To fpllow its own direction of "don't say, do", the Foundation started out by planning what may be one of the ! most important con- c . 1 iereni.es ever iu uappcu in Detroit. Entitled "Beyond Politics: i Hunger and Thirst in the Hofn of Africa; The In ternational Mandate for ! African Americans", the one-day conference is scheduled for Saturday, November 14, at the Boo Cadillac Hotel in Detroit.

To commemorate, this day, a resolution was passed by the National Conference of Black Mayors making Friday the 13th African Refugee Day in alithe cities head . ed by black mayors. On the evening of Fri day the 13th, the Foun dation is planning a sym posium on the "root causes" of the situation which has resulted in the severe refugee crisis on the continent of Africa and specifically in the Horn.

He said the struggle for' freedom and democracy has seen limited success and the effort needs to be inten sified because many na tional policies have recently come under at tack. Affirmative action, the Voting Rights Acts and many other gainare under major assault. . Farmer said the powerful "new right" of today is composed of the same right-wing forces that blacks dealt with in the sixties, now using more sophisticated tac tics and strategies.. Farmer said , many names of the conser vative organizations of the past have changed, but many of the actors are the same. "They have gone underground, but have not died." The Hoover Institute produc ed some of today's con servative leaders. He said groups such as the Moral Majority, who impose moral values upon society, are neither moral nor the majority. Those who argue that the Equal Rights Amend ment is immoral or what is Christian are also pro ducts of the new right. Tuition tax credits and the voucher, system two proposals designed to aid parents of private school i '.children " "sounds : good,' ' but would cut the heart out of education for most children," Farmer said. Anti-public,' education sentiments have gained momentum and public employees have come under attack. The North Carolina Association of Educators has recently attempted to address society's ills via political action, marking a rever sal in past practices. The group was 'warned by several ' politicians that political -v action - could spell defeat if candidates they support do not win seats." The educators have continued ' to. be politically active.
