Norfolk, including the cities of
Norfolk and Portsmouth), and
which expected parts are for the
present left precisely as if this
proclamation were not issued.

And by virtue of the power and
for the purpose aforesaid, I do
order and declare that all persons
held as slaves within said
designated States and parts of
States are, and henceforward
shall be, free; and that the Ex-
ecutive Government of the
United States, including the
military and naval authorities
thereof, shall recognize and
maintain the freedom of said
persons.

And I hereby enjoin upon the
people so declared to be free to
abstain from all violence, unless
in necessary self-defense; and I
recommend to them that, in all
cases where allowed, they labor
faithfully for reasonable wages.

And I further declare and make
known that such persons of
suitable condition will be recéiy-
ed into the armed service of the
United States to garrison forts,
positions, stations, and other
places, and to man vessels of all
sorts in said service.

And upon this act, sincerely
beleived to be an act of justice,
warranted by the Constitution
upon military necessity, I invoke
the considerate judgment of
mankind and the gracious favor
of Almighty God.

In witness whereof, I have
hereunto set my hand and caus-
ed the seal of the United States to
be affixed.

Done at the city of Washington,
the first day of January, in the
year of our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and sixty-three,
and of independence of the United

States of America the
eighty-seventh.

should only give that student a

not spanking or paddling them.
Also, is you ask me, some
teachers are risking their jobs by
doing this because if a teacher
were to spank a child and have a
so-called witness, the child could
always lie; the witness could
always lie about it; somebody
could change the story around.

Racism

BY MODUPE-ROUSE

Hello, my name is Modupe
Rouse and I am 12 years old. I
want to talk to you, Black
Americans, about racism. ItTs
really been hard for Blacks in
this world today. One reason for
this is because of White people;
the things they do to us.
Everytime we start something,
they always try to pull us down.

EXAMPLE

Just the other day I was at the
store and this man acted like he
didnTt want to touch my hand
because I was Black. That really
bothered me.

Sometimes when I am in school
kids act the same way, but, I
donTt really worry about them
because I could fight them in a se-
cond. Some of the things that
White people call us is o~NegroTT.
Where do they get that word
from? I donTt have the slightest
idea. Well, thank you for reading
my story.

: with self-doubt make it unlikely

; agirl will say no to sex with a boy
, .who-shows her some attention. _

The best place for self-esteem
and healthy attitudes towards sex
to be taught is at home. ItTs easier
to withstand the pressures when
you have parental support, but
teens often arenTt getting it. If
you feel this is the case in your
family, donTt give up. Your
parents probably find talking to

you about sex isT one of the

hardest things they have ever
tried to do. You can make is
easier for them. Try to talk to
them about your feelings and ask
for their support.

The price people and especial-
ly young people are paying for
the irresponsible use of sex is ap-
palling. Some on million teenage
girls in the United States become

premarital sex as
of life these days. Supposedly
~responsible adults often say,
oEverybody's doing it, What does
it hurt, really? We just need to
teach kids how to avoid pregnan-
cy and sexual diseases.TT
Somehow, though, such teaching
doesn't seem to be having much
effect with sexually active
teenagers, many of whom lack
self-esteem.

One of mankindTs age-old
shortcomings is that we donTt
look at the result of our actions.
What is the result of premarital
sex? How does it affect oneTs
future? How does it affect a
future marriage? How does it af-
fect personal relationships? How
does it affect oneTs children?

-. Why should people have to find
out the hard way, through
debilitating STDTs (sexually
transmissible diseases), the
shock of pregnancy, marriage -
wrecking sexual delusions, emo-
tional scars and wasted lives,
that premarital and extramarital
sex and homosexual activity
have serious consequences?

The o~just say no to sex� con-
cept has been ridiculed as
simplistic by some who apparent-
ly reason that premarital sex is
not in itself wrong. Anyone would
admit the above consequences
are bad, but the cause of those
consequences, premarital sex for
example, is often considered ac-
ceptable, even something to be
expected. o~Look theyTre g: ing to
do it anyway, so letTs at least
teach them how to avoid
pregnancyTT, the argument goes.
We should ask ourselves, WHY
are people ~~going to do it
anywayTT?

A GOOD FRIEND IS...

Friendships are precious.
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said,
oA friend may well be reckoned
the masterpiece of nature.TT But
being a good friend doesnTt just
happen. It takes some thought
and work. It takes these:
1. A good friend is supportive.
This means through bad times
and good. Believe it or not,
sometimes itTs easier to be sup-
portive when something bad has
happened to your friend. When
something good happens, envy
and jealousy can crop up. Suppor-
ting your friends also means ac-
Cepting them for what and who
they are. They donTt have to feel

3. A good friend knows how to
share. Sharing means giving of
yourself and accepting what
others share with you. Shared in-
terests often bring good friends
together in the first place. Shared
values often keep them together.
It is a joy to find someone who
thinks like you do, but to discover
that, you must share your
thoughts with another.
4. A good friend is trustworthy.
The ability to keep confidences
was the most important aspect of
friendship is a survey I read.
Trust also means that you know
your friend wouldnTt encourage
you to do something wrong. Are
you a good friend, a ~~master-
pieceT? Tell your friends just
how important they are, really.
