I looked over the questionaire they sent me and I was alarmed at some of the ques- tions.” There were 36 questions on the survey and Woodhouse was asked if she agreed ot disagreed with, for example, “I believe that some people know how to use voodoo,” “I eat chit’lings once in awhile,” I know how to play bid whist.” “I wondered what these ques- tions had to do with breast cancer. Furthermore, they wanted me to come to the hospital where they would draw some blood, give me 20 dollars and a token. It sounded like the old Tuskegee experiment all over again,” Woodhouse said. Alarmed by the questionaire, she called Brenda Blackmon at UPN- 9. Last Monday evening a show was produced on UPN-9 News called “The Survey,” which exam- ined the ramifications of the con- troversy. “The survey,” said Barbara Nevins Taylor, the show’s pro- ducer, along with Emily Backus of the I-Team, “was not created by Sloan-Kettering. It first appeared in The Journal of Black Psycholo- gists.” Taylor spoke with at least one author of the survey, which is offi- cially entitled “The African Ameri- can Acculturation Beliefs and At- titudes Survey,” who declined to appear on the show, but did offer these remarks. “We are thinking about revising (the survey),” said Dr. Hope Landrine of the Public Health Foundation in Los Angeles, “be- cause some find it upsetting.” Appartently Sloan-Kettering received permission to use the sur- vey from the authors as a way of charting the incidence of breast cancer through certain cultural practices and behavior. Landrine blamed _ Sloan- Kettering for failing to be more sensitive in administering the questionaire. “I think that Memo- rial Sloan-Kettering could have doneit more sensitively. We go out of our way to avoid negative...responses.” One outraged response came from Hazel Duke of the NAACP: “If stress would give me cancer,” Local Baseball Stars Moving Up Fast Melvin 'Tutu' Moye Melvin ‘Tutu’ Moye ur. joins Roundtree heading for the pros, Kidah Sneed will play for ECU Three Greenville baseball stars have catch the eyes of enough baseball professional to be offered chaces to play beyond high school. Melvin ‘Tutu’ Moye, Monte Roundtree and Kidah Sneed will be going to their own field of dreams soon. Since he was 3 years old, Ann Roundtree knew what her son wanted to do. Monte’ Roundtree realized a kid’s lifetime dream and made his mother and father, Marvin, very proud when he signed a contract with the Cin- cinnati Reds Baseball Club, end- ing speculation on a decision be- tween the professional life or more preparation for it in the form of a Roundtree (center) with parents, Ann and Marvin 'S.T.' Roundtree. scholarship offer from East Caro- lina University. Roundtree left recently for Billings, Montana, where he will spend the summer pitching in the Pioneer League. “This is something he’s wanted to do since he was 3", Ann Roundtree said through a glow- ing smile. “His father and I are very happy.” “He was outdoors all day (as a youngster), summer or winter, with or without an- other person with him. He was playing all day. I felt like he was born for it.” “Ever since Little League,” Marvin Roundtree added, “I knew he’d make it.” The 19-year old left-hander was a fourth-round selection by the Reds, the 128th player taken overall. He was the ]4th Rose High School player coached by Ronald Vincent to be drafted fol- lowing high school orcollege, and teammate Tutu Moye later be- came the 15th. Terms of his seven-year contract were not dis- closed. Roundtree and his agent, Ivan Schwartz, are still finaliz- ing deals for equipment (shoes, gloves, etc.) “I’m still sucking it all in’, said the ace of the state champi- ons Rampants’ staff. “I can’t believe it would all happen.” But it is happening and happening fast. He’s never been to the land of the Big Sky. “The only thing I knowit’s along way from home”... but he hardly seemed over- whelmed as he prepared for the first step in his adult life. “It’s time for me to step up and ma- ture some”, Roundtree said, “take responsibility”. His parents have confidence he will. They won’t be making their way to Billings until Monte’ has had time to settle in. Rest as- sured, they'll be anxious to see him pitch professionally. “I’m going to goin and take it one day at a time,” Roundtree said. “Day by day. I’m not looking at it a week at a time, just each day as it comes.” Roundtree said the decision between the Reds or ECU was basically made for him. “It wasn’t that hard,” Roundtree said. “What really made me decide was when Coach (Gary) Overton left. He was the one