Letter to the Editor
Ms. Margaret Hardee,
Supervisor
Pitt County Board of Elections
Post office Box 305
Greenville, N.C. 27835-0305
Dear Margaret:
I have been informed that the
United States Justice Depart-
ment has objected to the new
election plan for the Pitt County
Board of Commissioners which
was enacted by the 1987 General
Assembly. Because the six/three
plan has not been precleared as
required by Section 5 of the
Voting Rights Act, it cannot be
implemented.
The current method of electing
the Board of Commissioners "
six members elected at-large but
required to reside in particular
districts " remains in effect. For
now, you should accept filing ac-
cording to that method of
election.
As you know, a lawsuit has
been filed under Section 2 of the
Voting Roghts Act seeking to in-
validate the current at-large
method of election. Until an order
is entered in that action,
however, it remains the valid

method of election. I will keep
you informed of develpments in
that matter.
Please let me know if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
THARRINGTON, SMITH &

point, are white and black
teachers teaching our children
the importance of who they are
and where they came from. Are
black students being taught that
they are from Africa and the pro-
ud heritage of their people in
Africa? African-American
children need teachers to include
heritage with reading, writing,
and numbers. It helps a little

also to know who you are and

about it.
Editorial .. .
Municipal response
challenge; part IIT
In December, 1960, the Green-
ville Ministerial Association saw
the need for the establishment of
an organization to promote com-
munications between the Negro
and the white races. A Social Ac-
tion Committee was appointed to
establish such an organization.
During early 1961 attempts were
made by this Social Action Com-
mittee to create a new associa-
tion from the existing white and
Negro ones. However, the Negro
leadership felt that the existing
dual organization arrangement
better served the needs of the
community. The Negro associa-
tion was primarily interested in
educating the Negro clergy
through weekly discussions.
Late in 196] the Social Action
Committee decided to attempt to
establish an autonomous biracial
organization. First, the group
met with and exchanged ideas
with the Lenior Biracial Commit-
tee in Kinston. Next, each
member of the Social Action
Committee invited a layman to
meet with the group to further
discuss the creation of a biracial
organization. After several
meetings, a list of white people
was drawn up to comprise a
larger discussion group. In
February, 1962, a group of 22
white citizens accepted an invita-
tion for more discussions of the
idea. After two meetings in
February and March, 1962, it
seemed obvious that the white
community was willing to move
prudently in the area of race rela-
tions. Someone was appointed to
contact the Negroes and ask
them to compose a group which
would later merge into a biracial
organization. This person who
volunteered to contact the
Negroes failed in his undertaking
for almost a year; but in
February, 1963, the chairman of
the Social Action Committee call-
ed a meeting to hear a progress
report. The report was that the
Negro community was ready to
participate in a biracial organiza-
tion. Within two days, the Pitt
County Interracial Committee
was organized with ten Negroes
and ten white persons. This group
has been meeting reguarly since.
The Pitt County Interracial
Committee is entirely voluntary
and is not sponsored nor sanction-
ed by any agency. Ad hoc com-
mittees or subcommittees are ap-
pointed as situations or projects
warrant. Such committees are
composed of an equal number of
whites and Negroes.
Three subcommittees have had
long and active lives. One is a
subcommittee which has discuss-
ed desegregation with interested
businesses. The second subcom-
mittee is one working to establish
an annual human relations in-
stitute in the community. The

