Some people
upset by lack
of official
action taken
Mr. Calving Henderson, serves
as Executive Director of the
Winterville Concerned Citizens
and Development, Inc., and is a
very outspoken individual and a
true community leader.
On Dec. 12, 1996, a shot was
fired into the home of Mr.
Henderson, through an insulated
wall hitting a brick wall and possi-
bly ricocheting into another arean.
All this due to Mr. Henderson be-
ing outspoken and a true commu-
nity leader for
tee, worked extremely hard for two
years in completing a goal of initi-
ating a nurse-managed center to
serve the health care needs of
Winterville citizens with particu-
lar program emphasis on health
promotion and disease prevention
in the elderly, frail and children.
To accomodate this need the
Health and Wellness Steering
Committee has spent considerable
time and effort to secure an appro-
priate site for housing. A promi-
nent Winterville family had of-
fered us the use of a very desirable
site. It was apparent that the His-
torical Society was opposing our
use of this site. At this meeting the
steering committee was verbally
attacked to our proposed use not
being in the best interest of the
site. The meeting was so heate
until the Winterville Board of Al-
derman__ad-
his community
andthe citizens
of Winterville.
Through the
vears, Mr.
Henderson has
tried to the
berst of his abil-
ity to address
those issues
that would help
remove the
dreadful illness of racism and ha-
tred that for too long has plagued
our citizens and kept justice from
prevailing for all people regard-
less of race, creed, or color. Yet
here in the community, like many
others in our country, one does not
have the freedom to address
change that is good for all people if
one is black without ones very life
being put in serious jeopardy. It
seems too much of a coincident
that this event took place immedi- «
ately following avery heated meet-
ing that took place on Dec. 12,
1996, at the Winterville local gov-
ernment office. A meeting that took
place between the Wintervill His-
torical Society and the Winterville
Health and Wellness Steering
Committee. Both committees had
met previously on Dec. 09, 1996, to
discuss a project that the Health

tribute to
Howard C.
Barnhill
By Velmar R. Speight
On January 6, 1996, Jesus
paused beside Howard and whis-
pered low: oYour work on earth is
finished, itTs time to go.� He did not
weep, and with a faint smile, he
nodded and said oITve been ready
for a while.�
Ibelieve at that moment Howard
looked up to heaven and silently
prayed,
oLord, I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one. I'd like to leave
an afterglow ofsmiles since my life
is, done. .
I'd like to leave an echo whisper-
ing softly down the ways of happy
times and laughing times and
bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who
grieve today before the sun tograsp
the happy memories that I leave
sincanow my life is done.�
We as black citizens are
well aware of our constitu-
tional rights and also
aware that often our wel-
fare has no priority or im-
portance in the overall
larger picture.
ES Ee eho duled for
vised that we
meet at a later
time to discuss
this issue in-
cluding to re-
view their sug-
gestions fo an-
other available
site. Conse-
quently, this
meeting was
Dec. 12, 1996. Attorney Kleen
Lassiter, city attorney chaired the
meeting. After hearing the offer
made we had previously received
rather than to accept thrir pro-
posal. Upon our stating such the
members of the Historical Society
appeared to become very disturbed
and angry. In fact, one person was
observed throwing papers on the
table. Thereafter the meeting was
adjourned.
The mayor of Winterville is a
member of this steering commit-
tee representing the local govern-
ment and he has informed us that
many negative and racial com-
ments have been made to him and
the city clerk by various members
of this group while openly using
the oN� word.

The Aggie family is saddened
today because of the silenced voice
of a pioneer in alumni work -one
who gave unselfishly, with dis-
tinction, un swerving dedication,
and devotion to his Alma Mater
and to the Alumni Association.
However, we celebrate. We cel-
ebrate a life of love and un
derstanding.
Each of us has his or her own
remembrances of our most loyal,
committed, dedicated, devoted and
supporting Aggie. These we trea-
sure. For some, it is remembering
his presidency of the Alumni Asso-
ciation, the one with the longest
tenure in history, and how he

Treatment for
AIDS in Kenya is
moving forward
By Abdul Alim Muhammad,
M.D.
After returning from a Septem-
ber 1991 trip to Kenya, Dr.
Muhammad and colleague Dr.
Barbara Justice began treating a
seriess of patients with Kernron
the Kenyan treatment for AIDs.
Over the next 12 months, they
treated more than 50 patients with
the same amazing results they had
witnessed in Kenya.
The story contnues below:
After successfully treating scores
of patients, we enlisted the help of
a brilliant biostatistician at Mor-
gan State University, Dr. Harold
Aubrey, Ph.D., who helped us de-
sign a study of our clinical data. In
August 1992, we presented our
findings at the National Merdical
AssociationTs (NMA) convention in
San Francisco.
The results were so astounding
and scientifically valid that the
House of Delegates of the NMS
votd unanimously in vavor of the
National Institutes of Hoalth spon-
soring clinical trials. The NIH at
this point had taken a decidedly
negative view of the work going on
in Kenya. After all, we allknow
thatif there is tobe abreakthrough
in science or medicine, then it must
take place in a Western, i.e., white
country. Certainly no little upstart
Black scientist in a Thirld World
country was going to get the upper
hand on the likes of NIH and its
Europeqan counterparts - this we
all learned in White Supremacy
101.
By October 1992, the NMA,
which represents more than 22,000
Black doctors throughout the coun-
try, had used its good offices to
arrange a meeting between the
officials at NIH and myself and
Dr. Justice. We had a double duty
that days as I remember it. Not
only did we have to establish the
case for Kemron Clinical Trials,
but we also had to undo the nega-
tive propoganda that had been put
ut in advance of our meeting at the
osummit� of the white American
medical establishment. Also in
attendance, laying the procedural
framework, was Dr. Walter
Shervington of the NMA.
Meanwhile, Dr. Aubrey but-
tressed the clinical argument with
tatistical and mathematical for-
ulations. after a long discussion,
\
Kemron trials show promise
which at times grew very heated,
the NIH side yielded and admitted
that they had heard enough and
were willing to reverse their long-
standing conviction against
Kemron Clinical Trials.
The NIH reversal was an-
nounced immediately at a press
conference in Washinton, D.C.
where NIH officials were nearly
shouted down by representatives
of some of the major news organi-
zations, especially ABC. Unknown
at that time was the network was
laying the ground-work for a
hatchet job on their weekly news
progra, Prime Time Live, which
would seek to savage the reputa-
tion and undermine the credibility
of both Dr. Justice and myself.
Although a four-hour plus inter-
view was given to the ABCTs news
team, it resorted to underhanded
tactics such as hidden camera and
phony patients.
Despite negative publicity, the
work continnued to grow. Over the
next few years the protocol for the
clinical trial was written through
endless and interminable meet-
ings with the NIH officials and
others, but perservance has itTs
rewards. In April 1996, almost four
years after planning began, it was
announced that ron Clinical
Trials were unde . They didnTt