who recruited me and thought highly of me.” Overton, more than once, follow- See STARS On Page 12 Sneed (center) with parents, Curtis and Judy Sneed. Tiger battles on and off the course By Howie Evans AmNews Sports Editor Somewhere out there among all those young people saying “I’m Tiger Woods,” the real Tiger Woods is coolly trying to “just win.” He wants to win every tournament he plays in. And that seems to irk an awful lot of his golfing peers. This week, Tiger is playing in the U.S. Open at Bethesda, Md., the second stop of the four major golfing cham- pionships. Tiger is one up after his record shattering victory in the Masters at Augusta this past April. Almost immediately, an army of fools around the nation began compar- ing him to Jackie Robinson and Arthur Ashe. How ridiculous! Woods attempted to become he first golfer in history to win he Masters and U.S. Openin vhe same year. Not Nicklaus, Arnie or the legendary Ben Hogan were able to accomplish that feat, But no one is betting against Tiger becoming the first. He rolled into Bethesda on Mon- day of this week for a practice round at the Congressional Coun- try Club, site of this 1997 tourna- ment that began back in 1895 when Horace Rawlins, shooting a 178, was the first winner at the New- port Golf Club in Rhode Island. Last year’s winner, Steve Jones, returns to defend his champion- ship, barely noticeable as “Tiger mania” continues to stalk every tournament the 21 year-old Woods plays in. In this 97th U.S. Open, Woods will chase thelegends ofhis sport, as he will in the British Open andthe PGA Championship. Nicklaus won the Open twice during the ’60s, again in the '70s and for a fourth time in 1980, Ben Hogan was also a four-time win- ner, as was Bobby Jones. Willie Anderson is the onlygolfer in his- tory to win three consecu tive Opens joiningNicklaus and Hogan as four-time winners. Anderson won his first in 1901, then won in 1904,1905 and 1906. So before we begin putting Tiger with the golfing greats in history, let’s give him some time on the tour. Longevity and success will determine his eventual place in history, though he’s already made history as a collegian and as a pro, Things are not all good on the social front for Woods. ‘He can’t help but have this on his mind. A strong young mind. With all the pressure he’s facing from all sides, Tiger has to be strong. It seems as he churns along, everyone has a beef with him. Blacks, whites and Asians, not to mention some American Indians, all of whom have claimed a piece of Woods. Blacks flat-out want him to declare himself African-Ameri- can. His mother is from Thailand, so they want Tiger to be one of them. : See TIGER On Page 12 she asserted on the TV program, “reading this, I would be stressed- out and I would be diagnosed with cancer tomorrow.” Some of the questions resembled those admistered two decades ago by Adrian Dove who formulated the Dove Counter-balance Intelli- gence Exam or Dr. Robert Will- iams’ “Bitch Test,” both of which poked fun at IQ tests and their relativity. “How long does it take 10 ponds of chit’lings to cook on a low simmer?” Given the gravity of the situa- tion, one wonders why Sloan- Kettering did not consult any of the local or regional psychologist and psychiatrists such as Phyllis Rose Harrison, Hugh Butts or James Jones. Dr. A.J. Franklin, a noted psy- chologist who teaches at CCNY, was concerned if there were an understanding between the jour- nal that originally published the survey and Sloan-Kettering. “If this wasn’t worked out, therecould be a copyright infringment,” he said. “Beyond that, there is the issue of the survey, which may be partof Dr. Landrine’s accultuation scale that is a series of questions attempting to assess the extent to which African-Americans are ac- culturated or not. At issue here is whether she has identified the fun- damental items.” Attempts to reach a spokeperson at Sloan-Kettering were unsuc- See SURVEY On Page 12 Julius Chambers to deliver keynote speech at annual NAACP dinner Civii Rights Attorney and North Carolina Central University Chan- cellor Julius Chamber will be the guest speaker at the annual NAACP banauet that will be held Friday, June 20 at 7 p.m. in the Rose High School cafeteria. Born in 1936 and reared in a small, rural community east of Charlotte, JULIUS L. CHAM- BERS learned about racial dis- crimination growing up in North Carolina. He graduated from high school in May 1954, the very month of the United States Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education and entered North Carolina