BroadnaxU.S. Deputy Secretary of Healthand Human ServicesWhen America catches a cold,the Black community gets pneu-monia. ?The kernel of truth in that oldsaying is magnified whenAmerica Ts health care system isdue for major surgery, health carefor African Americans is in theintensive care ward.The truth is, every major healthcare program facing this nation isexacerbated in Black America.From TB to teen pregnancy. FromTB to teen pregnancy. From vio-lence to AIDS. From too many ba-bies dying to too many senior citi-zens not having enough to eat.And in the face of these explod-ing health problems, AfricanAmericans are less likely to havehealth benefits. Currently, over20 percent of African Americanshave no health insurance cover-age at all. And, many who do areone pink slip away form disaster.And when so many Americanshaveinadequate health insurance,or no coverage at all, clinics getovercrowded, and emergencyrooms serve as waiting rooms oflast resort for people who can Tt getcare any other way.Clearly, Black America has abad case of health care blues. Andclearly, we have a vital stake inreform. The centerpiece of Presi-dent Clinton Ts Health Securityplan is our commitment to providehealth care security to every singleAmerican.The Clinton plan says: Switchjobs or start your own business "you'll still be covered. Lose you job,you'll still be covered.Under our plan, you will receivea comprehensive benefits packagethat includes doctor and hospitalcare, as well as prescription drugs.You'll get preventive services suchas mammograms, prenatal care,immunizations and dental care foryour children.You'll also have a choice of doc-tors and plans, and you'll be ableto switch if you Tre not satisfied.For older Americans, our plan willstrengthen services. We'll provideMedicare coverage for prescriptiondrugs and we will create a newhome care program for olderAmericans, and for people of allages and disabilities.And for the poor, the HealthSecurity plan ushers in a new eraof equity.

She was invited to the ocampus by 100 Black Men ofRutgers to spark the second day oftheir annual week-long remem-brance of the African Holocausttitled oSlavery RemembranceWeek. ?Soulijah, who was criticized byPresident Clinton during the T92presidential race for her soberinganalysis of Black-on-white violencein L.A. during the rebellion, em-phasized the fact that Black peopleneed to return to an oAfrican way ?of living and thinking. During herone hour and forty-five minute dis-cussion, she outlined a common-sense method of putting Blackfolks on the road to unity andprogress. oBeing an African person is lessof what Ts going on on the outsideand more of what Ts going on in theinside, ? Soulijah said to the audi-ence of 150 people inside the LucyStone Hall Auditorium.On the subject of dealing withthe oinside, ? Soulijah stressed theimportance of Black men andwomen establishing a orelation-ship with the spirtual creator. ? oIf you don Tt believe in somespirtual force or God and good-ness, ? she said while discussingthe cause of moral degradation inthe Black community, othen youdon Tt have any limitations to theactions that you will take . . . thatis why a brother will take your lifein an instant. ?Another hindrance to ourprogress, noted Soulijah tothe veryattentive audience, is the relation-ship between the elders and theyoung. According to Soulijah, toomany secrets are being kept by theelders: secrets that are vital to thecontinuing existence and advance-ment of Black youth.The raptivist said, oToo manyelders are teaching the youth tocooperate with white supremacy ... with injustice. They are tellingthem to ~do what they say, T just gofor what they ask for, and get outof there (college.)In an African society, Soulijahargued, to be an elder omeans thatyou've lived life and that you canteach the young to survive in thesociety in which they are born. ?Afterwards, Soulijah whoserecord career is earmarked by herbattle cry of oWe are at war! ? clari-fied what she meant by the state-ment, which many mistook as theraptivist Ts all to okill white people. ?Rejecting any hate-mongeringlabels, Soulijah explained that waris not something she wants. Shesaid she wants peace more thananything, but oa state of existenceis being placed on Blacka people Tspermission or their cooperation. ?This said Soulijah, is a state ofwar. oWar exists when any group ofpeople or system tries to take fromyou that which is rightfully yours:your ability to think for your ownbenefit, to move freely, to protectyourself, ? said Soulijah. oAnytimethese things are interrupted, es-pecially for the majority of yourpeople, a state of war has beendeclared. ?Sea a aaROR2107 CLAIRMONT CIRCLE, 3bedrooms, 1 bath, hardwood floors, centralgas heat, great starter home. $41,900.509 W. 3RD STREET, NEW LISTING3 bedroom, living room, den, vinylexterior, over 1500 sq. ft. greatinvestment. 27,000.00DUPLEX APARTMENT, MaysSubdivision, Greenville, 2 bedrooms, 2baths, central air, built in ~88.
