Negro slavery is again facing the U.S. Courts, through a com- plaint filed in the U.S. District Court, Central District of California on Jan. 26, 1988. The complaint is a class action suit filed on behalf of all U.S. Negroes of slave descent by Dr. Robert Brock and the Self De termination Committee, Inc., a civil rights organization. Relief sought by Negro Slave De scendants are as follows: self-de- termination, reparations and repatriations. The idea of Japanese Ameri- cans receiving reparations for three years of interment has heightened the awareness of Black Americans to also receive reparations for more than three hundred years of unpaid and un- compensated chattel slave labor and the value thereof. The Japanese were reparated $20,000 for each descendant or persons interred. When the Declaration of Inde- pendence was being declared and the Constitution framed, guaranteeing ‘‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’ to Americans, did not include African shaves and their de- scendants. Thomas Jefferson, who owned slaves himself, and whose original draft of the Dec- laration of Independence at- tacked the ‘Peculiar Institu- tion,”’ (Slavery), was haunted by his own hypocrisy. Four Years before his death he wrote a friemd; ‘‘Like a firebell in the night, it awakened me and filled me with terror. I considered it at once as the knell of the union.'’ He also warned that ig- noring the slavery issue may be hushed for the moment, but ad- ded, ‘This is only a reprieve, not a final sentence.”’ Judge A. Leon Higgin- botham, Jr. one of six black Americans to reach the Federal Appellate bench, shows in his first book ‘‘In The Matter Of Color - Race & The American Legal Process: The Colonial Period” how the law itself con- tributed to inflicting injustice on millions of Americans, solely on the basis of their color.” In his Epilogue we are informed that just before Chief Justice Earl Warren died, Judge Hig- ginbotham spoke with the Chief Justice in great detail about his ten year research on colonial slavery. The Chief responded, “IT would be especially in- terested in seeing how at this particular time because of a reappraisal of my own thinking concerning slavery not only what it meant in the past but the danger of what it will still mean to the future.”’ Judge Higginbotham in re- sponse: ‘I concur with the con- cern expressed by Chief Justice Warren that the impact of our fr. 4 : 9 ave UNE numares cra SEC. 101.

