Martin has announced a grant award to the City of Greenville in the amount of $600,000. This Community Development Block Grant is the first development grant received by the City since the early 1980’s. Competition for the N.C. De- partment of Economic and Com- munity Development awards is stiff, and Greenville was selected out of 108 applicants this year. Of the $600,000 which the City will receive, approximately $577,000 will be used to reha- bilitate 31 substandard housing units in the East Meadowbrook and West Greenville communi- ties. The remaining $23,000 is considered “local option funds” and will be used for street pav- ing. In addition to the grant, Greenville will contribute ap- proximately $100,000 toward housing activities. Of the home scheduled for re- habilitation, approximately Headlines Beauty Salon winner at hair show held in Atlanta Evon Morrison, a senior part- ner with Ridoc Products was on hand to personally congratulate Ms. Jewel Keyes of Headlines Beauty Salon for winning an as- sortment of products displayed August 17-20 at the Annual In: ternational Bronner Brothers Hair Show held in Atlanta, Ga. Ms. Keyes entered her name and Headlines Beauty Salon located at 3101 10th Street, Greenville, in a drawing while attending the show.

Ridoc manufactures its satin products from 100% nylon and states it’s the best on the market today. “Our products do not re- quire dry cleaning” states Mrs. Morrison who is quick to point out the washer and dryer in- structions listed on each package. In addition, she readily states, “Our products are guaranteed to sustain home cleaning without picking or losing its luster”. The rapidly growing company is fi- nally owned and supply custom- ers in 26 of the United States, Nigeria, Virgin Islands and Canada. Ms. Keyes is excited about her new product line and boastfully uses them herself. On hand to share in her excitement were he parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Hardy who are local business owners, and Victoria Ingram isa students at East Carolina University and a loyal customer. ah WINNER...

Boys and Girls Club receives Wal-Mart donation A joint-fundraising project with Wal-Mart of Washington was re- cently completed by the Beaufort County Boys and Girls Club. Approximately $4,000 was raised through a matching grant \ in which the club raised half of it during the Washington Summer Festival in July. Club board members as well as Wal-mart volunteers manned a food concession stand at the festi- val. The money will be used to help set up a local club with operations starting next year. The club is also raising money through a Founders Club, On the first day of theclub’s opening there will be a large founders club plaque placed on the entrance wall of the club recognizing them for their service. To qualify for the club, donations of $50 or more are required. There are five categories: patron, $50; bronze, $100; silver, $250; golden, $500 and platinum, $1,000. A plaque will be presented to golden and platinum contributors. “a a AE LORD EVERYBODY. ...

Selection was based on the severity ofneed for renovation in order to bring the homes up to standard living requirements. According to Andy Harris, Di- rector of the Planning and Com- munity Development Depart- ment, nogrant funds can be spent until a formal agreement has been signed by the City and the Department of Economic and Community Development. Har- ris anticipates this will be ac- complished in the next 45 days, which will allow the project to begin around November 1. Tyson’s indictment adds to a growing list of sex offenses The four-count indictment ‘handed down Monday by an grand jury, that heavyweight champion Mike Tyson raped an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant underscores the actions of today’s alleged female victims of sexual abuse who vow: “I’m all fed up and not going to take it anymore.” Tyson also faces several suits involving other women whom he allegedly assaulted. In the old days, athletes were not accused so as often as they are today. An Associated Press survey, released this week, shows the predominance today of athletes charge with sex offenses in recent years. “That’s because a woman or girl today who feels she’s been assaulted is more apt to go to the authorities,” said a veteran observer of the sports scene. “In the old days, a gal was more apt to brag that she’d been with an athlete,or if she felt she’d been taken advantage of, would accept a payoff and keep quiet.” Veteran observers recall that Joe Louis, still thought by many as the greatest of heavyweight champions, often had many “conquests” in his rooms at the famed Hotel Theresa in Harlem. None led to any criminal charges. Habitues of the Theresa Bar used to make varied comments on observing the many women walk out of the hotel elevators and onto the Seventh Avenue (Continued on Page Two) Church, Rev.

