What You See Is, Is What You Get, What You Read Is What You Know & Save — Eastern North Carolina’s Minority Voice GREENVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 27834 THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23-WEDNESDAY, MARCH 1, 1989-THE ‘M’ VOICE Teddy White case to os By TIM HAMPTON News Editor Chancellor Richard Eakin moved to reevaluate the Teddy White case after mecting. with North Carolina National Associa- tion for the Advancement of Col- ored People officials and local black leaders Wednesday on the ECU campus. In reevaluating the case, Eakin reverses an earlier decision “that the actions taken by the University should not be dis- turbed.” The case involves an incident April 3, 1988 in which five white students were assaulted in a Gar- rett Dorm room by Teddy White, a black student. The incident oc- cured after the white students al- legedly made racial remarks to- wards White as he worked on his car. After being sentenced by the SGA Honor Board, White was suspended for two years from ECU. White pleaded guilty to five counts of simple assault in Pitt County Court Jan. 23. “A lot of things were put on the table, hopefully a closer look will be made into what happened on the night of April 3,” Dennis Schatzman, executive director of the NAACP, said after the meet- ing with the Chancellor Wednes- day. “He (Eakin) did agree to reevaluate the incident, but no other decisions have been made at this time,” Ben Irons, the ECU attorney, said. “The Chancellor agreed to look into the matter'further to assure racial harassment will not happen again,” Irons said. Eakin refused to comment on the latest developments after the meeting. In attendance at Wednesday’s meeting were Mayor Ed Carter, Pitt County Commissioner D.D. Garrett, and several other area black leaders in efforts to have “other voices” heard. “Plans to develop a racial harassment policy include secking input from all sides,” NAACP director says NC racist By TIM HAMPTON News Editor Racism is on the rise in North Carolina, Dennis Schatzman said in a speech on the ECU campus sponsored by Kappa Alpha Psi as part of Black History Month. The self proclaimed “Prince of Darkness at ECU” for his recent involvement in the Teddy White case, Schatzman, the executive director of the North Carolina National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said “Racism and white society arrogance is on the rise in North Carolina.” “We got trouble right here in river city,” Schatzman, who has been a Kappa Alpha Psi member 19 years as of Wednesday, said. “It is time for the youth to get sick and tired of putting up with this bullshit,” he said in encouraging young minorities to join the civil rights movement. Elected the youngest judge in Pennsylvania at age 31 according to Schatzman, he said he has fol- lowed the racial inequality in law. Schatzman, who became a mem- ber of the NAACP at age 15 as a condition of his release from re- form school,said people in power invent laws to justify what they do. “I hope I can instill this in you, don’t take anything for truth,” he added. . Citing laws centuries old which established legal inequal- ity for minorities, Schatzman said ‘stare decisis’ set precedence for injustice in the 20th century. Addressing the audience, he said “Never be ashamed of what youare or where you come from.” Quoting scripture, Schatzman said “Fight for what is right because the stone the build- ers refuse will become the head stone.” After his speech, Schatzman was asked about a Feb. 8 article in The Daily Reflector about racial problems at ECU. When asked about a passage. in the article reading “a black stu- dent in ECU’s Student Govern- ment Association recently was showered with black and brown jelly beans during a meeting, Schatzman said,” Schatzman said he has misquoted on the word ‘showered’.

