Find Posters of Lynching

and Blackface Vicious and Offensive....

supply closets on ECU Campus

 

Members of the Housekeeping Staff hold up posters found near

 

 

GREENVILLE A press confer-
ence was held last week at the
Philippi Church of Christ by some
members of the United Electrical
and Machine Workers of America
(UE Local 150) of East Carolina
University. The UE Local 150
group of four housekeeping em-
ployees called the conference be-
cause of alleged acts of racism that
have occurred at the college.

The latest incident involved a
poster of a black man who appeared
to have been beaten and tied to a
tree. The poster was hung in a
janitorial closet late one night
while the housekeeping staff was at
work, The university administra-
tion was contacted, but the workers
feel that the case has not been
thoroughly investigated.

The housekeeping staff is
accusing the ECU administration
of sweeping what they feel is a hate
crime under the rug. "The
University is draggin its feet on
this and nothing has been done to
our satisfaction," said Harold
Willoughby, a housekeeper and
member of the UE Local 150.

ECU attorney Toi Carter said
the investigation is nearing an end
and no guspect has been found. The

University has offered a $500
reward for information leading to
an arrest. "After interviewing al-
most 40 people, no one has been
found who saw or heard anything,"
said Carter.

The offensive posters were

put up a week before Martin .

Luther King, Jr. Day in January.
Posters have been put up on the
three floors where the black jani-
tors work. Another janitor who is
white found no poster on his floor.
In addition to the poster of
the beaten man chained to a tree,
another poster was found of blacks
ing sprayed with fire hoses as in the
1960's civil rights marches. At another
time, a poster of a slaveship was found
near a janitor’s closest.

The workers also reported
that a hangman's noose was found
hanging from a file cabinet. The
housekeepers said that the hang-
man's noose and the posters repre-
sent a pattern of racist incidents at
the University, They also reported
that an increase in racial intimida-
tion and harassment of housekeep-
ers in the past two years.
Housekeepers have continuously
complained about racism and dis-
crimination in their qennen.

  
  
  
 
 
   
  
  
  
 
   
 
  
  
 
  
 
  
  
  
  

A couple of years ago. a

§ former supervisor used a racial slur

when talking to a couple of the

B housekeepers. Last year Chancellor
MEakin found that the overwhelm-

ing approach used in supervising

“the housekeepers was a controlling

approach. The housekeeping staff
who kept records of grievances
about working conditions were as a
result allegedly routinely treated un-
fairly and had their work schedules
intensified by their supervisors.

"The housekeepers. like Sal
DeMarco (a white professor who
was fired) are going through hard
times and a lot of problems at the
university." said Willoughby. press
conference spokesperson. "We are
really concerned about the posters
because we have female workcrs
alone on floors at night and we fear
for their safety," he added.

The university administration
did contact police and security was
placed at the entrance of each floor
for two weeks.

Chancellor Richard Eakin
sent a letter to all housckecping
employees denouncing the postcr
incident. Eakin said in an inter-
view that he was distressed by this
incident. He said that acts mot-
vated by a desire to spread hate and
dissension not only violates East
Carolina University policies on
racial harassment but also violates
the spirit of mutual respect this
campus strives to achieve. Eakin
met with the janitors and ap-
pointed a committee to handle the
housekeepers concerns and gricv-
ances,

Housekeepers still fecl that
their concerns are not being ad-
dressed properly and scriousl\
They are upset over how ECU Is

posters and their complaints of
racism at the university.

Key Witness
in Rev.
Lyons’ Case
to Stop
Defamation

 

 

 

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida --
L\nda Shorter. a former secretary
lor the National Baptist
Convention's President Henry J.
Lyons. has been described by
newspapers accounts as "a_ key
prosecution witness against Rev.
Lyons."