What matters is not how much you gave, but your sincere support, and the citizens of Pitt County and the surrounding areas responded graciously. Enjoyed very much, the con- vention proved to be an educational experience for our youth. Our children had the opportunity to + orvition ie meet Mrs. Corretta Scott King, Rosa Parks, and a host of con- gressman, senators, and other representatives across the country. Joseph Lowery, the SCLC National President, was impressed with the number of youth, from Pitt County and other cities throughout the nation, who attended. Through participation in various programs and activities, our children played a major part in the annual con- vention. SCLC urges you to continue supporting our youth. With your continued assistance, we can commit ourselves to helping our children build and maintain self esteem, develop communication skills and positive attitudes. By accomplishing these goals, we can save our children from drugs early pregnancy, and encourage them to set higher goals for themselves. - Greenville at the Ramada Inn.

East Carolina Auto & Truck Center Lincoln Mescury Chrysler Plymouth Dodge GMC HWY 11 & 264 BYPASS « 355-3333 # ’ eralsin the media are allied with, f Media and Public Affairs found that in the six weeks following the Thomas nomination, the comments aired by the three broadcast networks were over- whelmingly negative. The per- centage of negative soundbites ranged from 67 percent on NBC to 64 percent on CBS news pro- grams. Accuracy in media’s research shows that the onslaught against Judge Thomas began only hours after his nomination on July 1. That evening, the “NBC Nightly News’ featured President Bush’s announcement followed by four people who opposed Thomas: Eleanor Holmes Norton, a civil rights activist, now the non- voting representative in Con- gress from the District of Co- lumbia; Judith Lichtman, a pro- abortion lawyer; Rep. John Lewis, a black Congressman from Atlanta; and Sen. Howard Metzenbaum, one of two senators who voted against Thomas when he was named tothe D.D. Federal Court of Appeals. Oddly enough, NBC chose not to balance its report by airing footage from Thomas’ emotional tribute to his grandparents for insisting that he get an education. “The CBS Evening News” did show that scene after which cor- respondent Rita Braver produced “talking head” comments from four who opposed Thomas, one who supported him and one who was neutral. Braver indicated that she felt the chief issue up for debate was abortion, saying that what worried most people was a statement Thomas once made on “unenumerated rights—the things like abortion that are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.” Clarence Thomas has an ex- cellent record as a lawyer and jurist. He hasrisen to eminencies from humble beginnings, serving as an ideal role model for all disadvantaged young people. The only reason the media’s response to the nomination has not been overwhelmingly positive rather than negative is because Judge Thomas is not:a-liberal: The lib- the liberal special interest groups in drumming up opposition to ' the nomination. ai. PRINCEVILLE WAS FREE the back ground. God bless our One network executive, George Watson of ABC, in effect confirmed this when he said: “The story is not support for Bush’s nominee but the opposi- tion to it.” Watson suggested that this is simply a normal media reaction, saying: “Journalisti- cally, it seems evident that the opponents are going to get more coverage. It is the irregular, the disruptive, that often makes the news.” We invite Mr. Watson to tell that to the anti-abortion activists whose fervent opposition to Roe vs. Wade was given the cold shoulder by liberal journalists for years. He might also tell us why his network has said noth- ing about the irregular and dis- ruptive demands made on Judge Thomas by the Senate Judiciary Committee for documents and correspondence, as disclosed by the Wall Street Journal. . \ ‘Tella friend | la ‘A&A . fy -about the \ __ M-Voice y RU La i hie/, \ WA The Shoe Outlet Men's Dress, Casual and Work Shoes ¢ Timberland « Bass ¢ Allen Edmonds * Stacey Adams ¢ French Shriner Large Selection vailable "Shoes For The Entire Family" 7 “i DOM HILL...

Annual Black College Day activities held in Jackson, Mississippi On Monday, September 30, we will hold our annual Black College Day avitivities in Jackson, Mississippi. This event started in 1980. Alvin Chambliss, Jr. is the Jackson organizer and the lawyer on whose shoulders rests the future of Black colleges in America. No, I’m not being dramatic. If he does not win his case before the U.S. Supreme Court in November, Black colleges and universities will be illegal and unconstitutional. You may remember that a few weeks ago in this space, I described him as “one frustrated Black man” — because he can’t .get.the attention of the Black community. As a result, we are moving this years Black College Day activities to Jackson. Another event willtake placein Nashville, the home of Tennessee State University, in mid-October. Tennessee State University is Mississippi's double in trouble. Black colleges in Mississippi will be forced to adopt a White quota like the 50% one that Tennessee State already has, if the case is lost. The Bush administration’s Justice Department is busy in court, making the case that Black students should not have the option of going to a Black college. And the government has no obligation to financially support them. Justice argues in its brief. Here’s President George Bush whose number one charity is the United Negro College Fund with adustice Department that makes the case that Black colleges should be financially starved to death. But this contradiction has not been exploited because many Black organizations are using all of their time and money on the | % | SUT, PRicee Prices Good As Long As Supplies Last ——— | ve wi fradin ara GING ally’ | {| \ - — ALL MEATS PREPARED UNDER N.C.D.A.

