"Yeah, 'till September at

"Naw, I heard they may be

"Yeah girl, I thought I was

laugh. No one knew why, so
we all just laughed with her,
until someone asked her why
she was laughing.)
"You know what was
p ii shin' up 'gainst my
breastbone"?
"No what"? (almost in
unison)
"That old stave in that
corset I'd had for twenty
years". No one enjoyed her
relief more than she. Then to
make the scene more
relievable, someone asked her:
"What are you down her for
anyway"?
"A check-up", she
answered. Possibly the
universal expression was made
by an elderly lady, who began
with-
"Well, I've had pains in the
body (physical), pains in the
head (mental), and pains in the
heart (emotional). I guess you
call that experience. But you
know what, I feel free, 'cause
ain't no place else for me to
pain". The doctor called me
next. My Mood pressure was

WASH I NG TON The
NAACP filed a Federal suit on
Tuesday, May 29, against the
District of Columbia Fire
Department in an effort to end
alleged racial discrimination in
employment.
The suit was filed by the
NAACP Washington Bureau in
the U. & District Court
Named as defendants were
Mayor Walter Washington and
Fire Chief Burton W. Johnson,
both whom are black, and the
predominately white Local 36
firefighters union.
The NAACP charged that
the fire department
discriminated against blacks in
its recruiting, hiring,
assignment and promotions.
The suit also attacked the
department's tests, background
investigation, probationary
period evaluations and
disciplinary procedures.
Consequently, the suit said,
three-quarters of the
firefighters are white although
the. District's population is
three-quarter black.
The Washington Bureau also
Enounced that the NAACP
d won a decision in Federal
court under the 1972
Amendments to the Equal
Employment Opportunity Act
In that case, U. S. District
Court Judge Joseph C. Waddy
ruled that a person was entitled
to a hearing before the Civil
Service Commission even
though she no longer was
employed by the Federal
agency against which she filed
complaints.
The woman, whom
Attorneys Nathaniel Jones,
NAACP general counsel, and
Francis Pohlhaus, NAACP
Washington counsel,
represented, had been
employed by the Department
of Agriculture. She left the
department after filing charges
of sex and racial
discrimination.
But a hearing examiner
ruled, and was upheld by the
Civil Service Commission that
she was not entitled to a
hearing because she had left

BLACK
By John Hudgins
mm
John Hudgins
John Hudgins (June 9, 1973)
The appointment of Dr.
Grady Davis to the North
Carolina Board of Paroles is of
questionable value to the Black
community. In saying this I in
no way want to speak of Dr.
Davis' competence or his
qualifications for the position.
What I am more concerned
about is the manner in which
he was appointed and the
circumstances surrounding his
appointment. He was
appointed to replace the only
Black currently on the board.
While Mr. John Baker's
performance is questionable,
his departure is not He has
become a victim of petty
politics and political patronage.
James Holhouser has attained a
degree of prominence because
of his recent. Black
appointments. However, it is
becoming clear that these
appointments are geared
toward improving the number
of Black who vote republican
in this state, and not
necessarily toward improving
the living conditions of Blacks
in the state of North Carolina.
If performance is the
question why was John Baker
the only man that Dr. Davis
could replace. What was wrong
with two Blacks on the Board
of Paroles inasmuch as Black
people constitute the majority
of the prison population. I am
convinced that the issue here is
more than performance but
rather the replacement of
Democrats tokens with
republican token. This in my
mind raises the whole question
of continuity and overall
objectives of any Black
appointments in this state..
One must ask if Dr. Lamie
Horton's job in minority
relations is solely to mate
more Black republicans. How
'else do we explain his meant
stunt with uncle Floyd
McKissick geared toward
increasing the number of
Blacks in the republican tmty'
Black people in this state have
far more problems in this state
mat are more crucial to our
survival than party affiliation.
It seems to me that a person
committed to Black progress
could find something more
constructive to do in his
position than concentrate on
party politics.
What we are not dealing
with at all is the similarities of
both parties. Black people who
become caught up in party
politics are for the most part
opportunistic dupes. Durham
has its share of Black or
nonwhite stools for the
democrat party. Scattered
throughout the state are
various Negro and colored
party loyalists, republican and
democrat. Unfortunantely,
what most of these people
spend their time doing is
bickering over crumbs of favors
they can get from white
politicans. At no time before,
during or after elections do
they try to work together for
the growth and good of all
Black people in this state.
I am concerned that we
develop a power base (and we
have the strength in North
Carolina if we unite) so that in
'76 we don't see a rash of new
tokens based on party
loyalties. If that is the case
them we as a people are caught
up in a game. A game that is
deadly. For in this game are
hung up on relative or
comparative progress, and not
on absolute progress which is
more important. We can not
compare Holhouser with Scott
or democrats with republicans
but rather where are are with
where we must go. We can not
do this if each step forward is
knocked down by a step
backward which is directly
applied to related to white folk
uncle torn petty politics.
I should hope that Dr. Davis
will make a worthwhile
contribution to our growth in
this state. My concern is that
we avoid making him in '76 the
kind of victim he is replacing in
'73. Talk about his

