Hating no person, fearing no person in thefirm belief that all are hurt as long as anyone is held back.f*=;= A major legal drama is unfolding in a Manhattan, N.Y. courtroom where federal prosecutors are trying forthe second time to convict boxing promoter, Don King of a fraudulent connection with a 1991 boxing match.King's first trial in 1995 ended with a hung jury when the government was unable to prove its case against him.Now the prosecutors are presenting their case again after exercising what presiding Judge Lawrence McKennaribed as "judicial vindictiveness" by expanding the original charge to include his corporation, Don KingCtions. .« Based on information provided by Joe Maffia, a former employee who resigned from Don King Productionsafter King accused him of stealing, government attorneys allege that the corporation submitted a false claim toinsure Lloyd's of London for reimbursement of $350,00 in nonrefundable training expenses. The fact that Lloyd'siid not challenge the claim or initiate legal proceedings against King, and that similar disputes betweenGorporations are usually treated as civil matters, have led more than a few observers to question the realfhotivation behind the case.* The government has continued its prosecution despite appeals to Attorney General Janet Reno for a reviewof the charges against King by a number of national leaders including The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., SenatorCarol Mosely-Braun, Kweisi Mfume (NAACP), Dr. Dorothy Height (National Council of Negro Women), TheRev. Joseph Lowery (of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference), Hugh Price (National Urban League) andCongressman Bobby Rush. Rather than responding positively to the concerns expressed by African Americanleadership, the government has elected to parade a group of King's critics, competitor, disgruntled former businessassociations and other questionable witnesses before the jury in a desperate attempt to obtain conviction.A number of differences are apparent between the current trial and the one that preceded it. King's attorneyssucceeded in increasing the number of African Americans on the jury to five, from one in the first trial, and theyhave exposed numerous inconsistencies in testimony by government witnesses. In addition, the New York Citypress corps is giving this trial far less coverage than they did the first one.The government's aggressive prosecution of this case despite a lack of solid evidence raises a basic question:Why are they trying so hard to put Don King, a man who paid over $30 million in taxes last year, behind bars?a ek at the multi-billion dollar industry of televised sporting events may provide some clues to just what's at3A recent study by Richard E. Lapchick, director for the Center of Sports in Society at Boston's Northeastern's ,University, reported that no blacks had majority ownership or control of professional sports franchises in America.Black athletes made up 79% of the players in the National Basketball Association, 66 percent of those in theNational Football League and 17 percent of those in Major League Baseball. Yet they account for only 28 percentof those people running day-to-day operations in the NBA, 13 percent in the NFL and three percent in baseball.The picture was even bleaker in in the increasingly lucrative business of college sports where nearly 90 percentof NCAA Division | athletic directors were white, and only 43 black males counted among 2,733 NCAA coaches(1.5 percent).In an elite arena traditionally reserved for white males, Don King stands alone as the first and only AfricanAmerican to have controlling interest in a major television sport in the United States. It has widely reported thatfie has generated more millions for more fighters than any boxing promoter in history. It is no secret that he alsoSpntinues to donate much of his wealth to support education, people in need and many organizations, includingsome that critics have regarded as controversial, like Nelson Mandela's African National Congress during itst to overthrow apartheid.Don King's prominence. independence, and longevity in the boxing business reflect the reality that some inr nation's power structure are unwilling to readily accept. Like others before him who have advanced the causeAfrican Americans, he has challenged and overcome barriers imposed by institutional racism to reach thepinnacle of success in his field. As a result, those who seek to maintain the unjust economic and politicalimbalance that persist in professional sports regard him as a serious threat.+ce_heKRleaver's Klippins .In Retrospect: There Really IHistory to Black Music...By Jim CleaverJust recently, there was an announcement that June had been proclaimed Black Music Month. This of courseyrought about some serious questions. Who proclaimed it such? What purpose does it serve? And if there wasome money to be made. who will make it?As background, in the month of September, 1960, a record promoter, Granville (Granny) White, orchestratedhe signing of Aretha Franklin to Columbia Records. That was a major event in the annals of music. The signingook place in the lavish Detroit home of her father, the late Rev. Clarence Lavon Franklin.Aside from superstars like Billy Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan, Quincy Jones and a scant handful of others. thiswas the first time such a furor had been made about signing a recording artist.After a few false starts Aretha Franklin's career really took off and today she