Morris lost the battle but not the war
By Virginia L. Porter
Tri-State Defender
Alma Morris, a 72-year-old, Af-
rican-American woman, 5 feet, 2
inches tall and, all of 1380 pounds-
soaking wet. She Ts an Alabama
native, but a Memphis resident
for some 60 years; wife of Johnnie
Morris Sr. for odome 52 or 53
years, ? mother of three grown
sons, grandmother of six great-
grandmother of three.
Morris, a long-standing mem-
ber of Corinthian Baptist
Church, has and does tirelessly
serve her community- once ap-
pointed by Memphis Mayor W.W.
Herenton to the Police Advisory
Board.
But, more
than all, Morris
is a champion
fighter for jus-
tice and equal
rights in hous-
ing, jobs, educa-
tion. She re-

Now, in the 90s,
Morris is faced with yet another
confrontation with another law-
enforcement official, Shelby
County
SheriffA. C. Gilless, from whom
sheis seeking $10 million in com-
pensation in a civil suit.
She is charging that Gilless
threatened her for ospeaking out
to U. S. Attorney Janet Reno
about an investigation of the dis-
crimination and unfairness to
Blacks in his department. ? In
the suit Morris claims that Gilless
violated her First Amendment
right to free speech when he
threatened her following a forum,
April 8, 1994, at the Lester Com-
munity Center where Reno was
speaking. In April, during the
final stages of the trial, a deter-
mined Morris burst into tears,
describing the turmoil and
trauma of the incident. She re-
counts: oWhen they had the ques-
tion and answer session at the
center, I asked Attorney Reno if
she had received a letter from our
organization, the Legal Service
Client Ts Council, ? she said. oIn
the letter we were asking the Jus-
tice Department for an investiga-
tion into charges from Sheriff De-
partment employees who charge
that department racism had led
to their firings, demotions, sus-
pensions, unfair treatment.
oGilless was on the podium with
Reno, who said that she had not
received the letter, but she would
check on it when she got back to
Washington. We had a chance to

Clinton can Tt heal racial divide
BY Dr. LENORA FULANI
Several weeks ago President
Clinton kicked off his campaign
to heal the racial divide in
America. Bill Clinton is one of
those politicians who has built
his career off of reinforcing that
racial divide. But like any poli-
tician who bases his principles
on the polls, the focus groups
and the political winds, what he
did yesterday has no bearing on
what he dogp today. Everything
is for political gain. Little is for
the good of the country. And
nothing is for the good of Afri-
can Americans.
In his speech at the Univer-
sity of California in San Diego
he told the country that we have
the opportunity to overcome the
racial polarization that still
plagues America and create a
otruly multiracial democracy, ?
President Clinton says we need
to have a constructive national
conversation on race.
. ee . er
I agree that we need to work
to create a otruly multiracial
democracy. ? Butin order to have
the meaningful conversation
that President Clinton is call-
ing for, then some true things
about the situation that we, as
Black people, find ourselves in,
are going to have to get said.
Some of those things are go-
ing to have to be about the issue
of political power. Because the
long-standing inequities be

ten lose sight of the common-sense
practically of getting others com-
mitted to doing things for them
willingly. In practice this means
letting them know what you ex-
pect, inspecting what is done, sup-
well and overlooking those non-
critical things that are not dong
well.
We should think in terms of do-
ing things for people, instead of to
people.
There are things that every
manager, indeed virtually anyone,
can do that will produce returns
well out of proportion to the ac-

Both managers and parents of-
porting those things that are done:
1. Make a list of those whose
actions are important to you- em-
ployees, spouse, children, or mem-
bers of the committe you chair.
Before. the week is out, tell each .
one about accomplishments you
appreciate.
Ifyou want a fireplace to provide
you with heat, you must first give
it wood. If you want people to con-
tribute, find something to thank
them for.
2. Avoid destructive criticism.
Whenever possible, don Tt correct
someone night after the fact. Hold
off until he is about to do the same
thing again, then challenge the
person to make a more positive
contribution. This way, he will have
achance to do something right, in-
stead of just regretting his mis-
take.
In practice this is difficult, as I
learned one morning at home. I
was pleasantly surprised when my
teen-age son came down to break-
fast dressed in a sport coat tomake
in school. But as he went out the
door, | commented that he should
have had his hair cut, and missed
the chance to praise his otherwise
neat appearance.
3. Set up informal visits with the
people you manage. Use your eyes
and ears to pick up what Ts going
on. Don Tt look for problems. Look
for strengths and things done well,
even little things. Make something
out of every positive thing you can
find. Remember that sincere com-
phments and thank you Ts are so
rarethat they stand outinmemory,
4. Write d

Can youeliminate the negatives
in your dealings with other people
and put your effort into uncover-

Can you say something compli-
mentary to everyone with whom
you live or work by the end of this
week? It Ts the right thing to do,
and it pays handsome dividends.

