Bill Scott, Executive Director of the Scotland County Reaction Commis sion, is the group's new President. Jim . Lowry of Durham is Executive How many times have you grumbled when you read or heard how more than forty percent of our Black youths are unemployed? What thoughts came to your mind7 Racism? Unqualified? Well, some thoughts come to my mind, but they are not racism 1 nor unqualified. . All negatives in the Black community i are not the result of racism, and I am : proud of the thousands of youthful . Blacks who have acquired college educations. Unqualified is an excuse that the private sector will have to eliminate. But, my young friends, I want you to remember that acquiring an . education should have done more than prepare you for a job, it should have also taught you how to think. So, you haven't been able to find a position in the field in which you . ' studied, but is that reason enough to sacrifice your pride and dignity. That's right! When you are not working, you are not only an unemployed statistic, j but you are also without pride and dignity. You can't force business and , industry to create new jobs, but you 4 can retain independence and pride by working. Where? The same jobs that v helped your parents and grandparents survive years ago. ..that's right, waiters, bellhops, and waitresses. As the old adage goes: "A bird in the hand beats two in the bush," and , v always remember that you can still ' look for your ideal position while ; working on the less desirable job.
