Millions For Reparations Mass Rally And Political Prisoners
by Conrad W. Worrill, The Challenger
The Millions for Reparations Mass rally was held on August 17, in Washington D.C., the 115th anniversary of the birth of the Honorable Marcus Garvey
One of the critical demands of the reparations movement is the release of A frican-in-America political prisoners, an issue that often gets swept aside in
our demands. This should not be. There are many sisters and brothers who have sacrificed much for the liberation of African people in America and are
locked up unjustly in America and are political prisoners.
When we discuss political prisoners, we are talking about othose persons harassed, arrested, framed, and imprisoned because of their relatively peaceful
political activity against the destructive conditions that their people live under.?
The goal of our political prisoners has been oto transfer power from the corrupt and racist business people, government officials, pseudo intellectuals,
policemen, judges, and jailers, and keep them """" """--down to a captive nation of people to be free.? We should
all be aware that Marcus Garvey, Dr. Martin A nee Noly Luther King Jr., the Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Sister
Callie House, and Huey P. Newton spent time REP. $ in jail because they fought for our freedom, just as Brother
Mumia Abu Jamal remains a political prisoner for his uncompromising political journalism
AN ee pa ve L
nF Ree STROYED!
The origin of the campaign that has resulted in the more than 100 women and men who are
locked up in America as political prisoners, many of them African Americans, is related to the osecret
war? that was waged against the Black - Liberation Movement by the FBI.
FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover in the 1960s and *70s led this campaign, an illegal and top-secret
onslaught called the oCounterintelligence (COINTELPRO).program that targeted black activists and
Organizations.? Its goal was to disrupt, dismantle, discredit, and neutralize black groups and
leaders, thus seriously crippling our movement. They were successful. -
That is why it is important for African people in America to join the reparations movement and
help rebuild the Black Liberation Movement. One of our critical demands of the reparations movement
must be the freedom of our political prisoners P and prisoners of war.
The Jericho Movement explains oThe issue ,3//h Pao a. GS Ne of whether or not political prisoners and prisoners of war
exist inside the borders of the United States of | 2 ON oy SEE Se America is one that the government of the United States
has successfully been able to refute. They have / f { been able to deny the existence of political prisoners and
prisoners of war because we have not taken the \¥, battle to them and forced them to address this issue.?
We began publicly addressing the issue of @ our political prisoners, in a massive way. on August 17th,
at the Millions For Reparations Mass Rally and ignited, educated, and inspired our people to expand the
reparations movement to include, as a key component, our political prisoners.
In this context, the Jericho Movement further explains that there oare brothers and sisters. men
and women who, as a consequence of their veroxe.c, political work or organizational affiliations were given
criminal charges, arrested, or captured, tried in * ""- courts and sent to prison. While trying them as criminals,
the government maintained files on them refer- encing their political activities, designed to insure they
remain in prison.? We must expose this tactic by the US government in our demands that our political prisoners be freed.
The reparations movement must be more energetic in demanding and calling for the release of our political prisoners and prisoners of war They includd
Jalil Bottom, Charles Sims Africa, Debbi Sims Africa, Herman Bell, Kojo Sababu, Lorenzo Stone Bey, Mark Cook, Mumia Abu Jamal, Mutulu Shakur, Ojore
Lutalo, Phil Africa, Richard Mafundi Lake, Robert Seth Hayes, Sekou Kambui, Sundiata Acoli, and Jami] Abdullah Al-Amin.
It is only fitting that we remind ourselves that the Honorable Marcus Garvey was one of our first political prisoners targeted by the US government.
indicted on the trumped-up charges of mail fraud and convicted. The masses of our people in the mid 1920s demanded GarveyT $ release from prison. In
1927, more than 100,000 African people demonstrated and protested that he be released. Garvey was released in 1927 and deported-from the United States
as a condition of release.
We must remember Marcus Garvey in our demands to free our political prisoners. They have sacrificed much for us