the home economics building,
a new communications

He holds the B. S. degree in

RICH (Raleigh Inter-Church
Housing) is sponsored by three
Black and two white churches
In Raleigh. Each church elects
representatives which make up
the Board of Directors. Making
Hie comments on behalf of the
Atlanta HUD office was Luke
Brown. He cited the RICH

system as one of the best in the
state of North Carolina. The
comments were part of the
fmi.-tig HUll sponsored
workship held in Rocky Mount
last week tor all non-profit
multi-family housing sponsors
and managers. Other housing
managers in attendance came

physicians are more anxious
than ever to know as much as
possible about the chemical
composition and the reaction
of drugs upon patients and
upon other drugs," said Dr. W.

"This is especially
important when treating older
persons as they frequently have
multiple illnesses and each may
require treatment by a
different drug," he said.
The conference will deal
with topics of interest not only
to physicians, pharmacologists
and pharmacists, but to nurses,
physician's associates and
others who have a medical
responsibility for the elderly.

educator, and the late Dr.
Ralph Bunche, lawyer and
government statesman.
Dr. Vernon Clark of
Durham was recently elected
president of Shaw University's
National Alumni Association.
The first meeting of Dr. Clark's
administration was held
Saturday, May 26 in
Washington, D. C. This meeting
of the executive committee
dealt with organizational
structure, chapter unity and
effective activity, membership
drive, and homecoming plans.
The need for greater
participation on the part of
alumni throughout the country
was stressed by the association
president. Dr. Clark also
emphasized the great and
important need to maintain
and give increased financial
support to the private black
colleges and universities. He
said that the survival of these
institutions may be the last real
chance of black people to plan
for the kind of academic and
social environment in which
the majority of black students
are able to realize their full
potential.
It was revealed by Dr. Clark
that a tremendous effort will
soon get underway to solicit
financial support from entire
black communities and from
all other sources of where men
of goodwill and understanding
can contribute to the worthiest
of causes, a fair chance for our
youth to develop their talents
in an atmosphere of peace,
serenity and fairplay. Dr. Clark
said to speak of concern for
black youth does not mean the
advocation of separatism and
ill-will among men of all races,
but, rather, a sense of
recognizing social and cultural
differences, while at the same
time accepting men for their
worth and dignity.
As president of the Alumni
Association, Dr. Clark also
serves on the Board of Trustees
of Shaw University. A meeting
between Alumni
representatives and the Board
has been arranged in early
June,
WASHINGTON - (NBNS)
-Black artist Henry Ossawa
Tanner has been chosen by the
United States Postal Service to
represent the plastic arts in the
1973 series of postage stamps
honoring the American Arts,
An 8-cent stamp
representing Tanner will be
issued Sept. 10 in Pittsburgh,
Pa., where the great artist was
born in 1859, the son of a
minister and later bishop of the
African Methodist Episcopal
(AME) Church.
Other stamps have already
honored composer George
Gershwin and writer Willa
Carter. A poet, as yet
unnamed, will round out the
Tanner, the first Black
American to achieve
international recognition as a
painter, will be the first Black
American to be represented on
a U. S. postage stamp.
Congressional effortsto win
this honor for the late Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., led by
Congressman Robert N. C. Nix
(D-Pa.), have bee rebuffed by
the Postal Service.
Tanner's reputation as one
of America's most profound
artists has been growing in
recent vears after a long period
of neglect A major exhibition
of his paintings, organized by
the Frederick Douglass
Institute in collaboration with
the Smithsonian Institute's
National Collection of Fine
Arts, was held in Washington in
1969 arid travelled to major
museums in Cleveland, San
Antonion, New Orleans and
Pittsburgh and to the Brandeis
University, Waltham, Mass., in
1969-70.
Tanner's great potential as a
painter was first recognized by
Thomas Kakins, perhaps
America's greatest painter, who
took him as a student and who
later honored him by painting
his portrait in 1900.
Full recognition of Tanner's
talent did .not come, however
until he moved to France in
1891. After further study in
Paris, his work was accepted at
official exhibitions year after
year and bis award-winning
paintings were purchased by
the French Government and
now hang in French museums.
In 1923 he was awarded the
French Legion of Honor and
four years later was recognized
in his own country by election
as a full academician in the
National Academy of Design.
He died in Paris in 1937.
Tanner discovered painting
at age 12 or 13 when he saw a
painter at work while he was
walking with his father in
Philadelphia's Fairmont Park.
Later, after his mother had
found 15 cents to buy him
paints and brushes, he returned
to the same spot to paint his
first picture. He later wrote of
this effort in which he
balanced a canvas on his knees
while mixing dry- colors on a
pastebwurd psJette.
