: ‘Serving Eastern North Carolina Since 1981. Two Marches, _ by Eric Ture Muhammad © ATLANTA—Billed as “Two ‘Marches, One Agenda,” the prin- ciple conveners of the Aug. 26, “Redeem the Dream March” and ct. 16, “Million Family March” JMFM), Martin Luther King III. president of the Southern Christian ‘seadership Conference (SCLC), Reverend Al Sharpton, president of the National Action Network (NAN). and the Honorable Minis- act Louis Farrakhan on July 24, at the Georgian Terrace Hotel, stood apgether to announce their endorse- ahent and support of each march. MEM National Director Min. Benjamin F. Muhammad opened ‘the conference announcing the marches’ vitals, telling the press gathered that the two national mo- ‘bilization’ share one agenda. “free- -dom, justice and equality for all.” ‘He called the marches, “a new ‘fovement for change in America and throughout the world,” Saying he was honor¥d to be present at the news conference, Mr. King said the Million Family March teaches people to love themselves, family, community and most impor- tantly to love God. He commended Min. Farrakhan and Rev. Sharpton Slavery émedy.dudge David.A, is "Shaheed : While media attention was focused upon the fate of little 6-year-old Elian and whether his Cuban family or Miami family would be victorious, 2- year-old Phanupong Khasri, a victim of the international sex ». trade industry, was almost lost *, to the world. , This small child from Thgi- - land arrived in Los Angeles over a month ago in the arms ‘of his mother who was sold into sexual slavery at the age of 12, according to Thai media reports. Her son was meant to be a decoy, and it is suspected that the mother was brought to the United States to become a sex slave. Although most of us believe that slavery ended with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1865, international sex traf- ficking is a growing cancer feeding upon defenseless women and children. The following are some of the findings of the United States Congress in H.R. 3154, Comprehensive Antitraffick- ing in Persons Act of 1999: for being men who work from a sense of conscience. “These two giants of men have taken on issues not because they were safe, not because they were popular, but because their con- sciences have told them they're right and 1 am honored to welcome them both to Atlanta and to join in supporting the Million Family March,” he said. He called the MFM-effort ex- tremely vital, pointing out that he, too, is a product of a single-parented househald. “For the most part. I was raised ina single family household. My father was killed when I was 10-years-uld.” he recalled. Over 50 percent of Black households are headed by single parents, the civil rights leader said. Regarding the “Redeem the Dream March,” Mr. King said the SCLC has conducted 12 hearings on police brutality and misconduct over the past year. The march on Aug. 26 will focus on racial profil- ing and police brutality. “The reality is enough is enough and we are not going to take it any- more. Around the concept of racial profiling we have come together, Rev. Sharpton and I, to call for a Redeem the Dream March on the 37th anniversary of the March on |Lt.is-estimated.that.more - that 1000iN@iViduals, prima- rily women and children, are trafficked within or across bor- ders annually. Approximately 50,000 women and children are trafficked into the United States each year. 2. Traffickers primarily tar- get women and girls, who are disproportionately affected by poverty, lack of access to edu- cation, chronic unemployment, discrimination, and lack of vi- able economic opportunities in countries of origin. 3. Women and children traf- ficked into the sex industry are exposed to deadly diseases, including HIV and AIDS. Traf- ficking victims are sometimes worked or physically brutal- ized to death. 4. Worldwide, the industry is the fastest growing and third largest source of profits for or- ganized criminal enterprises, behind only drugs and fire- arms.

In Texas and Health Care for Homecare By TYRONE FREEMAN :- . | Nowthat the County " *. “1 has its Medicaid waiver, wHat’s next? The Federal govern- ment made no secret of its disappointment in the County’s progress toward ‘ . Meeting its man- dated goal of moving people out of hospital and emergency rooms and into preventive care. and community based clinics. Implicit _ imthe Federal government's granting of the new five-year waiver is the provision that . the County step-up its efforts to more ag- ' gressively work toward meeting this goal. ‘«*. Yet, the County is currently taking a : stand with regard to home care workers that » not only will impede the progress of pro- “viding health care to all, but will ultimately “increase the burden on our already over- _ taxed hospital system. . The county’s reticence to provide home care workers with a livable wage and health benefits runs completely counter to the intent and spirit of the federal government's mandate. The County currently spends q “Rearly $10 million a year on providing *, health care to uninsured home care work- “ets. This staggering amount is reached be- cause rather than access preventive care Pidesenzrsnce, thése workers and their ies are forced to utilize costly emer- ~~ gency rooms to meet their most basic health care neéds. Insuring these workers would cost less and would further the County’s overall health care goals, _ Furthermore, by not providing these care givers with a livable wage, many will be forced into other jobs in order to support their families, thereby reducing the number of qualified homecare workers providing essential care to over 90,000 seniors and people with disabilities in Los Angeles Countv. The impact of this will be that seniors and people with disabilities, who rely on home care to meet their most basic daily needs, will be shifted into nursing or long-term facilities, which costs four times what home care costs. Under Gov. Gray Davis’ proposal, homecare in counties like Los Angeles would be improved by providing a wage increase to $7.50 an hour and health ben- efits to workers. San Francisco pays its publicly funded homecare workers a liv- able wage of $9 an hour with health ben- efits and has already seen the workforce stabilize, giving seniors and people with disabilities the reliable care they need. Los Angeles County leads the state with over 90,000 low-income seniors and people with disabilities needing homecare. That number is expected to double over the next two decades, yet we are already at a crisis level for homecare in terms of poverty, turnover and stability. Los Angeles County can avoid future failure and begin to secure the homecare workforce this year under Gov. Davis’ proposal. We owe it to our elders and those with disabilities:to:make sure they can rely on quality care to stay active and contribute in their communities. At the same time we need to assure those that render the care, that they can provide for themselves and their own families.

