My fellow Citizens of Greenville & Pitt County
I stand before you today because
for several years I Tve seen the un-
fortunate deterioration in the qual-
ity of life of our youth, senior citi-
zens, and other individuals
trapped in the moderate and low
income low income areas of our
city and county. While I, for years,
was only able to speculate that
crime was getting worse based on
my daily observations, as I trav-
eled through these neighborhoods,
and heard the accounts of mur-
ders, rapes, drug arrests, burglar-
ies, etc. in the local medial; I was
deeply shaken as to the extent of
these problems facing Greenville
& Pitt County when I was pro-
vided a copy of May 9, 1994 edition
of USA Today newspaper. Mrs.
Beatrice Maye, a local leader and
educator, provided me an article
from this publication entitled, oThe
Deadliest Counties in the USA for
Children. �
My fellow citizens, I Tm here to
tell you that I was acutely aware of
our long-standing plight toimprove
the test scores of our youth in local
school; I am equally aware of the
serious infant mortality problems
we have in this county and the
outstanding effort of the tremen-
dously effect local effort being
waged by the Daily Reflector and
local leaders and volunteers to
address this problem. But not in
my lifetime would I ever expect to
see Pitt County listed as the 10th
deadliest county in the USA for
children. This article reflects that,
based on 1991 crime statistics, Pitt
County was one of the deadliest
counties in the USA for children
killed by guns during an assault or
police shooting, based on the rate
of murders per 100,000 people. (I
offer you a copy of this article as
Handout #1.) Careful analysis of
local crime statistics reflect that a
significant part of Pitt County Ts
crime problems can be attributed
to the statistics reflect that a sig-
nificant part of Pitt County Ts crime
problems can be attributed to the
statistics generated within the City
of Greenville (approximately 83%
of the crime).
Reviewing Handout #2, we can
see that, except for the year 1992,
Ms. Johnson accepted
as finalist for Miss NC
Ms. Ronda N. Johnson, of Wash-
ington, NC has been accepted as a
state finalist for the 1995 Miss
North Carolina USA Pageant.
Ronda is the daughter of Reatha
Johnson and Ronald Johnson, both
of Washington.
Ronda, a graduate of Washing-
ton High School, is currently at-
tending East Carolina University,
majoring in Pre-law. She works at
the Alpha Beta Nu building on
Hackney Ave.
Ronda will be competing in Char-
lotte, NC on November 11 and 12
for the Miss North Carolina USA
title. If she wins, she will be flown
to the national pageant for two
weeks to complete for the Miss
USA title.
Please keep Ronda in your
prayers and wish her the best of
luck throughout the pageant. If
you would like to sponsor Ronda,
please contact her at Alpha Beta
Nu, 946-4808, between 2:30 and
5:00 p.m.
there has been a gradual increase
in murders, with the year 1994
showing a drasticincrease (10 thus
far, as opposed to an average of 5.6
murders per year during the pre-
vious 5 years). Other crime statis-
tics presented to local citizens dur-
ing a recent meeting at the
Greenville City Hall reflect a simi-
lar or greater increase in other
violent crimes within the City of
Greenville. In view of the afore-
mentioned, it can be logically de-
duced that, based soley on
Greenville Ts Crime Statistics, Pitt
County will likely be considered
even more deadly for children in
1994.
It is because of the severity of
this problem and the firm convic-
tions that the Greenville Police
and the Pitt County Sheriff's De-
partment cannot solve these prob-
lems alone, that we come forward
to volunteer our services in an
attempt to mobalize the citizens of
this city and this county in the
implementation and/or modifica-
tion of a plan involving civic, reli-
gious, social, educational, profes-
sional, and political leaders within
the county. This plan addresses a
multi-faceted approach to dealing
with those factors which contrib-
ute to the proliferation of crime
and adversely affects quality of
life of all the citizens of our county.
There is nothing magical or sa-
cred about these proposals, they
can be modified, eliminated or
changed, for no one possesses sole
domination of brains, thoughts, or
ideas. I do, however ask thatif you
are to be instantly critical or pessi-
mistic about any of these ideas,
that you substitute a better idea
before recommending the elimi-
nation of any proposal.
I sincerely expect a few indi-
viduals who seek personal recog-
nition as a leader, individuals who
are well respected criminals, indi-
"S ee ee ee a ee
viduals who are self-serving and
inconsiderate of the needs of oth-
ers, not to be supportive of this
effort. However, I sincerely be-
lieve that the preponderance o the
citizens and leaders of community
will see this as an opportunity to
unite to address and rectify two
serious problems facing the citi-
zens of our community.
In-conclusion, I immediately so-
licit the support of all ministerial
alliances, educational, civic, social,
service, fraternal, masonic, and
other organizations within this
county to volunteer their services
in various capacities within our
newly created organization
(C.0.N.T.A.C.T.) CITIZENS OR-
GANIZED TO ATTACK CRIME
I especially solicit the involve-
ment of financial experts, crimi-
nologists, religious, social and psy-
chology professionals as well as
grass roots individuals, to lead
individuals, to lead individual task
forces charged to address those
critical factors contributing to the
problems at hand.
While crime has to be our first
priority, increased taxes are also
of concern. I have taken the liberty
to solicit the help of local people in
reviewing the budget of the City of
Greenville for Fiscal Year 1994-
95, in an attempt to validate the
need for the tax increase recently
voted on and conditionally ap-
proved by the Mayor and the
Greenville City Council. There are
known and suspected areas of
abuse in spending in the City of
Greenville andI sincerely feel that
during these times of austerity,
we must find ways of eliminating
waste and ensuring the effective
use of tax payers dollars.
In closing, individuals desiring
to get involved in our effort may

