Chronology of t ON at tt auss Ce enody BU a » : Reparations and Economic Independence by Dr. Conrad W. Worrill In the process of building the Repa- rations Movement, itis crucial to take note of an important aspect. of our work that Brother Chinweizu pointed out in a paper read at the second ple- nary session of the First Pan African Conference on Reparations, held in Abuja, Nigeria, on April 27, 1993. Chinweizu observed that one of the most important aspects of the Repa- rations Movement “is our self-repair, the change it will bring about in our understanding of our destiny, the change it will bring about in the world.” -Chinweizu further observes in his paper, “So, reparations, like charity, must begin with ourselves, with the making of the new Black person, with the making of a new Black world.” With this in mind, in our work in the Reparations Movement, we must direct our attention to our external demands at the same time we work on our intemal repair. We must do both at the same time. . It is especially obvious that at this time of the year millions of African people get caught up in the European holiday season by participating in helping the European economic order remain strong. by purchasing their products promoted in the name of the holiday season. Let us reflect for a - moment on this problem. ©. Since being captured from Africa and introduced into the United States of the world’s greatest tragedies. This is the tragedy of being completely taken over by the Euro-ethnic order of America, in almost every area of our lives, at the detriment of our own self-interest. This tragedy manifests itself today most vividly in the area of economic development in the A frican- in-America Community. If you observe the African‘ Com- munity in America throughout the United States today, you will observe that we do not control the economics of our own communities. We have allowed other ethnic groups to become " the major benefactor of the economies of our communities, This problem has major impact on many of the prob- lems we face, such as: the African Family Crisis, African on African (Black on Black) crime, drug and al- cohol abuse, teenage pregnancy, HIV and AIDS, cultural domination, edu- cational genocide, and lack of real po- litical power, et al. All African people in America need to stop and think for a minute and ask the question, why do we so easily and willingly spend our money with other people and these same people do not spend their money with us? In fact, the White community will not even allow African-in- American businesses and cntcrpriscs, for the most part, to open in their communi- ties. One of the most devastating out- comes of this capturing process of African people in America is the fact ‘that too often we look to other people as-a people will not fundamentally change until we decide to make these changes and correct the habits that keep us in an oppressive state. Con- tinuing to spend our money with other people at the expense of ourown com- munities will continue to keep us in a state of begging other people to do for us what we should do for ourselves. In America. most ethnic groups tend to have control of items they consume as part of their cultural heri- tage and characteristics. For ex- ample, the Chinese dominate the rice industry and the Greeks dominate the fruit and vegetable industry. African people cat greens as a part of our regular cultural eating habits, but we do not control greens. Just think, if ‘we controlled the production, pro- cessing, wholesaling, retailing and distribution of greens in America, we would considerably advance our own economic situation. During this season of super pro- paganda and economic rip-offs, let us recommit ourselves to at least become apartof the MATAH Network, which is the only African owned and con- trolled channel df distribution featur- ing hundreds of Black manufactured products. Let us stop the cycle of economic dependence and struggle harder to build the Reparations Movement. - (Dr. Worrill is the National Chair- man of the National Black United — Front/NBUF located at 12817 S.

His charismatic leadership inspired men and women, young and old, in this nation and around the world. . Dr. King’s concept of “somebodiness,” which symbolized the celebration of human worth and the conquest of subjugation, gave black and people hope and a sense of dignity. His philosophy of nonviolent direct action, and his strategies for rational and non-destructive social change, galvanized the conscience of this nation and reordered its priorities. His wisdom, his words, his actions, his commitment, and his dream for a new way of life are intertwined with the American experience.