Central Univer- sity (then North Carolina College) in the fall of that year. In his senior year, Mr. Cham- bers served as president of the student body, graduating summa cum laude with a degree in his- tory. He then took a master’s de- gree in history at the University of Michigan. In 1959, he was admit- ted to the law school at the Univer- sity of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, which had just begun to ad- mit African Americans under the pressure of litigation. Mr. Cham- bers was chosen editor-in-chief of the law review, thus becoming the first African-American to hold this title at any historically white law school in the South. Ranking first in his class of 100 at graduation in 1962, he taught at Columbia Uni- versity Law School while earning a masters of law degree. In 1863, Mr. Chambers was the first intern in an exciting new program of the NMCP Legal De- fense and Education Fund, Inc (LDF). This program provided promising young African-Ameri- can law graduates with 12 months of training in civil rights litigation and then sent them home where they would commence law prac- tice specializing in civil rights law as “LDF cooperating attorneys.” The LDF provided some initial capital and a small monthly sti- pend to keep these fledgling law practices afloat in their infancy. In June 1964, Mr. Cham- bers opened his law practice in a cold-water walkup on East Trade Street in Charlotte. This one per- son law practice eventually be- came the first integrated law firm in North Carolina history. In its first decade, this law firm did more to influence evolving federal civil rights law than any other private law practice in the United States. Mr. Chambers and his founding partners, James Ferguson and Adam Stein, working with law- yers of the LDF, successfully liti- gated civil rights cases and helped shape the contours of civil rights law by winning landmark United States Supreme Court rulings in such cases as Swann v. Charlotte- Mecklenburg Board of Education (1971) (the famous school busing decision) and Griqqs v. Duke Power Co. (1971) and Albemarle Paper See NAACP On Page 12 Looking For A Large Lunch?

Have annual medical checkup, and keep in touch with a good doctor. 3. Avoid hardening of the arter- ies by good diet, and avoid raising your blood pressure by over activ- ity, over fatigue, over anxiety, and towering rage. 4, Slacken your pace in preven- tion of, and certainly after, a heart attack. _ 5. Avoid strokes by proper diet, calm action, rest and relaxation, elimination of violent emotional or physical outbursts. 6. Cancer is controllable if de- tected early, and a major cure may be found at anytime. A check-up each year is the best defense, plus a visit to the doctor on any major suspicion. 7. Don’t smoke or drink to ex- cess. Give up either habit rather than let it doom you. 8. Maintain a confident attitude about health, but observe and re- spect symptoms and conditions that call for medical attention, and slacken your pace of life. ‘day of fishing in the The Minority Voice Inc. 310 Evans St. Mall, OP slo) arsieiol | Greenville, NC 27835 919-757-0365/Fax: 919-757-1793 Joy 1340 AM i OLOM MS tevellomeitiilela Greenville, NC 27834 Joy 1320 AM WTOW Radio Station MEE al ale] (lama | OMA stsi:) SORE.

As a longtime activist/critic of the multiple ways in which the Democratic Party takes black votes for granted, I was glad to see this story told in the Pittsburgh Tri- bune-Review. Black voters have been the Democratic Party’s most loyal constituency, but we have been shunted aside as the :Clintonites have shamelessly and , shrewdly played the “race card” by reinforcing the notion that white voters’ interests conflict with those of blacks and then trumpeting the “New Democrat” promise that Black concerns no longer carry weight in the party. All this while presuming that we will continue to vote Democrat because blacks have nowhere else to go. The Republicans, shrewd in their own ways, recognize the growing antagonism between black voters and the Democratic Party, and seek to put themselves forward as the alternative. Insofar as black leaders and voters are looking to respond to the Democrats’ manipu- lation of Black America—support for Republican Party candidates can be temporarily useful. How- ever, I am concerned that we not end up manipulated by the Repub- lican Party as well, which has played many “race cards” of its own and which, in my opinion, is not committed to addressing the concerns of Black America. We shouldn’t go from being taken from granted to being taken for a ride.

