Catholic Priest Says Blacks M ust Pay Their Own Price For Freedom By Milton Jordan GREENSBORO Speaking at a one-day urban affair? workshop last Thursday on the A&T State University campus, Father George Clement of Chicago said emphatically that black Americans must deterr mine their own destiny, free of government pro grams and charity. "But we cannot deter mine our destiny," said the black priest, rector of one of Chicago's lamest Christ, 1715 Athens'-St.SunaayApril Vfom-Cfihplic lurches, "ifn taneously in the middle t points home.

' , . , i ; til we accept responsibili ty for each other Using an old Billie Holiday tune as the. cen tral point of his message, Clement, whose sense of humor flashes spon- speech by saying: "I have the answer to black survival under Ronald Reagan, as ar rogant as that might sound. Billie Holiday gave' us that answer many years ago in the song that went like this: 'Them that's got shall get and them's that not shall ose. . . .Momma may have, Poppa may have, but God bless Jhe 1(child that s own. With that, Clement owned the audience of some 100 persons, that laughed with him, ap plauded for him, and amen'ed as he drove the Institute. The theme of this conference, the 13th annual confab since the Institute began in 1969, was "Surviving New Federalism: Brains, Strains and Pains." Morningr and after noon conference sessions included panel discus sions and workshops on "the dilemma of black politics," "education: 6ns '--i-ii,,,a!Ki new federalism: the role of the black family," among others. Clement, . interna tionally known both as headmaster of a school in the heart of Chicago's south side that sets demanding academic and discipline standards, requiring parents to par ticipate with their child's education, and for adop ting an 1 1 -year-old son, also moderated an after noon panel, following his luncheon speech vi... bless .the transit 161 got Jus falldtrts," "the irientir, ' ln hisrwh,;CJeniEn.ta health or the black com- used his experience as the munity: the rising rate of Rector of Chicago's Ho crime, stress and ly Angels Catholic suicide," and "surviving Church, and headmaster of the parochial school the church operates. It is one Of the largest Catholic elementary schools in the nation with a predominantly black enrollment. "When they gave me Holy Angels," Clement said, "I suddenly realiz ed the irony of me stan ding there talking about self-detemrination, arid we didn't have a Quarter Jo operate with. So that first Sunday, I borrowed a page from the book of some., ;,.jtf ;;my;.'i non Cahtolic brothers of the cloth and told my con gregation that they were ! doors, and we were go ing to take up collections p until we had the money we needed.
