: Reparations and Economic Independence
by Dr. Conrad W. Worrill
In the process of building the Repa-
rations Movement, itis crucial to take
note of an important aspect. of our
work that Brother Chinweizu pointed
out in a paper read at the second ple-
nary session of the First Pan African
Conference on Reparations, held in
Abuja, Nigeria, on April 27, 1993.
Chinweizu observed that one of the
most important aspects of the Repa-
rations Movement ois our self-repair,
the change it will bring about in our
understanding of our destiny, the
change it will bring about in the
world. ?
-Chinweizu further observes in his
paper, oSo, reparations, like charity,
must begin with ourselves, with the
making of the new Black person, with
the making of a new Black world. ?
With this in mind, in our work in
the Reparations Movement, we must
direct our attention to our external
demands at the same time we work
on our intemal repair. We must do
both at the same time. .
It is especially obvious that at this
time of the year millions of African
people get caught up in the European
holiday season by participating in
helping the European economic order
remain strong. by purchasing their
products promoted in the name of the
holiday season. Let us reflect for a
- moment on this problem.
©. Since being captured from Africa
and introduced into the United States
of the world Ts greatest tragedies. This
is the tragedy of being completely
taken over by the Euro-ethnic order
of America, in almost every area of
our lives, at the detriment of our own
self-interest. This tragedy manifests
itself today most vividly in the area of
economic development in the A frican-
in-America Community.
If you observe the African Com-
munity in America throughout the
United States today, you will observe
that we do not control the economics
of our own communities. We have
allowed other ethnic groups to become
" the major benefactor of the economies
of our communities, This problem has
major impact on many of the prob-
lems we face, such as: the African
Family Crisis, African on African
(Black on Black) crime, drug and al-
cohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, HIV
and AIDS, cultural domination, edu-
cational genocide, and lack of real po-
litical power, et al.
All African people in America
need to stop and think for a minute
and ask the question, why do we so
easily and willingly spend our money
with other people and these same
people do not spend their money with
us? In fact, the White community will
not even allow African-in- American
businesses and cntcrpriscs, for the
most part, to open in their communi-
ties.
One of the most devastating out-
comes of this capturing process of
African people in America is the fact
that too often we look to other people
as-a people will not fundamentally
change until we decide to make these
changes and correct the habits that
keep us in an oppressive state. Con-
tinuing to spend our money with other
people at the expense of ourown com-
munities will continue to keep us in a
state of begging other people to do for
us what we should do for ourselves.
In America. most ethnic groups
tend to have control of items they
consume as part of their cultural heri-
tage and characteristics. For ex-
ample, the Chinese dominate the rice
industry and the Greeks dominate the
fruit and vegetable industry. African
people cat greens as a part of our
regular cultural eating habits, but we
do not control greens. Just think, if
we controlled the production, pro-
cessing, wholesaling, retailing and
distribution of greens in America, we
would considerably advance our own
economic situation.
During this season of super pro-
paganda and economic rip-offs, let us
recommit ourselves to at least become
apartof the MATAH Network, which
is the only African owned and con-
trolled channel df distribution featur-
ing hundreds of Black manufactured
products.
Let us stop the cycle of economic
dependence and struggle harder to
build the Reparations Movement. -

Dr. King Ts concept of osomebodiness, ? which symbolized the
celebration of human worth and the conquest of subjugation, gave black

nonviolent direct action, and his strategies for rational and
non-destructive social change, galvanized the conscience of this nation
and reordered its priorities. His wisdom, his words, his actions, his
commitment, and his dream for a new way of life are intertwined with
the American experience.