Supports
King, Calls
for Boycott
of HBO
By Collie J. Nicholson
Don King is perfectly suited for
the pressure-cooker position he
occupies the oworldTs greatest box-
ing promoter.�
Against numerous roadblocks
and the greatest conceivable odds,
he vaulted to the top of his profes-
sion almost three decades ago and,
today, literally stands distances
ahead of every other boxing pro-
moter s oKing of the Hill.�
Asupersalesman, whocan blend
baloney and brilliance with all the
skills of a carnival pitchman,
KingTs high-pitched voice gets even
higher when he talks about the
sport he loves.
His smiling visage and hairstyle
are different, but his story is not
unlike others from the inner city
who pulled themselves up by their
buotstraps.
He struggled from a depressed |
beginning and overcame adversity
to dwarf the accomplishments of
all the other boxing and entertain-
ment promoters, gaining notori-
ety for himself and, in the process,
parlayed his personal affluence
into high figures, a great part of
whichis given to charity annually.
King paid the Internal Revenue
Service $30 million in taxes for
income earned in 1996. He
awarded nearly three million dol-
lars to charity. :
Rarely, if ever, has one indi-
vidual controlled the purse strings
in boxing or in any other sport
with such authonty.
Small wonder then that there
are detractors and open media
hostility.
On June 15, King will be in-
ducted into the International Box-
ing Hall of Fame in Canastota,
N.Y. for his competence, profes-
sional genius and for the role he
played in the resurgence of boxing
worldwide.
When the announcement was
made that King was among 13
inductees scheduled for enshrine-
ment, promoter Bob Arum, one of
KingTs bitter enemies, reverted to
his disgruntled style by criticizing
the 25-member selection panel,
complaining that oThose guys
worked too hard to build it up (the
International Boxing Hall of Fame)
and now in one swoop tear it down
by electing King.�
Boxing superstar Sugar Ray
Leonard, ex-light heavyweight
champion Jose Torres and King
are the only living members to be
enshrined. Ten members will be
inducted posthumously.
Whatever the criticism might
be, KingTs credentials are impec-
cable. He made boxing artistically
captivating and his stock contin-
ues to rise.
No one can match his record of
400 championship fights. He has
been the driving force behind some
of the greatest and richest prize
fights in history, including boxing
luminaries Muhammad Ali, Joe
Frazier, Mike Tyson, Evander
Holyfield, Roberto Duran, Larry
Holmes, Sugar Ray Leonard, Julio
Caesar Chavez, Terry Norris and
numerous other stellar champi-
ons.
Mindful ofhis enormous achieve-
ments, what he means to boxing,

To the editor:
Crime doesnTt pay but it sure
does cost.
Increasing crime has become a
national disgrace, especially here
in Greenville/Pitt County. Its in-
evitable effects threaten the con-
tinued existence of our society,
while effective remedies have
eluded us.
Certainly there is no dearth of
the theories to the causation of
crime: poverty, secularization of
society, violence on TV, permis-
siveness, weakened adult author-
ity, the breakdown of morality,
nog:
failure of the leagal process, and
go on. Undoubtedly each of these
has contributed something to the
problems of violence, vandalism
and law breaking. However, most
authorities probably would agree
that the main roots of crime and
delinquency lie in the family.
But where is the family? Spe-
cifically what factors in the family
are critical? Is it lack of discipline?
Neglect? Lack of moral education?
Broken homes? Economic depri-
vation? Working mothers? Poor
nutrition? All of these are ofteb
cited as principal causes of crime
and delinquency.
Less often is attention called to
another factor, which may con-
tribute the most to whether achild
turns out to be a constructive and
cooperative member of society ora
person_bent_on committing acts
that are destructive to others,a nd
eventually to his or herself. That
factor, quite simply, is the quality
of the parent-child relationship. If
the parent-child and husband-wife
relationships are good, we would
predict a low probability of crimi-
nal or delinquent or violent behav-
ior. If it is bad, then a high prob-
ability of criminal or delinquent or
violent behavior.
LetTs point our finger exactly
where the problem lies and only
you and I can help solve it by being
living examples of positive role
models, including a spiritual re-
newal.
Note - The work of the preacher
LEE T Pick-Up DELIVERY
and the policeman is similar. The
policeman usually gets the
preacher's dropouts.

WHAT SHALL I TELL
MY SON?
It was our sons who fathered the
more than quarter of a million ba-
bies born out of wedlock last year.
It was our sons who impregnated a
estimated half-million unmarried
girls who underwent criminal abor-
tions last year. And it was our sons
who had to enter into some quar-
ter ofa million hasty and frequently
loveless marriages last year be-
cause their brides were already
pregnant.
I want to tell him that the birth-
control pill offers American women
oan ability that men have always
known, the ability to make love
without personal consequencies�.
I shall urge him to have his own
definition of integrity and to stick
to it regardless of the college bull
sessions, regardless of what hte
other men in the army barracks
say.
I wanthim to understand that to
think of sex simply as fun is to
degrade it. To put sex in the same
category as playing tennis, which
is fun, or as going out to dinner,
whichis also fun, is to make mock-
ery of the most stirring experience
he will ever have.
I want him to know that no one
has the right to hurt another hu-

Herald by Arlene Silberman)
DonTt Sell Yourself Short
Many people make themselves
unmagnetic, if not actively dis-
liked by alway making a play for
sympathy. Your mother or your
sweetheart may care, but every-
one else the recital of your troubles
and illnesses is usually a bore.
Nobody is interested in your not
looking well because you didnTt
shut your eyes all night or you
injured yourself uselessly; instead
if you exerted yourself to be ani-
mated and charming, if you
complimented others and thought
of something kind to do or inter-
esting to say, nobodky would no-
tice how you looked.
You are fishing for compliments
when, you say, oITm afraid this
dress is awful� or oITm broke, I
donTt see how I'll make out till
payday� You simply reveal a defi-
nite inferiority complex.
But most of these confessions
are due tosimple thoughtlessness,
or to inordinate tendecy to talk.
For when one talks too much, one
is apt to talk of oneself. Some
people indulge an irresistable urge
upon meeting a friend, or even a
stranger, to pour out a sort of oral
diary, telling everything that has
happenened to them and every-
thing that is in their minds.
Remeber, a certain amount of
reticence gives you more power. It
lifts you to a higher plane of self-
respect.