In a February 8 letter to. Schatzman, Eakin said the administration is working on a harassment policy. “I want to assure an environment free of racial harassment,’’ Eakin said. Schatzman disutes Eakin’s through study jnto the White case in Feb. 13 letter to the Chancellor. ‘‘It is obvious to me that you have no inten- tions of assuring an environ- ment free of racial harass- ment. Actions speak louder than words,’’ Schatzman says in the letter. on John Bateman who allegedly made the racial slurs,” Schatzman said. In allegations made against the university’s handling of the White case, Schatzman says “de- spite evidence, the five white stu- dents were never punished.” Schatzman said Bateman should be suspended from ECU for making the alleged racial slurs. Bateman is “equally guilty” according to Schatzman in the letter. According to Schatzman, Bateman said “We didn’t know you monkeys were intelligent enough to open the hood. Why don’t you niggers go back to Af- rica? We'll f—k you niggers up if reevaluated “The case seems to be hinging © you don’t like it, come up here so we can f—k you motherf—kers up and we'll f—k your bitches up too.” But Bateman said Wednes- day night “I admit! did say some- thing outside the window, but it was not racial.” Kent Holcomb, who was also in the Garrett dorm room on the night of Feb. 3, 1988, said “there were no racial statements uttered outside that window.” “I'm in the Marine Reserves and I have more friends who are black in my unit than white,” Bateman said. “Verbal provocation, how- ever, cannot excuse Mr. White’s (Continued on page 7) tant professor of physical © medicine and rehabilitation at — the medical school, is assistant medical director. rite a ‘None of these services are new, but they have never been of fered in this type of program,” — said Wickizer, who is a vocatio rags an ; (Continued on page 8) We’ve Come By: James Vines As I pulled myself up from the very dusty street and began to brush the dirt from my clothes, the other police officer walked over to me and said in a southern drawl, ‘Now, boy, you let this be a lesson to you.” So my friend and I decided not to look for work anymore that day. It was very hot and walk- ing in the sun was very uncomfortable. The next day we decided we would look again because it was just about time for school to open, and we wanted to earn some money so that we could buy things that we needed for school. I was not so lucky getting a job but my friend was. The job that he hadcalled for him to go to work at four o’clock in the afternoon and eight o’clock on Saturday. After he had been there for about a month he was on a ladder one day putting up stock when one of the clerks who was white and female came over to help him finish his job since there was no one in the store to wait on. While he was up on the ladder, the young lady came up on a second ladder next to the one my friend was on. While he was still working he didn’t notice that she was about four or five inches from him when he had to reach around her to put up some things that he was holding in his hands. What he didn’t see was a man peering through the win- dow from the outside. He was in a position that made it appear that my friend had put his arm around the gir! as if he was hug- ging her and that was a big A Long Way mistake. The man looking in the window ran down the street yelling as loud as he could to see a nigger hugging a white woman. In about five minutes the streets were full of white men mulling around whisper- ing, ‘Let’s get that nigger.” By that time someone had called the police. After the police ar- rived they came in the store with their guns down shouting ‘Where is the nigger that hugg- ed the white woman?” and they all shouted at one time, ‘There he is.’’ So they pushed him to the door and put handcuffs on him and carried him off to jail. The next day the papers were full of the incident and it was not the way it happened. They took him down to the police sta- tion and booked him for attemp- ted rape and to be held without bond. On the tenth of the next month which was October, court was held. On Tuesday my friend was brought into court for trial handcuffed and shackled. The judge called my friend’s case the very first and in about thirty minutes the case was over because the girl testified that he never touched her and the jury found him not guilty. So the judge put him on probation for five years and he was never to go into that store again. Time went by and my friend was do- ing good but he should have never tried to stay in this town. One evening a car drove up to his house, a man got out and went to his front door and knocked. He met this man at the door and he began to talk. I couldn’t hear what they were saying but he soon left. The next day my friend told me he had gotten another job working nights as a cook at the White Elk Club. He worked for the club several months and everybody thought everything was fine until one day he went to work and didn’t come home that night. Two days passed, then three days, then two weeks, and he still didn’t come home. His mother began to worry because he was not the kind of child to stay away from home. We began to go about the neighborhood asking about him. The next day there came a heavy rain and thunderstorm. After the storm had ceased, two men who were on their way home spotted what looked like a body floating near the bridge where they were walking. They stopped to see if they could make it out and it was exactly what they thought it was. They turned around and ran back toward the city and as they had gotten off the bridge they flagged a motorist down and asked him if he would call the police. So he brought them back to town and got the sheriff and a deputy who called the fire department. They came and fished him out of the river. After he was brought into view witnesses say that the body was bruised badly, his hands was wired behind his back, his mouth was full of rags, his feet were tied together and his face was badly beaten. The next morning the paper said he had committed suicide.

JOHN MAYE both listened and talked to some of the most powerful educational forces in our country and state. His father, a powerful and ar- ticulate Baptist minister, whose sermons could ‘‘set any church on fire’, was ahead of his time in that he spoke out against racial injustice when it was not popular to do so. MAYE was a tall, brilliant- minded youth at Fleming Street School. He played football and worked at unskilled jobs to assist his brothers and sisters financial- ly since his parents died early. He graduated from A & T Col- lege in 1938, where he starred in football and track, attending four years on a football work-aid scholarship. In 1972 the A & T Alumni Association inducted him into the Sports Hall of Fame, posthumously, being nominated by his friend, colleague and fraternity brother, Howard C. Barnhill. His first teaching experience began at the Pitt County Training School in Grimesland, North Carolina as math and social studies teacher. In 1943, he became principal of the Winter- ville Colored High School with the railroad track dividing the elementary and high school (Continued from page 3) grades. During his principalship the school’s name was changed to W. H. Robinson Union School, from a retired educator who liv. ed and taught in Winterville. The faculty grew from eight teachers to fifty-nine and from less than three hundred students to over twelve hundred with an almost completely vamped physical structure and from six graduates in 1944 to one hundred in 1965, one of his major goals that he realiz- ed before complete integration of the schools in Pitt County. In 1976, the, Pitt County Board of Education named the new facility, the library/media center at Robinson Primary School in his honor and Robinson Heights, a subdivision behind the school in Winterville, you'll find Maye Drive, a street named in his honor. He also appears in the 1967 edi- tion of PERSONALITIES OF THE SOUTH and_ the Southeastern Division of the A & T Alumni Association in 1969 named him ‘“‘The Alumnus of the Year.” During his lifetime he was widely recognized as one of Pitt County’s more competent high school principals who happened to be Black. He died in Greenville in 1970, leaving behind him a rich legacy and memories of outstan- ding service as an administrator, a leader in political, social and fraternal circles as well as in his church, Sycamore Baptist, where he was a deacon, church treasurer, and the first director of the Board of Christian Educa- tion, as well as superintendent of the Sunday School.