ITve made it my business to
spend a great deal of time talk-
ing about the importance of
black youth gaining a quality
education; and the National
Urban League has, now as
down through the years,
expended a great deal of effort
in building all sorts of pro-
grams to make educational
opportunity a reality for ever-
expanding segments of Black
America, especially its youth.
That effort is more impor-
tant than ever now in the
Information Age. A sorry des-
tiny indeed awaits those who
haven't learned and donTt have
the skills to keep learning. We
say in innumerable ways that

But we're also fully aware
that the quest for opportunity
and equality will prove elusive
if African Americans are beset
by poor health. Children who

are chronically sick struggle
academically because they so
often feel out of sorts or miss so
much school __ altogether.
Parents who are frequently ill
themselves have trouble hold-
ing steady jobs and incur stag-
gering medical expenses. If
their youngsters are sickly,
they miss work a lot and tempt
their employers to replace
them.
In general, African
Americans are prone to certain
chronic and infectious diseases
that impair our productivity,
increase our economic depend-
ence and shorten our natural
life spans. These include such
ailments as diabetes, heart dis-
ease, high blood pressure, cer-
tain cancers, and, all too sadly,
HIV/AIDS.
Some of these crippling dis-
parities are attributable to per-
sonal lifestyle choices, eating
habits and adverse environ-
mental factors; and changing
them is drawing more and more
attention from within and out-
side the black community.
That is all to the good,
because, if when it comes to
education, we rightly trumpet
that oAchievement Matters,?
then we need to make it equal-

that more black Americans
practice what we preach.
Research shows convincingly
that healthier lifestyles, fre-
quent exercise and timely phys-
ical checkups make a huge dif-
ference in warding off debilitat-
ing and dangerous diseases.
But in this arena, as in so
many others, the burden is not
ours alone to bear. The govern-
ment tolerates a dysfunctional
system of health care that
treats minorities as second-
class citizens.
Take the issue of access for
starters. As recently as 1999,
there were 43 million people
without health insurance,
including twenty-one percent of
all African Americans.
Or, take quality. A recent
study by the National
AcademiesT Institute of
Medicine found that blacks and
other minorities receive lower
quality health care than do
whites.
And finally, take the issue of
affordability. Working people
who donTt receive health cover-

age on the job seldom can afford
it on their own. So they're
forced to rely for basic care on
overworked emergency rooms
and under-funded public health
clinics. ThatTs one reason few
urban hospitals are on sound
economic footing these days.
The ripples of this spread out-
ward as insurance companies
exit the business by jacking up
fees and scaling back coverage,
causing physicians to complain
bitterly about faceless bureau-
crats who arenTt even doctors
second-guessing their treat-
ment decisions and squeezing

Because poor health impedes

this arena with our accustomed
mix of direct services, research,

TheT first component of the

to help persuade African
Americans that oPrevention

ness initiative that we
launched recently with gener-
ous support from the Centers
for Disease Control.
As policy advocates, we
intend to work with other "
groups to try to persuade "

And we intend to use our
reach into black communities
to convince more African

of themselves, and to show
them how they can, affordably,
take better care of themselves.
But AmericaTs health care
system is in shambles and it
cannot be fixed a solely by
those of us outside of govern-
ment. The health-care-related
problems of poor people, work-
ing people and people of color
cannot be solved or significant-
ly reduced by health care
providers and private insurers
on their own. The federal gov-