Smoking/Smokers
Teen smoking- Who Ts to blame?
Teenagers T smoking. Behind them
is a parent smoking, usually. My
husband died of lung cancer, the
wife stated. I am a teenager with
asthma, pregnant and yet smok-
ing. MY baby was born with
asthma because I smoked. Habits
don Tt change, I want to stop, but I
can Tt.3,000 deaths yearly ecause
of smoking, environmental smok-
ing. Smoking, most preventable
cause of death in the United States.
One out of four deaths in America
is due to smoking. 90% of smokers
begin as teenagers. Over 80% of
all adults (smokers) began before
age 19: 3 million adolescents smoke
cigarettes.
The lesson: oBe careful of the
habits you form, but before long
you habits make you. ?

Patterns of Difficult
Behavior
1. Hostile-Aggressiveness: They

when things don Tt go the way they

2. Complainers: Complainers are
individuals who gripe in assembly
but who never try to do anything
about what they complain about,
whether because they feel power-
less to do so or because they refuse
to bear the responsibility.
3. Silent and Unresponsives:
These are the people who respond
to every question you might have,
every plea for help you make, with
a yep, a no, or a grunt.

North Care finishes
JR season with win
In the Jackie Robinson Baseball
League, North Care defeated
Philippi 8 to 3 on Saturday. The
win for North Care finished the
regular season with a record of ten
wins and no losses and sealed the
regular season championship.
Following the game, the North
Care team and their families hon-
ored Head Coach Leondus Farrow
and celebrated their successful
season with a cookout at the home
of Joyce and Robert Jones.
Presentations of a Certificate of
Appreciation, commemorative tee
shirts and a trophy were made to
Coach Farrow. A Certificate of
Appreciation and a commemora-
tive tee shirt were presented to
Assistant Coach Ben Dixon. Cer-
tificates of Appreciation were pre-
sented to Assistant Coaches Rob-
ert Jones and Thomas Clark.
When Coach Farrow assumed
head coaching responsibilities
three years ago, both he and the
team were very young. In the three
years since, the coach and the team
have grown and matured together.
Coach Farrow will quickly tell you ©
that he has learned a great deal
from his team. The team members
and their parents will tell you that
he has taught them a great deal
about baseball and also a great
deal about commitment and giv-
ing 110% of yourself to any en-
deavor you undertake.
Testimonials from various par-
ents praised Coach Farrow for his
devotion to the team and his com-
mitment to teaching them the
value of discipline, team work and
hustle. At every practice these vir-
tues are stressed and each session
ends with a prayer. Coach Farrow
teaches and demonstrates to his
players respect for themselves and
for their coaches and parents.
Team members and their fami-
hes present were twelve-year-old
players Maurice Barnhill, Raji
Bradley, Martin Cox, Kendall
Hyman, Chance Jones and Ian
Miller along with teammates
Joshua Brown, Brian Clark, Torel
Daniels, Evan Millerand Desmond
Moore. Another team member,
Keith Berryhill, was absent.
Special guests were Bobby Short,
Commissioner for the Jackie
Robinson Baseball League and
Kevin Taylorand his family. Kevin
was the only North Care player

2. Be content with what youhave
(6:8)
3. Watch what you are willing to
do to get more money (6:9-10)
4. Love people and God Ts work
more than money (6:11,18)
5. Freely share what you have

Are you discouraged?
Turn to Joshua 1:9: o Be strong
and courageous. Do not be terri-
fied; do not be discouraged, for the
Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go. ? Read also: Psalm
23; Psalm 37:1-7 and 1 John 3:1-3.

1. People who humiliate others
are damaging their own charac-
ter.
2. Look for friends who are sup-
portive and have the same values.

For those who haven't
heard..and this news is important
enough that everyoneshould know
about it..Dr. Betty Shabazz, wife
of Maleolm X, died on Monday,
June 23, three weeks after suffer-
ing third-degree burns over 80
percent of her body in a fire at her
apartment on June 1. The fire was
apparently set by her 12-year-old
grandson.
Dr. Shabazz underwent five op-
erations to try to keep her alive.
Sadly, after weeks of a harsh
struggle for survival that, in some
iis at eee i a od eee hs
VOICES
ways, mirrored her own decades of
struggle against racism, shejoined
her husbandin death on June 23rd.
She was 61.
For those of you who donot know
what type of woman has been lost
to us..this was a woman who,
against all odds, survived to earn

