so-called fake elections

representative said. :MSo
when he comes back he will
say to President Career,
I was there, I saw elections
taking place and we should
recognize the regime.
We should lift economic
sanctions against the
country".
Nelson Johnson, re
presenting Workers View
point Organization, said
we will carry out our duty to
expose Jesse Helsm as an
enemy of the Zimbabwean
people." Workers Viewpoint
is a communist organiza
tion. '
The ZANU representa
tive claimed that libration
armies had freed a third
of the countryside from
Smith's regime and pro
mised that 1979 "is to be a
decisive year." Maintaining
that majority rule schemes
should not transfer power to
the African masses in Zim
babwe, Kangai labeled
Bishop Abel Muzorewa and .
Chief Sithole as Ian Smith's
stooges who prolong the
war which starves hundreds
of African children daily.
Despite the April 20 elec
tions, Kangai said, the re
volution will continue to
rebuild liberated areas
and meet the needs of more
than 2 Vi milion people
in those areas.
Ms. Ida Muldrow, an
organizer for the African
Liberation Support Com
mittee at NCCU said that

Zimbabwe - r from- the '
Durham ALSC chapter
last year and that cloth
ing and drugs are being
collected again.
Tirivafi Kangai,
thankful for those efforts,
asked that the ALSC "re
double your efforts." '
Similarities in the Rho
desian and Afro-American
struggles were noted by
Kangai beginning with a
Malcolm X teaching, and
a principle of ZANU to
support human rights
"by any means necessary".
Like Malcolm X, ZANU
maintains that capitalism
and imperialism must be
overthrown by revolution
ary violence. 1
"Malcolm X served the
interest of the masses,"
Kangai said. "Malcolm
X had the ability to bring
to the oppressed masses
understanding," said Nelson
Johnson. "He knew that
Hampton To
Got Honorary
Doctorato
WASHINGTON - Lionel
L.. Hampton, the legendary
jazz artist, will receive an
honorary doctor of music
degree at Howard Univer
sity's 1979 Charter Day
convocation ceremony on
March 2.
The ceremony, which
starts at 1 1 ajn., in Cram
ton Auditorium, commemo
rates the founding of the
university 112 years ago.
"Hamp," as he is known
to his many fans, started
his career as a musician
playing bass drum in a band
composed of newboys for
the Chicago Defender. He
then played drums with the
Les Hite band and vibra
phone ("vibes") with the
Benny Goodman Quartet
before forming his own
orchestra In 1940.
Since those days, he has
played his gutty, toe-tapping
music in many parts of
the world and for five
presidential inaugurations.
As a composer, he is best
known for his four-part
"King David Suftfi a
symphonic jazz work
.inspired by a trip to Ivael.
he had to raise the con
sciousness of the masses
who would rule." !
Johnson said that
Malcolm X wasn't afraid of
rocking the boat as he was
a constant source of
criticism- of the "petty
bourgeois" leadership.
Retold as a Malcolm X
speech popularly called the
"Message to the Grassroots"
in which Malcolm X criti
cized Martin King, Jr.,
Whitney Young, James
Farmer, Roy Wilkins, for
their-roles in toning down
the 1963 March on Wash
ington from an occupation
of the nation's capital that
was planned to . disrupt
the government to a picnic.
Malcolm X was also critical
of then President John
Kennedy who, the revolu-
tonary leader said, manipu
lated and controlled King
and the blacks leading the
March on Washington. :
The method of control
was what Johnson calld
called "dual tactic of the
carrot and the stick",
whipping civil rights forces
inline by murders, FBI
slander and on the other
hand buying off leadership
through federal grants and
foundation funds. Johnson
said the Ford Foundation,
poured $17 million into
North Carolina alone and
the speaker included him"
self and a long line of
others who were employed
in the North Carolina Fund.
The North Carolina Fund
was part of the Ford Foun
dations "Grey Area Stud
ies" which was aimed
federal and foundation
funds, Johnson said.
Unless people study
the lessions learned from
the sixties, the same mis
takes will be made in the
current struggles, John
son said as he called on
persons to join Marxist-Leninist
study groups con
ducted by Workers View
point Organization,
Concluding. Johnson said
the oppressed masses in the
1960's had no communist
party to lead them against
the ruling class which ulti
mately caused the cessation
of black liberation strug
gles in the sixties.
Several other organiza
tions expressed their solidar
ity to the ZANU revolution
aries and teachings of Mal
colin X including Friends of
Moore, Lightfoot and
Edley, also in Philadelphia.
A native of Charleston,
W Va., Edley graduated
magna cum laude from
' Howard in 1949 and
received his law degree
from Harvard University -in
1953.
Through the years,
Edley has served on over
a dozen boards, including
those of American Airlines,
the National Bank of
North America, the
NAACP Legal Defense
. Fund, .Inc., and the
American Academy of Po
litical and Social Science.
Among the honors he has
received ' are honorary
degrees from Swarthmore
and Rust Colleges and a
previous alumni award from
Howard designating him as
the outstanding graduate of
the class of '49.