Later that month AFRO reporter Douglas‘Hall ventured down to the South Carolina, Georgia border and uncovered Cousin of Dixiecrat Nominee tells all August 17, 1948 Morristown N.J. - The reason that Gov. J. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Dixiecrat presidential nominee, does not resemble his half-cousin, Robert G. Thurmond, Morristown post office labor department worker, is that Robert G. is not of the Caucasian There is, however, resemblance in their political aspirations as it was pointed out by Mr. Thurmond here in an AFRO interview on Wednesday. Both men are political leaders, Their kinship was disclosed by Mr. Thurmond,who stated that Gov. Thurmond’s father, James E. (Snip) Thurmond, a prosecutor in Edgefield, S.C. and his father, the late Thomas Thurmond, were half brothers, which makes them half first cousins. Says Well-Known Asked whether he knew Governor Thurmond personally, and whether the South Carolina State head recognized him as a rela- tive, Mr. Thurmond said: “I certainly do know Strom and he knows me and he knows of our relationship because we were the only Thurmonds in Edgefield. He was a youngster when I left home.” Mr. Thurmond, who is 63 years old, also explained that his brother was named after Gov. Thurmond’s father. Before coming to Morristown, Mr. Thurmond lived in New York City where he operated a barber shop. He then moved to Newark where he continued in the barber trade. He came to Morristown in 1926, opened and operated a caff? here, popularly known as the Maple.Leaf Restaurant. Most of his customers he said were from Newark and New York City. It was during the period he was a bistro Operator that he was drafted as Morristown’s first colored Democratic leader. Responsible for Job Open When I accepted that post'15 years ago,” he asserted, “there were no colored persons in any of the better jobs here, not even a cuspidor cleaner in the town's municipal buildings.” Although Morristown is predominantly Republican, he, a Democratic leader, figured in the employment of six other per- sons in the post office, of whom five are working at present. . Mr. Thurmond said he was the first colored person to gain employment in the Morristown post office, a job he has held for the past 11 years. Looking at least 15 years younger than hi¥ actual age, Mr. Thurmond has been married twice and is the father of four chil- dren, and though he was unable to name the number of grandchil- dren, he did name four great-grandchildren, Believes Cousin Made Mistake On the subject of Governor Thurmond, to whom he voluntarily referred as “my cousin,” Mr. Thurmond said that he believed that the South Carolina Governor made the worst mistake of his life in accepting the nomination for U.S. President on the Dixiecrat- State's Rights Party since the Democratic Party in the State is no longer a “franchised club” and colored persons are permitted to vote, ~ As a matter of fact, he had planned to write Governor Thurmond to explain his views, Mr. Thurmond said he never had corresponded with the Goveinor but he kept close tab on him through the newspaper reports. . Mr. Thurmond stated that he believed that the Governor of South Carolina would be one of the more liberal leaders in that State if he “had his own way about things.” three more members of Thurmond’s Colored clan. . © Hall actually was bad. enough td:step to then South Carolina Governor - Thurmond’s offices in Columbia, South Carolina.

J. Strom Thurmond, Dixie nominee for president. , They are Mrs. Eva (Thurmond_ Smith, half first cousin; Thomas Thurmond, half first cousin; and the Rev. James R. Thurmond, half second cousin.. Supporting the contention of Robert Thurmond, Morristown, N.J., the three stated that, not only do they have names spelled the same as the governor’s, but that they are blood relatives to him. - Pastor’s Statement . “Not only that,” asserted the Rev. Mr. Thurmond, who has eight little Thurmonds (half third cousins), “If you really want to see the Thurmonds, you should go up into McCormick County (joining Edgefield County). “Tt seems like everybody up ‘there are Thurmonds. They are of all colors. Some are so white that you cannot tell them from the original Thurmonds. “Sometime ago I preached up there and after I had finished, it seems like everybody in the church came up and told me that they were Thurmonds. They may not be blood Thurmonds but they have the name.” Matron Gives Proof To support her belief that she was a blood Thurmond, and not just someone who picked up the name, Mrs. Smith pointed out a picture of her blue-eyed father, Thomas Thurmond, who was the half brother of James Thurmond, the governor’s father. “Why, I remember well when Gov. Thurmond’s father used to visit my grandfather,” the Rev. Mr. Thurmond added, “‘and they used to sit and eat, and talk for hours. “I remember asking my grandfather why did that ‘white’ man always visit our home. My grandfather told me that they were brothers. Plenty Relatives There are several hundreds persons, colored and white, in this city and surrounding communities who claim relation to They asked me my name and I told them. Then they asked me to spell it. I did. . “The man, who was also named Thurmond, asked me did my folk come from over in Edgefield. I told him that they did. He then told the folk in the office that we were all related.” The only thing that surprises colored Thurmonds is, why is it so important that they are related to the white Thurmonds. It is an old story and “everybody in these parts knows it.” Black press almost excluded Continued from Al try deserves the right to know , what is going on and needs to hear what the president has to say, and that a photograph should be taken by the Black press.