WITNESS FOR JUSTICE
BY
BERNICE
POWELL
JACKSON
When I left the dentistTs
office today and tried to make
»,. my next appointment his assis-
tant caid they'd have to call me
back because the computers
were down. I asked her, oWhat
did we do before computers??
We laughed, remembering
appointment books, carbon
paper and such.
But not having access to
computers and the internet is
no laughing matter. For the
next generation it may be the
difference between having a job
or not. It may be the difference
between being able to support
yourself and your family or not.
Indeed, today computer litera-
cy may be just as crucial to sur-
vival as being able to read and
write was a century ago. Many
assembly line workers today,
for example, must know how to
use computers, as must type-
One more river to cross:
setters, paint mixers and even
some hotel cleaners, who punch
into a computer when they fin-
ish cleaning a room.
But knowing how to use a
computer is not the only skill
neceséary for life in the 21st
century. One must also know
how to navigate the internet,
where there is almost unlimit-
ed information, often lower
prices and all kinds of training
available.
Great progress has been
made on making the internet
available to the American pub-
lic. But, clearly, there is a long
way to go. It seems that the
U.S. Senate has understood
that in that it has voted to pre-
serve two programs that com-
bat the odigital divide? " the
disparity between those who
have access to the internet and
those who do not. One pro-
gram, the Department of
Education's Community
Technology Centers, provides
matching grants that create
technology access and training
facilities for disadvantaged
Americans. These centers are
located in communities across
the nation and provide comput-
er access for mothers on wel-
fare to learn new software
packages that will help them
get jobs: for children to learn
computer games and to do
reports and other school pro)-
ects: and for immigrants to
learn English and prepare for
their citizenship exams. They
help address the 60 percentage
point digital divide for young
people ages 10-17, based on
their family income. Only
about 30% of young people in
the lowest income categories
use computers at home, com-
pared to more than 90% in the
highest.
A second program funded by
the Senate is the Department
of CommerceTs Technology
Opportunities Program (TOP).
TOP provides matching grants
for demonstration projects to
use technology in innovative
ways to solve social problems
and improve community access
to telecommunications. Many
police cars have laptop comput-
ers because of this program,
rural and poor African
American churches in
Louisiana are now connected
by computer because of it and
many Americans are now pro-
tected by a hurricane warning
system funded by it.
The irony is that because of
the success of these programs,
the Bush administration has
The digital
recommended that they be
eliminated; arguing that the
digital divide no longer exists.
While there have been real
increases in the use of the
internet by poor people, those
in rural areas, the disabled and
African Americans and
Hispanic Americans, they all
still lag far behind. But others
have argued that just declaring
that the digital divide isT over
doesnTt make it so. oWe're a
nation online?? asked Larry
Irving, former Commerce
Department undersecretary,
noting that 60% of African
Americans donTt have internet
access, nor do 70% of Hispanic
Americans. oItTs one thing to
say that there is a job that
should be done and the govern-
ment shouldn't do it .. . itTs
another to say that the divide is
solved.?
But job preparation and aca-
demic achievement are not the
only reasons for poor people,
people of color, those who live
in rural areas and the disabled
to have access to the internet.
The internet is about access to
information and as media con-
solidation continues at a fright-
ening pace, it is imperative
that other voices and points of
divide
view be available to more
Americans. Moreover, poor
people, more than any others,
need access to many of the
lower prices which the internet
provides for all kinds of goods
and services.
Finally, as Don Wycliff of the
Chicago Tribune _ recently
wrote, oPart of being poor "
maybe the worst part " is feel-
ing excluded. Left out. Left out
of societyTs important business;
left out its conversations.? The
digital divide leaves out many
Americans who have much to
contribute to the marketplace
and to the nation. Thank good-
ness the U.S. Senate is doing
something about it. Even
though the Senate has author-
ized the funding of these two
programs to address the digital
divide, it is important to stay
vigilant as it goes through the
budget process. Bernice Powell

George W. Bush and con-

now that Bush has signed into
law a bill he says will crack

tect investors and provide
strong oversight of the account-

ADC"Aid to Dependent
Corporations. The federal gov-
ernment spends more than
$100 billion a year on direct
subsidies and tax breaks to
businesses, according to statis-
tics compiled by conservative,
progressive and libertarian
think tanks. By contrast, Aid