Reportedly, Governor Martin listened at- tentively and said in a statement that he understands a little better the problems that the teachers face, while saying that he thought that the teachers now better understand the problems that he faces with a legislature controlled by Democrats. All of that notwithstanding the Iredell County News goes on record as being tv full support of the teachers’s cause We back the need for a raise because we feel that the job entrusted to our teachers is most important in shaping the minds of our _ ble. been the case. ‘buddy, buddy’’ Americans invariably losing ground. a change. youth. Further, we take the position that an increase in the pay rate will attract superior type teachers who will dedicate themselves to the job at hand over the long haul, rather than staying in the classroom until a better paying job comes along, as has too often We frown on the merit approach because no suitable objective means of judging the fruits of a teacher’s impact on his or her students as they meet life situations has been devised. We have seen on too many occasions, and in other fields as well, pro- motions supposedly made on merit take the route with African African American teachers over the years in North Carolina and in other states as well have been the most dedicated and have ac- cumulated far more tenure. Yet, they con- tinue to be the last promoted.

Only 24 hours after taking office, Jack Kemp, the new Secretary of Housing and Urban Develop- ment, pledged himself and the Bush Administra- tion to a war against ‘‘the intractable problems of the iNET guage RAS OIRSA Cities.”’ Since over Tony 50 percent Brown of the U.S. black pop- Comments ulation lives in the top 20 urban mark- ets, Kemp’s ' pledge amounts to a commitment to black America. Moreover, it is coming from the officials of a party that is largely perceived by blacks as bigoted. - President Bush understands. Jack Kemp, who identified himself and his subalterns as ‘‘the cut- ting edge” of the Republican Party’s appeal to Americanized Africans, obviously recognizes that overt demonstrations to blacks must accompany the new rhetoric. . So, true to form, as many whites do when ap- proaching the Black Unknown, the GOP leader- ship is playing it safe. In this GOP equation, being black replaces the traditional values, so often referred to by President Bush. The Republican Party chairman, guitar-playing Lee Atwater, joined the GOP chorus when he courted the memory of Martin Luther King via the already over-solicited Coretta King in a speech on King’s birthday. ’ In his campaign to get 50 percent of the black vote within the next 10 years, ‘‘The Dream’’ was hailed. ‘‘The Man’’ was adored. ‘‘The Family”’ was worshipped. No mention was made that King’s work is dead. 24 Hours: Republican Party pulls a turnaround move Most of all, there was no mention of what.io. day’s earth-bound blacks have to do to continue King’s work or to resurrect themselves. Ironically Atwater’s speech contained less self-help advicg | than Jesse Jackson’s stump speech — and Jackgon | is a Social Democrat, to the left of Hubert Hum. phrey. le Of course, I’m being unfairly critical of Ay. f water’s speech. In today’s environment no white | can tell blacks the truth. At least he made jy | through the day without being labeled a racist: | So if white Republicans are not going to (or can. | not) tell black people to help themselves, how are | they going to convert them to the party of | Fredrick Douglass and “‘opportunity’’? . The obvious strategy is to meet with the | ~ “established” black leaders and win the black | masses over with press releases and photo oppor. | | tunities showing important GOP officials with Jesse Jackson and Coretta King, among others, At best, it’s a superficial approach; at worst, it’s patronizing and racist. Racist because it assumes that all blacks want more welfare, more Dé. ocratic Party lies and are incapable of comprehen- ding and implementing their own liberation. This is what I believe Robert Woodson, a fierce. ly independent black man (not a conservative, as the white press identifies him), was trying to telj Jack Kemp when he turned down the number two job at HUD and the distinction of becoming one of the highest-ranking blacks in the administra. tion. Under Woodson’s leadership the National Cen- ter for Neighborhood Enterprise has created, funded, and supervised the only innovative self. help projects in inner cities among underclass blacks. The blacks being courted by Messrs. Bush, Atwater, and Kemp have created solicitation pro- grams only.

