NOMINATED McLESTER IS FOR TERRY SAN FORD AWARD Shepard Jr. High Guidance Counselor Picked by Educators MRS. MOLESTER Genocide in Black Section Is Discussed Ken Beckford, program di rector for Help House in Dur ham, spoke to the Black Yuuth Forum recently. Brother Beckford's discus sion centered on "Genocide in the Black Community: Nar cotics." The discussion fo cused on the Historical Anal ysis of Drugs, Politics of Drugs and The Economics of Drugs. The Historical Analysis of Drugs as Brother Beckford explained began with Opium Wars, around the 1840's. In talking to the Youth Group he gave dates, events and an analysis from the 1840's to the 19708 on Narcotics and its rise to popularity and con cern. Brother Beckford stated that, Drugs or Narcotics and loud colors did not reach the South until the 1960's and 1970's. "Pop Rock" such as, I wanna take you higher, Cloud nine, Psycadellic shack and others enhanced the use of Drugs by our people." The politics of Drugs was another area that was focused on in the Discussion. Brother Beckford explained that, Nar cotics has been in the Black Community for a long time. Recent commercials, ads, and tough laws emerged from the present concern of other com munities to demolish their Drug problems. Brother Beck ford was asked to respond to the movie Superfly. He ex plained that Superfly was an enemy of the people. Brother Beckford went on to say that junkies not only ruin them selves but also the commu nity.
