Forum in memory oj hl!BI|IIHIIIII*iWglMW?W?W imgww IIII?,III1W!I m .V^r' IB By-RQBfN ADAMS~ ~ " , . ? Chronicle Staff Writer In the memory of Muslim activist Malcolm X, a forum entitled "Martin and Malcolm, Jesse and Farrakhan" will be held Friday night, May 18, at 7 p.m. at the Jesse Jackson campaign office at 112 W. Fourth St. The program has a dual purpose, says organizer Clifton Graves, affirmative acton officer at Winston-Salem State University and a Chronicle columnist. "First, we will be celebrating Malcolm X's birthday, which is on May 19 (he would have been 59 years old) and, second, we will have a discussion on and analysis of the leadership styles and ideologies of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X and the Rev. Jesse Jackson and Minister Louis Farrakhan. "Most people know Martin and Jesse, but they are not aware of Malcolm X and Farrakhan. In fact, a lot of people haven't heard of Farrakhan." The forum will be held in a panel discussion format with audience participation. Serving on the panel will be Khalid Fattah, a member of the local Muslim community, the Rev. Carlton Eversley, pastor of Dellabrook Presbyterian Church, and North Ward Alderman Larry Little, Jackson's Forsyth County campaign coordinator. While Jackson and the controversial Farrakhan, head of the predominantly black Nation of Islam, have embraced one another and become friends, King and Malcolm X stood 'V different ideologies.

Had both not fallen victim to assassins' bullets, however, that might have changed in time, says Graves. "Had Malcolm and Martin not been assassinated, we may have seen a coming together," Graves says. "And now, 15-20 years later, Farrakhan and Jesse have come together. And that has had an impact on the black community." Safety caps can prevent poisoning Thousands of children are accidentally poisoned each year. Safety caps on medications have helped, but the cleaning and polishing solutions, drain cleaners, bleaches and other household chemicals so commonly stored under the sink are tempting to young ones, point out human development specialists at North Carolina State University. Crawling children and toddlers are fascinated by the colorful containers that are right at their eye level. These common household chemicals are helpful, safe and effective when used as directed. But they can also be fatal to a child. It is the responsibility of adults to protect children from these substances by keeping them out of reach. s < ommmmiiHimiimiiHnwH Poverty From Page A4 tightened, too, to exclude the working poor and to limit | participation not just to the poor, but only to the poorest I of the poor. i For blacks, poverty jumped an astounding 44 percent in the three-year period when including benefits, and 15 i percent when including only cash income. 2 That tells us a number of things: first, that the federal I mnvA* Still Excited Hii who placed second in the school race in the May 8th primary, says she's I - . . excited about having I IN3ITI6 I fared so well.