is called the Queen of Soul. Weneed to remember that the late Dinah Washington also held the title. There was somebody before her and beforerer. The list seems interminable.What we need to remember is simple. These artists are great. Make no mistake about it. They deserve everyccolade they get. Some deserve even more. We must remember however that all of this hype brings money to theecord companies and the radio stations. The promoters of major concerts use the hype to build their audiences.There is no conscience here. Social or otherwise.It is interesting to note that as we celebrate Black Music Month, we are also celebrating artists whose primaryhrust is to see how profane they can be without incurring the wrath of the Federal Communications Commission.In that same context, we are also celebrating artists whose song lyrics invite us to kill police officers and/orll figures of authority. These are the artists whose vocabularies start and end with four letter and five letter wordshat we were taught thal should not be used in mixed company.There is a kind of sadness about the notion of celebrating artists who commonly refer to women as prostitutesind female dogs in the common parlance. oThis brings about a question. Does the idea of financial success supplant the essential principles and moralshat have been a way of life in black communities since the end of slavery? Is it more important to drive a $75,000ptomobile and live in Beverly Hills than to protect the sanctity of our women and children?". Whatever happened to the Gamble and Huffs, Mickey Stevenson, Berry Gordy and another long list ofjtimate musicians? Of course we have Babyface Edmunds and his wife and groups Boyz to Men, Take Six andof the dynamic female singers. Oleta Adams, Mariah Carey, etc. These people are legitimate in theirh and their delivery and they make music a joy.With few exceptions, they don't even come close to the rapping rubble where money is concerned. Theseists are truly deserving of honor and glory.The problem is that our young people are flocking to the other side of the fence. It is all but impossible todown any street anywhere in metropolitan Los Angeles without being blasted out of your shoes by theselous booming speakers with profanities spewing like garbage in a strong wind.Perhaps we should look at the various days of celebration and then make some decisions about what we want} music in the community at large. This may very well be a time when parents need to pay close attention tophat their children are hearing, dancing to, and otherwise mimicking.« " It is kind of like when a child is small and does some small thing out of the ordinary. Parents think it is cutehave the child show off to the neighbors and the friends. A little later when that thing, whatever it is, becomesive to both the parents and society, it is to late too change the child. The die is cast and there is not muchbe done to change it.- " we come back to the words of King Solomon. oTrain up a child in the way he should go and whenis old, he will not depart from it.We celebrate Black Music. We have not however, separated the wheat from the chaff. We are so involved inee gen -- big money -- that we have forgotten that we have a moral obligation to our children and to ouras Despite the cries to the contrary, we have come a long way as a people.

The chance of a- Black high schoolathlete making it to the pros in any sport is 1 in 18,000. Only 2.3 percent or 215 of the 9,500 college footballseniors will be drafted by the NFL.

As of 1998 there were no Black football, baseball, or basketball team owners. There are fewBlack baseball managers, or football coaches. There was only one Black team doctor in baseball, none in football,and only a handful of Black team trainers in all the sports combined._ That is not where the real money is made for non-players anyway. In 1996, there was $14 billion yearlyinvolved in product marketing, franchising, leasing and sports agentry in the big three pro sports, baseball.basketball and football. Pro sports owners and players have not moved mountains to Blacks get a piece of theaction either. Of course, it takes capital, connections and clout to crack this rigidly closed circle, and most Blacks,or Whites for that matter, don't have them. But many blacks do, and they are still endlessly stonewalled when itcomes to getting league owners to believe that they can deliver.Many Black Athletes are also stonewalled when it comes to getting a college degree. The report card on thegraduation rates for Black athletes at 50 Division I schools is an abomination. The majority of the schools duringthe 1990s graduated less than one-third of their Black players. Four graduated none. Many athletes waltz throughthree or four years at college and still emerge as educational cripples, with a curriculum filled with Physicaleducation, crafts, Physical therapy, and piles of general studies courses. ;The even sadder thing is that many adult Blacks are guilty of sowing fields of delusions about sports amongthe young. This includes many Black parents, relatives, friends, associates, teachers and counselors whoobsessively demand that their children excel on the diamond, or gridiron, but not in the classrooms.Fortunately however, there are also many African American parents who understand that the antidote tosports Junkism is 0 hold coaches, teachers and counselors accountable for their children's performance in theclassroom, not just on the athletic court or field. need support and encouragement.