Molina, who was criticized for his ac- tions, said this week he acted in good faith when he had the Spirit of Chicago cruise ship leave without 41 students. Two schools had booked Lake Michigan cruises to celebrate 8th-grade graduation, but only one school’s students - Logandale which is - predominantly African-American, boarded the ship. The other students are predomi- nantly Hispanic. Spirit of Chicago spokes- woman Janet Treuhalt defended Molina’s decision. “We want the kids to have a safe and quality experience, and what do you do when (Molina) is acting that irrational- ly,” she said. f ABUSE Abused, beaten, wife wouldn't testify against her husband Now she’s dead along with her two sons. They were bloogeoned by their husband and father with a hatchet and knife in New York this week. ~ And there were signs before the trag- ic incident that Anita Stewart Timmons ap- parently ignored. In earlier incidents, she had her eye frac- tured, was threatened with a knife, was pushed out of a window, yet Timmons re- fused to testify against her husband, Richard Lyle Timmons. When police ar- rived at the family’s apartment in Queens, they found a bloody scene and the bodies of Mrs. Timmons, the couple’s 7-year-old son, Aaron, and 13-year-old Sharron. Mrs. Timmons had been decapitated. Police also discovered that Timmons had tried to take his own life by slitting his wrists. He was sent top New York University Medical Center for treatment. Lawyer hopes ex-Black Panther leader will go free Timmons There is a good chance former Black Panther leader, recently released from prison serving a life sentence for a murder prosecutors now admit do may not have committed, will remain free. Elmer “Geronimo” Pratt was convicted of murder in 1972. Pratt’s freedom hinges on case doubts that led to an over- ruling of the conviction on appeal. And the district attorney’s office has promised not to fight Pratt’s release on “reasonable bail.” Pratt’s lawyer for years has claimed that the ex-Panther was innocent of the crime and was being held as a po- litical prisoner. “It’s satisfying to know that we’re writing the end of this story,” said attorney Stuart Hanson. “The last chapter is our chapter. They (authorities have had 23 years to write it, and they wrote it wrong.” Blood drive grows for Malcom X’s wife Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx (New York) has been overflowing with po- tential blood donars who want to keep the wife of Malcom X alive. “As little as it is, giving blood is something that I can do,” said Maria Col- lado, one of the hopeful donars. “I believe in what Mal- com X believed in.” Wife, Betty Shabazz, 61, remains in critical condition at Jacobi, more than a week after she was severely burned in a fire police say was set by her 12-year-old grandson. By TSD presstime, about 90 pints of blood had been donated and many more people stood in line to give. “The only thing I can do for her is give my blood, so that’s what I’m doing,” said, Elwinn Penn of Manhattan.” “We're hoping for 150 pints,” said Lin- da Levi of the Greater New York Blood Center. Penn Resolution offered on PC bospital; and Non-profit group asks Pitt Commissioners to maintain ability to revoke contract that will change hospital The Carolina Health Group, Inc., a nonprofit community organization of medical professionals, including physi- cians, health educators and others, along with other interested citizens of Pitt County, presented a Resolution recently to the Pitt County Board of Commission- ers concerning the proposed change in the corporate structure of Pitt County Memorial Hospital. The Resolution, presented by Dr. An- drew A. Best, a practicing physician for 43 years, recognizes the importance of PCMH remaining financially strong and competitive. It requests, however, that the contract transferring ownership con- tain provisions addressing the concerns of Pitt County citizens which were ex- pressed in several community meetings. Those concerns are that the hospital continue its mission to make its services available to the uninsured, the underinsured and the poor; that fair employment practices as it relates to hiring, promotion, retention and treat- ment of minority employees are guaran- teed; and that minority vendors are able to participate in a fair and equitable bidding process. The Resolution requests that the con- tract recognize concerns about the re- turn on investment the county and its citizens have in the existing facilities, and assure that minority business own- ers and professionals are involved in promotion and marketing efforts. It also requests that the Pitt County Commissioners indefinitely retain the right to revoke the contract, recommends that a model contract