GETTING SMART By Walter L. Smart There is a drama going on in the United Stateto day. The drama is con cerned with dreams. While many people have realized their dreams for a better life, others remain in a state of hopelessness because of discrimination based on sex, race, age, handicap, or national origin. One dream that most Americans -haye is decent housing at prices and rents they can afford. For some the dream has become a reality; for too many: others it has been a dream deferred. Each year, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights offers a kind of yardstick on the nation's progress. The commis sion, in its report to the President and Congress surveyed housing and found a mixed picture i during 1979. The commission found1 that minorities, female family heads and other low income families spent '. disproportionately large : amounts of their low in come on deteriorating and ; overcrowded housing. As prices of buying or building single-family homes continue to rise, more and more families have no choice except to rent. A family's range of housing choices to rent is even further restricted by . the continuation of capricious discrimination by landlords against 1 families with children. Many upper income families today view the ci ty as the place to live even though cities are still plagued with many social problems. The prospects for the poor and those of a moderate income living in neighborhoods l hey thought were theirs is not promising. The long train" or auto rides, the move ment of social problems to the suburb, the desire for a different life style these and other reasons ' are accelerating a nation wide movement back to the cities of mostly white middle-income urban pioneers. We can expect more and more low in come families to be displaced from their homes as a direct result of these trends. An example of displace ment of low-income families occurred in Washington, D.C., a city more than seventy per cent black. A recently released study by the Department of Housing and Com munity Development ' ! revealed that over the past five years, 25,000 people were forced to move from their homes and neighborhoods because of the conversion of rental housing to condominum, housing renovations and escalating housing costs. The report concluded that if present trends continue, another 75,000 persons could be displaced in the nation's capital during the next four years. It is ironic that the drive for moderate income : housing in many suburbs, was blocked through zon ing laws enacted by a few to protect the few. Now that the suburbanite is' moving back into the city, the poor and moderate in come family has no such device to "protect" its neighborhood. If the truth be known, inner ci:y residents are not i opposed to suburbanites moving back into the city , and rehabilitating the homes they occupy, they are only opposed to being evicted for the purpose. In this case, the. only hope for many poor and, moderate income families'' is agencies and organiza-1 lions which will work ef fectively in their behalf. Many settlements and neighborhood centers have rehabilitated houses within their neighborhood, and made the units j available lo neighborhood 1 residents at prices and rents they could afford. Tho Future Of Black Radio By Shirley Irving ThigpeB At Paschals Hotel, one of Atlanta's oldest Black businesses, students and members of the music and radio industry recently gathered to discuss the future of Black radio and its relation to the Black community. It was the Second An nual Black Radio Con ference, spearheaded by Lo Jelks, that brought together students from various colleges and universities, who are in terested in communica tions and radio, and pro fessionals from the record industry representing such giants as Philadelphia In ternational Records and Motwon Records. One of the main speakers was Kenneth Gamble, president of the Black Music Association and Chairman of the Board of Philadelphia In ternational Records. He emphasized that "Black students have the potential of solving the Black man's problems in America." "Through our determina tion and belief in God-and our music, we have surviv ed." Gamble encouraged students to "look at the world-what is the destiny of the Black family and community?" He challenged students to develop strategies to aid the progress and develop ment of Black people in the United States. Gamble supported the suggestion that Black students form a National, Black Students Com munications Network, drawing membership from the national body of students in colleges and universities across America. Lo Jelks, affiliated with the AUC Digest and WAUC in Atlanta, was the conference Chairman. Other speakers included Jack "The Rapper" Gib son, of Orlando, Florida, and Attorney Curtis White, of Washington, D.C. These types of programs must be expanded. Even if upper income families were not moving into the neighborhood and causing the eviction of poor families, the continued deterioration of the hous ing should be unaccep table. Meanwhile, the displacement of blacks and the poor to parts unknown continues unabated in record numbers; houses in urban areas that could not be given away only a few years ago are being sold today at prices far beyond the reach of local residents. The impact of this situa tion is so blatant, that the Commission on Civil Rights warned that much needs to be done to im prove equal housing op portunity and to assure there is enough housing to meet the nation's needs. It called on Congress to put teeth into the Fair Hous ing Act by enhancing federal enforcement authority. It also urged a speed-up in developing fair housing regulations and efforts to reverse the downward trend in units of assorted housing. If the nation is to remain strong and just, then Americans must renew their dedica- . tion to the continual pro mises of equality and justice for all.