August 17, 1948
Morristown N.J. - The reason that Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of
South Carolina, Dixiecrat presidential nominee, does not resemble
his half-cousin, Robert G. Thurmond, Morristown post office
labor department worker, is that Robert G. is not of the Caucasian
There is, however, resemblance in their political aspirations as
it was pointed out by Mr. Thurmond here in an AFRO interview
on Wednesday. Both men are political leaders,
Their kinship was disclosed by Mr. Thurmond,who stated that
Gov. Thurmond Ts father, James E. (Snip) Thurmond, a prosecutor
in Edgefield, S.C. and his father, the late Thomas Thurmond,
were half brothers, which makes them half first cousins.
Says Well-Known
Asked whether he knew Governor Thurmond personally, and
whether the South Carolina State head recognized him as a rela-
tive, Mr. Thurmond said:
oI certainly do know Strom and he knows me and he knows of
our relationship because we were the only Thurmonds in
Edgefield. He was a youngster when I left home. ?
Mr. Thurmond, who is 63 years old, also explained that his
brother was named after Gov. Thurmond Ts father.
Before coming to Morristown, Mr. Thurmond lived in New
York City where he operated a barber shop. He then moved to
Newark where he continued in the barber trade.
He came to Morristown in 1926, opened and operated a caff?
here, popularly known as the Maple.Leaf Restaurant. Most of his
customers he said were from Newark and New York City.
It was during the period he was a bistro Operator that he was
drafted as Morristown Ts first colored Democratic leader.
Responsible for Job Open
When I accepted that post'15 years ago, ? he asserted, othere
were no colored persons in any of the better jobs here, not even a
cuspidor cleaner in the town's municipal buildings. ?
Although Morristown is predominantly Republican, he, a
Democratic leader, figured in the employment of six other per-
sons in the post office, of whom five are working at present.
. Mr. Thurmond said he was the first colored person to gain
employment in the Morristown post office, a job he has held for
the past 11 years.
Looking at least 15 years younger than hi¥ actual age, Mr.
Thurmond has been married twice and is the father of four chil-
dren, and though he was unable to name the number of grandchil-
dren, he did name four great-grandchildren,
Believes Cousin Made Mistake
On the subject of Governor Thurmond, to whom he voluntarily
referred as omy cousin, ? Mr. Thurmond said that he believed that
the South Carolina Governor made the worst mistake of his life in
accepting the nomination for U.S. President on the Dixiecrat-
State's Rights Party since the Democratic Party in the State is no
longer a ofranchised club ? and colored persons are permitted to
vote, ~
As a matter of fact, he had planned to write Governor
Thurmond to explain his views,
Mr. Thurmond said he never had corresponded with the
Goveinor but he kept close tab on him through the newspaper
reports. .
Mr. Thurmond stated that he believed that the Governor of
South Carolina would be one of the more liberal leaders in that
State if he ohad his own way about things. ?

August 17, 1948
By Douglass Hall
Augusta, Ga . - Three more Thurmonds, a housewife, a
presser, and a minister told the AFRO this week that they are
cousins of South Carolina Ts Gov. J. Strom Thurmond, Dixie
nominee for president. ,
They are Mrs. Eva (Thurmond_ Smith, half first cousin;
Thomas Thurmond, half first cousin; and the Rev. James R.
Thurmond, half second cousin..
Supporting the contention of Robert Thurmond,
Morristown, N.J., the three stated that, not only do they have
names spelled the same as the governor Ts, but that they are
blood relatives to him. -
Pastor Ts Statement .
oNot only that, ? asserted the Rev. Mr. Thurmond, who has
eight little Thurmonds (half third cousins), oIf you really want
to see the Thurmonds, you should go up into McCormick
County (joining Edgefield County).
oTt seems like everybody up there are Thurmonds. They are
of all colors. Some are so white that you cannot tell them from
the original Thurmonds.
oSometime ago I preached up there and after I had finished,
it seems like everybody in the church came up and told me
that they were Thurmonds. They may not be blood Thurmonds
but they have the name. ?
Matron Gives Proof
To support her belief that she was a blood Thurmond, and
not just someone who picked up the name, Mrs. Smith pointed
out a picture of her blue-eyed father, Thomas Thurmond, who
was the half brother of James Thurmond, the governor Ts father.
oWhy, I remember well when Gov. Thurmond Ts father used
to visit my grandfather, ? the Rev. Mr. Thurmond added, o and
they used to sit and eat, and talk for hours.
oI remember asking my grandfather why did that white T
man always visit our home. My grandfather told me that they
were brothers.
Plenty Relatives
There are several hundreds persons, colored and white, in
this city and surrounding communities who claim relation to
They asked me my name and I told them. Then they asked me
to spell it. I did. .
oThe man, who was also named Thurmond, asked me did
my folk come from over in Edgefield. I told him that they did.
He then told the folk in the office that we were all related. ?
The only thing that surprises colored Thurmonds is, why is
it so important that they are related to the white Thurmonds. It
is an old story and oeverybody in these parts knows it. ?

