In the New YorkTimes on Saturday, June 17,Nelson explained this position inan article entitled, oNot Ready forRedemption ? which protested theuse of the Black community oas abackdrop to promote and celebrateMike Tyson. ? The problem withNelson Ts remarks and her cam-paign is that it overlooks the factthat the Black community is in-deed the backdrop to Black mencoming home from prison every- oday "in many cases having cem-mitted violent crimes, rape in-cluded. They are not heavyweightchampion of the world. Nor arethey Malcolm X. They are just oursons, fathers, husbands, brothersand neighbors.Whatever my feelings aboutrape, in general, and the abuse ofBlack women, in particular (and,believe me, they are unequivocallyenraged), as a Black woman I amnot prepared to lay down condi-tions under which a Black man "any Black man "can be consid-ered oredeemed ? and thereby eli-gible for re-admittance to our com-munity.The issue is not Mike Tyson,either. Tyson is one young Blackmale with a lot more going for himthan most, in or out of prison. If he(Continued on page 2)'ELIZABETH CITY UNIVERSITY.

The ~M T Voice salutes Elizabeth City University forcommunity involvement.It Ts time for the Black communityto draw some new linesThe U.S. Supreme Court deci-sion on racial redistricting was apolitical one. After several decadesin which oidentity ? politics hasshaped the political landscape, andhas gone hand-in-glove with thegrowth of Big Government, a back-lash against so-called ospecial in-terests ? spurred the court Ts ruling.Where does this leave the Blackcommunity? For 25 years we havepursued a strategy of getting moreBlack elected officials in office,pushing Black political represen-tation as the key to our empower-ment. Within the framework ofthat strategy, the political / legalpursuit of drawing district lines tofavor maximal Black representa-tion was coherent. But from thevery start, in my opinion, this strat-egy was seriously flawed. Since itequated having Black voters elect-ing Black officials with havingpolitical power, it necessarily lim-ited the scope of our influence. Weare still a minority of the Ameri-can population. To impact morebroadly we, of course, have to par-ticipate in coalitions with othervoters not just around issues, butat the voting booth itself.Those Black leaders who attackcoalitional politics on separatistgrounds or who insist that theBlack community has to oget itselftogether first ? are usually disin-genuous. Every Black leader andevery Black community relatescoalitionally to other groups, in-cluding those who pretend not to.It Ts simply a reality of Americanpolitical and economic life. Thequestion is not whether we shouldengage in coalitional politics, butwho it is we Tre in a coalition withand what.the terms are.Since the strategy to increasethe number of Black elected offi-cials first evolved in the early 1970s, our singular political part-nership has been with white liber-als in the Democratic Party, whosaw great political benefit to them-selves from this arrangement.Even the passage of the VotingRights Act in 1965, by a majorityDemocratic Party Congress, wasboth a product of our fierce strugglefor civil rights and a practical rec-ognition on the part of the Demo-cratic Party that the empower-ment and activation of Black vot-ers would shore up national partystrength, particularly in the South.Consequently, the accelerated pro-cess of redrawing district lines toenhance Black participation andrepresentation was strongly sup-ported by the white liberal Demo-crats. Given that those districtswould surely yield Black Demo-cratic Congresspersons, it helpedsecure the continuing Democraticmajority in Congress. Once elected,these Black Democrats would actas a voice of the Black communityin government. But more impor-tantly, from the party's point ofview, it established an expandingchain of Black elected Democratswho could be counted on to pullBlack votes for white Democraticstatewide and national candidates.This plan workedNow to the problem. Thusly situ-ated, Black voters, encouraged toreinforce our Black oidentity ? byelecting Black Democrats, had ar-guably become more oDemocrat ?than Black. Militant rhetoric aboutelectoral self-determination andBlack empowerment notwith-standing, we had given up ourpolitical independence and ourability to coalitionize with whom-ever it made sense, because we obelonged ? to the