be drafted so that Pitt County citizens be given the oppor- tunity to comment on its provisions, and that a citizens’ oversight committee be formed to monitor compliance. “Pitt County citizens just want to be a participating partner in the process of change in the hospital,” stated Dr. Best in ohne statement. Iam Dr. Andrew A. Best, a practicing physician in Pitt County, and Eastern North Carolina for forty three years, five months and sixteen days! Indeed, it is a rare privilege for me to stand before you this morning as the spokesperson for the Carolina Health Group, Inc, as well as a group of Inde- pendent Interested Citizens. Our pur- pose is to present to you a document which summarizes our concerns as we move our health care system to the 21st century. We hope that you will accept us as participating partners in your efforts to make Pitt County a better place to live. Our thanks go out to Commissioner Moore, Commissioner Savage, and the entire board for providing us the opportunity to share our observations and concerns relative to a change in the corporate structure of Pitt Count Me- morial Hospital. Itis in the “Partnership spirit that we submit the following “Resolution” for yourinformation, con- sideration, and guidance as we move toward a decision on this “weighty” matter which lies before you.

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that we the citizens of Pitt County, do hereby recommend that Pitt County Board of Commissioners develop a model contract containing all of the provisions required to permanently protect the expressed interest and concerns of Pitt County citizens as outlined herein; and the Pitt County Board of Commission- — ers appoint a citizens oversight commit- tee to monitor compliance; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Pitt County citizens shall be given ample opportunity to review the provi- sions of the drafted contract and to give input and feedback. Check writers have new protections Until last week, the North Wilkesboro, N.C.-based Lowe’s Home Improvement Centers were like all other retailers, large and small, when it came to the practice of recording the race and gen- der of customers on their checks. This practice has long been required of retailers by county magistrates, sup- posedly making it easier to identify people who pass bad checks. But, many people— those with no record or intent to pass a bad check—reasoned that the ordinance had the same discriminating effect as segregated lunch counters and drinking fountains. Last year “Lowe’s took a real beat- ing,” according to Don Williams, Lowe’s director of diversity programs. The Chronicle—and then papers statewide— ran a story about Evon Crooks, a black man, who found the practice “insult- ing.” After protesting in writing to the company and returning his Lowe’s charge card, Crooks, a senior research chemist at Winston Salem-based R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, sent an E- mail message asking fellow employees to return their Lowe’s charge cards. Simultaneously, Oxford initiated an intense lobbying campaign to change the law through his company’s trade group, the North Carolina Retail Mer- chants Association —by way of its presi- dent, Fran Preston. State Rep. Henry M. “Mickey” Michaux, D-Durham, 23rd District, sponsored HR Bill 790 in the North Carolina General Assembly. Last week, Lowe’s commitment to work for the change paid off when Gov. Jim Hunt signed into law HR Bill790, which buries the longstanding practice. According to the new law, “only the name and mailing address of the check passer ... and an acceptable form of identification ... such as a valid North Carolina driverslicense, will be needed.” “The check acceptor,” under the provi- sions of the bill, “shall not be required to write or print the race or gender of the check passer on the check or draft.” However, individual retailers may still choose to identify customers by race and gender notations on checks. Mu- nicipalities, beginning Oct. 1, 1997— | when HR 790 becomes effective—will be forbidden to require this practice of retailers.

SIERRA LEONE Coup leaders want money 10:90 According to Sierra Leone’s U.N. ambassador, coup leaders will vacate the govern- ment if they re- ceive money. The ambassador called on the U.N. Security Council to warn the rebels against genocide. James Jonah, special representative for elected Sierra Leone President Ahmad Terjan Kabbah who was ousted by junior army Officials late last month, said nego- tiations initiated by Britain and the Unit- ed States were largely acceptable to Kabbah, now in neighboring Guinea. He said the president sent a letter to Niger- ian head of state, General Sani Abacha, with a copy to U.N.