However, the truthfulness of
statements Shorter has provided to
Florida prosecutors has been drawn
into question. According to a copy
of Shorter's statements. some cf
those statements accused Lyons
and 2 local assistant elementary
schoo! principal of having a sexual
encounter, Shorter also reportedly
told prosecutors that Lyons was
paving the assistant principal's
Mortgage

Apparently concerned that
some of her statements to prosecu-
tors might lead to a defamation
lawsuit by Lyons and the female
principal. who is also a member of
Lyons’ church. Shorter retained a
lawyer That lawver. Nathaniel
Tindall. who was once a member of
Lyons’ church. filed a lawsuit last
week sccking a court order that
would essentially prevent Lyons

from filing defamation claims
against his client.
In court. Lyons’ attorney

called into question the truthful-
ness of Shorter's statements to
prosecutors Additionally, the at-
torney made sirong inquiry into the
admitted failure of prosecutors to
investigate some of Shorter's claim
and their decision to include the
claims in a prosecution memoran-
dum that was eventually released to
‘dhe media.

At the close of the hearing,
Pinellas County Circuit Court
Judge John Lenderman denied the
request. of Shorter's attorney.
According to a recent newspaper
article. Shorter's attorney said he
would challenge the judge's ruling
in Florida's Second District Court
of Appeal.

Meanwhile. Lyons' attorney
has stated that his client will no
longer sit back and ‘allow his
name. and the good name of
Church members and convention
members to be drug through the
mud by those aligned with the
media."

The time has come to fight
back and hold people accountable
for any false statements they are
making against Dr. Lyons and
members of National Baptist
Convention," the lawyer said.

 

descent. That is the claim of
internationally renowned attorney,
Dr. Robert L. Brock. Dr. Brock
educates African-Americans on
i making their claims and obtaining
q their reparations. Dr. Brock heads
the Self-Determination Committee
j in Washington, DC. where he has
§ worked for black reparations for
over 40 years.

Ron McNeil of Joy Temple
§ Holiness Church, who has worked
closely with Brock conducted a
workshop last Saturday at the
Dubois Center. Commissioner Jeff
Savage was a guest speaker who
spoke on some local issues relating
to reparations. Robert Johnson, of
Georgia who has also worked with
Brock, gave a talk and informed
the workshop participants that Dr.
Brock's work was now on the
internet. Dr. Brock's train broke
down en route to the workshop and
he was therefore unable to present
as scheduled.

Dr. Brock has successfully
laid the legal foundation for blacks
to get the money for slavery and
past injustices. Because he defeated
the United States (and IRS) in ‘the
US Supreme Court, a legal founda-
tion has been laid for blacks to
make legal claims.

Dr. Brock is currently circu-
lating a petition to sign for those
who want reparations. His work is
leading to the revolution. immobili-
zation and vitalization of the
African-American Community.
Another workshop is forthcoming.

GREENVILLE Reparations arc
not new. Reparations are both legal
and common. Reparations are com-
pensations or restitutions for past
crimes and damages.

The US Government has paid
money (reparations) to many vic-
tims including Japanese-Americans
and Native Americans.

The idea of Japanese
Americans receiving reparations
for three years of interment has
heightened Black Americans
awareness to recieve reparations for
unpaid and uncompensated slave
labor. Since the Japanese were
reparated $20,000 for each descen-
dant or persons interred. many
blacks have begun to feel deserving
of reparations for more than three
hundred years of slavery.

‘Bohana: No Motive to Kill Jermaine Jackson's Ex Wife...
| by Emanuel Parker, Los Angeles Sentinel

 

 

LOS ANGELES Donald Bohana, a struggling Los
Angeles businessman who was dating singer Tito
Jackson's ex wife when she drowned in 1994. had no
motive to kill her, a defense lawyer told jurors last week.

But a prosecutor painted Bohana as an opportunist,
noting that a friend set him up with Delores Jackson.
39 one day after he filed for bankruptcy, and that he
answered his new girlfriend's quest for affection by

abusing her.

Twelve jurors and four alternates heard both
arguments last week in the trial of Bohana, who once
dated Jackson and,is now charged with her 1994

drowning-murder.