Democrats.Then, as political polarization inClayton In Response to theOfcourse, I am disappointed thatthe Supreme Court, in the case ofMiller vs, Johnson, used the UnitedStates Constitution and the EqualProtection Clause "the very docu-ment that gives us rights " totake certain rights away. Racialminorities, particularly in theSouth, will suffer as a result of thisdecision. I remain committed torepresentative democracy. And, Iam confident that the District Irepresent, the First CongressionalDistrict in North Carolina, willnot be affected by Miller.It is my belief, based upon areading of Miller and preliminaryjudgments, that my CongressionalDistrict, as currently drawn, canwithstand the standards set outby the Supreme Court. Indeed, Iwould expect the Court to affirmthe state legislature's action andthe Lower Court's decision in mycase. I would have preferred theCourt to have disposed of the casesof Shaw ys, Hunt and Pope ys,Hunt, the North Carolina cases,without further consideration.However, the Court, in its wis-dom, decided to take a second lookat those cases, and we expect con-sideration in October. Nonethe-less, the First Congressional Dis-trict, I believe, is a community.There are many common inter-ests. The population is homog-enous, with cultural, social andeconomic similarities throughout.The District can withstand thestrict scrutiny test andits creationwas based upon acompelling stateinterest. While there may well bechallenges, we will be prepared tomeet those challenges.The Court, through Miller hasunfolded a new chapter in the on-going struggle to expand the fran-chise for racial minorities. Threedecades ago, with passage of theVoting Rights Act of 1965, Americaopened a new book on the mostprecious right that we possess "the right to vote. Through the Vot-ing Rights Act, this Nation recog-nized that special efforts wereneeded to ensure that minoritieshave an opportunity to meaning-fully participate in the voting pro-cess and to elect candidates of theirchoice.In Louisiana and Georgia, as inhthe country intensified and thewhite liberals found themselves at(Continued on page 2)Ouote.arh 142 esiLive pout Onphilo soph VY OT i fnationalism meanthat the Blackshould control thPEARS,fe ae |politics and th; er8 lH fipoliticainown communityTh oeCommunityNews¥Page 3Solving TheProblems In OurChanging WorldPage 6reading pleasure.SISTER ELEANOR JONES has Christian books for yourVoice Photo by Jim Rouseredistricting decisionsNorth Carolina, where redistrict-ing resulted in the election of thefirst two African American repre-sentatives " including myself "since Reconstruction, challengeswere launched against the redis-tricting. For five years, the valid-ity of these newly drawn districtshas been at issue. Now that theSupreme Court has spoken, thestruggle to secure equal and fairvoting status for minorities movesto another stage, another chapter.At stake in this ongoing saga,however, is more than congres-sional seats. City and county offi-cials, state legislatures and evenlocal school boards will be affectedby this decision.The Court examined this issuethrough terms such as orationalbasis ?, ostrict scrutiny ?, ocompel-ling state interest ? and osubstan-tial factor ?, yet, at stake was thecornerstone of our Democracy "the right to vote. The people of thisNation have sacrificed, waged warand shed blood in defense of theright to vote and to participate ingovernment. Surely the creationof so-called oirregular districts ? to\(promote regular voting by all citi-zens is no less and no more than acommitment in defense of democ-racy.As indicated, the 1966 VotingRights Act began a new book onvoting rights. New chapters werewritten by Congress in 1970,1976and 1982, strengthening the 1965Act. Asa result of today Ts decision,Congress and state legislatureswill likely write still another newchapter.The people of South Africa stoodin lines for days and days in orderto exercise their right to vote. Some;unable to Walk, came in wheel bar-rels, in order to exercise their rightto vote. Today, with these deci-sions, groups of individuals havebeen discouraged and led to be-lieve that they may not be fullparticipants in our Democracy,But, this Democracy will stand,Its weakness is also its strength,We recognize that this is not anend. It is just another chapter.America is divided, Fortunately,our Constitution embraces, indeedencourages, differences.