a career for herself as a college
official and a voice in the civil-
rights movement. This woman
raised six daughters alone after
seeing her husband of seven years
gunned down in front of her. She
earned a Doctorate degree while
raising those children.
Make no mistake: Dr. Betty
Shabazz will always be a part of
Black history. She walked with
the legends of Black America:
Malcolm X; Elijah Muhammad
(former leader of the Nation of
Islam); Louis Farrakhan (current
leader of the nation of Islam);
Coretta Scott King (widow of the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.);
Myrlie Evers-Williams (former
chairwoman of the NAACP, and
widow of slain civil rights leader
Medgar Evers).
These were the names that com-
prise our history. And yet,somany
of us did not hear of these names in
school. As a teacher, I am appalled
by how many Black children know
nothing of their own history. For
example, many of them have never
heard of Medgar Evers. But then,
many of them had also been taught
in earlier years that the Black
Panthers were a terrorist group
working for the Nation of Islam.
It is this type of ignorance and
deliberate misinformation that Dr.
Shabazz dedicated her life to fight-
ing. She had earned a Bachelor's
degree in Public-Health Education,
and a Master Ts degree in Early
Childhood Education. In 1975, she
received her Doctorate in Educa-
tion Administration from the Uni-
versity of Massachusetts at
Amherst. In later years, she served
as the Director of Communications
and Public Relations at Medgar
Evers College in Brooklyn. More
recently, she was the Director of
Institutional , Advancement, and
raised money for scholarships and
books.
Dr. Betty Shabazz was, first and
foremost, an educator. Her life was
dedicated to fighting ignorance,
intolerance, and hatred. Sheblazed
a path for Black America, demon-
strating that, even in the most
dire of circumstances, you can suc-
ceed if you believe there is not
other possible outcome. With her,
failure was simply not an option.

She exemplified the concept of oex-
cellence without excuse. ? Her atti-
tude about life screamed out oI
Can! ?, rather than oI Can't, Be-
cause.. ?
The people who knew her in life
know just how much they have
lost. Her daughters and friends
can grieve for their loss of the
woman they knew and loved. For
those of us who did not know her
personally, itis left to us to pick up
where she left off. To educate our
youth in the ideals that fired the
Bet y Sha azz left Black America a dream to pursue }
life of this woman who was.a
end. To tell our youth, and oiat
them, that a Black person can sug:
ceed, no matter the challenges. By
doing these things, we can teach
our young people to make a differ-
ence in their lives, and in the lives
of those around them.
To dootherwiseis to say that the
life of Dr. Betty Shabazz made no
difference. And, that, above all else,
would be an even greater tragedy
than her death.
Plenty of dialouge on race:
By Russell Baker
Advance publicity said the
president Ts speech on race last
Saturday would be omajor. ? It is
hard to guess what remains to be
said in a omajor ? vein about race in
the United States so, not surpris-
ingly, after saying it was a major
problem, Clinton found himself at
a loss for a new idea.
In the absence of a new idea, he
endorsed an old one (affirmative
action), said he was appointing a
committee and called for an ohon-
est dialogue. ? What constitutes
honesty in a odialogue ? on this
subject?
The president let the question
pass and lapsed into bromides, as
politicians are apt to do when ex-
pected to orate in the omajor ? style
about matters on which they have
nothing to say.
Thus: oHonest dialogue will not
be easy at first. We will have to get
past defensiveness and fear and
political correctness andother bar-
riers to honesty. ? And, dippinginto
the Kennedy Johnson summons-
to-greatness style: oEmotions may

be rubbed raw, but we must be- "
gin. ?