Please pray for me while I continue to pray for myself. May God bless you. Please give me your advice. - N.C., Clarendon Dear N.C., The only thing I could sug- gest to you is that you should go to a doctor and have him or her look at your breasts and advise you. Many women love large breasts. They say large breasts make them look sexy. Many women have paid big bucks in North America to en- large their breasts. What I am under standing from you is that yours are extremely large and they make you feel uncomfort- ble. I know that a plastic sur- geon can help you, but it will cost you lots of money. I rather doubt that you can afford that now and I don’t believe it is wise to do plastic surgery at this time. But the doctor is the best person to advice you. In the meantime, wear ts annoying to reader, asks for help annoy mea lot. Most of my blouses can’t fit me re because of my breasts. I pray night and day that they might good and sturdy brassieres that will help the breasts to be kept firm and you will not feel that they are weighing you down. God bless you. Many women have the same prob- lem, so don’t think you are alone. - Pastor How do you find out when baby is due? Q. Doctor, ifa girl gets pregnant, how can she know when her baby is due? I would like to know when my baby will be born I had sex with a guy whom I met in Montego Bay. Then I had my menses A week or two later, I met this really handsome guy from Kingston I did not mean to have sex with him, but he persuaded me that it would Well, now I find that I am pregnant And I do not understand how I can work out the date when the baby will be born A. Well, it is not difficult to work out the approximate date when any baby will be born. i , ¥) Hn} (it) : | i The important thing is to know the date of the first day of your last menses. To this, you must add nine months and one week. It sounds to me like you had your menses after you had sex with the man you met in MoBay. So I am assuming that you be- came pregnant when you had finished your menses — and then- went to bed with the ‘real handsome guy’ from Kingston. So, what you must do is this. Simply try to remember the date of the first day of that last menses. Then add nine months and one week to it. That will give you the most likely day on which the baby will be born. I must admit that the deliv- ery dates for babies vary. So the date you work out is not on exact one. But, unless the baby is born prematurely, it should See Our 4-Py.

But you must let your doc- tor or midwife guide you on this one. Good luck! Black ‘motions’ Q. Whenever I go out, the motions are black Why? A. This means you are bleed- ing inside. See a doctor tomor- row for tests. I would like all readers to be aware of this warning symptom. Except un- derspecial circumstances-like when you have been taking iron pills - black motions must be reported to a doctor Pain in belly Q. I keep getting pain at the top of my belly A. The likely cause is an ul- cer. See a doctor and get this pain checked out. Sex after menopause Q. I am a woman of 49, and I have had menopause Is it OK for me to have sex, doctor? A. Yes, of course. Many womenare at their sexual peak after the menopause. You may, however, need to buy a tube of an intimate lubricant from a pharmacy. This is because the vagina often becomes a little dry in the late 40s and 50s. Coughing up blood Q. My little boy coughed up blood last night Why? A. I cannot tell you. But any child or adult who coughs up blood must hove his chest sounded by a doctor within 24 hours. The child probably needs to take a chest x-ray as well. Granted Continued From Page 4 however, another alternative. It’s becoming politically independent and aligning with the Reform Party. The Reform Party stands for the proposition that all Ameri- cans—black and white—have been tragically manipulated by both parties. The two parties and the government they control have disempowered the voters and now determine policy on the basis of what's good for various special in- terests and not for the American people. How must Black America re- spond to the arrogant disregard by the Democratic Party and the Johnny-come-lately approaches of the Republicans? By joining with the millions of other Americans who have also been disregarded by both parties to create anew party— the Reform Party—which believes that the political culture of racial manipulation must be replaced with political and fiscal reform that will pave the way for a democra- tized, inclusive and prosperous America. Running away yams a no-no When Evert Boswell, a 32-year- old labourer, appeared in the Mile Gully Resident Magistrate’s Court for the third time last Monday, little did he know it would be the end of the line for him in his bid to prove the ownership of a bag of yams which had been found In his possession. Boswell, who was facing an unlawful possession of goods icharge, was arrested in April when he was spotted in Mile Gully at 2:00 a.m. one morning, carrying @ bag which he dropped and ran when he saw a police patrol. The police gave chase and caught him and upon investiga- tion it was discovered that the bag contained freshly reaped yams. When Boswell first appeared in court, he said a lady gave him the bag of yams, at which time he was instructed by the presiding judge to bring the lady to court at the next sitting. However, Boswell turned up without the lady and told the court the lady was not feeling well, so she could not come, Another date was set for last week Monday, at which Boswell again appeared without his wit- ness. He proceeded to tell the court the lady “is gone to foreign” and he did not know when she would re- turn .He was convicted and sen- tenced to nine month hard labour sl LIZZIE LITTLE In profound sorrow Rountree and Associates announces the death of Mrs. Lizzie Little, 76 of 1009 west third street, who died Saturday June 14, 1997 at her home.