Tito Jackson, his sons and Katherine Jackson are
among dozens of witnesses Deputy District Attorney
Patricia Titus plans to call during the anticipated four

week trial.

Harland Braun, Bohana's attorney, said the

defendant also will testify.

Bohana, 61, was arrested last March after being
indicted by the grand jury. A county Aviation member
from 1991 to 1995, Bohana is free without bail
pending the outcome of the trial.

Jackson family members have pushed for the
prosecution of the defendant since Delores Jackson
died on Aug. 27, 1994, in Bohana's backyard pool.

Braun said Bohana did all he could that fatal day,
when she sunk to the bottom of his pool after an
evening of drinking.

Bohana, the lawyer said, had been dating Jackson
for about 16 weeks, and she had fast become close to
his family.

"She found the "Bohanas' a church going, middle
class family and she liked being a part of it..." Braun
said in his opening statement..

= A major legal drama is unfolding in a Manhattan, N.Y. courtroom where federal prosecutors are trying for
the second time to convict boxing promoter, Don King of a fraudulent connection with a 1991 boxing match.
King's first trial in 1995 ended with a hung jury when the government was unable to prove its case against him.
Now the prosecutors are presenting their case again after exercising what presiding Judge Lawrence McKenna

ribed as "judicial vindictiveness" by expanding the original charge to include his corporation, Don King

Ctions. .

« Based on information provided by Joe Maffia, a former employee who resigned from Don King Productions
after King accused him of stealing, government attorneys allege that the corporation submitted a false claim to
insure Lloyd's of London for reimbursement of $350,00 in nonrefundable training expenses. The fact that Lloyd's
iid not challenge the claim or initiate legal proceedings against King, and that similar disputes between
Gorporations are usually treated as civil matters, have led more than a few observers to question the real
fhotivation behind the case.

* The government has continued its prosecution despite appeals to Attorney General Janet Reno for a‘review
of the charges against King by a number of national leaders including The Rev. Jesse L. Jackson, Sr., Senator
Carol Mosely-Braun, Kweisi Mfume (NAACP), Dr. Dorothy Height (National Council of Negro Women), The
Rev. Joseph Lowery (of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference), Hugh Price (National Urban League) and
Congressman Bobby Rush. Rather than responding positively to the concerns expressed by African American
leadership, the government has elected to parade a group of King's critics, competitor, disgruntled former business
associations and other questionable witnesses before the jury in a desperate attempt to obtain conviction.

A number of differences are apparent between the current trial and the one that preceded it. King's attorneys
succeeded in increasing the number of African Americans on the jury to five, from one in the first trial, and they
have exposed numerous inconsistencies in testimony by government witnesses. In addition, the New York City
press corps is giving this trial far less coverage than they did the first one.

The government's aggressive prosecution of this case despite a lack of solid evidence raises a basic question:
Why are they trying so hard to put Don King, a man who paid over $30 million in taxes last year, behind bars?
a ek at the multi-billion dollar industry of televised sporting events may provide some clues to just what's at

A recent study by Richard E. Lapchick, director for the Center of Sports in Society at Boston's Northeastern's ,

University, reported that no blacks had majority ownership or control of professional sports franchises in America.
Black athletes made up 79% of the players in the National Basketball Association, 66 percent of those in the
National Football League and 17 percent of those in Major League Baseball. Yet they account for only 28 percent
of those people running day-to-day operations in the NBA, 13 percent in the NFL and three percent in baseball.
The picture was even bleaker in in the increasingly lucrative business of college sports where nearly 90 percent
of NCAA Division | athletic directors were white, and only 43 black males counted among 2,733 NCAA coaches
(1.5 percent).

In an elite arena traditionally reserved for white males, Don King stands alone as the first and only African
American to have controlling interest in a major television sport in the United States. It has widely reported that
fie has generated more millions for more fighters than any boxing promoter in history. It is no secret that he also
Spntinues to donate much of his wealth to support education, people in need and many organizations, including
some that critics have regarded as controversial, like Nelson Mandela's African National Congress during its

t to overthrow apartheid.
Don King's prominence. independence, and longevity in the boxing business reflect the reality that some in
r nation's power structure are unwilling to readily accept. Like others before him who have advanced the cause
African Americans, he has challenged and overcome barriers imposed by institutional racism to reach the
pinnacle of success in his field. As a result, those who seek to maintain the unjust economic and political
imbalance that persist in professional sports regard him as a serious threat.