Johnson usually wanted us to be-
gin something ambitious; Clinton

gabfest. - He seems to believe this
might result in oconcerted action, ?
which would help olift the heavy
burden ofrace from our, .children Ts
future. ? As to what that oconcerted
action ? might be, Clinton did not
hazard a guess. And so, having
nothing of consequence to say, he
dug into the national cliché an-
thology. He came up with, among
other over, worked phrases, othe
classic American dilemma, ? oa
great national effort to perfect the
promise of America, ? the attempt
oto build our more perfect union ?
and oone America respecting, even
celebrating our differences. ?
This sounds more like
bloviating than the opening of
ohonest dialogue, ? but it is only to
be expected in the dead political
air in which the country is be-
calmed.
The only subject with which
Washington is seriously engaged
this year is
the balanced budget exercise.
Clinton had to make a com-
mencement speech, an ancient lit-
erary form requiring inspirational
rhetoric. A call to balanced-bud-
getary greatness would hardly fill
the bill. Race, on the other hand,
always offers excellent rhetorical
opportunities.
Well, he was also speaking in
California, where people have re-
cently been voting bleak anti-black
anti-immigrant passions. Endors-
ing affirmative action in this be-
nighted territory, the president
could show his critics that there
was at least one unpopular issue
on which he would take a stand.
The mystery is why the presi-
dent thinks we lack dialogue on
race. A roaring dialogue on race
has been going on here for 350
years.
SPECT eecSesteeeTetresettiLtett oie
us
Two hundred years ago the Con-
stitution spoke honestly about the
American position on race when it
stated that a slave was to be offi-
cially considered only three-fifths
of a human being.
For cruelly honest dialogue on
race it would be hard to improve
on the Civil War. Lynchings, riots,
murders, corrupt trials, unemploy-
ment statistics dialogue doesn Tt
get any more honest than these.
Clinton didn Tt say how we could
enjoy a more civilized dialogue. He
seems to think that talking across
the racial divide can produce genu-
ine changes in people Ts ohearts and
minds. ?
oHearts and minds ? "the phrase
speaks of the old idea that racial
part of
the human psyche that cannot be
changed by the forces of reason,
education, politics or law.
The conviction that government
action will never be able to change
the human heart was President
Eisenhower's reason for not sup-
porting the civil rights movement
40: years ago. Fear that voters
would be enraged ~ an effort to
change their hearts and minds
accounted for Kennedy Ts hands-
off policy on the civil rights move-
ment.
When Johnson boldly supported
it anyhow, Richard Nixon Ts oSouth-
ern strategy ? exploited the result-
ing anger to convert a once solid
Democratic South into a now solid
hostility is embedded in a }
Republican South.
Now Democrats cannot elect a
president without a Southern ac-
cent, and even he must be wary
when tinkering with hearts and
minds.
In California Clinton wasa wary
president making a wary speech.
A committee will now take over,
and may even be heard of again.

be given the Nobel Prize.

While O.J.
Simpson's at-
torneys argued
in court about
his lack of fi-
nances, Simp-
son failed to
acknowledge
that the day
was the third
anniversary of
his ex-wife's slaying.
oWe don Tt have any anniversary, ?
Si said this week. oWe don't
cel death in this house. It's
impossible not to be aware of it but
we don't go out of our way to mark
it. ? About 200 people gathered later
in the day to remember Mrs. Simp-
son in a candlelight vigil on the
beach of her childhood home.

Minneapolis this
week confirmed
that the newborn
son of the artist
formerly known
as Prince died last
year of natural
causes.
After a three-
month review that began after two
former employees of the former
Prince contacted authorities, county
medical experts confirmed the boy
died of natural causes on Oct. 23,
when he was just seven days old. The
child suffered with an often-fatal ab-
normality called Pfeiffer syndrome
type 2, experts said.

talk with her afterwards and
for immediate starters, she re-
ferred us to U.S. Attorney Veronica
Coleman, of the Western District
of Tennessee. (Later, Coleman said
there was nothing she could do at
the time). Anyway, Gilless, who
had carefully watched us during
our talk with Reno, later came up,
stopped in front of me and said,
you better stop asking for investi-
gations. T - oOn the way to the door,
he got in front of me with Tf you
don Tt , stop asking for these inves-
tigations, I'm going to get your
boys. I , - asked, boys? He said,
Yes, you and your boys. I'll take
out an ad in the paper to write
about you and your boys. ?
Hands on hips, facing him
squarely she says she retorted,
oYou
be sure that you write about
yourself. Do you hear me? ?
_ Shesays Gilless then mentioned
o$5,000 to $10,000, ? which
p she took to mean he was offer-
ing her a bribe. oI told him that I
could not be bought. While leav-
ing, I pondered, was that a
threat?... was he trying to bribe
me to keep quiet about the charges?
After carefully thinking the situa-
with my family and friends, I de-
cided that a lawsuit was in order.
I felt that he didn Tt deserve to be
sheriff. Anytime an official in his
capacity threatens a citizen "es-
pecially a woman "he doesn Tt
deserve to serve! ?
She filed suit and a trial ensued.
However, days later in the court-
room of U.S. Districtjudge Bernice
Donald, a federal jury ruled in
Case No: 95-2230-D, o...It is so
ordered and adjudged that in ac-
cordance with the jury verdict ren-
dered on 4-11-97, judgment is
hereby entered for the defendant,
Sheriff A. C. Gilless, and against
the plaintiff, Alma Morris. This
case is hereby dismissed. ?
Now, equipped only with a de-
termined will to win, her three
oeye and ear witnesses to and
through the incident, Vera Lewis,
Marsha White and Bernice
Gillard, ? also friends and support-
ers, Morris declares, oWe are ap-
pealing the decision. ? Yet, when
her lawyer, Peggy Lee, attempted
to file the appeal she and Morris
found out they need $1,500 to get
the court transcripts. oThis makes
me more determined to fight, ?
Morris says. oWe may eventually
get some attention to this and get
him out of that office!
Morris is appealing to the pub-
lic for financial assistance for she
