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.
King preached oo<v iolence and love among the races
while MalcMrn X, a ho changed his name from Malcolm

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.