Last week we dealt with the
General Accounting Office Ts report
on the personnel practices of the
-Architect of the Capitol. As a re-
~sult of that report, the Senate Sub-
~committee on Legislative Branch
held hearings on this important
~matter. The featured witness was
- George White, the Architect of the
Capitol oThe Boss � for over two
- thousand mostly blue collar em-
ployees.
Although Maryland Senator
Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) is not
the Chair of the Subcommittee,
the sometimes feisty law-maker
took the lead in the not so polite
scolding of Mr. White. Mikulski
consistently pressed White to ex-
plain how itis that there are virtu-
ally on African Americans in the
hiearchy of his office or in the
higher paid jobs under his super-
vision. White offered no real ex-

planation for this sorry state of
affairs, but promised that he would
rectify the situation. an informal
poll of those who aré directly af-
fected by the policies enforced by
Mr. White are not optimistic. Joe
Smith said (not real name) said oI
did not hear anything from Mr.
White that convinces me that he
will do what is right. I have heard
him promise to improve before. �
Another worker says oI am in my

~ have never seen anything like this
in my life. � ] am not an employee of
Mr. White, and I am a little older
than the mid-twenties but I con-
cur that some images on Capitol
Hill are nauseating.
During her opening statement,
Senator Mikulski cited the fact
that she had been hearing horror
stories about life under the Archi-
tect for a prolonged period of time.
She, of course noted that a number
of the workers are her constitu-
ents. But she also noted that she
was speaking for persons who are
afraid to speak because of fear of
retaliation to speak for themselves.

rule-makers don Tt have to follow
their own directives. The contin-
ued bad treatment of workers in
the Architect's office and in other
venues on the Hill raises a funda-
mental question. Where are most
of the Member of the Congres-
sional Black Caucus and why
aren Tt they leading the fight for
equal rightsin the buildings where
their offices are located? One
worker offered her opinion stating
oMost of them barely speak to us
and their staffs operate the same
way. � This aloofness certainly isn Tt
true of all CBC Members but many
certainly fall in that category.
When asked what was in the
works to improve the situation,
Mr. White quickly noted that he
had hired some new persons to
handle the problems that were in
the GAO report. All four persons
introduced to the Senate panel
were White. To use the old collo-
quialism the Architect oJust
doesn Tt get it. � Or he sees very
little wrong with the current sys-
tem.

Forty years ago this week, the
U.S. Supreme Court decided the
sos v. " oxh " " case,
which brough segrega-
toa tsa aed . Some
scholars believe the Board deci-
sion was the nation Ts most impor-
tant Supreme Court case in the
last century, if not our entire his-
tory.
Among the many laudable val-
ues articulated in the Brown deci-
sion, two of the most enduring are
Quality Education and the Impor-
tance of Equality. Although these
values have not been fully real-
ized, they remain as important
today as they were 40 years ago.
Quality Education For All
The Brown v. Board of Educa-
tion decision said, oeducation is
perhaps the most important func-
tion of state and local governments.
Compulsory school attendance
laws and the great expenditures
for education both demonstrate our
recognition of the importance of
education to our democratic soci-
ety...itis the very foundation of
citizenship. It is a principal in-
strument in awakening the child
to cultural values, in preparing
him for later professional train-
ing, and in helping him adjust nor-
mally to his environment. �
Today, as America moves into
the 21st century, education re-
mains the key to opening doors of
opportunity for all people in our
society. This Administration has
already made education a corner-
stone o fits plans to rejuvenate the
country. The Brown decision also
considered education vital to de-
mocracy. The Court called educa-
tion, othe foundation of good citi-
zenship � and the preparation for
olater professional training. � Simi-
larly, our own policies have em-
phasized these important goals.
The foundation of good citizen-
ship education is also vital to de-
mocracy. Our National Service
Program recognizes the link be-
tween democratic citizenship and
education as it enables young
people to devote a few years of
their time serving the community
in return for financial assistance
for college.
Preparation For Professional
Training: Two weeks ago, I signed
the School-to-Work Opportunities
Act, which creates a national sys-
tem to develop and strengthen
programs that help move young
people from school to work by con-
necting school-based earning with
work-based learning. This week,
we kick off the implementation of
Goals 2000 law, which will increase
adult literacy and reduces school
dropout rates rates by the year