Children cost less than $15 bil-
lion a year
The US. Department of
cy
Corporate welfare kings
AgricultureTs market promo-
tion program shells out more
than $100 million a year in just
one program designed to help
U.S. companies advertise their
products overseas. Some of the
nationTs top companies"
McDonalds, General Mills,
CampbellTs Soup, Sunkist
Growers, Ernest and Julio
Gallo wineries, MillerTs beer
and Pillsbury"have accepted
federal dollars to market their
products overseas.
As Rep. Dick Armey (R-
Texas) once said, oI wonder
about our commitment to
deficit reduction if we cannot
take Betty Crocker, Ronald
McDonald and the Pillsbury
Doughboy off the dole.?
But Armey has supported
dole in the form of farm subsi-
dies. According to the Cato
Institute in Washington, oSince
1985, the federal farm price
support programs have cost
U.S. consumers and taxpayers
some $370 billion"enough
money to purchase all the
farmland in 41 states.?
Unlike the early days, when
the subsidies went to strug-
gling farmers, todayTs pay-
ments are more likely to go to
corporate conglomerates. For
instance, the federal sugar pro-
gram provides more than $1
million each to the owners of
the top 33 sugar plantations in
the country.
Taxpayers are also getting
fleeced at the local and TA
level.
According to oTime? maga-
zine:
* In 1989, Illinois gave $240
million in economic incentives
to Sears, Roebuck & Co. to keep
its 5,400 jobs and corporate
headquarters in state, a sub-
sidy of $44,000 per employee;
* In 1991, Indiana gave
United Airlines $451 million in
economic incentives to build an
aircraft maintenance facility in
the state, a cost of $73,00 per
job;
* Alabama, in 1993, gave
Mercedes-Benz $253 million to
build an assembly plant near
Tuscaloosa, Ala. The 1,500
workers were subsidized at a
rate of $169,000 per job;
* In 1997, Pennsylvania
gave $307 million in economic
incentives to Kvaerner ASA, a
Norwegian engineering and
construction firm, to open a
shipyard in Philadelphia,
employing 950 people at a sub-
sidy rate of $323,000 for each
job.
The rationale offered for cor-
porate welfare is that when the
government subsidizes compa-
nies, they will provide more
jobs and, by extension, more
taxes to federal and _ local
authorities. But it hasn't
worked out that way. oTime?
magazine points out that
Fortune 500 companies ohave
erased more jobs than they
have created this past decade,
and yet they are the biggest
beneficiaries of corporate wel-
fare.?
In the case of Philadelphia,
the magazine computed that
even if each job paid $50,000
and each worker paid an aver-
age of $6,700 in local and state
taxes. At that rate, it would
take nearly a half-century to
recoup the money lost to create
the new job.
If members of Congress
wanted to show some moxie,
they'd end the practice of
adding pork-barrel projects to
legislation to help some pet |
project back home. For more
than a decade, Sen. John
McCain has been waging a
lonely battle to curb this prac-
tice. He goes through each
major bill and publicizes the
opork? packed inside.
After examining the 2000
defense appropriation bill, the
Arizona senator found oover $6
billion worth of pork.? oNo cred-
ible budget process can with-
stand such abuse indefinitely
and still retain the level of
legitimacy needed to properly
represent the interests of the
nation as a whole,? he said.
McCain is right. But I donTt
expect the lawmakers to heal
themselves. Listening to
George W. Bush and members
of Congress decry corporate
abuse is akin to hearing Jim or
Frank Perdue complain about
death rate of chicken. Perdue
has a much stronger case.

not seek re-election as North
Carolina's Ist | Congressional
District representative. Therefore,
voters must decide whether they
want to progress or regress.
State Sen. Frank Ballance will
continue the rich tradition of
leadership and service Clayton
championed. Indeed, "Frank
Ballance" is a household name in
eastern North Carolina.
Why are so many people rallying
behind Ballance? Well, this state
legislator has 18 years of on-the-
job experience. thanks to confident
voters.
When an employer is dissatisfied
with an employee's job perform-
ance, he contemplates dismissal.
Contrariwise, an employee who
performs well and operates within "
the confines of company policy
typically will be rewarded.
Voters have employed Ballance as
their state legislator for numerous
terms. Now, it's time for an
honorable promotion to the United
States Congress.
Due to the devastation of
Hurricane Floyd and a faltering
economy In North Carolina, an
experienced legislator is crucial
toward building voter confidence
and returning the district to a sense
of "normalcy." Trial and error
representation is too risky. We
must bank on Frank.
Why is a seasoned leadership so
vital for economic growth and
prosperity for District 1? Ballance,
former chairman of the Ist
Congressional District Democratic
Party. supports economic develop-
ment. As vice chairman of the
Rural Development Committee,
Ballance has access to resources to
create jobs and promote job train-
ing for those lacking skills to
compete in an increasingly com-
petitive and technological environ-
ment. Ballance, born on a Bertie
County farm, is a_ friend of
hard-working farmers struggling to
feed their families and keep their
heads above water.
Space doesn't allow a litany of
accomplishments achieved " by
Ballance. We can ill-afford trial-
and-error leadership. Instead, we
deserve proven leadership.
Unequivocally. Ballance epito-
mizes this brand of leadership.

