Creating a common ground for Blacks
By Nandel Palmer
In the 1920 Ts, ~30 Ts and ~40's,
they sailed from Jamaica,
Trinidad, Barbados, Antigua and
other Caribbean islands and
flocked to Harlem where they met
with their American siblings, who
had earlier come from Alabama,
Georgia, South Carolina and other
places throughout the South.
They worked as laborers, cooks,
boatswains, seamstresses, maids,
etc., so as to afford their progeny
a better way of life. And even
though their relationships were
not always amicable during that
era, their cross-cultures have
formed a bridge and paved the
way to a more wholesome coex-
istence today.
Harlem can no longer boast a
preponderance ofislanders today,
as in every nook and cranny of
New York City there Ts bound to be
someone from the Caribbean.
Not intent on being separated, a
group of 20 people came together
last August in Huntington, Long
Island, to form an organization
that would create a common
ground for Caribbean and African-
Americans. The Caribbean, Afri-
can-American Olive Branch Inc.

The group Ts purpose is toinform

The Justice Spectrum - Mark C. Olds
Understanding Justice:
A. Understanding justice so
few do! Most choose to preserve
status quo symbolism; disre-
garding the Word of God which
says, oThere is no wisdom and no
understanding - And no counsel
against the Lord. The horse is
prepared for the, ~day of battle,
But victory belongs to the Lord. ?
[Proverbs 21:30,31 NASB]
B. Understanding justice the
majority most often misunder-
stand the strength derived from
the humble administration of
justice. The ruling minority be it
South Africa or a county in South
Carolina - fear the strength of
equity in the empowerment of
the disenfranchised through
justice. oThe execution of justice
is joy for the righteous, But is
terror tothe workers of iniquity. ?
[Proverbs 21:15 NASB] The one
- who practices injustice is terri-
fied by the one voice in the wil-
derness, shouting to clear the
way for the Lord God: the Living
God Who loves justice!
Justice begats freedom. Free-
evens ieiane
dom matured is equality. Equal-
ity matured is total liberation.
True liberation can only come to
an individual ora nation through
Christ Jesus and His shed Blood.
Praise Him!
C. Understanding justice rev-
elation knowledge shines light
on injustices. In order for true
liberation (God Ts order in all
phases of life, creation) to flow,
injustices must be exposed and
dealt with at the core. King
Solomon penned, oA wise man
scales the city of the mighty, And
brings down the stronghold in
which they trust. ? [proverbs
21:22 NASB]
The Word of God equips us to
defeat the strongholds and seats
of power. The transformation
power of Christ, the Living Word,
enables the weak to become
strong, the disenfranchised to
rise to power. ?...God has chosen
the foolish things of the world to
shame the wise, and God has
chosen the weak things of the
world to shame the things which
are strong, and the base things
of the world and the despised,
God has chosen, the things that
are not, that He might nullify
the things that are. ? [1
Corinthians 1:27,28 NASB]
D. Understanding justice indi-
viduals are empowered to tear
down the strongholds which
blind the multitudes. The spirit
of justice breathes boldness to
fight against seemingly insur-
mountable odds. oFor though we
walk in the flesh, we do not war
according to the flesh, for the
weapons of our warfare are not
of the flesh, but divinely power-
ful for the destruction of for-
tresses. We are destroying
speculations and every lofty
thing raised up against the
knowledge of God, and we are
taking every thought captive to
the obedience of Christ. ? [2
Corinthians 10:3-5 NASB]
E. Understanding justice - the
real enemy is identified. oFor we
are not wrestling with flesh and
blood - contending only with
physical opponents - but against
the despotisms, against the pow-