As a result, we are moving this year’s Black College Day activities to Jackson. Another event will take place in Nashville, the home of Tennessee State University, in mid-October. Tennessee State University is Mississippi’s double in trouble. Black colleges in Mississippi will be forced to adopt a White quota like the 50% one that Tennessee State already has, if the case is lost. The Bush administration’s Jus- tice Department is busy in court, making the case that Black stu- dents should not have the option of going to a Black college. And the government has no obligation to financially support them. Justice argues in its brief. Here’s President George Bush whose number one charity is the United Negro College Fund with a Justice Department that makes the case that Black colleges should be financially starved to death. But this contradiction has not been exploited because many Black organizations are using all of their time and money on the civil rights bill and Clarence Thomas’ nomi- nation or a $10.000 table at the Congressional Black Caucus din- ner weekend party. Chambliss and the students at Tennessee State want some of those resources aimed at the only situation that can preserve the possibility of young Blacks. graduating from college. There’s got to be enough People in the Black community to stop this intellectual genocide in the name of integration. Granted, there are Blacks who call self-help a “myth.” There are Blacks who believe Blacks are too inferior to compete with Whites, therefore, our only choice is to beg them for more rights and a few privileges for being their victim. But there is a hard core among us that will never succumb to this tyranny, who will sacrifice, if necessary, to save Black colleges for the present and future gen- erations. and Manager Assistant Manager TELEPHONE BUS.

BRIGHT IDEAS Storing Your Air Conditioner: If you leave your unit in the window, here’s an easy way to prevent drafts: Remove the front panel. Take a plastic bag from your dry cleaning and drape it over the air conditioner. Replace the front panel andtrim off excess plastic with a knife or scissors. This seals the inside of the air conditioner, so air can’t blow through. For a final seal, buy a role of weather stripping at the hardware store and peel off a long strip. Smooth it with your finger along cracks where air could come through. When it’s time to use the unit in the sum- mer, remove the plastic. LEMONY TOILET CLEANER To clean stubborn stains from the toilet, pour 1/4 cup of bottled juice into the bowl and leave overnight. The acid in the juice will eliminate the minerals that cause discoloration. EASY SOLUTIONS TO OIL STAINS Clean oil and grease stains in your garage or on the driveway with baking soda. Sprinkle it di- rectly on the oil or grease, then brush and mop up with water. GEM OF THE DAY: Hate is like acid.

Before listening to Mr. Johnson’s Inner City Voices, I was unaware that we had a Methadone program right here in our own neighborhood. I also liked the show that Mr. Johnson did when he had a drug addict tell what it was like to be hooked on drugs. These are just some of the things that I have learned about from listening to “Inner City Voices”. Mr. Johnson appears tobe very in-tune with what is going on in the Greenville area and finds professionals and experts in the fields that he is discussing. “Inner City Voices” also gives us the citizens of Greenville a chance to ask guests questions or express views. Thisis of special interest because if not for “Inner City Voice” we would often not get a chance to speak to these: quests or ask questions. Most recently Mr. Johnson had Mayor Nancy Jenkins and Rufus ‘ Huggins on his: program, I thought this was terrificto have city officials on the show. Sooften city officials are to busy and wrapped up in themselves and : politics to appear on a talk show such as “Inner City Voices” and — expose themselves to questions from citizens. I thank you Mr. Johnson for providing us with this opportunity.