M. OL. King holiday sc.
How many of you worked on
January 18, 1988? That was the
day to recognize the birth of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. A holi-
day on the national level,
January 18 was more than a day
to recognize a man, it recogniz-
ed a movement, propelled by the
dream of Martin Luther King to
establish an American Society
where all men and women are
truly created equal.
January 18 was the culmina-
tion of a long, hard battle, one
where legislators and civil rights
activists with Mrs. Coretta
Scott King for recognition
of the civil rights movement and
the gains it brought for minorities
in thhis country.
For nearly 15 years, supporters
of a national holiday com-
memorating the birthday
oSp ehes lawmakers to pass a
Luther King, Jr. in every session
of congress after his assassina-
tion, members introduced
¢ the holiday.
Finally, on November 2, 1983
President Reagan signed the Bill
establishing the third Monday in
January as the King holiday,
beginning in 1986, Dr. King is on-
ly the second American to be
honored with a national legal
holiday.
After signing the bill, President
Reagan commented ~. . . traces of
bigotry still mar America. So
each year on Martin Luther
KingTs Day we not only should
becall Dr. King, but rededicate
ourselves to the commandments
he believed in and sought to live
every day.�
January 18, 1988 was a day of
recognition, celebration and
rededication to the visions of an
immortal leader.
Yet many of us worked on
January 18 (for a variety of
reasons); we eer be employed
by a company which not
to recognize Martin Luther
KingTs Birthday as a holiday and
will not pay us for our absence.
The holiday may be optional or
we may have to give up another
employee holiday in order to
have missed January 18.
Few men have done as much as
the late Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. but the prevalent attitude
towards the King Holiday shows
us that there is still a lot of work
left to do. A passive observance
of the King7s holiday is not suffi-
cient for the man or the move-
ment. If we didn7t take this day
to remember Dr. king and his
achievements and were thankful
for how er all benefitted, then the
long fight for recognition will not
have been in vain.
But if we succumb to the
disinterest of the majority of our
community"CorettaTs 15 year ef-
fort will become worthless.
If your employer doubted the
importance of Martin Luther
King, Jr. in your life, tell him. If
he/she needs justification for
your beliefs, show him/her. In-
vite them to go with you to an
observance ceremony at a
church or civic hall, But most of
all, if he is truly important to you,
stand up fro your right to
him. Stand up for

THURSDAY JANUARY 14-21, 1988
Tony BrownTs Buy Freedom
campaign held first general
meeting on January 22nd
The Eastern North Carolina
Business Network, Greenville-
based member organization of
Tony BrownTs Buy Freedom
campaign, held its first general
meeting Friday, January 22 in
the Greenville Middle School
Cafeteria. But Freedom is a con-
cept originated and developed by
Tony Brown of ~Tony BrownTs
Journal�T for the purpose of en-
couraging their members, black
businesses, to patronize each
other.
~Focusing on Black Network-
ingTT was Friday nightTs theme,
and Muhammed Nubee, CEO and
Founder of Earth Fragrances of
Raleigh, was the highlight of the
evening. A Raleigh native, Nubee
gave the fifty member audience
his account of his companyTs
beginnings. From March 1984 to
December of that same year, this
multi-level marketing business
grossed over $1 million is sales
after starting with an initial in-
vestment of only $500. Nubee
recalled spending all his free
time while working for the state
(NC) full-time planning business
in his living room floor.
Nubee spoke of success as ~for-
ward progress that you want to
make.T He called the black
business Owners present ~suc-
cessful� because they had open-
ed their own business.
The purpose of NubeeTs presen-
tation was to forewarn en-
trepreneurs, both actual and
potential, of some of the pitfalls
entailed in strating a business.
Nubee warned us to anticipate
our companyTs growth, to have
plans to accomodate such, and
that failure to under-capitalize
can create problems as well. He
stressed the need to ~focusTT, and
the Need for a ~lot of persistence
and... preserverance.�T
Nubee mentioned how some
people say that you need to be an
MBA before you start a business.
~If your desire is big enough,
you'll learn everything you'll
need to knowTT, he encouraged.
He emphasized ~cultivating your
desireT to succeed and having
faith in your effort.
Attitude was also discussed.
The ~power of�T oneTs ~own think-
ingTT was explored. He continued,
~Meet each problem as a
challenge. Look for the oppor-
tunity in that situation (problem)
for growth. Every problem has a
solution.�
He advised that ~We all have
potential.TT We must ~learn to be
creative, imaginative . . . Let
yourself go! DonTt be afraid to
brainstorm. Come up with the
avenue to get you where you want
to be.�
And at last, Nubee concluded
by calling us, Afro-Americans
wealthy people. Looking at our
statistics on our buying power,
and recollecting our heritage, he
is right.
A question and answer period
followed discussing financing,
overcoming high and low periods
in your business, acquiring ap-
propriate professional services "
accounting, banks, attorneys "
on your companyTs level.
Members of the audience
represented many facets of black