In Retrospect: There Really I

History to Black Music...
By Jim Cleaver

 

 

Just recently, there was an announcement that June had been proclaimed Black Music Month. This of course
yrought about some serious questions. Who proclaimed it such? What purpose does it serve? And if there was
ome money to be made. who will make it?

As background, in the month of September, 1960, a record promoter, Granville (Granny) White, orchestrated
he signing of Aretha Franklin to Columbia Records. That was a major event in the annals of music. The signing
ook place in the lavish Detroit home of her father, the late Rev. Clarence Lavon Franklin.

Aside from superstars like Billy Eckstine, Sarah Vaughan, Quincy Jones and a scant handful of others. this
was the first time such a furor had been made about signing a recording artist.

After a few false starts Aretha Franklin's career really took off and today she is called the Queen of Soul. We
need to remember that the late Dinah Washington also held the title. There was somebody before her and before
rer. The list seems interminable.

What we need to remember is simple. These artists are great. Make no mistake about it. They deserve every
ccolade they get. Some deserve even more. We must remember however that all of this hype brings money to the
ecord companies and the radio stations. The promoters of major concerts use the hype to build their audiences.
There is no conscience here. Social or otherwise.

It is interesting to note that as we celebrate Black Music Month, we are also celebrating artists whose primary
hrust is to see how profane they can be without incurring the wrath of the Federal Communications Commission.

In that same context, we are also celebrating artists whose song lyrics invite us to kill police officers and/or
ll figures of authority. These are the artists whose vocabularies start and end with four letter and five letter words
hat we were taught thal should not be used in mixed company.

There is a kind of sadness about the notion of celebrating artists who commonly refer to women as prostitutes
ind female dogs in the common parlance.

“This brings about a question. Does the idea of financial success supplant the essential principles and morals

hat have been a way of life in black communities since the end of slavery? Is it more important to drive a $75,000

ptomobile and live in Beverly Hills than to protect the sanctity of our women and children?

". Whatever happened to the Gamble and Huffs, Mickey Stevenson, Berry Gordy and another long list of
jtimate musicians? Of course we have Babyface Edmunds and his wife and groups Boyz to Men, Take Six and
of the dynamic female singers. Oleta Adams, Mariah Carey, etc. These people are legitimate in their

h and their delivery and they make music a joy.

With few exceptions, they don't even come close to the rapping rubble where money is concerned. These

ists are truly deserving of honor and glory.

The problem is that our young people are flocking to the other side of the fence. It is all but impossible to

down any street anywhere in metropolitan Los Angeles without being blasted out of your shoes by these

lous booming speakers with profanities spewing like garbage in a strong wind.

Perhaps we should look at the various days of celebration and then make some decisions about what we want

} music in the community at large. This may very well be a time when parents need to pay close attention to

phat their children are hearing, dancing to, and otherwise mimicking.

« — It is kind of like when a child is small and does some small thing out of the ordinary. Parents think it is cute

have the child show off to the neighbors and the friends. A little later when that thing, whatever it is, becomes
ive to both the parents and society, it is to late too change the child. The die is cast and there is not much
be done to change it.

-— we come back to the words of King Solomon. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when

is old, he will not depart from it.

We celebrate Black Music. We have not however, separated the wheat from the chaff. We are so involved in
ee ‘gen -- big money -- that we have forgotten that we have a moral obligation to our children and to our

as ‘

Despite the cries to the contrary, we have come a long way as a people. The sadness of it is that we are

ing to a level of degradation that is lower than when we were in bondage and had little or no hope.

4 makes it even worse is the fact that many of our own people are the driving forces behind this madness,

that you have enjoyed Black Music -- if you think the bulk of the music is worth the celebration.