DID YOU KNOW THAT?
1. Mother pigs, or sows, have
more babies at one time than any
other farm animal. They might
have as many as 12 piglets in a
litter. They are pregnant for 114
days. Right after they are born,
they pick their own nipple on their
moms. Each piglet goes back to the
same nipple every time it nurses.
Lambs often get on their knees
to nurse. They can walk soon after
they are born. At first they iden-
tify their mother by smell. Later
they can recognize her by her call,
or bleat, as well.
Baby horses are inside their
motherTs womb for about 11
months.
After they are born, the mother
licks the baby, or foal, and nudges
it to its feet. Foals can stand up a
few minutes after they are born.
Many animals such as calves,
lambs, piglets and foals are born
with their feet coming out first.
Right after they are born,their
mothers lick them clean. This helps
dry them off so they wonTt get a
chill. It also helps them to start
breathing. It helps get their heart
beating right and their blood flow-
ing as it should.

Flashpoints of the civil right novel eI
Julian Bond
interviewed
about struggle
for equality
As a founder of the Student Nonvio-
lent Coordinating Committee in the
1960s, Julian Bond stood at the fore-
front of the civil rights struggle. Today
he is teaching a new generation of stu-
dents about its history"by sending them
back to where it all began"reports the
cover story ofthe Spring 1997 Ameri-
can Legacy, a quarterly magazine pub-
lished by American Heritage and RJR
Communications.
Julian Bond is interviewed by Dou-
glas Brinkley in Places At The Heart Of
The Movement (p.9). Bond, who was
born in Nashville, Tennessee in 1940,
helped to found the Student Nonviolent
Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in
1960. He worked on voter-registration
drives in rural Alabama, Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, and Arkansas, and then, in | 965,
was elected to a one-year term in the
Georgia House of Representatives. The
other representatives voted not to seal
him because of his opposition to the
Vietnam War. The Supreme Court even-
tually ruled that the Georgia House had
violated his civil rights in refusing him
his seat, and Bond went on to become a
successful legislator, serving four terms
in GeorgiaTs House of Representatives
and six in the State Senate.
After he left politics, Bond began
teaching American history. He 1s cur-
rently Distinguished Scholar in Resi-
dence at American University in Wash-
ington, D.C., and he also teaches at the

sidering a challenge to incumbent
Senator Lauch Faircloth,� Tucker
said.
Both attorney John Edwards and
businessman Charlie Sanders
would make outstanding candi-
dates and both would put the needs
and concerns of North CarolinaTs
working families first, unlike Sena-
tor Faircloth.
oSenator Faircloth has not been
looking out for the best interests of
working families,� said Tucker.
oHe voted against an increase in
the minimum wage and -if youcan
believe it- against a provision that
would make it easier for home-
makers to establish IRAs. Clearly,
North CarolinaTs hard working
men and women would be much
better off if they had the kind of
voice they both need and deserve
in Washington.�
Tucker pointed out that North
CarolinaTs Senate contest is one of
34 in the nation in 1998 and added
that the Faircloth seat is among
the DSCCTs top targeted races.
University of Virginia. For his classes
on the civil rights movement, Bond
recommends that students visit civil
rights sites throughout the South so they
can visit sites where the events they
have read and heard about took place.
Here are some excerpts from the inter-
view:
Douglas Brinkley: oWhen you were
growing up, did you ever read Jefferson
and think about the meaning of ~All
men are created equalT and how that
statement applied to black AmericaTs
fight for civil rights?� Julian Bond:
oThe phrase ~All men are created equal
is so resonant in America that I think all
schoolchildren hear it at one time or
another, even if they donTt connect it
with Jefferson. I associated it with him
later. Of course, I never dreamed I would
be teaching at the university he founded.
But that phrase was ever-present in the
civil rights movement. It was all around
us.� (p.20)
Julian Bond: Even though the num-
ber of civil rights courses at universities
is going up, itis possible to go tocollege
in America today and come out with a
liberal-arts degree and have no notion
of what happened throughout the South
and in the rest of the country relating to
the ongoing conflict about race. It is
possible to be of ficially an educated
person and yet know nothing of this
history. o
THE LAST HEROES (p.26):
Richard E. Miller, a retired Naval
Chief Hospital Corpsman, observes:
~When I became a professional sailor
in the equal-opportunity Navy of the
1970s and 1980s and began to study
Naval and African-American history, I
was saddened to learn that the stories of
the thousands of black sailors whom I
regarded as spiritual forebears those
who served as messmen and stewards
throughout the Second World War"
had been neglected by historians as well
as by African-Americans serving in the
modern Navy.�
In fact, the ranks of these men in-
clude some of the nationTs most highly
decorated military men of African de-
scent. During the Second World War
every black recipient of the Navy Cross,
awarded for heroism, belonged to the
NavyTs stewardsT branch. As veterans
of practically every campaign from Pearl
Harbor, in 1941, to Okinawa, in 1945,
they saw more action than any other
group of black men in the American
armed forces. In December 1941 the
NavyTs African-American mess atten-
dants and stewards numbered 5,026.
That count rose to approximately 68,000
by August 1945. More blacks served as
mess attendants and stewards than
Meu in any other peice of the Navy.

Anderson bought a used plane, a
Valie Monocoupe, with a wooden prop
and open cockpit. Then he had to find
out how to fly it. None of the men at the
small unpaved local airport were going
to get involved with some black kid.
They wouldnTt even answer his ques-
tions. In spite of the obstacles, at age 22,
in 1929, Anderson became a licensed
pilot.
In 1933 Anderson and Albert E.
Forsythe, a doctor and flying enthusi-
ast, flew a Fairchild 24 from Atlantic
City to Los Angeles and back. It was the
first cross-country flight by African-
Americans. The next year they flew to
Nassau and landed in the middle of the
night on an empty street. Another first.
Noaircraft except seaplanes had ever
put down in the Bahamas, before.
Anderson went to Tuskegee Institute
in Alabama to train young men with the
one plane the school could afford. He
was there in 1940, when Eleanor
Roosevelt visited, and she was intro-
duced to him. She decided to take a ride
with Anderson, and he took her up for
three-quarters of an hour. oJt was an
event that changed lives and history,�
said The New York Times decades later,
obecause Mrs. Roosevelt told her hus-
band that if the country was going to
train pilots for the coming war, some of
them ought to be black.�
The program went forward, and
Charles Alfred Anderson was appointed
chief flight instructor.
The base tured out nearly a thou-
sand fliers, known as the Tuskegee Air-
men. They flew thousands of sorties
and missions, shot down six hundred
_ German planes, and never losta bomber.
By the time Chief died, at eighty-nine,
in April 1996, he was widely known as
a legend and an air pioneer. Gene Smith

