Photo by Jim Rouse ! ) TAee age +e See eae db My fellow Citizens of Greenville & Pitt County I stand before you today because for several years I’ve seen the un- fortunate deterioration in the qual- ity of life of our youth, senior citi- zens, and other individuals trapped in the moderate and low income low income areas of our city and county. While I, for years, was only able to speculate that crime was getting worse based on my daily observations, as I trav- eled through these neighborhoods, and heard the accounts of mur- ders, rapes, drug arrests, burglar- ies, etc. in the local medial; I was deeply shaken as to the extent of these problems facing Greenville & Pitt County when I was pro- vided a copy of May 9, 1994 edition of USA Today newspaper. Mrs. Beatrice Maye, a local leader and educator, provided me an article from this publication entitled, “The Deadliest Counties in the USA for Children.” My fellow citizens, I’m here to tell you that I was acutely aware of our long-standing plight toimprove the test scores of our youth in local school; I am equally aware of the serious infant mortality problems we have in this county and the outstanding effort of the tremen- dously effect local effort being waged by the Daily Reflector and local leaders and volunteers to address this problem. But not in my lifetime would I ever expect to see Pitt County listed as the 10th deadliest county in the USA for children. This article reflects that, based on 1991 crime statistics, Pitt County was one of the deadliest counties in the USA for children killed by guns during an assault or police shooting, based on the rate of murders per 100,000 people. (I offer you a copy of this article as Handout #1.) Careful analysis of local crime statistics reflect that a significant part of Pitt County’s crime problems can be attributed to the statistics reflect that a sig- nificant part of Pitt County’s crime problems can be attributed to the statistics generated within the City of Greenville (approximately 83% of the crime). Reviewing Handout #2, we can see that, except for the year 1992, Ms. Johnson accepted as finalist for Miss NC Ms. Ronda N. Johnson, of Wash- ington, NC has been accepted as a state finalist for the 1995 Miss North Carolina USA Pageant. Ronda is the daughter of Reatha Johnson and Ronald Johnson, both of Washington. Ronda, a graduate of Washing- ton High School, is currently at- tending East Carolina University, majoring in Pre-law. She works at the Alpha Beta Nu building on Hackney Ave. Ronda will be competing in Char- lotte, NC on November 11 and 12 for the Miss North Carolina USA title. If she wins, she will be flown to the national pageant for two weeks to complete for the Miss USA title. Please keep Ronda in your prayers and wish her the best of luck throughout the pageant. If you would like to sponsor Ronda, please contact her at Alpha Beta Nu, 946-4808, between 2:30 and 5:00 p.m. there has been a gradual increase in murders, with the year 1994 showing a drasticincrease (10 thus far, as opposed to an average of 5.6 murders per year during the pre- vious 5 years). Other crime statis- tics presented to local citizens dur- ing a recent meeting at the Greenville City Hall reflect a simi- lar or greater increase in other violent crimes within the City of Greenville. In view of the afore- mentioned, it can be logically de- duced that, based soley on Greenville’s Crime Statistics, Pitt County will likely be considered even more deadly for children in 1994. It is because of the severity of this problem and the firm convic- tions that the Greenville Police and the Pitt County Sheriff's De- partment cannot solve these prob- lems alone, that we come forward to volunteer our services in an attempt to mobalize the citizens of this city and this county in the implementation and/or modifica- tion of a plan involving civic, reli- gious, social, educational, profes- sional, and political leaders within the county. This plan addresses a multi-faceted approach to dealing with those factors which contrib- ute to the proliferation of crime and adversely affects quality of life of all the citizens of our county. There is nothing magical or sa- cred about these proposals, they can be modified, eliminated or changed, for no one possesses sole domination of brains, thoughts, or ideas. I do, however ask thatif you are to be instantly critical or pessi- mistic about any of these ideas, that you substitute a better idea before recommending the elimi- nation of any proposal. I sincerely expect a few indi- viduals who seek personal recog- nition as a leader, individuals who are well respected criminals, indi- —S ee ee ee a ee viduals who are self-serving and inconsiderate of the needs of oth- ers, not to be supportive of this effort. However, I sincerely be- lieve that the preponderance o the citizens and leaders of community will see this as an opportunity to unite to address and rectify two serious problems facing the citi- zens of our community. In-conclusion, I immediately so- licit the support of all ministerial alliances, educational, civic, social, service, fraternal, masonic, and other organizations within this county to volunteer their services in various capacities within our newly created organization (C.0.N.T.A.C.T.) CITIZENS OR- GANIZED TO ATTACK CRIME I especially solicit the involve- ment of financial experts, crimi- nologists, religious, social and psy- chology professionals as well as grass roots individuals, to lead individuals, to lead individual task forces charged to address those critical factors contributing to the problems at hand. While crime has to be our first priority, increased taxes are also of concern. I have taken the liberty to solicit the help of local people in reviewing the budget of the City of Greenville for Fiscal Year 1994- 95, in an attempt to validate the need for the tax increase recently voted on and conditionally ap- proved by the Mayor and the Greenville City Council. There are known and suspected areas of abuse in spending in the City of Greenville andI sincerely feel that during these times of austerity, we must find ways of eliminating waste and ensuring the effective use of tax payers dollars. In closing, individuals desiring to get involved in our effort may a Continued on Page 8 A eae ree te ge ae Se ee Net 2-THE “M’-VOICE - WEEK OF JUNE 8 - JUNE 16, 1994 ales Of The Old South Part II Summer Feeding Progran ee eae es a ee a. i ce cn cate ae Waites Pitt County Schools Child N utrit 0 n Last week we dealt with the General Accounting Office’s report on the personnel practices of the -Architect of the Capitol.