I Tm all for civilrights action. But, I think it wouldbe a serious mistake to respond tothe court decision in knee-jerkfashion by attempting to give newlife to a dead coalition with anineffective strategy and unwillingpartner. I think we have to seeksor tianeee sotide of the Derycal alliances outside of the Decratic Party. I think we need toreach out to the national Perotvoter and other white non-liberalconstituencies. I am now workingwith them in the Patriot Party andelsewhere. They are not anti-Black, so much as anti-Big Gov-ernment. The extent to which ourpolitical wagon has become hitchedto that overgrown and arrogantliberal Big Government has madeus a target of the current populist ~revolt. Ifwere to create voting part-nerships with these constituentsaround issues of democratic re-form and government accountabil-ity, we could be responsible forputting far more than the 40 BlackRepresentatives wecurrently havein Congress. Far from diluting ourpolitical power, our influencewould be significantly expanded.I think the entire CongressionalBlack caucus should run for re-election in 1996 as independents,not as Democrats. They shouldannounce that plan now and startusing the leverage that would pro-duce for them in Congress andwith the President. And we, as acommunity of voters and Ameri-cans, should reconstruct our po-litical allegiances and become in-dependents. That is where thepower lies.

(Al Wang) - ReverendErnest McNair Ts success as NorthPitt High Schgol Ts retired assis-tant principal can be partially con-tributed to his quiet, rarely raisedvoice or his giving orders, for hehas turned around troubled stu-dents as well as watched manystudents succeed. Yes, he haschanged lives.Has anyone thought of the num-ber of shoes he has worn out walk-ing those halls, the campus and/orthe classrooms daily?Acommitted and dedicated manhas given so much to that schooland community these 25 years.How was he honored? Unbeliev-ably, a replacement will be hard,for his caring and nurturing willbe sorely missed by administra-tor, teachers an students. And hedidit unequivocably without noise,fret or fume. Reverend McNair,we salute you!(Mrs.) Beatrice MayeRACISMRACISM is the mistaken beliefby some people that their group, orrace, is better than others. Theythink that other groups are odif-ferent. ?As aresult of racism some groupsin our society have more privilegesthan others. Racial discrimination-which means giving houses, jobsor educational opportunities on thegrounds of race - is against thelaw. But racial abuse happens inmany places: on the bus, in theplayground, and even in the class-rooms.Prejudice means deciding in ad-vance what someone is like in-stead of finding out for yourself.Prejudice comes from fear and sus-picions. Some people are preju-diced against those of another race.Astereotypeisa fixed idea aboutwhat people are like. For example,racial stereotyping, means thatsome teachers expect all black chil-dren to be athletic. Stereotypesare bad because they can limithow you see others and how yousee yourself.Very young children are not rac-ist. They trust and accept anyonewho is loving toward them. Youare not born with attitudes orprejudice. They are taught andlearned. Racist ideas get passedon when people talk to others orwrite or draw pictures. Parentsteach their own attitudes to them.Some people today think thatthey will benefit from being racist.They may be afraid or jealous ofother groups. They may blame dif-ficulties in their own lives or otherpeople. They may have learnedfrom their parents to resent andmistrust people from other groups.Anybody can be racist.Racism creates mistrust be-tween people. Apartheid is basedon racist ideas that blacks andwhites are different and shouldlive and develop separately be-cause whites are superior.Racism can bring about hatred,murder and war. Everyone mustlearn about and understand theproblems and causes. The moreyou know about other people andthey know about you, the less youwill be divided by racism.PCMH team launchesWater SafetyCampaignEvery year more than 30 chil-dren in our state die in water-related incidents, and many oth-ers suffer permanent brain dam-age after being injured in the wa-ter.

Quiteoften people state the problem,and point fingers at otheror organizations, yet they are notputting forth any etfort to find asolution.The people who aren't skilledshould be targeted and given di-rection as to how and where toreceive the training needed to se-cure a job. Once a person com-pletes his or her skills, groupsshould be established to locatefirms orjobs which might hire thatparticular individual.proupsIt is know fact that the Chris-tians are so busy finding fault ofone another and judging eachother, they are failing to fulfillthese obligations. The scripturetells us to oGive ye therefore andteach all nations whatsoever I havecommanded ye ?.The Muslims, Jehovah Wit-nesses and Mooneys may not ac-knowledge Jesus as Lord and Sav-ior, yet they fulfill in many waysthe things we omit as Christians;two most important things, loveand togetherness.One thing Ihave observed aboutthe Muslims, they follow the direc-tion of their leader, whereas theydo nof fight nor argue with hisvision or leadership. Failure to fol-low is not anything new amongChristians, for Moses, Jesus andeven Martin Luther King, hadproblems with the people that fol-lowed them.It is common knowledge theyachieve their goal because theywent on in spite of the die hardsand complainers.

Compostingis oneof the most effective recyclingmethods. With minimum effort,homeowners can reduce their gar-bage volume, protect the environ-ment and save money.Many items we normally throwaway can be turned into nutrient-rich compost. Rather than beinghauled to a landfill, items such asyard waste, coffee grounds and oldnewspapers can become the foun-dation for a beautiful lawn or gar-den. Growers who follow a fewsimple directions can enhancetheir soil Ts nutrient content, im-prove its physical properties andincrease its water-holding capac-ity.How do you manage this _al-chemy? One simple method is toprepare a compost heap in whichyou alternate layers of organicmatter with layers of soil. The or-ganic layer should be 6 to 12inchesdeep; the soil 1 to 2 inches. Be-cause soil microorganisms requirenitrogen to decompose organic ma-terial, growers should generallymix 3 to 5 pounds of 10-10-10 fer-tilizer (or the equivalent) per 100pounds of organic material.Growers are advised that not allorganic materials are appropriatefor compost heap. Avoid pet wastesbecause they can transmit dis-eases. Also, do not use meat, bonesand dairy products, which can at-tract rodents.Once you have completed theinitial layers, wet the heap to be-gin the decomposition process.Apply enough water to moistenthe material but do not (over)make it soggy. Turn the pile overevery three to four weeks to insureuniform decomposition.Submitting a waste-analysissample to the North Carolina De-partment of Agriculture Ts Agro-nomic Division is the most accu-rate and efficient way to makethese determinations. Thedivision Ts Waste Advisory Sectionwill determine the concentrationof 12 essential plant nutrients inyour compost and provide easy-tofollow recommendations for theparticular usage you specify.In addition to submitting a com-post sample, growers should sub-| mit soil samples from the areasover which they intend to spread' the waste. A staff agronomist canthen compare soil nutrient statusto compost nutrient availability» and make a recommendation tai-lored to your specificmaterials andneeds,For information on soil and com-post testing, contact local agricul-tural advisors or the NCDA Agro-nomic Division at (919) 733-2655.A waste analysis costs $4 and soiltests are free.