Some excerpts from Opray
Winfrey - women are naturally
romantic; whatever you don Tt use,
you lose; a woman needs emotional
fulfillment to respond to a man
sexually and men need sex to re-
spond to a woman emotionally;
romance and commitment are so
important in a marriage; create
memories in your marriage, tell
him or her you love him or her
often; I can Tt get him away from
the TV; thus my fire is gone; when
is the last time you have has a
good, long kiss couples; ten seconds
ofkissing, hugging, love your mate
for who they are; tell him or her
oI'm glad we're together, I Tm glad
you are my wife/husband. ?; so
something for your mate that
makes himor her special; and turn
off the TV and talk; she wants to
see him dressed sexy for bed as she
is, some boxy, sexy short, not a
jogging suit; you are soentrenched
_ withmom and dad; you let husband
and wife to, you mate is always
first T feed each other sometimes
with your hands; comb his hair;
play his tune he sand in your ear
the night of the wedding reception;
keep romance in your marriage,
regardless of how many years
you've been married.
oWe make our habits, but before
long, our habits make us ?. The
Daily Simple Habits of our Heav-
enly Father:
- Go to church regularly.
- Read the Bible every day to
memorize at least one verse. Say
aloud your favorite verse. Make a
scrapbook of Bible verses on love,
faith, forgiveness, honesty and sin.
- Pray. Prayer is a genuine, ac-
tive partnership with God. The
whole world looks to religion to
guide the way in the solution of its
problems. There Ts a meditation or
prayer room for members of Con-
gress. the words ounder God ? were
officially inserted in the pledge of
allegiance to the American flag.
Football games and bathing beauty
contests have recently been opened
with prayer. Six out of ten people
living in the country are members
of churches.
- Go about doing good, fore the
Christian of Christ-like virtues or
standards of right living are love,
joy, peace, gentleness, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
and self-control. Whereas their
opposites of the Devil Ts standards
are hatred, hostility, strife, conflict,
fussing and fighting, jealousy,
anger, selfishness and envy. These
will destroy you, the Sunday
school, the Daily Vacation Bible
School or even your home.
Shall we make our motto the
testimony of Joshua - the follower
of Moses, the lawgiver - oas for me
and my house, we will serve the
Lord ?.
When the plain truthis told, any
teenager today would admit he or
she is curious about sex. There is
an urgency, as pressure, that tells
us we can Tt wait. A guy's ego tells
him he is not a man unless he has
sex. A girl may be labeled as oin-
experienced ? until she has sex.
Sex is portrayed on television as
a magical, mysterious and ro-
mantic experience in a way that
makes us want that intimacy for
ourselves. Songs stir up our emo-
tions.
We're warned time and time
again about the consequences of
premarital sex. We hear about the

very normal and also very real.
Love is real. The problem lies in
how these couples show their love
to each other.
These teenagers are at a point in
life where emotions are constantly
spinning like a whirlwind. They
are afraid they'll miss out on
something.
There are plenty ways to tell
someone you love him or her be-
sides touching. Of all the millions
of Snoopy cards, Garfield cards,
and all the others, there has to be
one that says just what you want
to say. Flowers and balloons can
express your appreciation. Even
letters or just talking makes a re-
lationship between two people
stronger and keeps it fresh.
And although we still face
temptations as Christians, the
victory can be ours. oNo temptation
has seized you except what: is
common to man ?, And God is
faithful; he will not let you be
tempted beyond what youcan bear.
But when you are tempted, he will
also provide a way out so that you
can stand up under it ? (I Corn.
10:13),
The 5 C Ts: The basis of every
happy and successful marriage are
communication, cooperation, con-
sideration, compromise and caring.