First, they need a base, acenter, a place. All these words addup to security, the feeling that "nomatter what happens I have a placeto go for support." In addition,teenagers need their families toprovide them with chances todevelop responsibility and inde-pendence. For the early adolescent,it may mean going to camp for aLooking Back.....week and getting homesick. For theolder teen, it may mean a summeror after-school job. Third, teenag-ers need rules and expectationsfrom their families. A youth whodoesn't know what his parentsexpect of him may already feel"lost" in the world. He'll go lookingfor direction--and he will find itsomewhere, even if it is with somecult or gang. The best ruleshowever are flexible ones. A youngperson needs to clearly know whena Tule has been broken. But, he alsoneeds to know how to restorefamily relationships. Fourth, anyteenager needs a lot of "communi-cation" with the adults in hisfamily. Parents can use mealtime tobe interested and to ask non-threatening questions, such as "Iheard this record on the carradio--what do you think itmeans?" Teenagers need importantthings from their families. Theyneed a base, some opportunities,some expectations and some "com-munication." It is those things, notmovies, cars, and new clothes thathelp your teenager become amature adult. .

tions is exactly the kind of abusewe have been trying to prevent,"said Pierre Sutton, chairman ofBlack Owned Broadcasters(NABOB).At issue is a 1997 internalmemo that was circulated atAmcasts, a division of Katz MediaGroup based in New York City. Itwas included in an Amcasts train-ing manual, which told companysalespeople to use pitches such asbuying too many ads on ethnicradio stations would mean " losingthe more important white segmentof the population, ? advertisers canreach "all the ethnics you needwithout even using an ethnicstation" and, "when it comes todelivering prospects, not suspects,the urbans deliver the largestamount of listeners who turn out tobe the least likely to purchase."Soon after acquiring a copy ofthe memo, Tavis Smiley, a politicalcommentator who appears twiceweekly on the "Tom JoynerMorning Show" (which is syndi-cated to more than 95 Black radiostations. including § HowardUniversity's WHUR), launched aseries of commentaries that tookKatz to task.Smiley chastised Katz owner,Stuart Olds, in four consecutivecommentaries for allowing a racistattitudes to exist within the corpo-ration, and he encouraged TomJoyner Show listeners to call andfax their displeasure with thecompany until Olds agreed toapologize publicly to Black radiostations owners and their listeners.The plight of Black-owned media'sattempt to achieve equitable treat-ment from corporate Americanthrough advertising has been along and enduring struggle. Aswas stated by Smiley, Black radiostations not only receive less thattheir fair share of advertising fromcompanies supported by Blackconsumers, but they are also paidless for the amount of advertisingthey do receive. The same holdstrue for Black print media, as well.Dorothy Leavell, president ofthe National Newspaper PublishersAssociation, a trade associationrepresenting the nation Ts blacknewspapers, charged Katz Mediamemo "is further proof that racismhas permeated this country. Theywere foolish enough to put it onpaper at Katz, you can transfer it toany of the other advertising agen-cies. I'm not surprised, but amdisappointed that those who re-ceived such a memo have not takensteps to cut out the attitude that allAfrican Americans are criminals."Hector Hanibal, program di-rector at WHUR, agrees that such amemo is not unique to companieslike Katz Media. " This is a reallya big, big problem, and not just forKatz Media. Discrimination isindeed widespread in this industryand it really needs to be ad-dressed.""Texaco stepped it up and weexpect the advertising agencies tostep it up, too," commented Joyner,who along with Smiley, finally metwith Katz Media President StuartOlds. "We want results now. It'stime to right the wrongs thatproduced this."While noting that the memowas a "draft document neverintended to be released," Oldsstated that he wanted Black listen-ers to know" that is was totallyunacceptable and not reflective ofthe way we strive to do businessinside of our organization."According to Joyner, Oldsannounced several new steps hiscompany will take to addressThe Minorityfoyror=m lalenee , .