Section 8 resident Monica Daniels to rely on
HUD and GHA for subsidized housing.

DanielsT vocabulary.
The amiable Greenville native, who was
raised in New York, left her job as a legal
secretary to get a four-year college education.
It culminated on May 19 when Daniels
received her diploma and a bachelor's degree
in social work from Barton College in
Wilson.
"They told everyone to hold their applause

and learned that almost all her previous work
was acceptable. She enrolled full-time in
September of 1999. College is hard enough for
anyone, let alone a single mother. Daniels commuted to Wilson every weekday while her
girls, ages 7 to 12, were also in class. An after-school program, Operation Sunshine,
helped until she got home. "I had to work my tail off," says Daniels. "There was a lot of
reading and a lot of studying." Her biggest challenge came almost immediately, thanks to
Hurricane Floyd. "The flood kept me from driving to Wilson, then they used the kidsT

Barton and her professors rallied to help her, letting her study and work from home until

of people who are willing to help you if you're trying to help yourself."
There were other trying times, but Daniels got unwavering support from at least one GHA
source: Family Self- Sufficienc'y Director Agatha Moore. "Quitting is not a word that she

After that: new housing. Says Daniels, "It's my goal to get off all public assistance. | want

Reason to smile: Monica Daniels has earned the college degree that she expects to bring

A Deceived Mind
Greetings,
We have been doing a
study on Adam and Eve and
how Satan entered the mind
of Eve to cause her to
disobey the commandment
of God. The Apostle Paul
gives us insight as to how
Satan entered the mind of
Eve. He pinpointed how
Satan gained control of
manTs mind through decep-
tion. He told Timothy it
was not Adam who was
deceived, but the woman
who was deceived and de-
luded and fell into trans-
gression (1 Timothy 2:14).
Through deception which
entered Eve's mind, she
vielded her yell, rebelled
and sinned agains God.
Paul revealed how de-
ception takes place in our
minds. He wrote to the

RALEIGH -- Pitt County
Schools was honored with a
2002 Employment Security
Commission (ESC) Employer
Award June 26 during an
evening reception at the
North Carolina State
University Faculty Club.
ESC Chairman Harry E.
Payne Jr. presented the award
to. Michael D. Priddy,
Superintendent of Schools.
Pitt County Schools was one
of 81 emplovers receiving an
award for exceptional contri-
bution to the North Carolina
economy through new busi-
ness, business expansion, and
partnership with the ESC
oThe businesses recognized
with this award reflect some
of the best and brightest in
North Carolina,? Payne said.
oEach of them share in our
goal of keeping workers pro-
ductive and shaping our
State's economic " success
through expansion and an
effective partnership " with
zyovernment.?
Pitt County Schools has had a
Sole Source Agreement for
more than ten years to hire all
non-teaching positions
through the Greenville ESC
Office. Approximately 287
employees were _hired
through the ESC in 2001 -- a
significant boost to the
county's economy. Pitt
County Schools is a member
of the local Job Service
Employer Committee and is
very supportive of ESC. The
school system uses ESCTs
Occupational Analysts to
conduct post-exit interviews,
and to develop job descrip-
tions and classifications.
The ESC Employer Awards,
first given in 1987, are
sponsored by the ESC and
the State Job Service
Employer Committee (JSEC),
one of North CarolinaTs larg- |
est employer associations.
JSEC was started in North
Carolina in 1975 as a dy-
namic public-private sector
partnership to improve ESC
service delivery. There are
currently JSEC committees in
each of NCTs 100 counties
and more than 1,500 mem-
bers statewide.