For there is a nexus be- tween the brutal centuries of colonial slavery and the racial polarization and anxieties of to- day. The poisonous legacy of legalized oppression based upon the matter of color can never be adequately purged from our society if we act as if slave laws had never existed. Unless their color was their crime, these blacks were innocent. Under the colonial rule of law, however, blacks who sought the same freedom that was now demand- ed as the inalienable right of whites could be scalped, muti- lated, or even killed. In every major respect, the colonial law itself was an instrument of in- justice.” ‘They (Black Leaders) should petition Congres to pay reparations to American Blacks instead of continuing to support affirmative action legislation,’’ said the late Clarence Pendleton, Chairman of the U.S. Civil Rights Com- mission, at a news conference in Los Angeles, In a May 17 article mystery. In the May 17, article, in the Los Angeles Times, writ- ten by Bob Baker. Mr. Pendleton is quoted a3 saying ‘There is nothing I see in the law that requires anybody to make up for the past. If Ameri- ca owes Blacks something for the past, for the terrible state of slavery,’ said Mr. Pendleton, “Black leaders (including Black U.S. Congressmen) should take a more direct approach of petitioning Congress for repara- tions that would be paid to all Blacks ‘‘instead of tinkering”’ with civil rights laws, said Mr. Pendleton. “Dymally Challenges Blacks To Seek Reparations Bill Like Japanese Americans’ is the heading on an article in the August 22, 1988 issue of JET Magazine. The article stated that: ‘‘The recent passage of a bill giving $20,000 to each Japanese American (or their de- scendents) held in interment camps during World War II has created a controversy among Black officials.’’ ‘‘The con- troversy is a result of Black leaders who believe, like the Japanese, should also be com- pensated for the racially motivated injustices of slavery.’ ‘‘The (Japanese) bill, ironically, was first introduced by the Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Mervyn Dymally. However, Dymally’s response to critics is that talk without action is all he’s heard from Black leaders approaching him about similar legislation for Blacks.”’ Inspired by the credo of - Queen Mothers’ 1962 REPARATIONS NOW slogan “to eradicate inequality by the year 2019,” U.S. Congressman Major Ownes of New York writ- ing in the Point of View, a publi- cation of the Congressional Black aucus Foundation, Spe- cial Edition, Convention 1988, stated ‘‘..individual leaders must set forth detailed plans. At this pivotal poitn in our his: tory, not to be bold will con- stitute a betrayal of our people. To compensate for centuries of injustices and to overcome the severe damage of the past, we must all recognize the need for reparations for all descendants of (U.S.A.) African slaves.”’ Last month the Second Annual Black Reparations Conference, sponsored by the Baltimore and National Self Determination Committee highlighted the need for congressional action for pay- ment of reparations to Black Americans. In: the furtherance of the National efforts to peti- ‘tion Congress, as well as to meet the challenge of Black Congressional spokesmen to write legislation and to intro- duce a bill into the 101st Con- gress, the Self Determination Commitee, Inc., Robert Brock, National President, accom- panied by Rose Nyenewe Tay- lor, Chairperson of the Bal- timore Chapter, attended the 18th Annual Legislative Week- end of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation, Inc., Wash- ington, D.C. September 15-17, 1988. Mr. Brock and Nyenewe visited the offices of Con- gressmen Hawkins, Mfume, Dymally, Owens, stokes, Flake and a meeting with Amelia L. Parker, Executive Director of the Congressional Black Caucus; Mr. Brock drafted legislation and presented a Black Reparations Bill and the U.S. Slaves’ Descendents Reparations Research Act to the Congressmen with direction that they introduce them into the 101st / 1989 U.S. Congress. In brief the Slaves Descendent Reparations Research Act shall under section 104 (b) Uses Of Funds - sponsor research and to publish and distribute the hear- ings findings, and recommenda- tions of researchers, specialists and other interested persons re- tained to examine the issues set forth in section 105 of this Act, etc. The New York Chapter of the Self Determination Committee, Inc. is chaired by Sayeed Salad- heen (Lloyd Whitefield Butler, Jr.) located at 2090 ADam Clay- ton Powell Blud., Theresa Towers 12th Floor.

Two preceding articles, ‘“Thank God it’s over’ and ‘Thank God, it’s not Over yet’”’ examine the validi- ty of campaign workers who are paid to influence voters at polling places. Without a doubt the prac- tice can, in a few cases, be found legitimate. But most of the time it is prostitution; nothing more, nothing less. We most often hear or use the word prostitution within the sexual context. But let’s briefly examine the broader definition of prostitution. Pro- stitution is the submission to an immoral or unworthy act for money. Therefore in the political "arena people who accept money and those who offer it are prac- ticing prostitution whether they admit it or not. Here in Pitt County the prac- tice of this prostitution has indeed zotten to a dangerous level. Peo ple who accept the money and stand at the polls will openly ad- mit that pay is their motivation. They will look you in the eye and explain, ever so sincerely, that they need the money due to hard financial circumstances, unemployment, etc. Even leaders in the Black community have been heard declaring how much money they received or would require too produce poll workers. In fact, Black leaders who are used as puppets by wealthy white candidates are the major league prostitutes of our community. Among these leaders and workers we hear no discus- sion of issues or what a particular candidate will afford the Black cOommmunity. These folks couldn’t care less about a can- didate’s record and what he or she has or has not supported. The basis of their political philosophy is ‘‘work for the candidate who can pay for your time and ef- forts.”’ Campaign workers should be volunteers who believe that their candidate is worthy of the time and effort needed for election. If the cindidate’s campaign can af- ford to pay expenses such as transportation cost or food, it is totally appropriate to allocate monies to defray such costs.