CAMERA MAN (p.44):
Starting in the 1920s black newspa-
pers hired photographers to document
African-American life on a regional
and national scale, and black communi-
ties saw newspaper photography as a
way to showcase their achievements.
As a young photographer in the 1930s
and 1940s, Robert H. McNeill helped
record this period of profound change
in the African-American urban land-
scape.
A hand-me-down camera from a fa-
vorite aunt got him started. McNeill
used the camera to take pictures for his
high school paper. McNeill entered
Howard University as a pre-med stu-
dent in 1935, but in 1936 a historic
event revived his passion for taking
pictures. Jesse Owens returned to the
United States in triumph, after winning
four gold medals at the Olympics in
Berlin. He was a hero to Americans
black and white and an inspiration to

McNeill calls itomy firstreal success as

Later McNeill opened a studio and
founded the McNeill News Photo Ser-
vice. He remembers taking a picture of
Bill (oBojangles�) Robinson backstage
at the Earle. (now Warner) Theater. oI
couldnTt go in the front and buy a ticket
to watch the show from the audience.
Yet they allowed me to take a picture
from the wings.�
Even when he portrayed celebrities,
McNeill gave his work a hometown
slant. Photographing Joe Louis at a box-
ing match in 1941, McNeill ignored the
fight and shot Louis as he was examined
by Herbert Marshall, a prominent Dis-
trict physician. McNeillTs photographs
of protest marches and picket lines docu-
ment a determined African-American
population struggling to overcome seg-
regation. Today McNeill lives in the
same Washington neighborhood he was
inhabited for more than forty years, the
custodian of a broad and evocative
archive of African-American life as seen
through his cameraTs eye. Jane Lusaka

NEW VOICES FOR OLD SALEM
(p.36):
Old Salem is a colonial-era village
re-created in the heart of twentieth-
century Winston-Salem, North Caro-
lina. Salem was founded in 1766 by
German-speaking Protestants known as
Moravians, and the Moravian church
dominated its community both spiritu-
ally and socially, carefully document-
ing the day-to-day activities of its mem-
bers. In their diaries, reports, and fu-
neral records, SalemTs_ early
recordkeepers also detailed the lives of
church-owned slaves, who made up
about 10 percent of SalemTs population.
Slaves played a major role in this im-
portant trading center, working as pot-
ters, road builders, coopers, carpenters,
teamsters, cooks, brick makers, tanners,
domestics, hostlers (horse tenders),
farmers, and blacksmiths. Yet few Afn-
can-Americans in Winston-Salem are
fully aware of the contributions blacks
made to the cityTs most historic district.

o
Vivian Young of Wilmington,
Delaware, has made it her migsion
- to see that politicians, preachers,
and parents donTt forget the chil-
dren.
| On one occasion, she approached
a pastor she had heard was one of
the most dedicated preachers
around. oThat being the case,� she
told the minister, oI need a miracle
or two: | need your church out-
reach program to take in some chil-
tren who arenTt in your immediate
phurch family. I donTt always get a
good response from ministers, but |
have to let them know that thereTs a
Jot more to pastoring than preach-
ing and passing the plate,� she says.
On another occasion, she walked
service agencies, churches, and
community groups, which will
highlight the health needs of
AmericaTs children. Many child
health experts have been invited to
speak at the gathering, more than
60 health booths will be set up, and
there will be fun activities and food
for the children who attend. oWe
will even have healthy food,�
Vivian says with a smile. oThe
children will be eating veggie burg-
ers, but maybe we'd better keep
that secret since itTs good for them.�
The Delaware rally will coincide
with hundreds of rallies in commu-
nities all across America. So far
there are more than 500 local Stand
For Children rallies planned in 50

into a gathering of state policy
makers and said, oYou may know
that I conduct Child Watch visits
{where she gives politicians and
community leaders a firsthand look
at childrenTs plight by taking them
on tours of neonatal wards, orphan-
ages, juvenile courts, and other
childrenTs services], but just
remember, I'll be watching you.�
But since Vivian helped organize
more tan 2,700 people to Stand For
Children at the Lincoln Memonal
last June Ist, she has been working
hard to keep children a top priority
in Delaware. SheTs been bouncing
from hearings at the State House in
Dover to community meetings in
Wilmington"arming herself with
all the information she can gather
about the needs of DelawareTs chil-
dren and focusing attention on spe-
cific things people can do to insure
young peopleTs lives.
. At last count she had more than
30 organizations working together
to plan the local Stand For Healthy
Children rally on June 1, 1997 in
Wilmington. They include social
States.
Under the umbrella of Stand For
Children, people are networking
and coming together with ideas for
how to solve many of the problems
children are facing. Vivian says,
oThere are a lot of services out
there, but people donTt know how
to access them,� she says, oWhen
somebody needs to know some-
thing about mental health services
for young people, I know | can tum
to someone in our network to find
out about it. It feels good when |
can tell people how they can get
help and not have to pay a lot of
money for it.�
As in every state, Vivian says,
DelawareTs children are suffering
from poverty, poor nutntion, pre-
ventable childhood illnesses, and
lack of health and dental coverage.
oIf everyone would get involved,
children would not be suffering
here or anywhere else,� she says.
With VivianTs help, Delaware
Stand For Children has organized
committees to address childrenTs
issues. oWe have set up commit-
Keeping children a priority
is a never-ending task
tees on education, health, housing,
abuse and crime, and each commit-
tee is researching its area so that we
can be informed when we appear
before members of the
Legislature,� Vivian says, oThere
are so many problems that itTs
astonishing.�
Vivian has also gotten her family
involved. Her husband, Leonard,
Sr, who spent many years with the
United Nations International Labor
Organization before retiring, han-
dles clerical duties for Delaware
Stand For Children. And her only
son, Leonard, Jr, who retired from
Dupont after 25 years, helps out
with business affairs.
oMy life is frenetic, but itTs inter-
esting,� says Vivian, who often
stays up unit 2:00 or 3:00 in the
moming preparing for her visits to
policy makers. oSometimes I think
about sitting on the porch and knit-
ting, and then I say, oNah! ITm sup-
posed to be living at this pace. |
think itTs what keeps me young.�
When state ~=Rep. Lane
Mulrooney handed Vivian the
Delaware Tomorrow Award recent-
ly, for her work with children,
Mulrooney said, oIt seems as if
everybody will recognize Delaware
Stand For Children as a dominant
force for children for a long time.�
oShe was right,� Vivian says,
oWe will be a force that the
Legislature, the governor, and the
local government will have to deal
with. And the good thing about
Stand For Children is that itTs not a
onetime thing. We will remain for
children.�

