Eva M. Clavton was honored as

Women Ts Campaign, an organiza-

oEva Clayton represents one of
our best prospects for increasing
the number of Women Members of
Congress, and we Tre proud to sup-

Director Jan Danowitz.

Clayton was honored in our
nation Ts capitol, the day after she
announced her candidacy for Rep
resentative from North Carolina Ts
First Congressional District. That

major cities in the newly-created
district, and drew enthusiastic
support from Elizabeth City to
Henderson

Twenty-nine other women from
across the nation shared the spot

Washington affair. They were con
gressional, mayorial, and guber
natorial candidates which WCF
sees as talented and energetic pub
lic servants

is an average child, very energetic
and curious. He loves to go to school
at this point.

Some time ago I began to get
Disciplinary Referrals from
Robert Ts school. I did not keep them
because they were so silly, I could
not believe some of them, that a
teacher would take time to sit down
and go through the process of a
Disciplinary Referral Action for

what had happened. I did keep the
enclosed Disciplinary Referral be-
cause this one was the last draw.
How can a 6 year old Black male
be charged with damaged to prop-
erty and vandalism for eating a
green crayon.

This is the kind of thing that
starts early in a child Ts life and is
perpetuated over a period of time
because these slips are placed in
his school record. Each teacher

oMama can Tt you help me? ? and
find that parents are helpless to
stop this kind of treatment. Kids
grow believing there is no one who
can help them and their parents
can Tt talk to them anymore be-
cause respect has been lost. The
teacher Ts bottom line is always,
oyou must not care about your
child. ?

I know there are many other
parents out there who are having

istered. They had him sitting out
in the Secretary's office more than
one time because they said hecould
not go to class. He always properly
registered; the school lawyer had
to verify that for these teachers.
Now that that situation is over,
they want to place him in 4 oSpe-
cial Class ?, because I disagreed,
they reported me to the Depart-
ment of Social Services for Child
Neglect. Each time! disagree with

The two teachers at South Gre-

Black families and rights they may
have. It seems the Principal come
in on the end of this and only relay
information the teachers may
have. It is as it has always been,
the teacher is always right. What

I think it is time for the school
system to re-examine the message
that they are sending out to stu-
dents, (black males) and take the
responsibility for this kind of geno-
cide. Blaming the family does not
wash when parents experience
situations like this in the school
and when their children ask

and other schools here in Pitt
County. It is time parents got in-
volved and stopped this kind of
genocide of our young children,
especially our young Black males.

at this school:

At one point the school wanted
to put Robert out of school because

my campaign to all the people of

the First District. I welcome a full
discussion of the issues among the
candidates who choose to file.

Many issues remain to be re-
solved in the Congress of the
United States, but jobs, the
economy, health care, and educa-
tion are the most critical at this
time, and while debating these is-
sues is fine, the time for actionis at
hand.

While the issues facing the coun-
try seem intimidating I feel that
my education, background and
experience will enable me, as your
Congressman, to help formulate
workable solutions to those prob-

and competitive again. I have prac-

Williamston for the last twelve
years and was a chemical engi-

I am married to the former Jane

To the editor

In 1896 when Josephine St.
Pierre Ruffin founded the National
Association of Colored Women Ts
Clubs in Boston, Mass., Black
women came together to address
their specific concerns and to pro-
mote the welfare of their people in
religion, education, health, em-
ployment, and social welfare. Our
youth and the Black family have
been the central unifying force
behind the establishment of Black
women Ts organizations. In 1935,

businesswomen founded the Na-

Ain Tt That
Something

By Melanie McNeill

A lesson that most of us learn
when we are in grade school, was
learned the hard way, by a man in
Dublin, Ireland. He sat down ona
public toilet seat. to use the rest
room. Apparently some kids were
playing a joke, that did not end up
as funny as it was supposed to.
The man was superglued to the
seat, and paramedics had to pull
the commode up and carry it with
the man glued on to it, to the
emergency room.

The moral of the story is to never
sit on a public toilet seat, it could
wind up a very sticky situation.

The shoe-lasting machine invented by Jan Matzeliger not only
revolutionized the shoe industry but also made Lynn,
Massachusetts, the oshoe capital of the world. ?

Born in Paramaribo Dutch Guiana, Matzeliger found
employment in the government machine works at the age of 10.
Eight years later, he immigrated to the United States, settling in
Philadelphia, where he worked in a shoe factory. He latter moved
to New England, settling permanently in Lynn.

invention of machines to sew, cut, and tack shoes, but none had
been perfected to last a shoe. Seeing this, Matzeliger lost little
time in designing and patenting just such a device, one which he
refined over the years to a point where it could adjust a shoe,
arrange the leather over the sole, drive in the nails, and deliver the

finished product " all in one minute Ts time.

Between 1883 and 1891, Jan received 5 patents on his inventions,
all which contributed to the show making revolution. His last
patent was issued in September 1891, two years posthumously.

Matzeliger died when only 37, long before he had the chance
to realize a share of the enormous profit derived from his
invention. He never received any money. Instead, he was issued
stock in the company which did not become valuable until after

his death.

Black History Month has always
meant to me a time we set aside to
honor the achievement of those
who have, and hare paving the

-way for the next generations to

come. But what does it mean to
other young African Americans?

That question weighed heavily
on my mind as I walked through
the campus of ECU. So, I asked a
few of the students for their inter-
pretation of Black History month.
Most said the same thing that I
said; but, a few had different an-
swers. One young man named
Derrick said it should give people
an incentive to find their origins,
another student agreed with him
on this.

Then, another said it should re-
mind us not to forget where we
came from and to give something
back toour community. Alan Jack-
son liked to think of this as a time
to honor our historic leaders who
broke many barriers for us such as

: Dr. King. I was most impressed

personally by that answer. Still,
half of those I asked didn Tt know
the answers. That really convinced

meinawaythattheyeitherdidn Tt -

know about their history or didn Tt
think it to be very important.

Judging from the shortage of
Black males and teachers on the
campus that I noticed, I can see
why.

History of the Multicultural Center Concept

The Multicultural Center Con-
cept was a result of discussions
during a oCommunity Round-
Table Forum. ? Through a grant
from NC Humanities Council, Dr.
Mohammed Ahad conducted four
community round tables on four
cultures: Indian, Hispanic, Chi-
nese, and Mid-Eastern. The pro-
gram evaluations were glowing
and suggested establishment of a

permanent community-based cul-

turalcenter. The then president of
the Pitt-Greenville Chamber of
Commerce and other. interested
persons brainstormed the pros and
cons of such an endeavor, The
group suggested establishing 4
small committee and a study group
of interested professionals, com-
munity representatives, and cul-
tural activists. After exploration

of need, an executive committee :

was elected, and three subcom-
mittees were appointed to begin
the implementation process. The
project is incorporated as an inde-
pendent nonprofit corporation. A
seventeen member Board of Di-
rectors and six Subcommittees
were elected and are active. You
are invited to lend your support to
this worthy cause.
