:o oneAsten to eastern North Carolina's gospel on WQDW 1230 AM Kinston, iwTow 1320 AM Washington & WOOW 1340 AM Greenville 5Eastern North Carolina'sMinority Voice; VersWEEK OF AUGUST i1- 20, 1994THEEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA'S MINORITY VOICE - SINCE 1987NAACPled civil rights struggle from lynching to subtle racismBy Katrina HuffmanSpecial to the AmNewsDuring the early 1900 Ts and be-fore, lynch mobs prevailed andattempted to exterminate the raceby killing Black males. There wasno legal protection for the Blackman, woman and child. The Su-preme Court turned a deaf ear totheir cries for justice.It willingly embraced amnesiaand ignored its duty to uphold theConstitution, especially the 14thAmendment (which guarantees allcitizens equal protection under thelaw) and the 15th Amendment(guaranteeing American citizensthe right to vote.) Black childrenwere being deprived of a decenteducation, and no one seemed tocare.In 1909 a concerned interracialgroup of 60 people, including W. E.B. Dubois, breathed life into anorganization aimed at betteringthe plight of Blacks in Americacalled the National Association forthe Advancement of ColoredPeople (NAACP). This organiza-tion changed society as we knewit.With a strong legal department,a thriving publicity bureau and apowerful political and civil rightsbureau, the NAACP has been suc-cessful in making significantchanges in education, litigationand legislation.It is directly responsible for co-ercing Congress to enact a seriesof laws making discrimination inpublic facilities, employment, edu-cation, legislation and housing il-legal.No one can look at the nation Tsintegrated public school systemwithout remembering the 1954Legal Defense Fund giantThurgood Marshall waging waron the Board of Education of To-peka, Kansas on behalf of 9-year-old Linda Brown.In this case, Brown vs. Board ofEducation, the Supreme Courtdeemed discrimination in educa-tion unconstitutional, ruling thatstate public schools desegregate owith all deliberate speed. ? Thiscase overruled the 1896 oseparatebutequal ? Plessy v. Ferguson case.The NAACP also published TheCrisis, a magazine that not onlypublicized every injustice done toBlacks but offered solutions. It wasa vehicle by which progressive andaggressive ideas were spreadthroughout the Black community,causing its readership to swell upwith a passion for change and joinin the NAACP Ts fight for freedom.Since its inception, members ofthe NAACP have been concernedwith people of color worldwide. Atthe 1978 convention, held in Cin-cinnati, over 2,000 delegates tooka strong stand against the war inSoutheast Asia and called for animmediate withdrawal of Ameri-can troops.As part of their mission, theyhave spearheaded pan-africanmovements worldwide. DuBoisused The Crisis as a platform toinform Negroes about Africa andher plight. He also showed howthe U.S. and Britain colonized her.In the late T70s, under the lead-ership of their last executive direc-tor, Benjamin Hooks, the NAACPchallenged Capitol Hill to take anaggressive stance on its policiestoward African nations.Because of numerous victoriesachieved by this 85-year-old orga-nization, Blacks dine at any lunchcounter and restaurant theychoose; they no longer have to drinkfrom rusty water fountains desig-nated by oJim Crow ? and lynchingasentertainmentis nolonger fash-ionable.Doors have opened for Blacks tobecome blue-collar and white-col-lar workers. There is not one uni-versity or college in this countrieswhose population is not at leastone percent Black. By exercisingthe right to vote and serving onjuries, African-Americans are ex-panding their political power.The recent headlines concern-ing the NAACP Ts present execu-tive director, Benjamin Chavis,should not overshadow theorganization Ts historical achieve-ments, nor should it snowball thework he has done in the short timehe Ts been there.His courage to include leaders ofall factions of the Black commu-nity in the African-American Lead-ership Summit is noteworthy andso is his role in helping to diffusethe Black rage which sparked theLos Angeles riots.Chavis spent 10 years in prisonfor standing up for Civil Rights.Great minds such as Roy Wilkinsand Walter White help to build thestrong foundation the organiza-tion continues to build on today.In its struggle to better the livesof Blacks in this country they offerjob referrals, tutorials and day careservices. They also sponsor semi-nars and provide scholarships andtraining for young Black lawyers.The NAACP Housing Corp. con-tinues to assist in the develop-ment of low and moderate incomehousing for families.And the struggle against insidi-ous forms of racism in every areaof American life is the work of theNAACP. It changes as the strugglechanges.BSAGOOD MANIS HARD TO FIND, Grand opening of it's Rtintie Blvd. offica: Rev. DavidPayton is shown above at the ribbon cutting ceremonies sponsored by the Pitt Co.