Mend affirmative action now
For the first time in history, Black
Americans are being penalized not
because they are Black, but because
bther people pretending to be black
are posing as Black in order to get a
cut of the affirmative action pie.
These pretenders are neither white
por Black. They are the ohonorary�
owhite� people who previously
Svoided Black people and some-
times ridiculed Black people when
falking with whites.
: These recently converted pseudo-
Blacks did nut sit at segregated
lunch counters or in the ocrowTs
pest� at movie houses. They never
victimized ancestors and was there-
by qualified to receive restitution
because of the Civil Rights laws
passed in the sixties.
These laws of the 1960s were
aimed specifically to open opportu-
nities for Blacks who, as a group,
obviously had been systematically
excluded from financial opportuni-
ties solely because they were
African Americans.
Several other cases have involved

One example of wrongful intru-
ion into the Black populations is
case of the highway contractor

that he was a descendant of

When voluntary affirmative
action began about 30 years ago, |
emerged from Kansas University
with my masterTs degree and
became a reporter and feature writer
in the previously all-white editorial
offices of the Louisville Couriet-
Journal. After working there for
two years, I thought I saw a glass
ceiling and went back to school for
a doctorate, Visiting that newspa-
per about 18 months later, I was
introduced to the new oreplace-
ment� Black writer and was
amazed. One glance and a few
words indicated that my replace-
ment was not an African American
physically or culturally. Being con-
sidered Black then, like now, is tol-
erable if it means money in the
pocket.
When President Clinton said he
would omend, not end,� affirmative
action he promised to look more
closely at applicants and qualifiers.
This action, if thoroughly done, will
help restrict non-Black pretenders
and quiet some critics.
Affirmative Action laws should
have written more rigidly to include
only two wronged groups"female
citizens and African American citi-
zens of this nation.
The United States already had
paid millions of dollars in orepair
and restitution� to Native
Americans who were wrongfully
displaced and deprived to in the
Westward Expansion. It also paid
millions of dollars to Japanese-
Americans and their descendants
who where wrongfully imprisoned
during World War II. Safeguards
were taken then to guarantee that
only the damaged persons received
orepair and restitution.� No outcry
was made about wrongful benefits
then. Careful monitoring of the
affirmative action program will pro-
duce the same results today.
Just as specific restitution went to
specifically damaged Native
Americans and to specifically dam-
aged Japanese internees, so must
the specific restitution of affirma-
tive action be applied only to
African Americans who with their
ancestors suffered slavery and dis-
crimination.
Affirmative action benefits today
must go only to American females
and to American Blakcs who, with
their ancestors, must receive dam-
age repair in the form of competi-
tive financial advantages and olevel
playing fields� to heal wounds and
repair damages inflicted by almost
400 years of slavery, exploitation,
degradation, torture, and hopeless- *
ness,

The enduring legacy of Malcolm X
This week we celebrate kuzali-
wa, the birthday of oour Black
Shining Prince� El Hajj Malik El
Shabazz, Malcolm X. There is no
leader in the history of Africans in
America who is more worth to be
commemorated, celebrated and
emulated than Malcolm X. As we
reflect on the tragic deaths of
Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls in
the last year, tow of our brilliant
young warriors who lived and
rapped about the orealness� of
ghetto life, it is useful to see
MalcolmTs life as a metaphor of
possibilities for those locked in the
prison of ghetto life today.
Malcolm rose from humble begin-
ning in a poor working class fami-
ly. he eventually got caught up in
he dark underside of the domestic
colonies created by AmerikkkaTs
white supremacist system. He was
a petty thief. a pimp and a light-
weight gangsta who landed in
AmerikkkaTs criminal injustice
system for his transgressions.
The remarkable thing about
Malcolm, however, is that under
the tutelage of the Honorable
Elijah Muhammazg, he did not get
stuck in the othug life.� He did not
simply bemoan the orealness� of
ghetto existence or wallow in and
perpetuate it. Malcolm X trans-
formed himself from an agent of
destruction within AmerikkkaTs
dark ghettos to an agent of libera-
tion committed to changing the
orealness� of racial oppression and
economic exploitation afflicting
Africans in Amenica and the world.
This transformative dimension is
one of the most enduring aspects of
the legacy of Malcolm X.
But there is obviously much
more that this generation needs to
study and learn from the life and
teachings of El Hajj Malik El
Shabazz. At a time when police
brutality, killings and misconduct
have reached epidemic proportions
the analysis and teachings of
Malcolm continue to be instruc-
tive: oThe white press inflames the
white public against
Negroes...The police are able to
make the white public think that 90
percent or 99 percent of the
Negroes...are criminals. And once
the white public is convinced that
most of the Negro community is a
criminal element, the this automat-
ically paves the way for the police
to move into the Negro communi-
ty, exercising Gestapo tactics, stop-
ping any Black man who is on the
sidewalk, whether he is guilty or
whether he is innocent, whether he
is well dressed or whether he is
poorly dressed, whether he-is edu-
cated or whether he is dumb...As
long as he is Black and a member
of the Negro community, the white
public thinks that the white police-
man is justified in going in there
and trampling on that manTs civil
rights and... human rights.� ,
Malcolm X understood the racist |
and systematic nature of police
violence directed against the Black
community. He also knew that
only collective and concerted
action by the Black masses would
stop police violence and end the
oppression/exploitation of the
Black nation. Hence, Malcolm,
taught us that we must control the

- base, but always standing firm on
the basic principles of nationalism,
internationalism and = Pan-
Africanism. It is clear that
MalcolmTs life and legacy are as
relevant to our circumstances as
African people today as ever
before. No doubt Malcolm would
be disappointed that othe more
things change, the more they stay
the same,� that we have not made
more progress since he walked
among us. That notwithstanding,

Black community, that politicians
must come from and be account-
able to the Black community.
Deeply steeped in the philosophy
of self help and self reliance that
was/is the centerpiece of the eco-
nomic program of the Nation of
Islam, Malcolm consistently ham-
mered home the point that Black
people must utilize their economic
resources for self development,
that the shops, stores and business
enterprises in the Black communi-
ty should be owned by and
accountable to Black people.
MalcolmTs vision was not con-
fined to Amerikkka, however. He
was an internationalist and Pan-
Africanist. Malcolm was clear that
the same system of white suprema-
cy that was oppressing Africans
and people of color in Amenkkka
was oppressing and exploiting peo-
ple throughout the Third World and
Africans everywhere including
Africa. Therefore, he was a fierce
proponent of self-determination of
African and Third World people
and devoted to the concept of
African and Third World unity/sol-
idarity as a means of achieving the
goal of freedom from global white
domination.
not give up on this generation. His
abiding faith in the transformative
power of African people as exem-
plified by his life would dictate that
he exhort us to continue to struggle
with the confidence that ultimately
we will be victorious.
El Hajj Malik El Shabazz was
born a victim of circumstances cre-
ated by racism and white suprema-
cy. Like so many victims of racial
oppression and economic exploita-
tion he was criminalized by a crim-
inal system. In effect he was sen-
tenced to death in the genocidal
conditions of the ghetto. But
Malcolm X refused to languish in
the grave. He rose up to become
one of the greatest leaders of
African people of all time. This is
an enduring legacy of Malcolm X,
a legacy which should be an inspi-
ration to this and succeeding gen-
erations. Long live Malcolm X!

