RALEIGH (CCNS) - His
torian John Hope Franklin,
Chairman Emeritus of the
History Department of the
University of Chicago, spoke to
the Founders Day convocation
at St. Augustine's College
urging for. a fuller participa
tion of blacks in the political
process. Franklin said, !The
burdens of freedom are heavier
than the burdens of slavery ,M
as he urged bis audience of
more than 500 to seize the
opportunity to end "the
incidious discrimination of
race, sex and religion."
: Franklin taught at St.
Augustine's College during the
1940's but said he left to
avoid, the draft. Rerrdnicing on
the evils of segregation in
Raleigh when he taught at the
college, Franklin said that the
State Library was not opened
to black scholars; and that all
five of the blacks employed
in professional roles in state
government were housed in the
Delany Building on Hargett
Street in - the then-all black
business district.
Citing the elimination of
segregation since his tenure at
St. Augustine's in the '40's
Franklin said the struggle of
blacks is not over. Asking what
needs to be done, Franklin
pointed to unemployment -
twice as high for blacks as
whites - and air pollution,
urban decay, disintegration of
the family structure, and a
weak moral fiber as problems
facing the black community
IRS REPORTS
SLOW FILING
GREENSBORO - The
first five weeks of the Federal
income tax filing period indi
cates that about a 16 per cent
decrease in the number of re
turns received compared to
the same period in 1976, the
Internal Revenue Service said.
' Robert A. LeBaube, IRS
District Director, remarked,
"We encourage people to go
ahead and file their returns
early, and not wait for the
rebate program proposed by
the President. Early filing
of ,a return will not adversely
affect the refund or tax owed
in the event a rebate is
authorized at a later date."
"The director added that an
accurate return will speed up
any refund and every taxpayer
should double check to see if
his return is correct before
mailing it in. Mathematical and
tax calculation errors are the
most common, with omission
of signatures close behind. Also
some taxpayers from North
Carolina are claiming both
options for the General Tax
Credit. The choice is between
taking $35 for each exemption
or two per cent of the first
$9,000 of taxable income,
whichever is the larger.
today. V
Franklin criticized those
who makes excuses for not
fighting to solve the nation's
ills. He said "excuses are the
mainstay for those who do
not have the courage to face
reality."
Franklin also criticized the
widespread acceptance : of ;
blacks in entertainment and
sports as role models, urging
acceptance of a broad array
of role models. '
Dr. - Prezell Robisdn,
president of St.;;, Augustine's
College, characterized Franklin
as a "model in terms of vigi
lance and perserverance" for
students to accept.
Flanked by several local
and state politicans and public
servants, Franklin mentioned
the. appointments of Howard
Lee, Secretary of Natural and
Economic Resources; Dr. John
R. Larkins, as Assistant for
Minority Affairs for Governor
James Hunt; and Harold Webb,
state personnel director. He
pointed to these as examples
of progress blacks have made.
In Founders Day activities,
the faculty and trustees of the
college bestowed an honorary
Doctor of Humance Letters
upon Dr. Frederick D. Patter
son. Also cited for civic ser
vices were Howard N. . Lee ,