pendence, The situation is tensified
when he told a teammate he was
exhausted from the NBA grind
and the teammate offered him
cocaine. :
As a result of his drug problems,
Thompson lost income in excess of
$1 million a year. The IRS seized
most of his material wealth, in-
cluding a mansion in Denver and
several luxury cars. He was sepa-
rated from his family and was
imprisoned for five months in Se-
attle.
He tells his story in hopes of
influencing kids to stay in school,
stay off drugs and strive for posi-
tive goals.
The enemy in the Black com-
munity is the legions of despair,
poverty, racial discrimination, il-
literacy, family breakdown, un-
employment, welfare, dependency,
crime, drug abuse, teenage preg-
nancy, and disturbing health pic-
ture for many who are dying young
because of diet.
In commemoration of Older
American Month (MAY), the Board
of Christian Education of Sy-
camore Hill Baptist Church, en-
tertained ~the Seniors, along with
other parishioners and friends, at
Western Sizzlin T on Teenth Street
with a dinner. Approximately 75
people were in attendance. The
pastor, Reverend Howard Parker
videoed this event. Mrs, Mildred
Williams spearheaded this lovely
activity.
tion, a committee of prominent
American Blacks and Jews today
announced an oseed
grant ? for general relief there and
for Ethiopian Jews in Israel.
The Committee of Blacks and
Jews to Aid Ethiopia, based in
Washington, had quietly made
available $45,000 for these pur-
poses last year. It said today the
money was immediately being
more than doubled, to $100,000.
Funding for the committee has
been allocated by the Marjorie
Kovler Fund of Chicago and
Washington. It is believed to be
the first direct grant for Ethiopian
famine relief by an American fam-
ily foundation.
The Jewish-Black Committee -
one of a dwindling number of coop-
erative efforts between the two
ethnic groups since a philosophic
splitin the 1960s - consists of about
25 well-known figures, including
several members of Congress.
The honorary co-chairmen are
two very disparate political lead-
ers, Anglican Archbishop Desmond
Tutu of South Africa and Israeli
Knesset (parliament) member
Michael Kleiner, a leader of the
rightest Likud Party.
Earlier this week, at a meeting
preceding the grant announcement
at a news conference on Capitol
Hill, the committee discussed ways
in which the acknowledgedly mod-
est grant might encourage other
families and individuals to follow
suit, said its co-chairman, Rep.
Mike Espy (D-MS) and Peter B.
Kovier.
oIt Ts a start, a small seed of con-
cern for what we cage hn be a
assroots campaign of compas-
Sones Americans of all colors and
faiths for the victims of the poten-
tially worst famine of this cen-
, ? said Espy, who is black. He
added: oOur hope is that other
individuals and families, in the
best tradition of America, will sow
their own personal seeds of com-
passion and not just leave the re-
lief to governments or big organi-
zations. ?
Kovler, who is Jewish, said the
prospect of six million deaths in
Ethiopia ought to hold particular
resonance for Jews because of the
destruction of alike number - about
a third of the world Ts Jewish popu-
lation. _ in the Nazi Holocaust of
World War II.
oWhile there is no comparing
deliberate genocide with death by
famine, we Jews should have a
special sensitivity to the enormity
of what is confronting the Ethiopi-
ans, ? Kovler said.
Moreover, he said, Jews have an
ohistorickinship ? with Ethiopians.
The Bible says Moses made an
Ethiopian (Cushite) woman his
second wife and recounts the love
between the Israelite prophet
Solomon and the Cushite Queen of
Sheba.
Jews have lived in Ethiopia for
thousands of years. In recent years,
because of the political turmoil
and deteriorating economy in
Ethiopia, most of the Jews there
have migrated to Israel. But sev-
eral thousand remain, caught in
the crossfire of the Ethiopian civil
war,
Make those shoes come alive again at the...

Elbert Sumrell, Bus Driver, Ran
Trolley Cars Earlier
by Michele Salcedo
For 23 yearsm Elbert Thomas
Sumrell of Hempstead helped keep
New Yorkers on the move, first as
a trolley car operator for the New
York City Transit Department and
later as a bus driver.
It took recurring bouts of pneu-
monia over the past two years to
slow and finally stop Mr. Sumrell.
He died in Syosset Community
Hospital at the age of 68.
Even after his retirement in
1972, Mr. Sumrell bough a bus to
take children who had no other
means of transportation to Sunday
school at the Antioch Baptist
Church in Hempstead. He and his
wife had seen buses owned by a
Baptist church in Tennessee.
Within a year it grew into a
commercial venture, the Sumrell
Bus Service, with a fleet of five
buses.
oHe was a people person, ? said
Ennis Sumrell, his wife of 22 years.
oIn the 23 years he worked with
the transit Authority, he met some
very loving anc understanding
people. He just wanted to carry on
that contact and it (the bus service)
gave him an opportunity to keep
meeting people on the same basis. ?

South African
mineworkers want
their voices heard
South Africa Ts opowerful trade
union movement has launched a
campaign toensure that organized
workers have a say when it comes
to recognizing stricken sectors of
the country Ts economy.
The strong National Union of
Mineworkers, the biggest Black
union in the country, has agreed
with mine owners to organize a
tripartite conference in which
employers, organized labor and the
government will discuss the future
of the stricken mining industry.
That meeting could set a prece-
dent for worker participation in
decisions about how to restructure
key sectors of South Africa Ts
economy.
A number of other COASTU
unions have indicated they will
fight to ensure that workers, gen-
erally considered to be unskilled,
will have the right to participate
in decisions about how a post-
apartheid economy can be reorga-
nized.