Corinthians: "But (now) I
am fearful lest that even as °
the serpent beguiled Eve by
his cunning, so your minds
may be corrupted and se-
duced from wholehearted
and sincere and pure devo-
tion to Christ." (Il
Corinthians 11:3 TAB).
When God placed
Adam and Eve in the
Garden of Eden, their
minds were perfect... 100
percent clean, 100 percent
free, and 100 percent victo-
rious. Their spirit, soul,
mind, will, emotions, de-
sires, and thoughts were in
perfect harmony with God.
Their minds were totally
free from any evil thought
or unrighteousness.
God created them in
His own image and gave
them the power of a free
will. They were given
power, authority, and do-
minion over everything
upon the earth. He placed
the tree of knowledge of
good and evil in the garden
and told them not to eat of
it or they would die. They
had the free will to choose
to obey God and live; or to
use their will to rebel,
disobey God and die.
Satan had absolutely no
control over Adam and Eve.
He did not have the power
DECEIVE Eve so_ she
would use her free will to
choose to disobey God.
Satan, working through
the serpent, attacked Eve's
mind. He deceived her by
planting a delusion in her
mind. He made the pleas-
ure and consequences of
eating the forbidden fruit
appear to be something it
was not. Eating the forbid-
den fruit was disobedience
against God and the conse-
quence was death. Satan
deceived Eve by lying to
her that she would not die,
but would become wise like
God.
Eve told the serpent:
"We may eat of the fruit of
the trees of the garden,
except of the fruit of the tree
which is in the middle of the
garden. God has said, you
shall not eat of it, neither
shall you touch it, lest you
die." (Genesis 3:2-3 TAB).
Now, listen to Satan's
delusion... the serpent told
her... "You shall not surely
die. For God knows that in
the day you eat of it your
eyes will be opened, and
you... will be as God,
knowing the difference be-
tween good and evil, and
blessing and calamity."
(Genesis 3:4-5 TAB).
Eve LISTENED to
ACCEPTED it and
ENTERTAINED it in her
mind. Her heart and mind
became OBSESSED... con-
trolled by this delusion of
Satan that she would be-
come like God, knowing
good and evil and would (~
not die. She YIELDED her
will and acted on the delu-
sion Satan had planted in
her mind. She used her will
to rebel against God and
sinned.
Eve could not have
been deceived if she had not
allowed Satan access into
her mind. She had the
power of a free will to
either reject or accept the
delusion Satan was trying to
plant in her mind. If we are
deceived today, it is because
we allow ourselves to be
deceived. The steps Eve
took in allowing her mind
to be deceived are the same
steps Christians are taking
today in being deceived.
They are:
LISTENING to Satan's lies
and delusions
ACCEPTING and ENTER-
TAINING Satan's lies and
delusions in their hearts and
minds
YIELDING their wills and
acting on the lies and delu-
sions Satan has planted in

The story taken from the

She welcomes Jesus and
His followers to her home in
Bethany. She hurries to
arrange a comfortable seat
for Jesus and then to bring a
cool drink to each of her
guests. She nods to Mary
who fills the basin near the
door with water, then takes
a towel and begins to wash
each guest's feet. JesusT
followers seat themselves
around the large room, chat-
ting quietly about events of
recent days. Villiagers be-
gin to crowd the doorway,
anxious to come in and
listen to great Rabbi, Jesus.
This is not his first visit to
Bethany. The townsfolk
have heard some of His
surprising stories _ before.
Perhaps He will tell them
more. A few edge in and sit
down outside the ring of
disciples. It's possible that
both Martha and Mary take
their places at JesusT feet to
learn from Him. (Luke
10:39 in the NKIV says that
Mary also sat at Jesus' feet.)