measures recognize that the aver-
age Americans will change jobs
several times in his or her lifetime,
resulting in a greater need for life-
long learning.
The Importance Of Equality
Forty years after Brown, we af-
firm the belief that our nation Ts
diversity strengthens rather than
divides, us. Then the struggle was
to integrate African Americans
into a society that, by law, segre-
gated them,. Today, the struggle
is to provide equal opportunity to
citizens while recognizing that in-
tegration is still a valuable goal.
We are one people, we have much
to learn from one another.

The Ten Commandments of Con-
flict Management
Remember, all conflicts are not
resolvable. Resources will only
stretch so far, but most conflicts
are manageable.
Don Tt believe that all conflicts
are bad or harmful. Effective com-
munication can make conflict ben-
eficial. -
Don Ttexpect toeliminate all com-
munication breakdowns. Antici-
pate misunderstanding.
Look for what Ts to be learned
from a conflict. Every conflict pro-
vides potentially useful informa-
tion.
Don Tt Mope "Cope!!! Avoiding
conflicts won't make them go away.
Remember, yelling and scream-
ing may feel good, but it rarely
gets you anywhere.
Being ornery and disagreeable
may be fun to some, but frustrat-
ing to others. Dissent when neces-
sary, but not just for amusement.
Don Tt allow conflicts to become
personal and out of control. Dis-
agree with issues, not with people.
Avoid turning conflicts into win-
lose situations. Most effectively
managed conflicts have no losers.
.. dust Winners.
If all else fails, remember that
some people are just hard to get
along with and even the best con-
flict manager cannot change
them!!!

Laketa has ~a wonderful Pastor
Bishop J.R. Carney which encour-
ages her to go forth and to be all
and the best you can be in life then
to set a goal and go for it.
oShe is a very respectful child
but she does have her moments as
most young adults have growing
up is life � states her Mother
Michelle Sutton. Thatis a blessing
from God to have a child wanting
to be successful in life this day and
times. � says Mom.
Laketa success started at the
age of 4, when she was a student a
Lulliby Daycare Center on Memo-
rial Drive, with this special teacher
by the name of Sandra Jenkins.
Sandra fell in love with Laketa
and adopted her as her Goddaugh-
ter teaching her how to read ev-

major this all started in her own
backyard with her dad, Rufus
Sutton, playing basketball with ©
Laketa with goal attached toa |
pecan tree is our backyard, they
worked hard everyday, after Fa-
ther came home from work.
Laketa was one of the first 6th
graders to become manager of bas-
ketball team of AG Cox. She played
other sports which included Soft-
ball, Volleyball, Baseball but Bas-
ketball was major over all. Laketa
scored 144 points for the season
while she was at AG Cox. She was