In the days before were some signs that - _ The substantial support b Bush, at least in Texas, also shattered ‘myth that blacks are cradle-to-grave re- flexive party-line Democrats. A sizable — - percentage of blacks are pro-life, pro-school ” prayer, anti-gun control and anti-welfare. Many also enthusiastically support school vouchers, three strike laws, stiffer sentences for crime, and drug use and oppose abor- tion and gay rights. yas | The National Urban League’s recent annual State of Black America report con- firms that blacks, like many whites, have benefited from the boom times. They are better educated, own more homes, have made impressive gains in the corporations and the professions. Democrats sée this as a plus for them. They bank heavily that they won’t risk rocking the boat by voting for Bush. But that same prosperity and political comfort can be a double-edged sword for the Democrats. Many blacks and.Latinos now feel that they have a stronger stake in the system. Republicans try to play to that feeling by pitching to blacks and Latinos that their proposals for school vouchers, bigger tax credits and cuts, and more aid to small business, and school vouchers are the best way for them to accelerate their upward social and economic climb. But prosperity, relative racial peace, and the social and the increasingly political conservatism of many blacks and Latinos is not cnough to cause them to make a headlong dash into the Bush camp. He would have to do much more than dole out the few paltry dollars the Republicans have on ad campaigns to attract more Latinos. And he would certainly have to do much more than utter the kind of stock, warmed over platitudes about diversity that he did at the recent NAACP convention. He would have to pledge to make po- litical appointments in his administration that reflect the diversity of America and to confront such hot button issues as immi- gration reform, racial profiling, the death penalty, the grotesque racial disparities in the prison and criminal justice system, a disastrous drug policy, support massive funding increases for health care and edu- cation and greater protections for social security. : The Cheney pick. however, makes a mockery of Bush's dangled hints that he would do any of these things. It also gives no reason to think that Bush will do any- thing to make over the GOP froma clubby. : _ Party of “ole” conservative whiteguysinto a party of gender and racial inclusion. In fact, a poll released the same day tha Bush picked Cheney showed that black andLatino support is still rock solid for Gore.

This year, Dr. James Comer of the Yale Child Study Cen- tet, Dr, Ron Ferguson of Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government and other leading educators focused on education and developing strat- - egies to close the achievement gap between white and black children as well as improve the quality of education for every child, The group discussed exciting programs and innovative models, including the Harlem Children’s Zone created by BCCC Work- ing Committee Co-Chair and Children’s Defense Fund Board Member Geoffrey Canada. Canadais also president of the Rheedlen Centers for Children and Families, a non- profit community-based organization work- ing to improve the quality ‘of life for chil- dren and families in New York City. The ° Harlem Children’s Zone grew out of Rheedlen’s experience during the crack epidemic that swept Harlem neighborhoods in the late 1980s. Canada and his colleagues observed that when drug dealers and ad- dicts broke into an abandoned building the police would return to board up that build- ing only once or twice, leaving the drug business to flourish. But if Canada's group focused on locking a building up every time it was broken into, after five or six tries drug dealers weuld stop returning. Once Rheedlen realized they could take back and protect one building at a time, they tried to see if they could create posi- tive change block by block. When they succeeded they then tried it neighborhood by neighborhood. This idea became the Harlem Children’s Zone. - ~ get surpluses, government — espe- a pag the federal level — has a ~- Wiigue opportunity and perhaps a responsibility to do what government sometimes does best — provide for the least of its citizens. While it is commendable that some units of low-and-moderate-income housing has _ been and will be built this:year in the city, the number could be increased appreciably if the federal government kicks in with more subsidizing.