~ In all with this view. Sorry about that. Somehow it seems more

The other worldy intoxication of playing professional sports is luring too many young African Americans
into a longshot gamble for fame and fortune, and away from the education that is their sure thing.

Understanding The Air Jordan Effect

by Earl Ofari Hutchinson., Ph.D.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In Spike Lee's film, "He Got Game," a high school basketball phenom named Jesus, is wined and dined by
recruiters, showered with cash and women and filled with delusions by agents of eternal glory and merge paydays.
Basketball is his super fast track out of the ghetto. The only problem is there's no mention of education, a
profession, and concern for his community during and after his glory days end.

Jesus. the basketball player like thousands of young Blacks is hooked on the other worldiy intoxication of
sports.

The aspiring "Jordans" and pro footballers spend countless hours mastering their dribbling or ball carrying
skills with little thought to their future after their sports days are finished. They live for the day when they will
sign stratospheric pro contracts. Their head are stuffed with visions of fist fulls of dollars and aro further swelled
by scanning the Forbes list and seeing that the richest athletes in the world are Black. The hungrily lo at Jordan

(Mike slipped that year. He was only the number two money maker in 1996. He was number on the previous
year, but was beaten out in '96 by the other big money Mike {Tyson} who hauled in $75 million).

Most Black athletes will never get these big paydays playing games. The chance of a- Black high school
athlete making it to the pros in any sport is 1 in 18,000. Only 2.3 percent or 215 of the 9,500 college football
seniors will be drafted by the NFL. And the odds are 250 to one that a college basketball player will ever wear
an NBA jersey.

The chances of a Black ex-jocks owning, running, managing and working in a non-capacity for pro teams

are equally dreary. As of 1998 there were no Black football, baseball, or basketball team owners. There are few
Black baseball managers, or football coaches. There was only one Black team doctor in baseball, none in football,
and only a handful of Black team trainers in all the sports combined.

action either. Of course, it takes capital, connections and clout to crack this rigidly closed circle, and most Blacks,
or Whites for that matter, don't have them. But many blacks do, and they are still endlessly stonewalled when it
comes to getting league owners to believe that they can deliver.

Many Black Athletes are also stonewalled when it comes to getting a college degree. The report card on the
graduation rates for Black athletes at 50 Division I schools is an abomination. The majority of the schools during
the 1990s graduated less than one-third of their Black players. Four graduated none. Many athletes waltz through
three or four years at college and still emerge as educational cripples, with a curriculum filled with Physical
education, crafts, Physical therapy, and piles of general studies courses. ;

The even sadder thing is that many adult Blacks are guilty of sowing fields of delusions about sports among
the young. This includes many Black parents, relatives, friends, associates, teachers and counselors who
obsessively demand that their children excel on the diamond, or gridiron, but not in the classrooms.

Fortunately however, there are also many African American parents who understand that the antidote to
sports Junkism is ‘0 hold coaches, teachers and counselors accountable for their children's performance in the

A Tribute to Eva Clayton...

Too often, “movers and shakers in the African-American community do not get the recognition they deserve.
Sometimes, the contributions and exemplary legacies left by giants in the civil rights arena are neglected or
undermined for one reason or another. However, one African-American who has been in the forefront of the
struggle is Congresswoman Eva M. Clayton, First Congressional District Representative for the State of North
Carolina. Although her accomplishments for the African-American community are commendable, she is truly a
resi commitment-driven leader for all members of her district, irrespective of race, creed, religion, or

A native of Savannah, Georgia, Eva Clayton made history in 1992 when she became the first
African-American to woman to represent the State of North Carolina. She was also the first African-American
to represent North Carolina in the U.S. House of Se gir pind in 100 years. Of course, George White (black)
represented North Carolina in the House until he left office under intimidation and pressure in 1901. Incidently,
he was elected under the Fusionist Party, an organization of white Populists and Republicans. In any event,
Clayton was elected President of the Democratic Freshman Class, the first woman ever to hold the office.