President Kevin Liles. "Russell is the vi-
sionary. I'm managing the process and
Lyor is holding down." In 2003 their cor-
porate trifecta definitely paid off, only
not as big as they have in previous years.
Sales of the Cradle 2 The Grave and 2
Fast 2 Furious soundtracks plus releases
from DMX and Joe Budden helped them
sell over 3.5 million units to date. But
their biggest releases came out of their
joint ventures with Murder Inc. and Roc-
A-Fella. Hammered with a $60 million
loss at the hands a TVT Records lawsuit,
reports of widespread unhappiness thru
their artist roster (evidenced in part thru
Def Jam's severing ties with lyrical pugi-
|| list Keith Murray and Foxy Brown un-
ceremoniously jumping. Ship), and a
bottom line that simply is not near what
it was in Def Jam's
heyday, there is a good likelihood there
may be some major overhauls looming at

This is a new year and many of
us have made New Years
resolutions that we know that we
can not keep. What I want. to
know is have you made
resolutions concerning your soul.
This is the hour that God has
prepared for you to walk into
your season, many of you have
sown and sown and sown and
now I hear the Spirit saying this
is your time to walk into your
season. You will reap the
harvest if you faint not. The wait
is over, just know that you are
more than a conquer and walk
into your season.
As we go forth in the New Year
we need to be prepared to fight
the enemy of our souls by
putting on the whole armor of
God. Let us examine God's dress
code. In the book of Ephesians
6: 13-18 we: find this description
of God's soldier.Wherefore take
unto you the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to
withstand. in the evil day, and
having done all, to stand. Stand
' therefore, having your loins girt
about with truth, and having on
the breastplate of righteousness;
And your feet shod with the
preparation of the gospel of
peace; Above all, taking the
shield of faith, wherewith ye
shall be able to quench all the
fiery darts of the wicked. And
take the helmet of salvation, and
the sword of the Spirit, which is
the word of God: Praying
always with all prayer and
supplication in the Spirit, and "
watching thereunto with all

for all saints;
If we take the.time to learn whet
the Lord is telling us we will live
a victorious year.
There will come a time in this:
Christian walk that you will
come to the end of your natural
strength and when that |
Paul tell you to STAND not only
does he. tell you.to stand but he
tells you how to stand. First, he
tells you to girt your loins with
the belt of truth. Truth is the part
of the armour that holds up
righteousness. Jesus said I am |
the way the truth and the life.
Know the truth and the truth will
make you free. In your loins are
your reproduction organs and the
devil desire to kill out your
ministry by causing you to walk
in deception. Secondly, he tells
you to put on the breastplate of
Tighteousness. The kingdom of
God is not meat and drink, bit
this is righteousness, peace and
joy in the Holy Ghost, . The
breastplate is a vital part of the
armour it protects the organs that
sustain life (the. organs .. that
pumps the blood, filters T the
blood and produce the blood,
heart, lungs and liver). Thirdly,
he tells you to shod your feet .
with the preparation T: of T the
gospel of peace. The Bible says
follow peace with all men and
holiness without no man shall
see the Lord. Walk in the peace
of God and that peace will
sanctify you wholly. Fourth; he
tells you: to take the shield of
faith that you. will beable to
quench all the fiery darts val the
wicked. i takes faith to fight a
spiritual warfare. Your Very
salvation is based on faith, it Ts by
grace through faith that you are ;
saved. Fifth, he tells you to take
the helmet of salvation. . The
helmet protects another vital.
organ of the body, the brain. The
brain gives you the ability to:
reason with God, to meditate on ~ E
Him, to commune with Him and
to just think on Him. If you.
damage the brain this will affect
the éntire body. Sixth, he tells ?
you to take the sword of the T?"?
Spirit which is the word of God. o
The word of God is quick and
powerful sharper than any two
edged sword. Rememiber this is
not a battle against flesh and
blood, it is spiritual and you must
defeat the enemy of your soul
with the word of God. Seventh,
he tells you to pray always in the
Holy Ghost. Praying in the Holy
Ghost is your secret weapon
because it is the Spirit that makes
intercession when we don't
know what to pray. Praying in
the Spirit also builds up your:

' Let us dress for the anny of God.
In 2004, be a brave and
courageous soldier that God ¢an

good fight of faith; don't give up
whatever you do. If you need

and we will pray with you that
you may gain strength to: fight.
