' ?, A aiLCl^VJli I L On Saturday, January 17th, hundreds of Black people from throughout the Sialyl will converge upon the Patterson Avenue YMCA in Winston-Salem to organize North Carolina Chapters of the National Black Independent Political Party (NBIPP). Created to< promote social change and. selfdetermination a new'political parly?The National Black Independent Political Party?was founded August 23, 1980, in New Orleans, La., and chartered at a National Parly Founding Convention in Philadelphia, Pa., attended by more than 1500 people. The Founding Convention ^ named as urgent concerns politics, economics, culture, ajid education. The National Black Independent Political Party-North Carolina (NBIPP-NC) is an outgrowth of that convention and is sponsoring the January 17th "The NBIPP-NC is committed to addressing and correcting the particular problems of society of which Blacks bear an unfair burden," says Co-convenor Barbara Arnwine. "North Carolina's Black unemployment rate is V/i times that of Whites; has a penal population which is more than 50% Black; has a school expulsion rate which is 65% Black, and Blacks are drastically underrepresented at the political levels said Arnwine at a re"^cunt meeting. "Both the Democratic and Republican-par ties have traditionally neglected these problems which areo priorities to the Black community. We must act on these vital issues now." Winston-Salem Coordinator, Larry Little, pointed out that "just as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and other See Page 2 s Graves: "Cc Nursing Hoi By Mari Wooden Baptist Church in < Staff Writer Greensboro.