However, in many instancesthe absolute reverse of this prin-ciple seems to prevail. Guilt isreadily assumed, making one Tsinnocence even more difficult toestablish. Then, to complicate thisdilemna even further, consider the odouble standard ? that exists andis applied at the discretion of thosepersons in positions of authority.That is the system that uses onestandard to govern brothers and adifferent standard to governothers.Such is the plight of Attor-ney Reginald Frazier, who has been- disciplined by the N.

a Teee es ee eee r Finales ee eee Bhd =, eer er ae a ee a = rina ee ae ee eereeBlack leaders must coordinate our fight for DemocrThe oil workers of Nigeria havebeen on strike for democracy sinceJuly 4, demanding that the mili-tary government of General SaniAbacha free Chief Moshood K.O.Abiola, who won the country Tspresidential election last year. Themilitary prevented Abiola fromtaking office, and then chargedhim with treason andarrested himon the first anniversary of his elec-tion. In recent weeks, the oil work-ers (oil is Nigeria Ts largest indus-try) have been joined by otherworkers and students in bringingthe West African nation to a vir-tual standstill .The African continent and itspeople have for centuries been thevictims of gross economic and po-litical manipulation and destruc-tion by Europe and America: fromslavery and colonialism, to CIA-inspired civil wars, to U.S. andEuropean government support fordictators, murderers, and thieves.That kind of treachery continuesto this day, ofcourse, as the Clintonadministration maintains its sup-port for rulers such as GeneralAbacha and Mobutu Sese Seko ofZaire.The Reverend Jesse Jackson Tsvisit to Nigeria has highlightedthe importance of Black leadersspeaking out against the Clintonadministration Ts policies. Rever-end Jackson, representing theState Department and the Clintonadministration, has delivered aletter from President Clinton toGeneral Abacha calling on him torelease Chief Abiola, the demo-cratically-elected president of Ni-geria, and to turn power over to acivilian government.Reverend Jackson Ts trip has,however, provoked controversy.Prominent Nigerian democracyleaders have identified ReverendJackson as a ofriend and collabo-rator of the military oligarchy inNigeria. ? The brilliant, NobelPrize-winning Nigerian authorWole Soyinka has objected to Rev-erend Jackson Ts visit on thegrounds that General Abacha willbe able to manipulate it for hisown anti-democratic ends. And,indeed, he has. The latest word isthat General Abacha has agreedto release Chief Abiola, but on thecondition that he give up all claimsto the presidency.Reverend Jackson has alsoworked closely with CongressmanRon Dellums of California, whosewife is employed by the Washing-ton, D.C. lobbying firm that repre-sents the Abacha government. Mr.Dellums has introduced a congres-sional resolution which gives cred-ibility to the idea of a constitu-tional conference allowing the mili-tary dictatorship to extend its ten-ure and play an influential role inany transition to democracy. WhileReverend Jackson and Represen-tative Dellums have tried to mobi-lize support amongBlack leaders for their sympa-thies for Abacha, CongressmanDonald Payne of Newark, NewJersey, the Congressional BlackCaucus member most influentialon Africa policy, has made surethat the CBC has held fast in itsbacking of Chief Abiola. So strongis Congressman Payne Ts supportof the democratic forces in Nigeriathat he was denied a visa by themilitary government last week.Reverend Jackson Ts visit to Ni-geria, in my opinion, was mis-guided. It is extremely dangerousfor a Black leader of his interna-tional stature to lend any credibil-ity whatsoever to the Abacha gov-ernment. In Zaire, theU.S. government has continuedits backing of the Mobutu dictator-ship, allowing Mobutu to sabotagethe new constitution and deposethe democratically-elected primeminister, Etienne Tshisekedi. I amamong those in this country whohave militantly supportedTshisekedi and worked to exposethose "Black or white " whowould allow any compromise withthe Mobutu government. I appealto Reverend Jackson to learn fromthe example of Zaire. Any legiti-macy afforded to General Abachaundermines the Nigerian democ-racy movement and ChiefAbiola.Reverend Al Sharpton TsClayton provides key input toRepresentative Eva M.

TheRwandan tragedy is, of course, of amagnitude thatis hard to describe.But, as ever, the U.S. governmenthas found a way to manipulate itfor its own political ends, namelyby allowing President Mobutu tocontrol the relief and military situ-ation on the Zairean side of theborder. Mobutu is being politicallyrehabilitated, at just the momentwhen the anti-Mobutu democracymovement needs the greatestsupport.While ReverendSharpton Ts visit to Rwanda is mo-tivated by humanitarian concerns,the Hutu hardliners responsiblefor the genocide are massed at theRwandan border under the pro-tection of their old ally, Mobutu,ready to reinvade Rwanda. I urgeReverend Sharpton to use his visitto challenge the Clinton adminis-tration to fully withdraw its sup-port for Mobutu. Reverend Jack-son must do the same for Nigeriandemocracy and challenge the U.S.THE oM T-VOICE- WEEK OF AUGUST 11-20, 1994-3acy in Africato fully withdraw it support ofAbacha.As an African Americanleader who has done extensivework on behalf of African democ-racy in Zaire, Nigeria and Rwandaon Capitol Hill, with the Congres-sional Black Caucus and with or-dinary Americans around thecoun-try, I believe it is critical that allBlack leaders work together at thisimportant juncture.