a a RN I gy My|'June 27, 1998 - July 3. 1998The o M ?? Voice Newspaper|| CAPE TOWN. S. AFRICA - Casting|| light into the murkiest corners ofthe apartheid state and the humanpsyche, a panel probing humanrights abuses in South Africa isrevealing a world of science gonemad.Holding the first-ever hear-ings on the apartheid-era govern-ment's secret biological andchemical weapons program, _ theTruth and ReconciliationCommission has been listening toscientists describe making poisonedchocolates, hatching plots to give Nelson Mandella brain damage andtrying to find a germ-warfare agentthat would kill only blacks.Ethical standards were aban-doned as researchers tried todevelop lethal, untraceable poisonsand an anti-fertility drug aimed atthe country's black population.The army scientists explainedthat they were virtually brain-washed by government propagandain the 1980s that South Africa wason the brink of falling to commu-nism and black rule. They testifiedthey were willing to stop at almostnothing to defend white power."That was the psychosis thatprevailed," scientist Dan Goosensaid."I was not thinking rationallyat the time," said Goosen, whoheaded a covert biological researchlaboratory. "Today I know I waswrong. You can't do that to people,it is just not justifiable.Retired Archbishop DesmondTutu said this week's testimony wasthe most shocking he has heard aschairman of the " TruthCommission, set up in 1995 to healracial diversions._ oHere are people of highintelligence, coldly and clinicallyin white laboratory coats, workingon things they know were meant tobe instruments of destroying peo-ple." Tutu told the AssociatedPress.One _ researcher, AndreImmelman, kept freeze-dried sup-plies of deadly cholera and anthraxin a small refrigerator locked in hisoffice safe. The amounts wereenough to cause major epidemics._ The scientists said they sup-plied apartheid hit squads withpoisoned drinks and cigarettes.Any who had bouts about theirwork faced possible assassination ifthey broke ranks, claimed scientistSchalk van Rensburg."We had been told in nouncertain terms, if you let the sidedovin you are dead," van Rensburgsaid.Apartheid State Researched Race-Specific Bacterial Weapons)Unlike many policemen, sol-diers and black liberationwho have told the TruthCommission of their crimes, themen appearing this week were Teducated at top universities anddedicated their lives to science.Run through front companies,the biological and chemical weap-ons program was controlled by Dr.Wouter Basson. He had not testifiedyet because his lawyers fear he mayprejudice his upcoming court caseon charges he had a sidelinebusiness going, making and sellingthe drugs mandrax and ectasy.However, Goosen gave someinsight into Basson's mindset. Thescientist recalled having tea andbiscuits with Basson during a breakfrom their deadly research."One day the black peoplewill take over this country. Whenmy daughter asks me Daddy, whatdid you do to prevent this T, myconscience will be clear," Bassonsaid, according to the testimony.Van Rensburg described plansto poison Mandela, before he .became president, with thallium to -damage his brain. There was no :suggestion the plan was ever .carried out.The African National ©Congress, which won the country's «first all-race elections in 1994 that - marked the end of apartheid, .We'll be closed onthe fourth eee oy Third Reich.

Favorite Channe invisible to the larger society.uction, SelectiA half century later, there isan invisible group of people in oursociety, including in communities1 of color, but there is no hard-hittingnovel to tell their story. Theinvisible people are those withdisabilities.Eight years ago, theAmericans with Disabilities Actsigned and went into effect,prohibiting discrimination on thebasis of disability. And, while it hasmade a significant difference in thelives of many people, the 54million Americans with disabilitiesstill face all kinds of discrimina-tion.A few weeks ago, I wasspeaking in California and I toldthe story of a federal judge whosemother had taught him an impor-tant lesson as a child growing up inthe South. When his mother sawbusses passing an elderly Blackwoman at the bus stop in front oftheir house, his mother went andstood with the Black woman so thatthe bus would stop.A few days ago. I received anote from a woman in a wheelchairwho was attending that meetingand who shared her own similarexperiences today. Often, she has toget a friend or colleague to standwith her at the bus stop to ensurethat the bus will stop for her, but itstill happens.Not surprisingly, that dis-crimination against people of coloris evident in the job market. Abouthalf of working age Americanswith disabilities are employed andonly one-fourth severe disabilitieshold a job. People of color withdisabilities face double or triplejeopardy when it comes to employ-ment. Almost three-fourths ofAfrican Americans and more thanhalf of Hispanics with disabilitiesare unemployed. The tragedy isthat most disabled people arecapable of working.In addition, people of colorwith disabilities are less likely to, receive rehabilitation services andeducational opportunities are lessavailable and affordable to them.Inadequate transportation andhousing for people with disabilitiesin disadvantaged communities islimited at best. There are fewermentors and role models for peopleof color with disabilities andmainstream job coaching, on-the-job training and internships are lessfrequently available to themFinally, some of the organiza-tions designing programs for theemployment of persons with dis-abilities do not clearly understandthe cultural differences in commu-ion© SoundRite?"?