There seems to be a narcissistic approach among too many African Americans that makes it expedient for them to stay cozy in the carryover from their childhood days; that is: ‘‘I can make a reasonable excuse and no one will ever be the wiser. In short they remain in that childhood state that makes them vulnerable to reality. They go on and on fooling themselves. True, most of those type African Americans want recognition from their neighbors, but fooling one’s self is no way to get it. If one is hungry, simply telling his neighbor that he has just dined on a gourmet meal does not relieve his hunger pangs. So it is with life itself. So it is with the struggle of the race to overcome. What we need is for African Americans to start paying the cost. Sure it is high, the cost that is, but by the same token it is well worth it. African Americans sorely need to be honest with themselves; they need to support African American causes, patronize African American businesses, donate to worthy civic causes, look before they leap, and most of all they need to keep the faith and know for certain that the race does not always go. (0 the swift, but to those who endureth to the end. Then, of course, they should always be mindful of their great heritage, and be willing to carry the torch for those yet unborn. With that approach in mind, we feel definitely sure that African Americans will obtain recognition and future generations will be ever grateful for the man-like stand that they took in the face of adversi- ty.

And it’s a time when, despite the many problems facing African Americans, we concentrate on the positives and honor those who have given so much. mmens or exam- ple, the U.S. TO BE EQUAL Post Office is marking Black His- tory Month by issuing a 25-cent stamp bear- ing the picture of the great labor and civil rights leader, A. Philip Randolph. I suppose there are many people who do not know of Mr. Randolph, or of the extraordinary role he played in bringing blacks into the labor movement, removing barriers to black employ- ment and helping to guide the civil rights move- ment, including organizing the great March on Washington in 1963. During his long lifetime, Mr. Randolph went head-to-head with union bosses, employers, and even U.S. presidents. In 1941, he virtually forced President Roosevelt to issue an executive Order barring discrimination in defense jobs by threaten- ing a mass march on the nation’s capital. Black History Month also honors the many black scientists, legal experts, writers, statesmen and others who should be given greater recogni- tion for their accomplishments. Just to cite one contemporary example, General Colin Powell stepped in to head the National Security Council after that agency was severely damaged by the Iran-Contra scandal and the sleazy adventures of those who defied the law and their responsibilities. General Powell not only cleaned up the mess, John E. Jacob a Black History Month honors contemporary pangs err ae as well as past but presided over foreign policy initiatives that have led to a safer world and the prospects of a new, healthier relationship with the Soviets that ends the Cold War. Now he will get his fourth star and take com- mand of all U.S.-based troops, with responsibility for defense of the continental United States, And he’s been widely talked of as the next U.S. Chief of Staff. Thus, General Powell exemplifies the point that the accomplishments of African Americans are broad and widespread. Black History Month should be a time for schools and other institutions to honor those accomplishments, whether in the activism of civil rights or whether in such. mainstream institutions as. the Army or th¢ Na- tional Security Counctt: Black History Month is also a time for African Americans to renew their commitment to their community institutions, such as the church, the black colleges, and the community-based social welfare and civil rights advocacy agencies that have spearheaded our progress. That’s why one of the most important events of 1988 was the Bill Cosby family’s gift of $20 million to Spelman College. It reflected so many important things — the black commitment to philanthropy, the crucial nature of black institu- tions of higher learning to our past and our future, and the social responsibility of blacks who have made it. The panoply of black contributions to America and the extraordinary progress we have made despite tremendous odds is certainly reflected in the three men I’ve mentioned in this column — a labor leader who organized the sleeping car porters into the first effective black union and blazed a trail of leadership in labor and in civil rights for half-a-century, a military leader and presidential foreign policy advisor, and an actor, producer, and philanthropist.