@ Buy premium gasoline. Your car
will run better.

@ Use a pretty flowerpot to hold

@ Use a clean, empty shoebox to
store envelopes of dry mixes in

@ Store the makeup you use daily in

@ An old-fashioned candy box adds
a feminine romantic touch to your

sorting and storing earrings.

@ Store an extra blanket in a
zippered pillow case on the couch.
@ Buying furniture? Choose end
tables with drawers. .

@ Mount a wall rack to hold
brooms, mops, and rakes in place.

e Instead of stacking extra blankets

WHEN TEENAGERS NEED
THEIR FAMILIES
Teenagers have some very impor-
tant needs that only their families
can meet. First, they need a base, a
center, a place. All these words add
up to security, the feeling that "no
matter what happens I have a place
to go for support." In addition,
teenagers need their families to
provide them with chances to
develop responsibility and inde-
pendence. For the early adolescent,
it may mean going to camp for a

Looking Back.....

week and getting homesick. For the
older teen, it may mean a summer
or after-school job. Third, teenag-
ers need rules and expectations
from their families. A youth who
doesn't know what his parents
expect of him may already feel
"lost" in the world. He'll go looking
for direction--and he will find it
somewhere, even if it is with some
cult or gang. The best rules
however are flexible ones. A young
person needs to clearly know when
a Tule has been broken. But, he also
needs to know how to restore
family relationships. Fourth, any
teenager needs a lot of "communi-
cation" with the adults in his
family. Parents can use mealtime to
be interested and to ask non-
threatening questions, such as "I
heard this record on the car
radio--what do you think it
means?" Teenagers need important
things from their families. They
need a base, some opportunities,
some expectations and some "com-
munication." It is those things, not
movies, cars, and new clothes that
help your teenager become a
mature adult. .

tions is exactly the kind of abuse
we have been trying to prevent,"
said Pierre Sutton, chairman of

Black Owned Broadcasters
(NABOB).

At issue is a 1997 internal
memo that was circulated at
Amcasts, a division of Katz Media
Group based in New York City. It
was included in an Amcasts train-
ing manual, which told company
salespeople to use pitches such as
buying too many ads on ethnic
radio stations would mean " losing
the more important white segment
of the population,” advertisers can
reach "all the ethnics you need
without even using an ethnic
station" and, "when it comes to
delivering prospects, not suspects,
the urbans deliver the largest
amount of listeners who turn out to
be the least likely to purchase."

Soon after acquiring a copy of
the memo, Tavis Smiley, a political
commentator who appears twice
weekly on the "Tom Joyner
Morning Show" (which is syndi-
cated to more than 95 Black radio
stations. including § Howard
University's WHUR), launched a
series of commentaries that took
Katz to task.

Smiley chastised Katz owner,
Stuart Olds, in four consecutive
commentaries for allowing a racist
attitudes to exist within the corpo-
ration, and he encouraged Tom
Joyner Show listeners to call and
fax their displeasure with the
company until Olds agreed to
apologize publicly to Black radio
stations owners and their listeners.
The plight of Black-owned media's
attempt to achieve equitable treat-
ment from corporate American
through advertising has been a
long and enduring struggle. As
was stated by Smiley, Black radio
stations not only receive less that
their fair share of advertising from
companies supported by Black
consumers, but they are also paid
less for the amount of advertising
they do receive. The same holds
true for Black print media, as well.

Dorothy Leavell, president of
the National Newspaper Publishers
Association, a trade association
representing the nation’s black
newspapers, charged Katz Media
memo "is further proof that racism
has permeated this country. They
were foolish enough to put it on
paper at Katz, you can transfer it to
any of the other advertising agen-
cies. I'm not surprised, but am
disappointed that those who re-
ceived such a memo have not taken
steps to cut out the attitude that all
African Americans are criminals."

Hector Hanibal, program di-
rector at WHUR, agrees that such a
memo is not unique to companies
like Katz Media. " This is a really
a big, big problem, and not just for
Katz Media. Discrimination is
indeed widespread in this industry
and it really needs to be ad-
dressed."