Thanks especially for what you write on parenting. That is my concern. Sometimes I wonder if it is more difficult today being a parent. I do not remember my parents being so actively in- volved with my school when I was a child in the 40’s. Today it is hard for parents to keep up with supervising school work and projects. Plus, I get the feel- ing that many teachers do not welcome parents asking too many queations. How can I understand and fol- low what my child is doing in classes and yet not be a bother to his teachers? I have always been active in the P.T.A. PTA Member Dear PTA Member: Keep your PTA involvement. Schools do need active parent support. It also tells your child and the importance of education to you. Yes, it is more difficult being a parent today than it was 40 years ago. It is also more dif- ficult being a student. The top seven discipline problems in public school 30 years ago were listed as: talking, chewing gum, making noise, running in the CARLTON RARRETT halls, cutting in line, improper clothing, littering. Today the top seven problems are drug abuse, alcohol abuse, preg: nancy, suicide, rape, robbery, violent assault. They are listed in order as educators saw them then anc see them now. Many students today are fear- ful of their lives and remain an- xious, tense and guarded throughout the day. They are taught to: ‘‘just say No’ and (Continued on page 3) A PERSONAL WORD My Dear Fellow Readers: First, I want you to know how grateful I am for you.

People light them on Christmas Eve as a guide to the Christ Child. 2. Bells. The custom of bells ringing began as a way to drive away evil spirits. Today, bells ring at Christmas as a symbol of the happy news of Christ’s birth. 3. Mistletoe. Hundreds of years ago, people hung mistletoe over their doors to keep away the evil spirits. Those who entered got a kiss as a symbol of love. People also believed that mistletoe could keep them healthy and their mar- riages happy. 4. Stars. The stars are the sym- bols of the beautiful star of Bethlehem that led the Wise Men to the Christ child. 5. Creches. The first creche, or manger scene, was created by St. Francis of Assisi in 1224. He us- ed live animals and people in his scene. Today, many manager scenes are smaller models made of wood or china or other materials. 6. Poinsettia. In 1828, Dr. Joel Roberts Poinsett brought the first poinsettia to this country from Mexico. He was serving as our first ambassador to that country. The legend is that a Mexican boy had no gift for the Christ child. As he knelt to pray, a beautiful 37 1%? E weeks before Christmas.

In an- cient days, some people believed that holly would ward off evil Spirits. Christians too believe that the berries stood for the blood Christ shed. The leaves stood for his crown of thorns. Evergreens stay green all year and bear fruit in the winter. For this reason, they are a symbol of never-ending life. 8. Ornaments. The first Christmas trees were decorated with real fruit, flowers and lighted candles. These ornaments were too heavy and dangerous. German glass blowers started making lighter glass balls as decorations. 9. Santa Claus. Santa Claus is one of many gift bringers who delivers gifts around the world. For example, gifts in Italy are delivered by an old fairy called Befana. What does the American Santa Claus look like? More than 100 years ago, the famous Thomas Nast drew a series of cartoons that gave us a very good idea. 10. Stockings. Hanging stock- ings goes back to an old legend about St. Nicholas. The story is that St. Nicholas dropped bags of gold down the chimney for three girls who had no wedding gifts. The bags landed in stockings that were hanging to dry. 11. Cards. The custom of sen- ding printed cards started in England in the 1840s. The artist John Horsley created the design and about 1,000 cards were printed. Today, more cards are sent at Christmas than at any other time of the year. 12. Wassail. Years ago, many English people held Christmas feasts. As they drank a hot punch, they would say “‘Wassail’”’, which means ’’to your health’’. Today, many people serve hot punch called wassail. Kodak Disc Film home and trimmed it with candles. Much later, Germans brought the custom to this country. 14. Yule log. People of Ghene believed that burning a big log drove away evil spirits. Through the years a custom grew to cut down a big tree several weeks before Christmas. There was a belief that anyone who helped would have good luck. Today, some people burn a special big log, called a ‘‘yule’”’ log, at Christmas. Christmas is a Christian holi- day that celebrates the birth of Jesus Christ. The story of Christmas comes chiefly from the gospels of Saint Luke and Saint Matthews in the New Testament. according to Luke, an angel appeared to Shepherds outside the town of Bethlehem and told them of Jesus’s birth. Matthew tells how the Wise Men, called Magi, followed a bright star that led them to Jesus. The traditional colors of Christmas are green and red. Green represents the conti- nuance of life through the winter and the Christian belief of eternal life through Christ. Red sym- bolizes the blood that Jesus shed at His crucifixion. The names of the three kings of Orient who brought gifts to Baby Jesus are Gaspar, Melchoir, and Balthazar. The gifts were gold, frankincense and myrrh. Santa’s eight reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixon, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Fathers destroy their children’s self-esteem with unkind words like: ‘“You must be stupid’; ‘‘Why are you crying? Are you a crybaby? How come secure young man or woman w is so terrified of failing that he or ‘she will do nothing. Fathers, do you like being put down?

