In 1992, despitestrenuous and well financed oppo-sition from professional politiciansand their pals in the media, votersin 14 states overwhelmingly sup-portedinitiatives to limit the termsof members of Congress and otherelected officials. Term limits re-ceived more votes in those statesthan Ross Perot received nation-ally and a greater percentage ofthe vote in each of the states thanBill Clinton got.BlackUmfolosito holdworkshopat NCCUBlack Umfolosi, a vocal anddance ensemble from Zimbabwe,will conduct a workshop demon-strating and teaching their tradi-tional African music and dance at4p.m., Wednesday, September 21,in North Carolina CentralUniversity Ts B.N. Duke Audito-rium. Admission is free. Theensemble Ts visit to Durham iscollaboratively sponsored by theNCCU Lyceum Series, Duke Uni-versity, and the Durham ArtsCouncil. Black Umfolosi is namedfor one of two rivers - the WhiteUmfolosi and the Black Umfolosi -in the Kwazulu region of SouthAfrica. In the mid-nineteenth cen-tury, Mzilaki, the leader of a Zuluregiment which took its name fromthe Black Umfolosi, rebelledagainst the celebrated Zulu na-tional leader, Tshaka Zulu. Mzilakiand his army moved north intowhatisnow Zimbabwe, where theymade their home in what becomeMatabeleland. The music per-formed by Black Umfolosi is theNdebele singing style,imbube, alsopopulaf,in South Aftican town-__.ships. «Black Umfolosi was launchedwhen a group of schoolboys at theGeorge Silundika School nearBulawayo, Zimbabwe, planned aconcert of traditional songs anddancing for their schoolmates andneighbors. The success of the schoolprogram led directly to other book-ings.Lyceumseriesannouncedat NCCUDr. Paula Harrell, chairofNorthCarolina Central University Ts Ly-ceum ittee, has announcedthe university's 1994-95 LyceumSeries of performances and lec-tures.

Mississippians will get tovote on it in 1995. In the last fouryears 16 states have passed termlimits at the state legislative level.Some people say that term lim-itsis oracist ? because it would forceBlack politicians out of office oreliminate seniority for Black poli-ticians. It is mainly Black electedofficials who promote this argu-ment, and it is obviously self-serv-ing. It just as obviously makes nosense for the Black community.Who do these Black politiciansimagine will replace them? Thedistricts represented by Blackelected officials are majority ornear-majority African American,and other Blacks would be electedin their place. The-seniority argu-ment will disappear with the en-actment of term limits, since termlimits will eliminate the senioritysystem for all elected officials, cre-ating more parity between Blackand white elected officials. Termlimits isn Tt anti-Black "it Ts anti-hack!The primary concern of profes-sional politicians is to stay in of-fice, so they listen to the moniedinterests who contribute to theircampaigns and to the party lead-ers who make and break politicalcareers, They are not free to beresponsive to their constituents,they vote the way they are told tovote. This is why, despite the factthat there has been an enormousincrease in the number of Blackelected officials at every level ofgovernment over the last two de-cades, the Black Agenda has re-mained on the back burner ofAmerican politics. Alternativeideas, new solutions "from repa-rations to weighted voting "nevereven get a hearing because thepolitical system is so controlled.Instead of professional politi-cians, we need citizen-legislators "ordinary people who spend a fewshort years in public service, andthen go back home to live andwork under the laws that theythemselves have made! Underthose conditions, we might indeedhave social and economic justicein America "and a humane policytoward our sisters and brothers inHaiti, Rwanda and Zaire.A vote for term limits this fall isa vote for the realization of theBlack Agenda.LORRAINECOUNTY COMMISSIONERPaid For By The Committee To Elect Lorraine Shinn County CommissionerTo=2E**e#* e¢**s*% & % & &PITT COUNTYCOMMISSIONERDISTRICT 1MAKE A CHANGE ON NOVEMBER 8, 1994"Joy Is In The Air"Paid For By Friends of Jim Rouseee_- + » * oe a* *Dreams, Come To BB&I FYou've finally found the perfect place to call home.