Police Brutality: What can we do?
Last week I wrote about what
seems to be the rise of cases of
police brutality across the nation. A
recent National Emergency
Conference on Police Brutality was
held by the Center for
Constitutional Rights (CCR) in
New York City to look at the grow-
ing number of complaints.
Conference participants came from
50 cities and 16 states to share their
stories and examine this phenome-
non.
In the week since | wrote that
column Atlanta police chief
Beverly Harvard has announced
that she will study how to disci-
pline two Atlanta officers, one of
whom is a sergeant, who beat an
Atlanta man repeatedly with a
baton and who were caught on
videotape by a passer-by. The
Atlanta man, carrying his wife and
two children in his car, was
attempting to fill a prescription for
his sick child and exited an inter-
state, only to be told to get back on
the highway by police officers who
had closed the exit because of
Black College Spring break activi-
ties. What is causing this epidemic
of police brutality? As more and
more middle class Americans
move to the suburbs anT. to gated
communities with p* vate police
forces, they cut t.emselves off
from people in the cities and they
seem to care less how the police
keep the peace.
Then, as more and more city res-
idents are losing their jobs as facto-
ries move out of the country or
become obsolete, there is growing
economic pressure on poor,
unskilled and poorly-educated
men, sometimes causing them to
turn to crime. As we as a nation
continue to deny the existence of
racism, we do not take on police
officers or others who exhibit racist
behavior.
oIt feels as if America is at war
against itself and that there is a mil-
itary occupying force targeted
against citizens to many people in
our cities, o said Richie Perez of the

cal issue at their annual fall meet-
ing.
In addition, CCR is working to "
set up a national network for par-
ents and families of victims of
domestic violence. This is critical,
especially, for those families where

brutality and corruption and to

said Rev. Jesse Jackson, another
speaker at the conference.
What can we do about law
enforcement official brutality?
First, mayors and police chiefs
must make it known that such bru-
tality will not be condoned and will
be punished. Only if these officials
understand that the public will not
tolerate police brutality will they
take steps to end it because of the
power of police unions and the
code of silence which is prevalent
in police forces.
Secondly, t Center

Finally, CCR is hoping to set up
a national clearinghouse to collect
data on police and other law
enforcement official brutality.

information showing that this phe- ©
nomenon is on the rise, but no one

Rose dominates meet
When the J.H. Rose boysT track
team lost out in the Big East Con-
ference meet last week, it hurt. So
they decided they had to make up
for it by winning the East
Regionals, something no Rose team
had ever done.
Saturday afternoon, the
Rampants fulfilled that dream,
_ running away with the champion-
ship.
The Rampants, led by Alvin
Grimes, Micah Spaulding-Dixon
~and Blake Roberson, collected 90
points to easily outdistance ApexTs
74. Jacksonville and New Bern
tied for third with 57 points each.
oITmecstatic,� Rose coach James
Rankins said. oAll week, we new
we could be in the top three, but I
had no idea we could win it.�
oBut the guys kept telling me
that we could win. They wanted to
make up for not winning the con-
ference meet. Some of the other
teams might have had more top
seeds, but I think we had more
heart.�

cial if that three of the events, the
800-meter relay, the 100-meter

hurdles, are all run in succession.
oT feel really good,� Grimes said.
oI had a lot of support from my
teammates; we always stick to-
gether.�
Grimes credited his winning in
the 110 hurdles (14.6 seconds), the
100 ( 10.7 seconds) and the 800-

PCMH will search for
ways to transport non-
emergency patients
GREENVILLE"Thanks to a
state transportation grant, Pitt
County Memorial Hospital and the
N.C. Department of Transporta-
tion will look into ways to better
coordinate non emergency trans-
portation for people needing health
care in eastern North Carolina.
The grant of approximately
$80,000 comes from the Public
Transportation Division of the
DOT andwill fund a two-year pilot
project to improve the coordina-
tion between regional health care
providers and people who need to
come to Greenville to receive care,
said Glyn Young, PCMH adminis-
trator forcontinuity ofcare. Project
leaders hope to get it off the ground
by June.
The funding will pay to hire one
person"who will be a PCMH em-
ployee"to develop a coordinated
health care transportation system
for the region. An advisory board
of people who live in the region
will also be formed. The Regional
Development Institute at East
Carolina University and the DOT
will monitor the projectTs progress
and evaluate it after two years.
Young explained that vans
funded by public agencies typi-
cally bring people from distant
counties to Greenville for care. But
due to funding restrictions, vans
from one county usually are pro-
hibited from transporting people
who live in another county. As an
example, Young said a van travel-
ing from Pasquotank County to
Greenville will pass through sev-
eral other counties which have
people who also need to come here
for care, but the van canTt pick
them up.
Since the 29-county region
of eastern North Carolina which
PCMH servesis a vast region popu-
lated by people who often lack per-
sonal transportation, they often
will call emergency medical ser-
vices to transport them for routine
care, Young said. Or, she added,
they will wait until a routine prob-
lem becomes serious and then call
EMS.
EMS typically do not get reim-
bursed by Medicare or other pay-
ers for non-emergency transport,
Young said. A 20-mile EMS trip
can cost as much as $250, she said,
while the same trip by van costs
only $23. ThatTs why the DOT feels
this project is an important one.
oWe see the coordination of
medical transportation as a way to
improve cost effectiveness and ef-
ficiency of vehicle use,� said
Leonard Holden, a DOT transpor-
tation consultant. oOur number
one priority is to lower the cost of
transportation while meeting the
need. o

Roots of black syphilis epidemic in World War I
Wars bring death, destruction
and disease to populations, and
World War I was the catalyst be-
hind an epidemicof syphilis among
southern Black Americans that
continued for nearly 40 years, ac-
cording to Penn State researchers.
"The social disruption brought
on by World War I was the critical
and unique environmental condi-
tion that ignited an epidemic of
syphilis among Black Americans,"
according to Dr. Toni P. Miles,
professor fo biobehavioral heath
and direstor, Center for Special
Populations, at Penn State.