Pitt, Martin Agencies Receive State Grants A community development cor- ‘poration in Greenville and a minori- ‘ty credit union serving Windsor and ‘Williamston are among 21 recipients Statewide named to receive North Carolina Rural Economic Develop- -ment Center grants. Billy Ray Hall. president of the State development center. an- nounced the grants which total $1.5 million. They are designed to boost local economic activities. In Greenville, the West Greenville Community Development Corp. has been awarded a grant of $44,000 to help carry out effective community economic projects within the city of Greenville, Hall said. The local grant will assist in a housing ownership demonstration project within the West Greenville area. Barbara Fenner is coordinator for the project. A minority credit unions grant of $241,000 was made to St. Luke Credit’ Union in Windsor which serves Ber-. tie and Martin Counties. Amaza Mitchell is the coordinator. The purpose of the grant is to pro- vide an opportunity for the credit union to increase loan size as well as to increase the number of loans for start-up of minority businesses and opportunities, said Hall. ‘The grant to St. Luke Credit Union is the largest of any of the 21 ap- proved grants, the spokesman said. Based on guidelines required by state legislation, $1 million of the pilot project funds were allocated to minority credit unions, with 10 unions receiving grants. The re- maining $500,000 grant funds were allocated to 11 community develop- ment corporations.

So long as crime is perceived as being a problem confined to the black community, the broader society will continue to ignore it or follow narrow, self- ‘: defeating policies.

Lo be obvious to everyone, but as long as such condi- + ;' Fr tions are confined to the black community, the broader society “shows no interest. Three decades ago, the prisons did not have majority minority _ populations. All of this is a new development. During some of the most oppressive times for black people, we were not the ones who populated the jails. Something has happened over the last two to three decades in our neighborhoods. So the black community must begin to put in place programs that address crime. We run a major crime prevention program in the National Urban League. We call it: ‘‘Crime is not a part ‘of the black heritage.’’ _ That program is based on the need to do several things. We ‘‘have to insist that black people in our community live by our traditional value systems that says we will not kill each other; that we will not steal from each other. We will not have drugs in our community and have kids afraid to go to bed at night because of the gunshots outside their win- dows, or old people unable to go out of their apartments because somebody is going to take their Social Security checks. We have to instill and re-instill in our community that value system that says we must care for each other and protect each other. . Today, committed people are organizing neighborhoods and communities saying: ‘‘Let’s tell the pushers they can’t operate here.”’ They’re demanding that the police protect black neighborhoods with the same concern with which they protect white neighborhoods. And they’re bringing that message to bee projects and homeowners, young people and family At the same time, we’ve got to keep up the pressure to provide our young people with clear alternatives to self-destructive behavior. It’s a double-edged problem — getting tough on those who violate community standards will work if there are incen- tives that pull kids away from the street. . That means drawing young people into tenants’ patrols and other anti-crime activities, while providing athletic and recrea- tional activities for them that channel energies into fun, not destruction. And it means fighting even harder for the social changes, bet- ‘ter education and training opportunities, and more humane policies that give kids a better chance in life. Clearly -these are responsthilities of the larger-society but whatever society’s unmet responsibilities, we can’t allow our communities to be ravaged by predators preying on their neighbors. We should not and do not have to tolerate crime and drugs in our neighborhoods. rime is not part of black heritage “« Crime is a problem that the black community must begin to C5'A9'CD'CO'C.Oie a EY, RELY, 2/4 = ~The Schwinn DX-900 Exerciser.