Tolerance of his behavior would make it more difficult to maintain a safe cam- pus,” Eakin said. “One of the vic- tims assaulted suffered a broken ngse and another suffered serious head lacerations,” Eakin said. ==: Schatzman said White's reac- ffon can’t be condoned, he said bath sides involved in the issue should have equal penalty. ‘But . both sides should be given a fair: penalty or it should be nullified,” Schatzman said. In the Chancellor's Feb. 8 let- ter, he states “My review of the matter indicates that Mr. White was charged and disciplined in accordance with applicable uni- versity procedures. I found no material procedural irregulari- ties.” But Schatzman disagrees. Schatzman said Teddy White identified John Bateman as the instigator of the incident to Ronald Speier, assistant dean of student life, but wasn’t part of the Chancellor’s record. -_ He also said Speier insisted Home 756-0585 John Eagan, the SGA public de- fender in 1988, defend White. Speier and Eagan misled White, according to Schatzman. Schatzman said both Speier and Eagan “assured Mr. White that the situation would be taken care of and there would be no need to bring Mr. White’s wit-: nesses, who heard and saw Mr. Bateman’s and his friends’ pro- voking verbal assaults, to the 's, Honor Board hearing.”’ % White’s witness to the inci- dent, who appeared in Pitt County Court, named all but Bateman as the students making the racial slurs, according to Bateman. In Schatzman’s letter to Eakin, the NAACP director said he has asked Max Joyner, Jr., the chairman of ECU’s Board of Trus- tees, to conduct an investigation after the Chancellor closed the White case last week. “If Mr. Joyner goes no further than the “records” that your adminstration believes are com- plete, then we must go higher to seek justice,” Schatzman said.

Their agenda was a familiar one: defense cuts, increased government spending on social pro- grams for the poor, affirmative action, job training, etc. Black leaders took the same approach more than a decade ago, meeting with President Carter early in his term to discuss the concerns of black Americans. When asked by reporters what came out of the meeting, the leaders said the president had been “*responsive.”” The cycle continues — disappointment with presumed white friends, disdain for alleged white ‘whites to blacks. institutions, mply to te income from all blacks will benefit. Not so. eee: Seven of the 12 largest American cities have’ black mayors, some of whom have been in office for as long as 15 years. When these mayors boast of pro- gress made in their respective cities, they invariably point to booming downtown development. But what of the neighborhoods where the poor blacks live? Are the circumstances of their lives included in these lusty statements about “‘boomtowns?’’ Sadly, the answer is no. Poor blacks are no better off in cities controlled by blacks than in those dominated by whites. The re-circulation of income in a community is the heart of its economic life.

She adds that the program is not designed to serve people with more serious injuries such as spinal cord injuries that result in paralysis: ‘The needs of the more severe- ly injured individual are met through other programs at the center,” she explained. The team will assess each par- ticipant’s ability. to perform physical functions such as stan- ding, sitting, bending, reaching and lifting. The worker’s ability to perform and tolerate specific physical job responsibilities will also be assessed. Wickizer says this assessment is based on a job analysis performed at the worker’s actual job site. From this- information, the staff will develop.an individualized, short? eks which provides therapy closely simulating the worker’s actual job tasks. ‘The program is designed to in- crease the worker’s endurance and ability to perform the re- quired tasks over a period of time,’’ Wickizer said. e (Continued on page 9 ECU News (Continued from page 5) problems that have affected the downtown area during the past 10 years.

Not one to rest on his laurels, through his altruism and in- novative ideas, he is still working to bring about changes in this racist and unjust society. He is a firm believer in ‘If something is not worth dying for, it is not worth living for.’’ and he truly lives his life this way. Jesse L.

ANN BROWN MY MOTHER This person may not be famous but in my eyes she’s a star. She has contributed more to society than anyone I know. I’m talking about my mother, Ann Brown. She’s a beautiful, caring, emo- tional, dedicated, and overall in- telligent woman. Over seven years ago she had the incentive and wisdom to realize she wanted more out of life than what she had. So with consideration and prayer she entered a business not realizing what she would get out of it. Her life changed complete- ly after making that commit- ment. Her motto was and still is God first, Family second, and Business third. With her priorities set in this order she made it to the top in no time. She’s won four cars and numerous other prizes. She helps other people by giv- ing them a decision. The decision is if you don’t like what you’re do- ing, change. Try a business Business Notes Greenville native, James Adams came to WRAL-TV in 1983 from a similar position with Xerox. In 1988, many additional . responsibilities were directed at James. The new accounts and assignments did not slow him one it. In fact, James excelled in his individual performance. While handling one of the station’s largest account lists, he secured 110% of his individual budgeted goal. He exploded his new business quota by 80%. James’ contribution is greater than the revenue generated. His whole approach is within a team orientation. The entire system, i.e., people and process, has been improved through his participa- tion. He is a leader by example. James is a graduate of East Carolina, with a degree in Busines Administration. He is an active member of Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity and the Triangle Advertising Federation. James, his wife, Cora, and daughter, Ashley, reside in Durham, and are natives of Greenville. Adams was honored for some five million dollars plus he generated through his sales. Mr. Adams was also one of the first African-Americans to attend and graduate from ECU. 45 Battery Economy ata low price! 3 99 w/Trade THE RIGHT PARTS . . .