There are still plenty. of homeless per-. sons in the area and thousands who still cannot afford their own homes or even a decent apartment, Some persons will call for less gvern- ment in many areas of life, arguing for self-sufficiency or state’s rights and re- sponsibilities, but this is one case where more is needed — from the federal gov- ernment. We must champion our own cause id Black Americans have a voice in the Presidential pri- maries? . Or did we, as African Ameri- . cans, again stand in the shad- ows of the political stage like an orphan, her greatest hopes wrapped up in some tiny rag doll she clings to? Over one million Black Americans are in prison. The disparities in punishment, for those who use crack cocaine vs. those who use powder remain. Affirmative ac- tion is under fierce attack. The ‘new face’ of AIDS is ours. Poor children are being left at home uncared for while their moth- _ ers are forced to work.

For much of the remainder of this decade we are likely to pay a price for our lack of volume in this year’s presidential primaries. In the interim, we have no time to wait for Malcom, Martin, Medgar, or Ms. Tub- man to rise from the dead. Our people are suffering. The storm is gaining momen- tum. A shelter must be found.

Staff Weiter: WASHINGTON—While Americans are more disengaged from the political process than in ° the recent past according to-a new report, Black voters are getting ready to make a difference m the elections, observers believe. “The Pew Research Center for the People and the Press released their findings July 13 from a na- tionwide survey of voter attitudes conducted in June which also seem to indicate lower voter turnout this fall than four years ago. According to the report. “Two main factors underlie flagging voter interest. First, many citizens say that who is elected president is not as important as it once was. Sec- ondly, younger Americans are more cynical and disconnected from _ politics than even in the recent past.” The report predicts that, “at this point, there is a good chance that voter turnout will be lower than in 1996, when just 49 percent of age- eligible citizens cast ballots. And it seems virtually certain that par- ticipation will fall below the 55 percent who voted in 1992.” This report of the lack of interest in the presidential campaign comes right before the two main candidates conventions which are just weeks away.

The word “baptize” instead of being translated into our lan- guages has been transliterated into a word which sounds like the Original Greek word which was used by the writers. Actually, it means “to totally identify by submersion." When a garment is dyed, it becomes totally identified with the color of the dye. It is baptized into that color. _.___ The Holy Spirit totally identified us with Jesus Christ at the moment of salvation. . Water Our Voice Is The "M" The Associated Press DURHAM — Poor or black heart attack victims are less likely than white men to be administered or informed about simple, inexpen- sive treatments such as aspirin, a Duke University study has found. Duke internist Dr. Kevin Schul- man and a team of researchers studied 169,079 Medicare beneficia- ries who were hospitalized for heart attacks between 1994 and 1996. The team sorted the patients according to sex, race and socio- economic status, which was based upon the individuals’ ZIP codes. The findings are being published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association. The researchers studied patients’ charts to determine what treatments were offered. Blacks were 16 percent less likely than whites to get clot- busting drugs and 3 percent less likely to get aspirin upon admis- sion to the hospital. Typically, in the first few hours after a heart attack, doctors respond with aspi- rin and clot-busting drugs, which help to break up deposits in the arteries and improve the patient’s chances of surviving. Blacks also were 6 percent less likely to leave the hospital with prescriptions for beta-blocking drugs. Doctors generally prescribe aspirin’ and beta-blockers to pre- vent another attack. Women were 2 percent less likely than men to get aspirin on arrival or departure but received the other drugs at the same rate as men.

At the moment of salvation, the Holy Spirit baptizes every believer into Jesus Christ. We become intimately united with Jesus. We. become members of His body. Romans 6:3. says--Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:13 -- For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body- whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free-and have all been made to drink into one Spirit and Ephesians 5:30 --- For we are members of His body, of His flesh and His bones.

Your Voice less likely to get every treatment | than those with higher incomes. “This should be a cause for alarm for everybody,” said Adam Searing, project director for the N.C. Health Access Coalition, an advocate of affordable health care. “The system is really failing folks, and the way to-attack:it is to:go:in and make changes in the way we™ deliver care.” The cause of the disparity is most likely a result of overworked . hospitals and a high number of poor patients, not outright preju- dice, Schulman said. “When you have a system fail- ure, the people who are most affected by it are those who are least able to speak up for them-. selves — minorities or poor peo- ple,” Schulman said. “If you are a heart-attack patient, before you go home, you should get an instruc: tion sheet that says take an aspi- rin, so you're not just relying on physicians to tell you that.” The disparity, while statistically small, affects many thousands of people, Schulman said. Cardiovas- cular disease killed nearly 50,000 black men in 1997, according to the American Heart Association, mak- ing it the leading cause of death among black males. The report follows several others in recent months indicating that poor people and blacks are not given the same level of care as white men. This past May, Schulman and his co-authors released a study indicating that medical students were more inclined to diagnose. a white man’s heart symptoms than a black woman’s. : Today, lots of parents work hard to make ends meet.