Special Envoy
It didn Tt leak, � said a White
House official, not for attribution.
oIt � was President Clinton Ts selec-
tion of former Pennsylvania Rep-
resentative William H. Gray III as
his special enjoy to Haiti. Accord-
ing to the official, Gray met with
National Security Advisor Tony
Lake and then President Clinton
on Saturday, May 7th. Clinton
made the announcement, which
surprised many observers, the fol-
lowing day.
The President also disclosed new
procedures, allowing Haitians flee-
ing their country to make claims
for political asylum aboard U.S.
owned or leased ships, or in third-
country processing centers. De-
spite the new procedures, Clinton
and his officials have stressed that
the U.S. is not changing its policy
of returning Haitian refugees to
their country. Nevertheless, these
changes were sufficient for Randall
Robinson, TransAfrica Ts Executive
Director, to end his 27 day fast in
protest of Clinton Ts Haiti policy.
Wade Henderson, director of the
NAACP"s Washington office called
Clinton Ts selection of Gray as spe-
cial envoy oa brilliant political
master-stroke. He Ts taken a bold
step toward a committment to re-
storing democracy to Haiti. �
Henderson adds that the NAACP
is encouraging the administra-
tion to move expeditiously in pur-
suit of a third-country placement
option. He says that it is impor-
tant to establish for Haitians, a
safe-haven from the general vio-
lence in Haiti.
Gray replaces Lawrence
Pezzulo, who was forced to resign
last month. Pezzulo departed with
criticism of Clinton and his policy,
and Pezzulo was in turn criticized
by Eleanor Holmes Norton, Wash-
ington, D.C. Ts non-voting Congres-
sional Representative. She said
thatthe Congressional Black Cau-
cus, which had been exceptionally
critical of Clinton Ts Hairi policy,
was oprofoundly dissatisfied with
Mr. Pezzulo. He was essentially
getting in bad with the military in
Haiti. � Norton indicated that

Pezzulo Ts efforts to reach an ac-
cord with Haiti Ts military
emboldened it to engage in a reign
of intimidation and terror.
Gray, who heads the United
Negro College Fund, takes on the
Haiti assignment as a private citi-
zen, without pay, and will serve
130 days or less. Henderson says
that Gray Ts position as special en-
voy to Haiti represents a olast clear
chance � to negotiate an effective
settlement, and puts positive pres-
sure on everyone to restore Presi-
dent Aristede to office and democ-
racy to Haiti. However, Henderson
adds that while Aristede was demo-
cratically elected, it may be still
necessary for the exiled President
to broaden considerably his politi-
cal base in Haiti.
Henderson views Gray Ts special
relationship with the Congres-
sional Black Caucus - a group he
once chaired - as a plus. He says
that Gray has a way of cutting to
the quick on important policy ques-
tions, and maintains that because
of his political acumen, Gray will
be unlikely to tolerate the recalci-
trance of Haiti Ts military rulers to
step aside and, at least in the case
of Lieutenant General Raoul
Codras, leave Haiti.

ANEGRO IS CREMATED by a grinning lynch mob in Omaha, Neb. in 1919. The outrage began on a Sunday evening, when
5,000 people stormed a courthouse where the Negro, accused of assaulting a white girl was held. Omaha Ts mayor tried to
intervene, was hanged on a trolley pole and rescued in critical condition by police. Meanwhile the mob seized the Negro, hanged
him to a pole, riddled him with shots, cut him down, dragged him through the streets, then burned his body. In 1919 some
25 large and small race riots occurred in the U.S., the worst of them in Chicago where 23 Negroes and 15 whites were killed
537 injured.

_A few months ago I was in the
emergency room of a Cleveland
hospital waiting fora friend. While
I sat there a mother with two small
children came in seeking medical
care. Her children Tseyes were red
and swollen; clearly they were suf-
fering from what is commonly
~ galled pink eye, a highly conta-
gious condition which children of-
ten get.
What was just as clear was that
~We Need A Health Care Re
while this condition must be
treated, it was not really an emer-
gency room case. Yet for many
poor mothers, the emergency room
is the only medical treatment fa-
cility which they know. For some,
itis the only treatment center any-
where near where they live.
There Ts something wrong with
the health care system in America.
Stories like the one above prove
that. Statistics also prove that.
as White babies to die before they
celebrate their first birthday-The
rate of AIDS among African Ameri-
cans is more than triple that of
Whites. Young African American
males experience a homicide rate
more than 700 times that of White
Try these tempting chicken recipes
Choose chicken that is plump,
clean, and free of bruises and dis-
-oloration. Skin color will vary

smness.

rates of alcoholism and drug ad-
diction. African American children
are more likely to have high levels
of lead poisoning. Indeed, African
Americans face disproportionately
higher mortality rates from can-
cer, heart disease and stroke, cir-
rhosis, and diabetes.
There Ts something wrong with a
health system in the wealthiest
country in the world which allows
these disparities to exist and even
to grow. There Ts something wrong
with a health system that does not
address these issues head-on with
an single payer, culturally-sensi-
tive, community-based health
treatment and education program
for everyone, especially for the
oleast of these. �
What we need in the communi-
ties of people of color is not just
health care reform, but a health
care revolution. Yet even with all
the talk about health care reform
in the country today, little is being
said about the unique needs of our
community with health care prob-
lems more closely parallel to those
of Third World countries than those
of Third World countries than those
of White America.