"Texaco stepped it up and we
expect the advertising agencies to
step it up, too," commented Joyner,
who along with Smiley, finally met
with Katz Media President Stuart
Olds. "We want results now. It's
time to right the wrongs that
produced this."

While noting that the memo
was a "draft document never
intended to be released," Olds
stated that he wanted Black listen-
ers to know" that is was totally
unacceptable and not reflective of
the way we strive to do business
inside of our organization."

According to Joyner, Olds
announced several new steps his
company will take to address

Delores, however, that project

James Corbett
James Corbett has been pastor
of Community Christian Church
since he and his wife Delores
founded it in 1982. The couple held
the first services in their home with
only three families in attendance.
Because of their faith and dedica-
tion to a vision that God gave them
to minister to the whole man, the
church started growing rapidly.
The church was relocated several
times because of continuous growth.
Today Community Christian
is one of the largest churches in
Greenville. It is a non-denominational
spirit filled word church with well
over 1,000 members. The vision of
the church inchides reaching communi-
ties with the gospel and taking the
message of Jesus Christ around the
world. .
It was while he was in the
U.S. Army in the late 70's that
Pastor Corbett experienced a new
beginning, was born egain and
received the baptism of the Holy

pirit. After eight years ‘of active
military duty, God called Pastor

Corbett into the ministry. He then

left. the military and moved to
Greenville.

Corbett later entered Pitt
Community College and became a
two-time honor graduate. He went
on to receive a BSA de in
accounting from East lina
Upon _—_ graduation
Corbett started to work as a bank
loan officer until he entered the
ministry full-time in 1985. He
went on to get his Doctor of
Biblical Studies and Doctor of
Divinity Degree from World
Christian College Council in
Fresno, California in 1994.

Pastor Corbett has continued
fulfilling the vision that God gave
him to minister to the whole man.
He has ministered by practical
teaching of the Word of God
through church fellowship, semi-
nars, crusades, news columns, daily
television and radio broadcasts,
tapes, and books. His materials are
widely distributed throughout the
United States. Through church
services, bible study, mass media
presentations, training ‘centers,
schools for ministry, church pro-
grams for the disadvantaged and a
Christian oriented school for
grades K - 12, many lives have
been saved, healed and delivered by
the power of God through Pastor
Corbett’s Ministry.

Pastor Corbett and his wife
Delores are “beacons of light” in
the Pitt County Community. It is
their desire help to transform lives
through preaching the Gospel
of Jesus Christ. The couple have
four children and three grandchil-
dren.

did not soon lapse into barbarism,
except under the fostering care and

Historian Arnold Toynbee

will be seen that when we classify
mankind by color, the only primary
race that had not made a creative

the black race." Former

|| CAPE TOWN. S. AFRICA - Casting
|| light into the murkiest corners of
the apartheid state and the human
psyche, a panel probing human
rights abuses in South Africa is
revealing a world of science gone
mad.

Holding the first-ever hear-
ings on the apartheid-era govern-

ment's secret biological and
chemical weapons program, _ the
Truth and Reconciliation

Commission has been listening to
scientists describe making poisoned

chocolates, hatching plots to give

‘Nelson Mandella brain damage and
trying to find a germ-warfare agent
that would kill only blacks.

Ethical standards were aban-
doned as researchers tried to
develop lethal, untraceable poisons
and an anti-fertility drug aimed at
the country's black population.

The army scientists explained
that they were virtually brain-
washed by government propaganda
in the 1980s that South Africa was
on the brink of falling to commu-

nism and black rule. They testified
they were willing to stop at almost
nothing to defend white power.

"That was the psychosis that
prevailed," scientist Dan Goosen
said.

"I was not thinking rationally
at the time," said Goosen, who
headed a covert biological research
laboratory. "Today I know I was
wrong. You can't do that to people,
it is just not justifiable.