Our Lord and his ‘ Chosen Twelve were poor so far as we are able to judge from the . inspired records,---except James . and = John and Matthew. ; Accustomed to voluntary giving : to the Levites, the Jews evidently : extended this usage to everything - religious that appealed to them as : being of God. The disciples had . a general treasurer, Judas (John ' 12:6 ; 13:29) and never lacked: ‘ though it is equally evident that _ they never solicited alms. Not a hint of the kind is even suggested in the record of our Lord's words. He trusted to the Father's provi- sion, and certaift honorable women ministered unto him (and his) of their abundance. (Matthew 27:55,56; Luke 8:2, 3 Had our Lord's sermons and parables been laced with appeals for money, it would have sapped their life. Nothing appeals to us ‘more than does the evident unself- ‘ishness of the Master and all his ‘specially chosen ones, Judas be- ing the only exception, and his greediness cost him his fall. (John 12:5,6) The love of money and show the begging system of Babylon is very prevalent today. The Lord has provided this far for his “harvest” work without one soli- tary appeal being made for Hon and we trust it will never be. Let those ambitious for this world’s luxuries and wealth seek them in the fields of trade or in ‘the profitable professions; but let ‘none become ministers of the ‘Gospel of Christ from any other Motive than love for God and for ‘his Truth and for his brethren: a love that will rejoice in sacrificing ‘ease and wealth and honor of ‘men--not grudgingly, but heartily. « Nominal Christianity has grown : great and wordly, and her servants ‘are honored with the titles: ‘Reverend, Very Reverend, and « Doctor of Divinity; and with these honors and titles go salaries---not ; according to the minister’s needs, ‘ but on the commercial basis of his ‘ + ability to attract large congrega- . tions and wealthy people. The ‘natural result has followed--- “ The priests teach for hire and the prophets thereof divine for money. They are all DD’s. They can never have enough ---they look to their own welfare, every one for his gain from his own denomination---they have ears that itch for the praise of men and they shall turn their ears from the , Truth and shall be turned unto fables.” (Isaiah 56:10,11; Micah + 3:11; Phil. 3:2; | Timothy 4:3,4) Following in the footsteps of Jesus will not lead us in the direction of salaries; neither will the footsteps of his chief apostle, Paul who. showed that to ask earthly compensation for spiritual . services would in no sense violate : justice; however the Lord, the apostles, and their associates who traveled and gave their entire time ‘to the ministry of Truth, did - accept voluntary contributions » from the brethren to meet their , expenses; and, as already inti- | go! Oe ving ca ot 6 ~ about to start their first missionary + tour, seems to have implied that | the elders serving the Church at. \j- voluntary services of its own of the Antioch Church upofi Paul and Barnabas when they were the Church became responsible | for their expenses, and corre spondingly Participated in their work. There is t no record or hint that home received salary or expense money; and we believe that it will generally be found advantageous to each local church to use the members--- few or many, great or insignificant. This Scriptural method is spiritually, healthful: it tends to draw out all the various members in the exercise of their Spiritual gifts, and leads all to look more to the Lord as the real Shepherd, than does the hiring method. The serving Elder and the members of the Ecclesia (church) should see to it that all ‘be exercised, and particularly such as fim possess qualifications for leader- ship; otherwise the spirit of | Babylon and churchianity will be sure to develop. THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD by Zora Neale Hurston This novel, which was first published in 1937, is Hurston’s most highly ac- f claimed work. A classic of | black literature, it tells with | haunting sympathy and pierc- ing immediacy the story of | . "aiiuay- Janie Crawford’s evolving selfhood through three mar- riages. Fair-skinned, long haired, dreamy as a child, Janie grows up expecting bet- ter treatment than she gets until she meets Tea Cake, a younger man who engages her heart and spirit in equal meas- ure and gives her the chance to enjoy life without being one man’s mule another man’s adornment. It is a tribute to: the author’s wisdom that though her story does not end happily, it does draw to a satisfying conclusion. Janie is one black women who doesn’t have to live lost in sorrow, bitterness, fear, or foolish roman- tic dreams, for Janie and the reader have learned “two things everybody's got tuh do fuh | theyselves. They got tuh go tuh God, and they got tuh find out about livin’ fuh they- selves.” In Minivan Discounts and Rebates Financing Over 100 New & Used Minivans in Stock! lal Financing On The Following Models!