15 Year Milestone
Bankers Educational Society, Inc. (BESI), a non-profit organization composed of bankers across the state
of North Carolina, celebrated it Ts fifteenth Annual Convention on April 25 through 28, at the Virginia Beach
Resort Hotel.
The organization was formed in 1976 by a small group of African American bankers who began coming
together regularly as a means of sharing information, encouragement, support, and awareness with others
within their profession. It Ts primary objective is to educate it Ts membership to the challenging facets of the
banking industry, was well as develop community projects which are designed to expose the general public
to various areas of banking. the Eastern Region Ts most recent program was a Career Preparation and
Enhancement Seminar for high school students in Whiteville, North Carolina. At the convention, A. Ray
Rodgers. Vice President. New East Bank of Greenville, was elected State President for a two year term and
Michael Dixon, Banking Officer, Wachovia Bank and Trust, was elected to the Board of Directors. The
convention theme was oCreating Strategies For Change ?. The banquet Ts feature speaker was the Honorable
Charles B. Whitehurst, Sr., City Treasurer, Portsmouth, Virginia. Dr. Jimmy R. Jenkins, Chancellor,
Blizabeth City State University, was also on the program.
Anyone interest in BESI making a presentation to their club or organization is encouraged to contact

emerging trend in the labor
mo\ ement, which argues for a shift
from the politics of resistance to
the politics of reconstruction.
Included in demands raised by
the union during its wage talks is
a statement that business and
government have conclusively
shown themselves to be incompe-
tent in directing the economy. It
said this attitude has resulted in
the present economic crisis.
Workers and their unions should
therefore have a say in economic
and industrial strategy at all lev-
els.
The union envisages an economic
compact with a future government
in which independent trade unions
will have pivotal roles in negoti-
ating state-initiated policies on
economic development, planning
and the direction of investment.
All eyes are now on the mining
industry to see if these ideas can
reach some kind of fruition.
This week, in response to re-
peated union calls for an industry
conference, a heavyweight team
from the employers T body, the
Chamber of Mines, met the union
and indicated it favored the idea.
Agreement has been reached in
principle within the industry to
support a meeting of parties that
will explore the long-term viabil-
ity of. the mining. industry; a
chamber representative told IPS
on today.
oWe are currently engaged in
discussions with various parties
who are interested in such a
gathering, ? he said.

BABY FACE
Thinking of Malcolm, T91
We pause this week to celebrate
the 66th birthday of one of the
great figures. Black leaders, and
progressive activists of the century,
known the world over as Malcolm
X. I recall first hearing of Malcolm
when I was 10 years old, as a boy
preacher attending elementary
school in a Black middle class
neighborhood in Queens, New York.
It was scrawled all across the front
pages, and was the subject of our
current events conversation that
Malcolm X had been killéd at the
Audubon Ballroom in Harlem.
He was described variously
throughout the mainstream media
as a hate teacher, as a Black mili-
tant. And the implication was that
he got what he deserved. Yet some-
thing of the mystique of him in-
trigued me even at that young age,
and several months later the first
book that I seriously studied ended
up being the Autobiography of
Malcolm X as told through Alex
Haley.
Malcolm Ts autobiography tre-
mendously affected me and led me
into my boyhood adulation of Adam
Clayton Powell and Marcus Garvey,
Powell being one of the few Chris-
tian clergymen whom Malcolm ad-
mired and Malcolm Ts father being a
follower of the honorable Marcus
Aurelius Garvey.
As I've ~in the movement
I Tve never lost T my affection and
respect and admiration for
Malcolm. I have met with and
shared conversations both with
those critical of him and those who
praised him, those who knew him
very well and have talked to his
apparent strengths and alleged
weaknesses, Still, knowing that no
man is perfect and knowing that no
man should be required to repre-
sent perfection, 1 maintained a
deep-seated respect and admira-
tion for our Shining Black Prince.
The historical Malcolm is impor-
tant in several areas, and as we
gather this weekend in Harlem for
official observances, concluding
with a mass parade led by his
widow, I must deal with what the
historical Malcolm will mean, more
importantly than the particular
pros and cons of the personal
Malcolm to whom people will al-
ways try to reduce great debates.
One, Malcolm was the chief pro-
ponent of the Nation of Islam and
the Honorable Elijah Muhammad.
He became a central figure in what
became and remains a growing
theo-philosophical thrust in which
Elijah Muhammad helped uplift
the Black man Ts thinking and
lifestyle from urban decadence back
to its original form of cleanliness,
productively and aspiring to noth-
ing short of freedom, justice and
equality.
Unlike his contemporaries, i.e.,
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., James
Farmer, A. Philip Randolph and
others. Malcolm came the way of
the northern ghetto/street life/
prison life rather than the South-
ern church/mainstream college/
seeking to be accredited by society
background of the aforementioned
leaders of his day. Therefore,
Malcolm Ts orientation, projection
and ability to communicate were
far different from those who com-
peted with him for the minds of his
people. Malcolm in many ways was
the first to legitimize the street
Black Ts rise to an accredited, re-
spectéd world figure. In reality
Malcolm did for the smart, creative
Black who became trapped in street
life what Dr. King did for the aca-
demic institutions. he freed them
and gave them a credible option