Joe Smith said (not real name) said “I did not hear anything from Mr. White that convinces me that he will do what is right. I have heard him promise to improve before.” Another worker says “I am in my early twenties but I can say that I ~ have never seen anything like this in my life.” ] am not an employee of Mr. White, and I am a little older than the mid-twenties but I con- cur that some images on Capitol Hill are nauseating. During her opening statement, Senator Mikulski cited the fact that she had been hearing horror stories about life under the Archi- tect for a prolonged period of time. She, of course noted that a number of the workers are her constitu- ents. But she also noted that she was speaking for persons who are afraid to speak because of fear of retaliation to speak for themselves. Such is life, in a place where the PON _ © 1994 McDonald's Enjoy the taste of McRib -a hearty quarter pound’ of boneless pork simmered in our own hickory-style BBQ) sauce and served on a home- style roll.

' rule-makers don’t have to follow their own directives. The contin- ued bad treatment of workers in the Architect's office and in other venues on the Hill raises a funda- mental question. Where are most of the Member of the Congres- sional Black Caucus and why aren’t they leading the fight for equal rightsin the buildings where their offices are located? One worker offered her opinion stating “Most of them barely speak to us and their staffs operate the same way.” This aloofness certainly isn’t true of all CBC Members but many certainly fall in that category. When asked what was in the works to improve the situation, Mr. White quickly noted that he had hired some new persons to handle the problems that were in the GAO report. All four persons introduced to the Senate panel were White. To use the old collo- quialism the Architect “Just doesn’t get it.” Or he sees very little wrong with the current sys- tem.

Some scholars believe the Board deci- sion was the nation’s most impor- tant Supreme Court case in the last century, if not our entire his- tory. Among the many laudable val- ues articulated in the Brown deci- sion, two of the most enduring are Quality Education and the Impor- tance of Equality. Although these values have not been fully real- ized, they remain as important today as they were 40 years ago. Quality Education For All The Brown v. Board of Educa- tion decision said, “education is perhaps the most important func- tion of state and local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our democratic soci- ety...itis the very foundation of citizenship. It is a principal in- strument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional train- ing, and in helping him adjust nor- mally to his environment.” Today, as America moves into the 21st century, education re- mains the key to opening doors of opportunity for all people in our society. This Administration has already made education a corner- stone o fits plans to rejuvenate the country. The Brown decision also considered education vital to de- mocracy. The Court called educa- tion, “the foundation of good citi- zenship” and the preparation for “later professional training.” Simi- larly, our own policies have em- phasized these important goals. The foundation of good citizen- ship education is also vital to de- mocracy. Our National Service Program recognizes the link be- tween democratic citizenship and education as it enables young people to devote a few years of their time serving the community in return for financial assistance for college. Preparation For Professional Training: Two weeks ago, I signed the School-to-Work Opportunities Act, which creates a national sys- tem to develop and strengthen programs that help move young people from school to work by con- necting school-based earning with work-based learning. This week, we kick off the implementation of Goals 2000 law, which will increase adult literacy and reduces school dropout rates rates by the year $5.00 Haircuts to benefit the American Cancer Society Raffles Hair Salon will be hold- _ ingacut-a-thon on June 26, 1994, to benefit the American Cancer Society.

These measures recognize that the aver- age Americans will change jobs several times in his or her lifetime, resulting in a greater need for life- long learning. The Importance Of Equality Forty years after Brown, we af- firm the belief that our nation’s diversity strengthens rather than divides, us. Then the struggle was to integrate African Americans into a society that, by law, segre- gated them,. Today, the struggle is to provide equal opportunity to citizens while recognizing that in- tegration is still a valuable goal. We are one people, we have much to learn from one another.