Using a biohistoric approach to
the problem, Miles and Dr. David
McBride, professor of African and
African-American studies and his-
tory, looked at the cohort of men
born between 1890 and 1899.
These men were youths during
WWI and, for them, veneral dis-
ease became a major health prob-
lem.
World War I was the first time
that large number of African-
Americans entered the military
and served overseas. During the
war, 380,000 blacks served in the
Army and 200,000 served in Eu-
rope.
The researchers note, in a re-
cent issue of "Social Science and
Medicine," that World War I cre-
ated multiple occasions for
propapating syphilis. Opportuni-
ties existed first en route to enlist-
ment, then during induction and
finally upon return from overseas
&
duty.
In 1918, the rates of syphilis
infection were 35.7 per thousand
men and 82 per thousand men for
black and white recruits, respec-
tively. By 1941, the rate for black
recruits was 252.3 per thousand
while the rate for white recruits
was 17.4 per thousand. Between
the wars, something had drasti-
cally affected the rate of syphilis in
the black population.
While military bases have long
been recognized as distribution
points for veneral disease, World
War I was unique because of the
enormous dislocation of men, es-
pecially black men. Although none
of the military men transported to
Europe had syphilis, the general
rate of syphilis in the French popu-
lation was about 10 percent. Most
black soldiers in Europe were not
sent to the front, but handled re-
source distribution and behind-
the-lines support, provided ample
¢
opportunity to contract syphilis.
"Soldiers not only returned home
to wives and girlfriends who be-
came infected, but the olure of the
Khaki" led to promiscuity between
soldiers and young women both
during and directly after the war,�
says Miles. "Syphilis among
women emerged as a public health
issue after the war." ,
By the 1920s and 1930s, the
rates of sexually transmitted dis-
eases in the US among both blacks
and white was high, with a death
rate from syphilis for white men at
about 28 per 100,000 and for black
men at about 98 per 100,000. The
mortality of women was lower, but
black women had a rate of 41 per
100,000 while white women had a
rate of about nine per 100,000.
Sexually transmitted diseases
were also associated with a lower
birth rate among black women and
increased stillbirths.

Nikes: Are they the shoes of death?
Intelligent
marketing keeps
sinister shoes
on top of heap
By Dennis Schatzman
' I was wearing a $150 pair of
white Nike high top tennis shoes
on the night of Nov. 17, 1990.
: ThatTs when I was shot in the
back by a drug dealer who wanted
the pay telephone I was using on
the corner of Georgia Avenue and
Webster Street in Washington D.C.
i The dealer and his entourage
left before they could get my shoes,
a popular pastime in those (as well
as these) days. But one of the para-
medics who arrived at the scene
HidnTt miss/aTstep. I entered the
Washington Hospital Center emer-
gency room sans Nike.
: [was reminded of that incident
in March when the grisly video-
tape was shown on the evening
news of the 39 HeavenTs Gate mem-
bers who committed suicide. All of
them were wearing black low-top
Nikes.
: How ironic that a shoe that
comes with so much negative bag-
gage would be named oNike.�
'-The name come from Greek
mythology: Nike was the goddess
of victory, usually represented as
a winged figure carrying a wreath
and apalm branch. Other than the
shoes, the only reference to Nike
in the 20th century is to the U.S.
Army surface-to-air guided mis-
sile, evolved through several stages
(Nike-Ajax, Nike-Hercules, Nike- .
Zeus) weighing about 2,200 lbs.
with an 80-mile range.
There is no evidence that people
run faster, further or jump higher
if they wear Nikes than say - Con-
verse or Pro Keds. In fact, more
Olympic medals have been won by
people who have worn those Ger-
man shoes, Puma and Adidas than
Nike, the - ahem - shoes of victory.
What is unmistakable about the
Nike brand is that it is the most
expensive mass-produced athletic
shoe on the market, starting from
roughly $90 a pair. It is the shoe of
choice for many inhabitants of the
dirt-poor Black and brown ghettos
that arenTt used to having any-
thing of value. How little ghetto
urchins whose parents can afford
to give their children three square
meals a day can fork up upwards
of $150 for a pair of tennis shoes is
beyond me.
In the early 1980s, I was sitting
on the district court bench in my
hometown of Pittsburgh, PA. as a
judge. Many truancy cases came
across my desk. I remember one
case where this ninth grader had
all failing grades and this kid as
wearing top-of-the-line Nikes in
my courtroom. I asked the mother
who had bought these lovely and
expensive shoes. She said he did. I
made that boy take those shoes off
in my courtroom and walk back to
school, sans Nike or any other foot-
wear. I sent the shoes up to Ida
Dula who ran the Salvation Army
office in the all-Black section of
Homewood-Brushton who
promptly gave them to someone
who had no shoes at all. ITm proud
to say, however, that the boy never
illegally missed another day of
school after that.
But, I digress.
Nike has been making Interna-
tional news of late in otherill repu-
table ways. On March 28, Cable
News Network reported that Nike
makes most of its shoes in Viet-
nam and Indonesia and pays the
worker 20 cents an hour, even less
during the employeesT probation-
ary period. A Latina student of
mine rationalized that these Asian
workers are due this paltry sum of
money because, oThey donTt re-
quire that much money to survive
where they live.� oYea sure,� I told
her.
Perhaps she should explain that
to that thousands of her country-
men and women who cross the
Mexican border each day so they
can live on minimum wage, which
is quadruple what they make in
Nueva, Casa Grandes, Magdelena,
Puerto Penasco and other village
south of the Rio Grande.
Further, I asked her, oif these
people can live comfortably on 20
cents a day, why donTt my Nikes
cost only $45 or less?� No answer
there.
Fortunately for Nike, much of
this negative aura is not widely
known tothe public. Philip Knight,
NikeTs chairman of the board, is
the consummate marketing ge-
nius. Two public relations coups
have helped to keep his company
at the top of the tennis shoe heap
in the nationTs employment, food
and self-esteemed starved ghetto
neighborhoods.
First, Knight landed a deal with
both Jerry Jones and his Dallas
Cowboys, better known as
oAmericaTs Team.� and the parent
National Football League to sup-
ply those members teams with of-
ficial NFL logoed paraphernalia.
Then Knight signed phenom Black
golfer Tiger Woods to a $60 million
promotion deal, ~and damn if he

Intelligent marketing aside,
KnightTs genius does not mask the
fact the Nike, like the boom box
craze of the 1980s, is laughing all
the way to the bank on the backs of
poor little ghetto kids (and para-
medics) who sometime rob, steal
and sell drugs to get the money to
buy vastly overpriced Nike tennis
shoes so they can be oin the mix,�
as it were.
Obviously, something has to be
done about his prostitution of
AmericaTs poor communities un-
der the guise that it is just being
aggressive marketer. ThatTs just
pure horsepucky. In Part Two, you
will see why.