counting services, industrial

June 4-5 on WITN TV-7.
Eastern North Carolinians
pledged more than $107,000 to the
hospital during last yearTs
telethon. Besides personal and
corporate contributions, support
came from such diverse events
as'a male beauty pageant, a day
care. association ~bunny hop,TT
and a benefit dance sponsored by
a country and western band.
~Almost anything you can im-
agine could qualify as a telethon
special event,TT said Beth Nelson,
co-chairman of the special events
committee with Judy Sunder.
~A bake sale, walk-a-thon, pan-
cake breakfast, fish fry, auction
or raffle all come to mind as
possible ways to raise money for
childrenTs programs at the
hospital.�
Sunder said the committee is
hoping to register even more
youth-centered events this year.
Last year, for example, Rocky
MountTs Cub Scout Pack 628 col-
lected $263 for the telethon in a
neighborhood canvass.
~That was a great example of
healthy children doing something
for less fortunate children,� said
Sunder. ~We think that is impor-
tant.�
Nelson and Sunder, both
Greenville residents, are urging
groups to register their event as
soon as possible so air time can
be set aside on the telethon. If a
group wants to learn more about
how to hold a telethon special
event, a speaker can be provided.

Municipal Response to
the Challenge Part IV
The motel owners met without
reaching a consensus of purpose.
Two motel restaurant operators
were absolutely opposed to any
change of policy in regard to their
segregated practices. As of
February, 1964, the motels were
still undecided as to what to do.
At one point three motels were
ready to desegregate according
to a plan, but one withheld and at
a later date that motel voluntari-
ly permitted a desegregated din-
ner in its restaurant. This situa-
tion remains confusing. It is felt
by the Committee that a very
serious error may have been
made by using an all-white sub-
committee in working with the
motels.
Two restaurants have
desegregated, and three have
been isolated incidents of
Negroes eating in normally
segregated facilities. On October
10, 1963, the United States Air
Force Band rendered a concert
and stayed in motels all over the
City with its Negro members.
The same subcommittee met
with the board of directors of the
Greenville MerchantsT Associa-
tion in July, 1963, to discuss a
petition by the Progressive
CitizensT Council. As a result of
this meeting the board of direc-
tors immediately published a
resolution stating that they en-
couraged all merchants to adopt
nondiscriminatory employment
and service practices
This subcommittee met with
the City Council in regard to the
petition by the Progressive
CitizensT Council. As a result of
this meeting, the City Council im-
mediately issued a_ resolution
through the local newspaper
Stating that it endorsed non-
discriminatory employment and
service policies and enpowered
the Mayor to establish a Good
Neighbor Committee.
In September, 1963, the Green-
ville Ministerial Association
desegregated its membership.
The subcommittee met with
the city officials and county of-
ficials and accomplished the hir-
ing of Negroes and the
desegregation of city facilities
such as the hall and the cour-
troom of the Pitt County
Courthouse.
Prior to the birth of the Inter-
racial Committee, there were
desegregated facilities in the
County. Most prominent of these
were East Carolina College, the
Municipal Library, and the Coun-
ty Health Department.
The Pitt County Interracial
Committee as a whole is active-
ly engaged in a public relations
and educational venture. It is ac-
tively seeking opportunities to
speak to civic clubs, church
groups, and others. The Commit-
tee seeks to commit responsible
people of the community to
responsible action. The co-
operation with this program has
been most encouraging.
East Carolina College
desegregated quietly over the
past years and now has some 60
Negroes enrolled, including a
number living in the dormitories.
The college has served as a great
public example of how
desegregation can be ac-
complished and how fruitful and
beneficial the results can be.

STRENGTH FOR TODAY
_it is hard to cope with feelings
of inferiority, particuarly if those
Who consider themselves
superior exert themselves to im-
press this conviction upon us. But
we might as well get used to this
situation, for we are all inferior
to, someone in something. The
poor look at the rich and envy
them, the ignorant look at the
educated and bemoan the fact
that they never had a chance to
go to college or graduate school.
Bat perhaps more important, all
of'us, day by day, are meeting
péople who do better than we do
atthe things we do best. By the
same token, we ca be sure that if
these people are superior to us in
something, we are superior to
them in something else. And most
probably they are looking at us
with just as much envy as we are
looking at them. °

The town is 58 percent black.
The school population is 93 per-

The school board, contrary to
the expressed wishes of the com-

Legacy of King and Malcom X
After a lengthy debate in its
Central Committee meeting in
Kansas City, Missouri on
September 30th and October Ist,
1983, the national Black United
Front (NBUF) endorsed the
presidential candidacy of Rev.
Jesse Jackson. At the October
8th, 1983 Saturday morning
meeting of Operation PUSH, ac-
ting in my capacity as National
Secretary of the National Black
United Front (NBUF), I read our
endorsement statement.
The rational for our endorse-
ment of Rev. Jesse JacksonTs
presidential bid was drawn, in
part, from NBUFTs national con-
stitution. In this document states
~Whereas it is vitally important
that our respective organizations,
clubs, political factions and in-
dividual leaders recognize that
none of us (singuarly or by
ourselves) represents the Black
community, the best a particular
organization or leader can claim
is a particular constituency
within the Black community.�
The NBUF constitution further
states ~~Collectively considered,
however, the various groups and
individuals can bring to approx-
imate the general will of the
Black community and more
reasonably hope to represent the
total Black community.�
~The National ~Black United
» Front (NBUF) believes that Rev.
Jesse JacksonTs candidacy for
president of the United States of