Our contingent, which included 25 family members and friends of young Black men who have died as a result of racial violence, marched under a banner that said “Stop the Killing of Our Black men.” Marching at my side were Bridgette Amos and Aubrey a police officer the week before, and Diane Hawkins, the mother of Yusuf Hawkins, the 16-year-old boy who was murdered two years ago by a mob of young white hooli- gans in Bensonhurst. Mayor Davis Dinkins and every other political bigwig marched at the front of the parade, which was to be expected — holidays are for show. Now that it’s over, the rest ee eee a making the city run. I had spent the two weeks prior to the parade working the streets of the Black community, where young Black men were out in force to protest the death of a seven- teen-year-old Black child who had been hit by a carin Crown Heights, andthe police murderof tony Amos a few days later in Flatbush. For three days Mayor Dinkins was OO EEE ES SSS eT Heights. I was there not to cool out the anger, but to channel it in a positive direction. it was only after the people’s chosen — not elected — Black leaders had paved the way for him that New York’s first African American mayor could go in. There is more than enough evi- dence to suggest that the cops’ version of how this latest act of * 4 -” & % i : : % % + 5 e : a racial murder took place is a pack of lies. Among other things, the police had reported — up through the day after Tony was killed — that he had been hit by four bul- lets, two in the face and two in the chest. But according to hospital reports obtained the night of the murder and confirmed the follow- ing day by the Medical Examiner's office, Bridgette Amos’ son was not shot in the face but at least twice in the back and several times through the arm and chest. é “Tony put his hands in their and says, ‘O.K. you got it. You got it’ and runs from the police,” one eye- witness — Guillermo Simmons, * 26, a former Panamanian police- man — said at a press conference which Tony’s parents and I held three days after the killing. “I see the white cop come from behind Tudor, whose 19-year-oldson Tony of us can go back to our work of unable even to enter Crown had been shot twice in the back by | _ OUR PRICES AND yf on Blin a - Bali Mini-Blinds - Bali Micro Blinds * Bali Mid-Size Blinds + Pleated Shades ng Black men” the van with his gun drawn. I saw | the white cop empty his gun, shooting towards Tony's back. Tony’s hands were in the air as he fell to the ground.” Mr. Simmons and several other witnesses have said that while the saw Tony fire a gun in the air before the police arrived, the young man never aimed the gun at the officer’s head as the police are claiming he did. The point is not that this young brother was a saint. the point is that he had the right to due pro- cess. which every citizen does. And that the cop who killed him didn’t have the right to shoot him in the back, in cold blood. On Labor Day, just before Mayor Dinkins took his place at the head of the parade, Tony’s parents, Diane Hawkins and I had a brief meeting with him. There is a perception in the Black community that the reason our mayor walked the streets of Crown Heights after a young Jewish stu- dents was killed there was because Hasidic Jews were involved but when Tony Amos gets shot in the back by the police he is not there. We told the mayor that we have eyewitnesses who are saying that , * Verticals + Duette (JoAnna, LouverDrape, Montage, Bali, Duette) ¢ Draperies ¢ Pouff Valances ¢ Balloon Shades ¢ Festoons * Scarves ¢ Jabot & Cascades ¢ Full Line of Rods & Hardware 756-8483 - 3110-A Evans Street Ci (Next To Bowen Cleaners) Open Mon. - Sat. 10:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. _ Lifetime Warranty on Bali Blinds! $40.00.

As we draw closing toward election for Congressional Districts, Pitt County and Greenville were blessed with a courthouse visit by Senator Frank Balance. Mr. Balance was traveling throughout the first congressional district talking to the many people concerning the new proposed redistricting that will enable us to elect our first black congressman based on new census report and Justice Department information. Photo by Jim Rouse Tony’s hands were in the air when he was shot; that Black youth in that community organized marches of 300 to 600 people on the days following the murder and notone bottle was thrown. We told him that he needed to walk the streets of East Flatbush with Bridgette Amos and Aubrey Tu- dor the way that he walked the streets of Crown Heights — that he needs to demonstrate the same compassion and outrage when a Black child dies as he does when a Hasidic child dies. It’s very im- portant that he does this. There are many people who wand to speak out, but they are frightened to do so because cops really do kill kids, they really do kill Black folks. Davis Dinkins needs to be in the Black community marching up and down and saying to witnesses: “If you come forward we will guar- antee your safety.” On Friday afternoon Aubrey Tudor and Diane Hawkins joined me at the Yusuf Hawkins memo- rial wall in Brooklyn’s Bedford- Stuyvesant, which had been painted by young graffiti and tag artists. Painted on the wall was the slogan “Yusuf Still Lives in Us!” which members of the All Starts Talent Show Network had created for a button that they are now selling all over New York City in order to raise money for the Yusuf Hawkins Memorial Fund, which is dedicated to the fight against racism. ~< Pama ge me Bus: (919)752-4041 Res: (919)355-7042 AMUSEMENT CO.
