This particular shopping area in the 2500 block of Merchants Organize To Fight Crime! Nuisance Fayetteville Street, a black business district, is a special target for hanging out. riMlahySilMMnfltM tainees and displaced1 persons and ''their, families. . According to Bishop Tutu, the con ference is the focal point of attack by the South African government .' The remaining money will help pay the legal fees incurred during the' current investigation. Contributions for the grant . wer& ' , raised through Church World Service, the relief and development fund are of the NCCC. "This contribution means more than anyhting, by just, being able to say that the Chur ches of', God arc with us," said Tutu-, after receiving the grant from Dr. Claire Randall, general secretary of the NCCC. 'lt is not the amount. We arc an in carnational church and therefore symbols mat-: ter. "We will make it quite clear that these funds were given by our sister Council of Churches as an act of solidarity By Joseph E.Green Plagued by crime, loitering and other headaches that could put them out of business, a small group of ten black merchants recently started fighting back. These business operators, located mostly in the lower Fayetteville Street area, principally ne,ar the Evans . Shopping Center, have organized to combat street -hoodlums, burglars, dope pushejrs and loiterers outside their establishments. The merchants named their organization the Durham Black Merchants Association. They have contacted local law enforcement of ficials, as well as state officials. The officials say they will help as much as they can in the effort. - "Oime is allowed to exist at ob-; vious levels, in the black ' community," said William McLaughlin, a local businessman, and one of the organizers of the group. '"In the white community; there is more crime deterrence. We want black merchants to receive the same' type of protection that white 'mprrhnnf s rwpiv " ruoiic aaieiy t uirccior jaimaage w . i.lv. J " "V i Lassuer - qeniea mai oiacK mer chants receive substandard police ' protection. "We have probably spent more time in that particular area, trying to work with these., merchants and their problems than any other place in the city," Lassiter said. "And while we will do everything we can to help them, there are some things they must do as well." Lassiter said the merchants should be willing to levy trespassing charges against people who loiter around the stores, because there's no actual law against loitering. The problems these merchants face are fairly complex. For exam ple, in the 11 -store Evans Shopping '' Center in the 2500 block of Fayet teville Street, people congregate in the large parking lot. Mostly they lounge around, sprawled on cars, leaning against walls, or sitting on the edge of the walkways. On the surface, it seems innocent enough, but the merchants are convinced that other things happen, too. They say some of these loiterers also sell drugs, rip people off, and fight frequently among themselves. ; Just the sight of the loiterers and the possibility of something happening keeps legitimate customers away, ' according to the merchants group, r McLaughlin said that most black businesses are fighting for "their very existence" at a time when the : country is , under tremendous economic pressure. "Many black merchants are fighting both infla tion and the high costs of being broken into." McLaughlin's business has been 1 burglarized five times in less than , ' four years. Many of the other mer chants who have organized thei group have experienced similar pro blems. Ralph and Tee Williams, who, have a business on Fayetteville Street, like McLaughlin, have also been the victims of thieves. "It's hard for a black person to stay in business in a climate in which crime runs rampant," said Ralph . Williams. "If we do not do anything about this situation, then nobody 4s- -going to do anything." ' ! William? whtrwas trained as a lawyer, has rnet with state officials 1 who say that 'they are going to help the black merchants. At the ; group's most recent . meeting,1 Williams reported that state officials had observed the con ' duct of people loitering outside of black owned businesses on Fayet teville Street and indicated that they were going to do something about it. One state official is going to meet with the group this week, Williams reported. ,, McLaughlin said that the group , hoped to have as many as 40 black ' merchants join the group. He said that black consumers would not shop at businesses where they thought that they would be accosted :as soon as they walked out of the front door. "This is something that is in the best interest of the total black com munity," McLaughlin said of the group's effort. "Either we fight back or the young thugs will take, , what many of us have built over the years."