America represents this general
will, which speaks to our collec-
tive interest as Black people.
In the election of Mayor Harold
Washington, the Black communi-
ty of Chicago witnessed an un-
precedented show of Black unity
in electoral politics. Mayor
WashingtonTs candidacy brought
together the conservative,
moderate, reform, radical, na-
tionalistic and revolutionary con-
stituencies in ChicagoTs Black
community. We went to the polls
in record numbers to help defeat
the old Chicago political
machine.
The impact of this election and
the spirit it has generated across
Black communities of America is
a sign of growing national Black
unity. Rev. Jesse JacksonTs
presidential candidacy has cap-
tured this spirit and serves as the
basis for national unity among
our people.
What we are witnessing is the
coming together of two major
trends in the Black movement
which Oba TTShaka (NBUF vice
chair of training) discusses in his
book, The Political Legacy of
Malcolm X.
In discussing the issue of unity
and the impact of Malcolm X in
the 1960Ts, Shaka writes that
Malcolm represented the Black
movement forces that were rais-
ing the question of national
liberation (nationhood or seeking
land.) Dr. Martin Luther King,
Jr. represented the civil rights
movement.
Prior to Malcolm XTs
assassination, according to
814 W. 5th Street
Mr. CTs Lounge
ADULT ENTERTAINMENT CENTER on
OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK " L.B.D.
NC
Shaka, he was working toward
finding a method by which these
two trends in the movement could
come together in a unified front.
The endorsement of Rev. Jesse
JacksonTs presidential candidacy
by Minister Louis Farrakhan,
leader of the Nation of Islam and
the National Black United Front
represents the coming together of
these two Black movements that
have historically been an-
tagonistic to each other.
Minister Farrakhan and NBUF
represent the legacy of Dr. Mar-
tin Luther King, Jr.
The coming together of these
two movements around the
presidential candidacy of Rev.
Jesse Jackson is a positive sign
for the Black movement in
America.

after the conference.
oYeah, we all went to jail in
Ayden, and Golden,� Jessie, Rev.
Gray and others were there with
me. The police officer said that I
was resisting arrest and I was
charged because we were
demonstrating. Now in my 25
years of involvement in the strug-
gle everyone that knows me,
knew that I have never had cause
to resist arrest or be disorderly.
As a matter of fact, there weré
times when the jailer refused to

I would be in court to fight for my
rights and the rights of others.�
He had the courage to break
with tradition. LetTs keep the