Based on daily con- versation and behavior at home, that child learns what is accept- able and unacceptable behavior. Chil go to school with dif- ferent levels of intent to learn. This is largely based on what they know is expected or demanded of them in the family. Family expectations are to be re- enforced by the teachers ex- pectations. Some homes establish’ that the acquisition of knowledge is the function of their children from infancy to adolescence. It is known as their purpose at that stage of life. Other homes establish no special purpose. Their children play around, take it easy and don’t conform to ac- tivities that are structured, stressful, It is usually those children who go to classes and seek to do the minimum work. They may finish school, but still see how much study they can avoid. As a parent you have the re- sponsibility to guide your child. Schools are there to help you maximize your child’s potential.

The eliminate this prostitution from our midst. Have leaders and workers discovered the harm that they do through the ‘‘work for pay” ethic? Will those who have read these articles sudden- ly gain higher integrity? Not . hardly! The end of this nightmare will slowly occur as campaign strategists look at the dollars they spend compared to the voters that they get. For- tunately, many of the paid poll workers are so obviously unin- formed that their ability to ac- tually influence others is affected significantly. They may delivera few votes, but the most that they do is to insult the real volunteers and even incite anger in others. This inability to actually in- fluence votes is evident by the fact that some of 1988’s big poll- spenders were also big losers. These losers will not keep coming back after they find that the pro- stitutes can’t guarantee victory. After a long while, candidates will discover that support in the Black community must be earn- ed, not bought. A Look At The Bush Administration Fo, jy, Your Advertising Needs Call TO BE EQUAL — JOHN E. JACOB The election is over—the mudslinging, the hoopla, and the excitement are dying down. Now the real show begins—the fram- ing of goals and policy directions for the next administration. Once Ronald Reagan rides off into the sunset of retirement, the new president will have to lead America to new, higher ground. And the way to do that is to publicly declare that elimination of racial inequality will be the a prime goal of administration. We've got to close the gap that separates whites and blacks in every sphere of American life and the new administration cut put us on that road.

Lady’s Day hit ‘‘Kinapps” Fulton Street in Brooklyn last Saturday morning and found a | fabulous collection of gifts from the continent. Kinapps is a one-stop shop, that offers you hair care with an asymmetrical hair cut on one” level, and high-fashioned de-. signs with unique accessories on ,, the upper level. It’s the place to be for that spirit of Black- consciousness, a place where it grows and flows. For men and women, this ar-| ticulate shop is just one of Byll Lester’s chain of three barber shops in Brooklyn. A native of Florida, Lester started Kinapps in 1985 with Kinapps I at 192 Flatbush Ave. There’s a Kinapps II located at 225 Dekalb Ave. And Kinapps III, at 1213 Fulton St., is the only sh op where they manufacture many of the im- peccably tailored clothes sold in the upstairs Primitive Boutique. According to Greta Wallace, manager and buyer of the Primi- tive line, “The look is Regal.” “It starts at the top with great cut and well groomed hair. The line and structure with the Kinapps outfit are too fabulous. “Hair in general must be shaped properly in order for you to have a fashionable look,” she advised. “Your hairstyle doesn’t matter. Your style can be whatever works for you in your life... braids, perm, or Afro. Without good-looking hair, your look is incomplete.” Accessories make the outfit. The hat is very important this season. And Greta thinks, ‘‘ear- rings are the life. If you’re wear- nw TYNE’S NAIL CLINIC At The Hair Palace Next Door To Lupton Roofing Co.

That’s an achievable goal. The college students of the year 2000 are in first grade right now. The workers and managers of tomor- row’s economy are in school and on the job right now. And the means to transform to- day’s forgotten and neglected people into productive, taxpaying citizens are known to all of us, right now. ° There’s no mystery about how government can be a positive in- fluence on the social and economic framework of society. We know that when you create opportunities for decent housing and health care and provide quality education and training, you help people move from poverty to the middle class. And we have a body of epxerience—from the New Deal work programs to the GI Bill and the Great Society to state, local, and private programs in the 1980s—that tell us what works and what doesn’t work. We know that when kids attend quality pre-school programs they do better in school, have higher college attendance and employ- ment rates and lower teen pregnancy and crime rates.

