President Reagan To Address Blacks On Bro wn *s ’Journal
During a special edition of
"Tony Brown’s Journal,”
airing at 7:30 p.m. on
Channels 4 and 26, Presi
dent Ronald Reagan deliv
ers what is tantamount to a
State of the Union address
to black Americans.
What television viewers
will see is a president
trying, after his first year in
office, to bridge the gap
between his administration
and the nation’s black citi-
Reagan
Brown
zens.
Reagan revealed for the
first time in the taped
interview what blacks can
expect form his “new fed
eralism” proposal, the cen
terpiece of his State of the
Union message, to transfer
responsibility for social pro
grams to the states. When
journalist Tony Brown ask
ed how blacks would fare
under his new chief domes
tic legislative initiative and
if they would get caught in
a power play between the
federal and state govern
ments, the president
adamantly said, “No.”
President Reagan charg
ed, however, that under the
Democrats, the federal gov
ernment had previously
“shut its eyes” to the
abuse of “constitutional
rights of the black popula
tion” at local levels. “The
duty and obligation of the
federal government is to
guarantee the constitution
al rights of every citizen in
this country” even “at the
point of bayonet, if
necessary,” Reagan said.
“If I have an intolerance
at all, it is an intolerance for
bigotry and prejudice,” he
explains.
President Reagan stressed
that he has scrupulously
avoided boasting about his
record on racial matters
because he feared that he
would be perceived as
“showing off,” but told
Brown that for the first time
he was publicly making it
known that as governor of
California, “I appointed
more blacks to executive
and policy-making posi
tions in state government
than all the previous gov
ernors of California put
together,’ ’
President Reagan promis
ed that the budget for black
colleges will be increased
“next year over this year”
and that the urban enter
prise zones and a revived
economy will curb the
record unemployment
among blacks.
At another point in the
interview, the president de
bunked the theory that
black children cannot learn
“unless theyhe sitting next
to white.kids” as “demean
ing and humiliating” to
blacks.
The buildup to this histor
ic one-on-one interview was
a rejection of Ronald Rea
gan at the polls by blacks,
followed by a lingering
doubt that he would heart
ily oppose discrimination
and culminating in a fierce
outcry when his administra
tion allowed tax exemptions
to private schools that seg
regate. The result was the
most severe confrontation
this president has had with
another group of Ameri
cans.
But when President Rea
gan stepped before the
cameras with Brown, a
journalist whose career is
synonymous with black-
affairs television, he re
sponded to the crucial
questions on the minds of
the nation’s 30 million

19 years ago. He compared
the drug problem to “grab
bing a handful of
quicksilver: You think you
have something and when
you look closely, it’s
nothing.”
Ron Ceveness, who has
served as a principal at the
elementary, junior high and
high school le.vels, said that
the problem is virtually
non-existent at Jefferson
Junior High.
“It is not as evident as it
was before. It’s just not as
prevalant,” Gibson said. “1
don’t kid myself. It comes
and goes. Right now 1
would say that we’re at a
lower point than a year ago.
Alcohol and beer seem to be
the kick now.”
“In my school, 1 have not
seen a problem,” he said.
“I have not had any refer
rals or anything. But the
drug problem tends to com
pound as the child gets
older, which would mean in
the high school levels.
Junior high principals in
terviewed say the problem
grows as the students grow.
“Another factor that helps
our school is its small size.
We are able to have close
supervision for all the
students here. Supervision
is the key to curtailing the
problem. In the high
schools there are so many
students It is impossible to
keep tabs on everyone all
the time.”
“I’m always scared to
death to assess something
like this,” said Bruce Tark-
ington, principal of Mineral
Springs Junior High. “I
feel like we have a minor
problem, but you can never
really be sure. We try to
, keep our children responsi
ble through education. The
hardest part is getting at it
once you suspect a pro
blem.”

The Black Development
Fund
The Black Development
Fund is not a formal
organization controled by
any one individual or
group. It is rather a na
tional movement to keep
more of black income and
wealth in the black com-’
munity. It is a concept of
giving for black self-
support. The only require
ment is that every able
black understand the need
to give and then give to a
black organization or in
stitution of his/her choice
on a regular basis. Under
the plan, each month one of
the following 12 categories
will be identified and
publicized at the local level:
Jan, 1. Black civil
rights organizations
Feb. 2. Black can
didates, black political and
voter participation
organizations
Mar. 3. Black religious
institutions
Apr. 4, Black senior
citizens organizations
May 5. Black Africa
and Caribbean relief
June 6. Historically
black colleges
July 7. Black legal
defense funds
Aug. 8. Black hospitals
and health care organiza
tions
Sept. 9. Congressional
Black Caucus (Political Ac
tion Committee)
Oct. 10. Black arts and
cultural organizations
Nov. 11. Black family
support organizations
Dec. 12. Black youth
and child care organizations
A Mission for Everyone
In addition to the 12 rules
and the Black Development
Fund, the plan contains a
mission for blacks in every
walk of life. Fauntroy said,
“There is now a plan of ac
tion in which all black peo
ple can play a meaningful
part. Whether one is a
black in business, labor,
civic, fraternal or profes
sional activity; whether one
is involved in civil rights,
community action, religion,
politics, education, youth
and elderly services, or in
prison, there is now a plan
by which blacks may coor
dinate in our struggle for
the common good.”
The Action Alert Net
work
Finally, the plan urges
blacks in all walks of life to
join the Action Alert Com
munications Network in
order that blacks may be
able to communicate direct
ly with one another when
there is a need for concerted
action. The network is be
ing established in about 110
Congressional districts
where blacks are 15 percent
or more of the population.
National organizations are
urged to designate a coor
dinator for their members
in each congressional
district and to break down
their membership lists by
congressional district. Par
ticipating organizations are
also invited to make their
lists available to the Con
gressional Black Caucus,
which will coordinate the
network.
Included with the plan is
an enlistment card for Ac
tion Alert Volunteers in
viting individual black
citizens to join the network.
Black Churches Involved
The National Congress of
Black Churches, a volun
tary associatoin of
representatives of seven
historically black
demoninations (African
Methodist Episcopal,
African Methodist
Episcopal Zion, Christian
Methodist Episcopal,
Church of God in Christ,
National Baptist Conven
tion U.S.A., Inc., and the
Progressive National Bap
tist Convention) played a
significant role in the
development of the plan.
THEOLD
BODIE PLANTATION
IS SENDING
MORE AND MORE
PEOPLE INTO
DIFFERENT FIELDS.
In 1864, the Bodie Plantation
was sending blacks into the cot
ton fields. Today, as the site of
a United Negro College Fund
member school, it’s sending
blacks into different fields-like
business, medicine, the arts.
By giving to UNCp you help
41 private, predominately black
colleges and universities. And
thousands of students who will
be able to provide essential
services when you need them.