Look for what’s to be learned from a conflict. Every conflict pro- vides potentially useful informa- tion. Don’t Mope—Cope!!! Avoiding conflicts won't make them go away. Remember, yelling and scream- ing may feel good, but it rarely gets you anywhere. Being ornery and disagreeable may be fun to some, but frustrat- ing to others. Dissent when neces- sary, but not just for amusement. Don’t allow conflicts to become personal and out of control. Dis- agree with issues, not with people.

Special Envoy It didn’t leak,” said a White House official, not for attribution. “It” was President Clinton’s selec- tion of former Pennsylvania Rep- resentative William H. Gray III as his special enjoy to Haiti. Accord- ing to the official, Gray met with National Security Advisor Tony Lake and then President Clinton on Saturday, May 7th. Clinton made the announcement, which surprised many observers, the fol- lowing day. The President also disclosed new procedures, allowing Haitians flee- ing their country to make claims for political asylum aboard U.S. owned or leased ships, or in third- country processing centers. De- spite the new procedures, Clinton and his officials have stressed that the U.S. is not changing its policy of returning Haitian refugees to their country. Nevertheless, these changes were sufficient for Randall Robinson, TransAfrica’s Executive Director, to end his 27 day fast in protest of Clinton’s Haiti policy. Wade Henderson, director of the NAACP"s Washington office called Clinton’s selection of Gray as spe- cial envoy “a brilliant political master-stroke. He’s taken a bold step toward a committment to re- storing democracy to Haiti.” Henderson adds that the NAACP is encouraging the administra- tion to move expeditiously in pur- suit of a third-country placement option. He says that it is impor- tant to establish for Haitians, a safe-haven from the general vio- lence in Haiti. Gray replaces Lawrence Pezzulo, who was forced to resign last month. Pezzulo departed with criticism of Clinton and his policy, and Pezzulo was in turn criticized by Eleanor Holmes Norton, Wash- ington, D.C.’s non-voting Congres- sional Representative. She said thatthe Congressional Black Cau- cus, which had been exceptionally critical of Clinton’s Hairi policy, was “profoundly dissatisfied with Mr. Pezzulo. He was essentially getting in bad with the military in Haiti.” Norton indicated that Greenville resident excels Tanya'L. Tucker (Streeter), the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James R. Streeter and sister of Staci Streeter, received her Master of Science degree in Student Person- nel/Agency Counseling on May 8, 1994 from North Carolina Agri- cultural and Technical State Uni- versity. Mus. Tucker is a 1984 graduate of D.H. Conley High School anda 1989 graduate of Saint Augustine’s College in Raleigh. Ms. Tucker continues to live and work in Greensboro. Ms. Tucker belongs to the family and members of Holy Trinity United Holy Church in 7 Why Is It?... watch.

Pezzulo’s efforts to reach an ac- cord with Haiti’s military emboldened it to engage in a reign of intimidation and terror. Gray, who heads the United Negro College Fund, takes on the Haiti assignment as a private citi- zen, without pay, and will serve 130 days or less. Henderson says that Gray’s position as special en- voy to Haiti represents a “last clear chance” to negotiate an effective settlement, and puts positive pres- sure on everyone to restore Presi- dent Aristede to office and democ- racy to Haiti. However, Henderson adds that while Aristede was demo- cratically elected, it may be still necessary for the exiled President to broaden considerably his politi- cal base in Haiti. Henderson views Gray’s special relationship with the Congres- sional Black Caucus - a group he once chaired - as a plus. He says that Gray has a way of cutting to the quick on important policy ques- tions, and maintains that because of his political acumen, Gray will be unlikely to tolerate the recalci- trance of Haiti’s military rulers to step aside and, at least in the case of Lieutenant General Raoul Codras, leave Haiti.

While I sat there a mother with two small children came in seeking medical care. Her children’seyes were red and swollen; clearly they were suf- fering from what is commonly ‘ galled pink eye, a highly conta- gious condition which children of- ten get. What was just as clear was that ‘We Need A Health Care Re while this condition must be treated, it was not really an emer- gency room case. Yet for many poor mothers, the emergency room is the only medical treatment fa- cility which they know. For some, itis the only treatment center any- where near where they live. There’s something wrong with the health care system in America. Stories like the one above prove that. Statistics also prove that. as White babies to die before they celebrate their first birthday-The rate of AIDS among African Ameri- cans is more than triple that of Whites.