Back to School Safety
"As children head back to
school, the City of
Greenville Police Depar-
tment would like to give
" parents, teachers. and care-
givers tips on making this a
safe occasion," commented
Police Chief Joe
Simonowich.
Adults should remember to
follow all traffic rules, espe-
cially in school zones and in
all neighborhoods. This
time of year, students are
excited about returning to
school and will be walking
or riding bicycles through-
out the City. They may not
always be aware of traffic or
stop at stop signs and lights.
Follow the speed limit and
be extra cautious at stop
signs and lights before en-
tering the intersection.
Parents should work out a
safe route to school.
Choose the quickest way
with the fewest streets to
cross and use intersections
with crossing guards, pedes-
trian cross walks or side-
walks. Stay away from
places where there are not
many people _"_ around.
Whenever possible, children
should walk to and from
school with a friend, neigh-
bor, brother, or sister.
"If the child bikes or skates
to school, they should wear
a helmet and obey all traffic

signals. This includes not
crossing the street against a
red light, even if you see no
traffic approaching and
walking your bike through
the intersection when it is
green," remarked Chief
Simonowich.
"The most important thing a
child should know is his or
her phone number and ad-
dress, their parentsT work
number or the number of
another trusted adult. They
should also know how to
dial 911 in case of an
emergency,? said Chief Joe
Simonowich. "If your chil-
dren are alone after school,
have them check in with a
parent or a neighbor as soon
as they walk inside. Make
sure children know to tell
their parents or friends if
they have to stay late after
school."
"It would also help the
police department if chil-
dren would inform their
parents or a teacher if
someone they don't know is
hanging around the school,
vandalism or graffiti is oc-
curring, or anything else
that is strange or makes
them uneasy. The
Greenville City Police
Department wants to ensure
that the beginning of the
school year is safe for
everyone," remarked Chief
Simonowich.

In Memory Of Mrs. Beulah Louise Whitfield Mebane
Edited by Cynethia Griffin, The Minority Voice
T | Those whom we love do indeed leave us, and when we
lose them, no spoken words can lessen our grief. But
Beulah Louise Whitfield Mebane can never leave us. The
strength of her presence, the firmness of her convictions,
the warmth of her love - these are ours always, interfused
with our thoughts and blended with our lives.
On December 6, 1924, a bubbly, bouncing baby girl was
born in Greenville, North Carolina to the late George
- ** Roscoe and Esther Lona Cherry Whitfield. The fifth of
~"* six children was christened Beulah Louise. The family re-
sided in the downtown area of Greenville. At the age of eight, Beulah united with the
Sycamore Hill Missionary Baptist Church through baptism. She was active int he Sunday
School and the BYPU. As an adult, she joined the J. A. Nimmo Senior Choir (formerly
the Senior Choir). which provided her favorite hymns for her homegoing celebration.
Having attended the Greenville City Schools, Beulah graduated from the Greenville
Industrial High School in 1941. Upon completion, she continued her education as a
Bennett obelle? at Bennett College in Greensboro, North Carolina. She earned a Bachelor
of Arts degree in Home Economics Education in 1945. BeulahTs lifelong teaching career
began at South Ayden High School in Pitt County, where she taught from 1945-1959.
She taught at H. B. Sugg High School in 1959. Her tenure continued at W. H. Robinson
Union School and Winterville High School and ended at D. H. Conley High School on
July 1, 1982. Beulah was humbled by and prideful of the studentsT lives that she touched.
Inspired by the teachings of her father, G. R. Whitfield, for whom a Pitt County
Elementary School was named, the Mebanes established a scholarship in his memory at
Bennett College. It is in this spirit that the family requested donations be given to his