of the 60-year-old school.
Armed with bullhorn
Bulllhorn in hand, Clark
patrols the hallways, ready to
mete out summary justice to
anyone who breaks his rules.
Such offenses as wearing a hat
when entering the school, dropp-
ing a piece of paper on the im-
maculately waxed floors or
wandering in the corridor without
a pass Can result in suspension.
ClarkTs tough style has not gone
unnoticed. Four years age he
received a personal call from
President Reagan congratulating
him for his work. And last year,
U.S. Education Secretary
William Bennett visited Eastside
to praise Clark in front of an
auditorium full of students and
parents.
Two weeks ago he suspended
scores of failing juniors and
seniors, calling them ~con-
taminants and leeches� who had
no chance of graduating.
Faced with a threat of suspen-
sion himself, Clark was forced to
readmit the students after Pater-
son school officials said they were
entitled to due process. But true
~to his no-nonsense style, Clark
banished them to the auditorium,
saying they ~weren't deserving of
being taught.�
Then the Paterson Fire Depart-
ment cited Clark for violating fire
laws by chaining school doors.
It was a repeat of a similar
citation last spring, for which the
Board of Education was fined
$7,000. The fine was waived after
consent agreement in which
Clark promised to remove the
chains.
- oThis neighborhood is full of
drug pushers and
troublemakers,� said Clark. ~I
couldnTt wait for the bureaucracy
to get me doors that lock from the:
outside.� igi
Clark admits he runs the
2,700-student school like a
dictatorship.
He said, ~They (the students)
need someone to set strict rules
lesson,
During ClarkTs six-year tenure,
more than 100 teachers and a
dozen administrators have left.
_ oIf you as much as teach a sub-
ject different than the way he
wants it to be taught, he goes
after you,� said one teacher, who
asked not to be identified. ~He
stopped me in the hall in front of
students and yelled at me. He
made me feel like a total fool.�T
Crucifixion a week
Clark responds: ~Sometimes I
need a crucifixion each week. It
keeps things lively here.�T
Students, though, give Clark
high remarks.
~I love that man,� said Cyonne
Mark, 16. ~I donTt have a father at
home and for me Mr. Clark is like
a father.�
Even Miriam Nieto, one of the
students Clark suspended, said
she likes the principal.
~ITm a year behind because I
goofed off and didnTt go to class,�
said Nieto, 17. ~The suspension
taught me a lesson. If I donTt try,
I wouldnTt be given a chance to
learn.�T
While Clark has not been able
to change the schoolTs 40%
dropout rate, test scores have im-
proved during his tenure. Fifty-
five percent of the students now
pass basic English skills tests,
compared with 39% six years
ago.
But Clark said the bottom line
is that he ~canTt save all the
students.T�T
Dr. Bill Mason, a Clark sup-
porter and community activist,
said he worries that the principal
goes too far.
~HeTs turned Eastsid}e
around,� Mason said. ~But the
purpose of education is to teach
kids to learn how to think and to
learn how to motivate
themselves. Sometimes I worry
how they are going to do that
when they go to a school run like
a dictatorship.�

oWe are here this evening for
serious business. We are here in
a general sense because first and
foremost, we are American
citizens, and we are determined
to acquire our citizensip to the
fullness of its meaning. We are
here also because of our deep-
seated belief that democracy
transformed from thin paper to
thick action is the greatest form "
of government on earth. There is
a critical element in race rela-
tions...and a flagrant discrepan-
cy between American ideals and
practices so far as our people are
concerned. Our protest is a revolt
within the system, not against it.
We are out to reform, not tear
down.
We are here in a specific sense
because of the bus situation here
in Montgomery. We are here
because we are determined to get
the situation corrected....We are
here because of what happened to
Mrs. Rosa Parks....We have long
suffered abuses and indignities
on the buses, and we sound now
the call to action....But there
comes a time when people get
tired. We are here this evening to
say to those who have mistreated
us so long that we are tired"tired
of being segregated and
humilated; tired of being kicked

Our actions must be guided by
the highest principles of Christian
faith. Love must be our
regulating pedal. You remember
Christ admonished us: ~Love
your enemies, bless them that
curse you, and pray for them that
despitefully use you.T If we fail to
do this, our protest will end up as
a meaningless drama on the state
of history, and its memory will be
shrouded with the ugly garments
of shame. In spite of the mistreat-
ment that we have confronted we
must not become bitter, and end
up by hating our white brothers.
As Booker T. Washington said,
they wrestled against being taken
captive on a slave ship? They
died on those African shores
rather than get on the ship as a
slave...ever singing a song in
their own language and their own
hearts:TT Before I be a slave, I'll
be buried in my grave, and go
home to my Lord and be free. We
yet struggle today: for fair jobs
in the workplace; for justice in
the American system, and
Freedom for all mankind....How
can we reach that ~o~Tomorrow�
with the Dream fulfilled? By lov-
ing one another....teaching our
children....and never forgetting
public accommodations and
businesses has resulted from the
personal efforts of the four-man
subcommittee appointed to deal
with the subject; however, many
things have been accomplished
informally through the individual
members of the Interracial Com-
mittee, such as the promotion of
the hiring of Negroes for extra
Christmas help by one member,
who first hired Negroes himself
and then encouraged other
businessmen to do likewise.
When demonstrations ap-
peared forthcoming in May, 1963,
the ad hoc subcommittee discuss-
committee met with the lunch
counter operators, restaurant
owners, theater owners, motel
owners, and city officials many
times. As a result of these discus-
sions, the lunch counter operators
desegregated their businesses
early in the summer; the
restaurant owners were of a
divided opinion as to what ad-
justments they might make. Two
restaurants immediately
desegregated; others promised
to desegregate when the whole
group moved; and some pledged
never to desegregate.
The theater owners reported