MAY 29 - JUNES, 1997
guided the Association through
turbulent times. For some, it is
remembering his walking the floor
_ atthe annual meetings and pound-
ing the table at times, becoming
emotional about giving back to the
University that he loved so much.
For some, it is remembering how
he always took the lead in annual
giving, challenging each to give
because of the great need of stu-
dents for financial assistance. He
was adamant about having funds
for any deserving student who
wanted to come to A&T. For some,
it is rememberingT his place at
Homecomings and Commence-
ments, for we always looked for
Howard. He had the record of re-
turning to both of these events for
more consecutive years than any
other Aggie. For some, it is re-
membering how serious he was
about our image - always on top of
the things he thought enhanced
and preserved our rich history.
Some of us always will remember
the lectures on our school colors.
Howard, since I know you are lis-
tening, please know that I am
wearmg for you today, the true
Aggie colors -dark blue and an-
tique gold! I will continue to insist
that we keep our colors correct!
For some, it is remembering his
voice of support for the As sociation
while he was a member of the
University Board of Trustees and
the University Foundation Board
of Directors. For some, it is re-
membering him as a mentor. some-
one who was always there to offer
encouragement. Howard, we have
anew bumpersticker that reminds
me of you and I know you would
approve, oThe hassle is worth the
tassel.�
Each of usin the leadership fam-
ily Kas a personal memory that we
bear silently for it has a deeper
inner meaning that we hold sa-
cred. But collectively, for all of us,
our memory is of a man who was a
gentleman, a family man, a frater-
nity man, an effective politician,
and an Aggie who could be classi-
fied as a donorT recruiter, fund
raiser, supporter, dedicated
worker and committed to all that
was good about NC A&T. Our
memory is of a man who loved us
freely without reservation. What-
ever our needs were, he tried to
fulfill them, even bending in his
values depend ing on the impor-
tance of our need. When we were
lonely in leadership positions and
needed him, he was there. If we
needed to talk, he listened, if we
needed to listen, and believe me as
young sters we needed to at times
and he talked. When we needed
the strength of the human touch,
he touched us. He gave to us all of
the things that make life worth
living, like faith, caring, sharing,
joy, kindness, understanding and
love. He issued not just words, but
a spirit that inspired, that mo
tivated, that energized, that illu-
minated, but, most of all. that uni-
fied us. Today we continue to ob-
serve the Aggie family unity he
desired so much.
Surely we will miss him, but our
memories are such pleasant ones
that they will sustain us. We will
use our memories to keep alive
within us that part of Howard
which we knew so well, and we
will cherish the legacy"the legacy
of achampion which he has left for
all of us"that legacy of love and
~honor which was his life and which,
in truth, can never, never die. So
Howard
The memory which you left is a
happy one; You left an afterglow
since your time onearthis no more.
You left a real echo whispered
softly to all of us today so, we
remember the happy times and
bright and sunny days.
O
We are grieved, but our tears
are now dried before the sun by
the many happy memories that
you left now that your life is done.

The complete editorial from El
Diario-La Prensa follows: oIf we
were to take Don King out of the
boxing business, we would see a
group of white males making
money while Blacks and Hispan-
ics kill each other in the ring.�
oThe white males who control
the business seem to have no re-
spect for the boxers and their heri-
tage: they are only interested in
making money off them.
oThe facts show it.�
oLarry Merchant, a white male,
is one of the countryTs foremost
boxing commentators. He has
taken time to make racially offen-
sive remarks against champions
like Mike Tyson and Julio Caesar
Chavez without any consequences
for it.�
oHis latest insult came during
the recent Oscar de la Hoya fight.
The boxer had invited a mariachi
band to play and Merchant said on
the air that the musicians ~suck.T o

Dr. Justice and that of Wilbur Jor-
dan on the West Coast, but major
institutions including three of the
countryTs fgur Black medical
schools, Meharry, Howard and
Charles Drew. And, they weresoon
joined by Georgetown, State Uni-
versity of New York and Yale
UniversityTs School of Medicine.
But, the dirty tricks were not
finished yet; the day after the clini-
cal trials opened, we discovered
that the Internal Revenue Service
had frozen all of the assets of the
Abundant Life Clinic of Washing-
ton, D.C. which I head and later
Dr. Justice was faced with the same
IRS attack, making it nearly im-
possible for us to continue in our
work. If it had not been for the
unprecedented dedication of our
respective staff, the work indeed
would have ground to a halt. Simi-
lar tactics were used on the West
Coast against Dr. Jordan wha
suddenly discovered that his
sources had also dird up and he
was unable to hire the staffneeded
to run the trials in the Los Angeles
area.
But, through the bloody on-
slaught, the work continued, the
workers still perservered, the pa-
tients still enrolled and by March
of 1997,more than 193 patients,
mostly African-Americans, had
been enrolledin the Kemron Clini-
cal Trials and the work still con-
tinues. Within the next 12 months,
the clinical trials should be com-
pleted with a full complement of
565 patients, each followed for six
moths.
The criterion for enrollment in
the trials is simple: The person
must be 18 years or older and if
female, they cannot be pregnant;
they cannot have a T-cell count
(CD4) between 50 and 350 and
must have some of the clinical signs
and symptoms of HIV/AIDS.
While enrolled in the trials they
will be given possibly one of three

The study is odouble-blinded�
which means that neither doctors
nor patients know exactly what
each patient is receiving. The code
for each patient cannot be cracked
until they go off study. In this way,
no bias will be introduced in the
tabulation.
Dr., Justice and myself are con-
fident that the Black community
supports this historiceffort which
lins a major African-inspired
breqakthrough in AIDS research
with the ongoing struggle of Afri-
can-Americans in the Diaspora.
We Black researchers appreciate
the efforts of the Black press who
have kept this story alive from the
beginning. By continuing to pull
together, we are convinced that
the study will yield useful, produc-
tive and positive results. The day
is not far off when low dose oral
alpha interferon will be the main
treatment for HIV/AIDs all over
the world - and guess what, it all
started in Africa.
For those who are interested in
finding out about how to enroll in
the Kemron Clinical Trials please
call our study coordinator,
Kimothy Muhammad at (202) 397-
4080.