Black Males Underrepresented in
Val Atkinson
Tom Wright, the Director of
the Office of State
Personnel, wants to trans-
form state workers into a
leaner meaner administra-
tive fighting machine. He
seems to think that if we
could get state employees
and their managers to focus
on work out-come, produc-
tivity and efficiency we ~
would become a_ leaner
meaner administrative fight-
ing machine. And | agree
with him. The big question
is "How do we do that"?
How do we take seasoned
veterans of state govern-
ment and turn them around.
Some state employees don't
need turning around; they're
already eagerly awaiting
change. But there are those
who came to state govern-
ment as high school gradu-
ates when the farms failed
in places like Johnston
County and have managed
to move up the ranks and
become a part of the upper
management corp. Some of
these are hard working man-
agers, but too many of them
place their primary focus on
employee control instead of
job management. And most
of these managers are white
males. African American
males are woefully under-
represented in state govern-
ment management positions.
Many find themselves with
advanced degrees working
for high school graduates.
Nellie Riley, manager of the
Equal Opportunity Services
office at the Office of State
Personnel, has recognized
the problem and enacted
workshops and focus groups
to look at the problem, but
we'll have to wait to see if
any of her recommendations
are enacted.
Black male representation is
notably missing in the
midlevel ranks. In a labor-
intensive agency, section or
unit, these are the ranks that
employees generally move
into after amassing several
years of experience as a
worker . African American
males are not generally pro-
moted as quickly to lead
worker, foreman or supervi-
sory roles very often in
these sittings. Black males
tend to do better at the
executive level where pro-
fessional degrees are re-
_ State Government Positions
quired. But the mid-level
management range is where
the rubber meets the road.
The mid-level manager
makes hiring and firing de-
cisions and that's where the
process all begins.
In too many labor intensive
jobs Black males take on an
air of docility to convince
their supervisors that they*
are manageable and are no
physical threat to the organi-
zation. Unfortunately this
docile behavior does not
convert to supervisory or
management promotions.
Often times it's the aggres-
sive white male who gets the
nod for promotion. It's un-
fortunate that the very be-
havior that is required to
maintain a job is the very
behavior that complicates
and sometimes denies pro-
motions.
| think it's time for Mr.
Wright to step in and have a
mind-melt with Nellie Riley
and come up with some
interventions that are fair to
all. It's about time that hard
working state employees
stop suffering from a culture
that died - or should have
died - several decades ago.

YOUR NIGHT JUST GOT A LITTLE MORE INTERESTING.
Beatrice Maye
TO THE EDITOR,
The road to success is
paved with failure. Anyone
who's anybody has failed,
and knowing that can be
encouraging and uplifting.
Here are some of the famous
successes that were once
failures, losers, dropouts,
flunkies, suckers, saps,
schlemiels and schlimazels.
Remember, everyone falls
down, and you're not a
failure until you don't get
back up.
Peter Benchley was fired
as a speechwriter for
Richard Nixon, but he went
on to write the best-selling
novel JAWS.

Michael Jordan was. cut
from the high school's var-
sity basketball team as a
sopliomore. He became,one
of the greatest basketball
players in the history of the
sport.
Katie Courie was banned
from reading news reports
on the air to the president of
CNN, who insisted she had
an irritatiing, high-pitched,
squeaky voice. Today she is
a popular host on the "Today
Show",
George W. Bush pleaded
guilty in 1976 to drunk
driving in Maine. Today
he's the 43rd president of the
United States in 2000.
Rosa Parks, 41-year-old
seamstress, was arrested and
fined $14.00 for refusing to
give her seat to a white man
on a bus in Montgomery,
Alabama in 1957. Now she
paved the course for Civil
Rights in the United States.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was
forced at age 14 to surrender
his bus seat to a white
passenger and stood for the
next 90 miles, but he be-
came leader of the American
Civil RightsTMovement, de-
livered his famous "I Have a
Dream" speech on the steps
of &he Lincoln Memorial
before an audience of more
than 200,000 people in
1963, and was awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

2. There's not enough time.
Between jobs, day care and

4. Kids and parents get sick.
It's hard enough being a

5. Nobody can be both mom

that address those important issues that
affect our Citizens in the 8th District every
day. Rouse goes on further to claim that the |
current representative of the 8th District has
failed citizens by not bringing forth ideas to
adequately address the needs of citizens still
struggling to recover from the devastation
left by Hurricane Floyd, or any new ideas to
counteract the loss and lack of high
wage-paying jobs in the counties of the 8th
District.
Other issues that prompted Rouse to
re-enter the race include the absence of
major highway projects, the skyrocketing
costs associated with basic healthcare and
the the need to improve access to affordable
healthcare, and the burden taxpayers have to
bear to house inmates in North Carolina's
jails and prisons.