In a USA TO- DAY piece yesterday. Ms. King was quoted as saying “School choice is the civil rights battle of the 90’s The public in most major cities are already segregated and the children are doomed to a failed system giving poor children the means to attend the public and private schools of theirchoice could have the double impact of boosting student achievement and improv- ing race relations.” King, 46, is president of King for America, Inc., in Atlanta. Vernon Robinson, President of the North Carolina Education Re- form Foundation, welcomed Ms King’s pointed remarks. “Ms. King has joined other African-Ameri- can leaders of conscience such as Colin Powell, Rep Floyd Flake (D- NY), Charles Barkley, and Will- iam Raspberry, who have spoken out against the injustice of failing government monopoly schools and support school choice. Leaders across the country, are called on to choose between supporting chil- dren, especially black boys, their parents and school choice or sup- porting the teacher’s union, politi- cal hacks and the disastrous sta- tus quo.

Roundtree didn’t hesitate. “It’s over with,” he said. with an ear-to-ear grin. “The ne- gotiating people bugging me, andI got a state championship to look back on.” Eveyone in the Moye household is proud of Tutu's achievement. He will be going Arizona to begin his professional career in base- ball. His father, Melvin Moye Sr., who is everyone's friend, is proud as is his grandmother. "It doesn't get any better than this," said Kidah Sneed about his recent successes, including being a part of the state championship baseball team at Rose High School. Heading to East Carolina Uni- versity to play baseball, he be- lieves his academic preparation will further assure him the suc- cessful realization of his "vision." Tiger Continued From Page 1 So in a feeble attempt to satisfy everyone, Tiger declared himselfa Cablinasian. No such word in Websters. A major error. “I’m just 21. I've made some stupid mis- takes,” says Tiger. Calvin Peete, who’s won 10 tournaments in 18 years, said, “Trying to satisfy ev- eryone, Tiger has not even satis- fied himself.” So many people see themselves in Tiger, it’s almost pathetic. Blacks see the color of his skin. Asians say “Look into eyes. He’s Asian.” Too many Blacks look at his lips is all you need to know. But Woods to the majority of white folks is Black. And all you have to do is check the racist at- tempts at humor. Fuzzy Zoeller comes quickly to mind. Because of the wars that forced Americans of all colors into the armed services, this nation is a little bit of everything, ethic-wise. World War II saw German, Japa- nese, English, French and Italian women carrying brown babies. The warin Korea matched Black soldiers with Korean women and their strikingly beautiful offspring. The war in Vietnam led to Tiger’s birth as a result of his dad marry- ing a Thai women. African-Ameri- cans have longlost their pure blood line. Lost it in slavery. So what does it matter what Tiger Woods I? He’s an American. Black, yel- low, whatever. One thing we know. He’s a mag- nificent golfer with a great future. Whether that potential greatness will be realized may well be deter- mined by what comes and goes into his head. As it looks now, with Woods chasing greatness, his head seems pretty clear as his battles continue on and off the golf course. This is one Woods with the heart of a Tiger.