and respect from the community at
large.
Secondly, Malcolm was a pioneer
in internationalizing the struggle
of his people and lifting to a world-
wide human rights debate. It was
Malcolm in his last years who tire-
lessly went through Asia, Africa
and Europe, hooking the battle of
Africans all over the world, and
identifying with the battle of Afri-
can Americans with the struggle of
Africans all over the world, and
identifying with the battle against
colonialism on the mother conti-
nent and the progressive struggles
in Europe. So in many ways
Malcolm was the visionary who
continued the Pan Africanist thrust
of Garvey and _ others,
contemporizing and making it live
andbreathein his own times, which
has led with direct impact to the
transcontinental. vision that his
now shared by many of African
descent.
Thirdly, Malcolm preached the
philosophy of self-sufficiency, in-
dependence and self-empower-
ment. It has become the theme of
his people, while in his own time he
was castigated, criticized and os-
tracized for not joining the integra-
tion movement. History will prove
that in the long run it was this self-
empowerment " communities
having their own integrity and
having their own power to develop
as separate entities and develop
agendas from power bases that were
separate and self-sufficient "
which ended up being the rule of
the day rather than the extreme,
isolated position that it was pro-
jected to be in the early 60s.
As we say oHappy Birthday ? to
Malcolm, he has already been vin-
dicated by history, because no ad-
jective attached to him reduced his
stature. Children walk around 26
years after his assassination with
his picture on their lapels and on
their medallions and on their t-
shirts, showing that he has out-
lived all of his critics, and all of
their oeffectiveness. ? Major motion
picture studios prepare to tell his
life story; bookstores are jammed
with books of his speeches and life
stories and interpretations. So
though he suffered in life, he was
vindicated in history because he
had the courage to say something
that lived longer than his longings,
longer than his heart, longer than
his physical being. He stood for the
rights of human beings that will be
relevant as long as there are hu-
man beings.
Why was Malcolm important? It
was important for someone to step
out of the choir of subjugation, of
assimilation, of being co-opted, and
to speak independently of behalf of
the rights of human beings to rise
up and live to their fullest degree
creative and self-empowered lives.
Malcolm had the nerve to be at-
tacked by the moderates as an ex-
tremist and to be attacked by the
| extremists as a moderate, and still
keep his eye on the prize of haman
ts and human dignity.

The Eye of
Because of strong anti-black
ittitudes in America and because
of the capitalistic structure of
economics in the society, African-
American women (and Afrian-
American ) have been the
economic base upon which many
other groups develop sound
economies for themselves. This has
especially been the case for immi-
grant groups that have come to
America, initially opened busi-
nesses in the black community,
and then moved beyond the black
Sout SN to be integrated, as a
roup, into the mainline American
nomy.
oMany Jewish, Italian, and Irish
immigrant groups followed this
pattern of economic development
in the United States. Because black
people, since slavery, were identi-
fie das the economic foundation
upon which others in the society

The "M" Voice
were to build, black people as a
group have lagged behind in eco-
nomic development. A few indi-
vidual African-American women. -
and men have managed to amass
the financial resources to provide
a positive and productive quality
of life for themselves and their
families " to get jobs or obtain the
financial backing from banks or
businesses that are denied to the r
masses of black people.
It is no overstatement to claim
that the most segregated and ra-
cially discriminatory area of
American life is the economic sector
- including in that sector the
unemployment, business, and fi-
nancial veins controlling the flow
of society Ts wealth. True enough, a
few black women and men have
been integrated into this flow. But
every, very few are in the high-
level decision-making areas that
determine the route of the flow of
wealth.
Black people, as a whole, are
still largely confined to the em-
ployment area at very low levels.
That is, they mostly work for
someone else and are paid the
lowest wage possible for some
hardest, most oback-breaking ?
work. Inasmuch as technology has
eaten upsomany menial jobs, large
numbers of black men and women
are without employment.
So, it is more than ludicrous to
use the term ointegration ? when
referring to black women Ts and
black men Ts relation to economic
life and resources in America. It is
just as absurd to suggest that great
differences exist between black
women Ts and black men Ts experi-
encesintheemployment, business,
and financial sectors of American
life, even though black women Ts
advancement in all areas is af-
fected by sexism.