Brawley ‘bugging’ man faces arraignment By JESSE H. WALKER The man who told authorities he secretly recorded the con- versations of Tawana Brawley’s advisers but later failed to pro- duce the tapes was indicted on two counts by a Manhattan federal grand jury last week on charges of perjury and obstruc- tion of justice. Samuel McClease, 26, the self- described surveillance expert, faces arrangement on the charges on Thursday, Dec. 8, said spokeswoman for U.S. At- torney Rudolph Giuliani. The indictment closely paral- leled a criminal complaint filed against McClease in the sum- mer. A resident of Newark, he has been free on $100,000 bail, but faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine on each count of the indictment if convicted. The indictment said McClease claimed to have 10 tapes of con- versations among Rev. Al. Sharpton and Brawley attor: neys C. Vernon Mason and Al- ton Maddox. 7 McClease maintained in state-_ ments to investigators and re-. porters that Sharpton hired him to bug his home as well as the home and office of Mason, and* that he had proof to refute. Brawley’s claim she was kid- naped and sexually assaulted by a gang of white men. Sharp- ton denied ever employing Mc- .

Caple has been pro fessor of theater arts at Shaw University for 20 years, and he is a prodigious writer, actor and producer of excellent theater. “‘Mudbank’”’ is his second musica! adventure. His first, ‘“‘Blues Alley,’’ was a popular hit in the area. Professor Caple is also the author of several full-length plays, all of which have been published and produced in the United States. One of his best works, ‘‘In My Father’s House,”’ ran for more than a month in Charlotte and was featured by G.M.

The loan funds are available for applications received by the Foundation up to 30 days before the end of the academic period specified in the loan request.

Supporting the use of sanctions is Dumisani Kumalo, a South African Methodist who is a journalist and authority on divest- ment and economic sanctions. Taking the opposing point of view is Walter Kansteiner, an Episcopal layman and staff member of the In- stitute on Religion and Democracy, Washington, D.C. When “Catch the Spirit’’ began its 1988-89 season in November, Anisa Mehdi, a field producer and correspondent for a weekly news magazine on New Jersey Network, joined the Rev. Hilly Hicks as co- host, according to Nelson Price, executive producer of the program. Mehdi is a former foreign desk producer for CBS News and producer for ‘‘60 Minutes,’’ ‘‘West 57th,’’ and ‘‘CBS Reports.’’ Hicks has been co-host since the program began in January, 1986. ‘We will continue to bring stories of personal witness, sacrifice and Christian commitment by United Methodist individuals and congrega- tions,”’ Price says. With the addition of two national networks — Trini- ty Broadcasting Network and VISN Interfaith Satellite Network — the viewing audience will grow in numbers and diversity, he adds. ‘Through the stories presented on ‘Catch the Spirit’ we intend to help United Methodist congregations effectively witness to the gospel of Jesus Christ. More and more, the program’s outreach will be. directed to the general viewing audience as well as to our own members,’’ according to Price. “Catch the Spirit,’ produced and distributed by United Methodist Communications (UMCom), is made possible by the denomination’s Television Telecommunications Fund and World Service Special Gifts. The Rev. Bruno Caliandro is producer and director of the program, which is closed captioned for the hearing impaired. “‘Catch the Spirit’’ can be seen Sundays, at 4:30 p.m. on Black Enter- | tainment Television (BET, cable). It is also available on American | Christian Television System (ACTSA), and Trinity Broadcasting Net- work (TBN). Consult your local listings for the time of broadcast in your area.

They add to the festive mood of the season. However to ensure a safe holiday season, Carolina Power & Light Co. suggests the following precautions be taken with elec- tric lights and other decorations: *Attach no more than three ERSIDES— Small ROB Shrimp. 2 Vegetables. Hushpuppies strings of lights to each extension cord. More than three may overload electric circuits. Miniature lights save energy and also reduce the chance of overloads and fires. *Before using, check all strings of lights for broken or cracked sockets and frayed wires. *Make sure that all sockets in your Christmas lights have bulbs. 4); ~. re ee ee ee “2... = _.. 2 ia ee ot i at oft wid 7. = BM oo opm =“ PPI SS SS: ___.

Mr. Hall stated that as a result of the Agricultural Credit Act of 1981, twenty-one (21) percent of the farm ownership loan funds and farm inventory property will be reserved for minority farmers in North Carolina. The targeting of loan funds to minorities will assist FmHA in its efforts to reverse the loss of farm owner- ship by that group.
