-'South. The South has pard the most dues to
change socially and to make adjustments. In some
ways it is more prepared emotionally for the new
era we must move into. In addition, the South is
the poorest region with the greatest possibility of
change."
"What will that agenda contain?"
44Blacks and whites have common economic
needs. We must move from racial battleground to
economic commonground. We must change that.
Toxic wastes are being dumped in sites all across
the South. We must get rid of that. ... We must lift
the standards of human need for people. We must
move to issues where blacks, whites, women and
men come together."
"The speech you made at the Democratic Convention
has been tagged one of the greatest
speeches ever. How did you feet about your
speech ?'
"The greatest thing about that speech was that
it was uncut. We earned the right to be indepen?dem^
Nobody told me what I could say. That's
why I want the people to help me pay our campaign
debt ($500,000) so we can remain independent.
I don't want Mondale or the DNC

debt."
" Was your campaign one that would allow you
personally to gain clout and political prestige?
My campaign was about demanding equity and
parity for the locked-out. It was about 10,000 running
for their self-respect. And we made it."

has in his skin, says Dr. Lynn Hale, a public health
physician with the Reynolds Health Center.
Pigmentation is the element of skin that gives off
color. People with darker pigmentations, says Hale,
are less likely be burned by the sun's rays, while
those with less pigmentation, such as whites or
lighter-skin blacks, are subject to sunburn.

with the deeper impulses of our
being. Such helps us every day to
broaden our lives in some way.
We refuse to close ourselves in, to
narrow dow n the confines of our
lives, to surround ourselves with
a wall of self-centeredness.
We grow along with life; we
flow with life, realizing that
Divine order is the perfection that
makes us unsatisfied with the imperfect.
It is the harmony that
will not let us be content with
confusion; it is the knowledge
that will not let us rest in ignorance;
it is the light that will
not let us abide in darkness and
one step at a time will lead us
through, helping us to meet every
ch*Hmge- with cotrrage- and-eru?
courageiueirt, seeking the good in
every experience, coming forth to
bless our lives.
This, realization lifts us to a
new and positive frame of mind
and we find boundless strength
and inspiration, a fresh impetus
for every undertaking. |
