Fall Fest Thanks Residents for ( Almost ) Violent-Free Summer By MARK R. MOSS Chronicle Staff Writer f : v One of the reasons for holding the Cleveland Avenue Fall Festival last Saturday was to thank the com munity's residents for a summer that was not plagued by violence. x Without benefit of crime statis tics for the Cleveland Avenue Homes community, the "thank you " appeared to have been well-earned. (The community's only major inci dent involved city Police Officer E.F. Piscitelli who shot to death Daron Lamont Bines on June 1 after the two fought.) And the children were out in numbers to take advan tage of the appreciation. ? f "Everybody seemed like they enjoyed themselves," said Mattie Young, president of the Cleveland Avenue Homes residents council. One of the goals of the festival was to let young people know that they're important, she said. The fes tivals other message was anti-drug. The festival, the second one in v as many years, was sponsored by the Cleveland Avenue Task Force and the residents council. The task force is composed of several area businesses and the city police department. Southeast Ward Alderman Larry Womble, who is running for re-election, climbed atop the stage and introduced Lottie Shackleford, a vice chairperson of the Democratic National Committee and former mayor of Little Rock, Ark. Shackle ford was in town for the African American Summit held earlier that day at Winston-Salem State Univer sity. "This," she said about the festi val, "is the kind of thing the Presi dent (Clinton) wants to be support ive of," she said. She explained that "empowering the neighborhoods" is a policy the administration whole heartedly supports. Among the half-dozen or so acts to perform were two gospel groups, rap artists and a one-man comedy routine. Near the end of the four-hour event children - from toddler to teen-age - boogied to the latest rap and R&B tunes that blasted from speakers set up on the mobile stage. Leaders Prepare for African- American Summit - By DAVID L. DiLLARD Chronicle Suff Writer How can African Americans rebuild and strengthen their commu nities? returning to the impor tance of religion, education and working in unity, said Lottie H. Shackelford, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee and former mayor of Little Rock, Ark. . Shackelford addressed a gather ing of African Americans at the Anderson Center oh Saturday dur ing an all-day planning session for the upcoming Winston Salem/Forsyth County African American Summit. - "Working together is the only way to create the future we need," she said. "We must go back to our core values or this summit means nothing." Shackelford said that blacks have always been responsible peo pie and taw-abiding citizens; but would appear to be unlawful when fighting for justice. "We have always been the most law and order people, ?she said. "When we fought punishment, what we wanted was fainjess and equal zens broke up into three groups ? education, criminal justice and eco nomic development ? to develop initiatives to present at the summit. Denise Penn Powell, with the education committee, said they dis cussed getting the 300 area churches ity. That's all we've ever been to adopt a school as a project and make sure children are afforded a quality education with opportunities for higher education. about." Shackelford said many times blacks don't like to come to summits because they feel as if they are only rehashing things that have already been done, but setting an agenda is important for future generations. "We can't afford the luxury of getting tired," she said. 'The future holds better for the next generation than it does us." Alderman Larry Womble, who along with others was instrumental in bringing Shackelford, said the summit will be held in January or February. At the planning sessions, com munity leaders and concerned citi Annette Scippio, executive director of Leadership Winston Salem, said the criminal-justice committee is focusing on ways to educate and rehabilitate youthful offenders. Greg Squires, a concerned citi zen with the economic development committee, said his group is identi fying long-term and short-term ways to develop the financial resources in East Winston, includ ing supporting Mechanics and Farmers Bank and Victory Credit Union. ~"We are identifying ways to support the instituffons with a base in the African-American commu nity," he said. Squires said the group is work ing closely with agencies dedicated to economic development in East Winston as well as trying to identify a minority general contractor. As a short term goal, Virginia Newell proposed formation of a million-dollar club made up of African Americans who will donate $1 million to Victory Credit Union by December 31. "It's the only (black) financial institution left that was born and bredJiere," she said. Newell said the club has already started raising money and is seeking new members, and they also plans to support Mechanics and Farmers Bank. r"1? ^ Sevcrul irenagen take the stuge Saturday qftet enjoying the Cleveland Avenue Homes-Fall Festival.