Retired Archbishop Desmond
Tutu said this week's testimony was

the most shocking he has heard as
chairman of the — Truth
Commission, set up in 1995 to heal
racial diversions.
_ “Here are people of high
intelligence, coldly and clinically
in white laboratory coats, working
on things they know were meant to
be instruments of destroying peo-
ple." Tutu told the Associated
Press.

One _ researcher, Andre
Immelman, kept freeze-dried sup-
plies of deadly cholera and anthrax

in a small refrigerator locked in his
office safe. The amounts were
enough to cause major epidemics.

_ The scientists said they sup-
plied apartheid hit squads with
poisoned drinks and cigarettes.
Any who had bouts about their
work faced possible assassination if
they broke ranks, claimed scientist
Schalk van Rensburg.

"We had been told in no
uncertain terms, if you let the side
dovin you are dead," van Rensburg
said.

Apartheid State Researched Race-Specific Bacterial Weapons)

Unlike many policemen, sol-

diers and black liberation
who have told the Truth
Commission of their crimes, the

 

men appearing this week were’

educated at top universities and
dedicated their lives to science.
Run through front companies,
the biological and chemical weap-
ons program was controlled by Dr.
Wouter Basson. He had not testified
yet because his lawyers fear he may
prejudice his upcoming court case
on charges he had a sideline

 

   

  

business going, making and selling
the drugs mandrax and ectasy.

However, Goosen gave some
insight into Basson's mindset. The
scientist recalled having tea and
biscuits with Basson during a break
from their deadly research.

"One day the black people
will take over this country. When
my daughter asks me ‘Daddy, what
did you do to prevent this’, my
conscience will be clear," Basson
said, according to the testimony.

Van Rensburg described plans
to poison Mandela, before he .
became president, with thallium to -
damage his brain. There was no :
suggestion the plan was ever .
carried out.

The African National ©
Congress, which won the country's «
first all-race elections in 1994 that -
‘marked the end of apartheid, .

We'll be closed on
the fourth eee

“y Third Reich. The Nazi government
used scientists to devise ways of
exterminating millions of Jews,
_ Gypsies and others.

. The Truth Commission can
grant amnesty to those who fully ;
confess.

uction, Selecti

A half century later, there is
an invisible group of people in our
society, including in communities
1 of color, but there is no hard-hitting
novel to tell their story. The
invisible people are those with
disabilities.

Eight years ago, the
Americans with Disabilities Act

signed and went into effect,
prohibiting discrimination on the
basis of disability. And, while it has
made a significant difference in the
lives of many people, the 54
million Americans with disabilities
still face all kinds of discrimina-
tion.

A few weeks ago, I was
speaking in California and I told
the story of a federal judge whose
mother had taught him an impor-
tant lesson as a child growing up in
the South. When his mother saw
busses passing an elderly Black
woman at the bus stop in front of
their house, his mother went and
stood with the Black woman so that
the bus would stop.

A few days ago. I received a
note from a woman in a wheelchair
who was attending that meeting
and who shared her own similar
experiences today. Often, she has to
get a friend or colleague to stand
with her at the bus stop to ensure
that the bus will stop for her, but it
still happens.

Not surprisingly, that dis-
crimination against people of color
is evident in the job market. About
half of working age Americans
with disabilities are employed and
only one-fourth severe disabilities
hold a job. People of color with
disabilities face double or triple
jeopardy when it comes to employ-
ment. Almost three-fourths of
African Americans and more than
half of Hispanics with disabilities
are unemployed. The tragedy is
that most disabled people are
capable of working.

In addition, people of color
with disabilities are less likely to
, receive rehabilitation services and
educational opportunities are less
available and affordable to them.
Inadequate transportation and
housing for people with disabilities
in disadvantaged communities is
limited at best. There are fewer
mentors and role models for people
of color with disabilities and
mainstream job coaching, on-the-
job training and internships are less
frequently available to them

Finally, some of the organiza-
tions designing programs for the
employment of persons with dis-
abilities do not clearly understand
the cultural differences in commu-
