Conrad 1 Vice Pre Jim Conrad, proprietor of a local hair and beauty $alon, is believed to be the first black named as vice president of the local affiliate of the National Hairdressers and Cosmetology Association (NHCA). - jim was named because he seems to be a worker," says Cherri Miller, owner of^ Salon des Salon and president of the local affiliate. "Everytime we've called on him in the past, he's gotten the job done. As far as I know, he is the first black to be so named." The owner of Conrad's Hair Design in the Jetway Shopping Center, Conrad sees his appointment as a step in the right direction for the predominantly white association.

It Shouldn't Be J; factor) and could attract significant financial backing from unions and religious, disarmament and black groups. The crux of this ambitious strategy lies in the candidate's ability to divest himself from personal gain and the opportunism so inherent in American politics, and in ably representing a broad, multiracial, multiclass constituency on the liberal-left. 1 am convinced that Dellums could do this. Unfortunately, some Black Caucus members and other politicos have in recent days put forward another candidate who would be the centerpiece of the strategy outlined above: the country preacher himself, Jesse Jackson. Jackson has been a familiar political figure within Black America for more than 15 years. His showboat posturing, his embellished rhetoric, his monumental egotism, are to an extent akin to a mimickry of the late Adam Clavton Powell of Harlem. Unlike the restless refugee of Bimini, however, Jackson's chief constituency is his own organization, Operation PUSH. ^ He has never been elected to public office. Jackson's defenders claim that he is the best-known black political figure in America. Name recognition is, of course, a valuable factor, but insufficient in itself to validate a person's political credentials. Everyone still knows who Jesse James was, but 1 sincerely doubt that this 19th-century rogue was a suitable candidate for high office! Jackson has played a very ambiguous role in the Movement. In 1972, he delivered a keynote address at the _ Bkck^Political Convention held in Gary . Tnd., yet subsequently disavowed any independent challenge to white Democrats in that year's presidential race. During the Miami , Rebellion of 1980, he flew dramatically into Liberty City in an effort to cool off young militants. At the Democratic National Convention held in New York City in 1980, he served as a "front man" for Carter, endeavoring to water down Kennedy Afresl tha It not It ever ISIif 7 mg.

Yet, only weeks later, Jackson applauded Reagan's speech before the National Urban League, and claimed that "the black vote is the wild card in this election. The black community has the responsibility and obigation to listen to what both parties and all candidates have to say.*' The chief weakness of a potential Jackson campaign, however, is in the candidate's inability to awaken the support of progressives outside of the black community. Jackson's PUSH has no meaningful contacts within the women's movement, and Jackson's own ego has earned him many enemies within the civil rights leadership. Black nationalists and most leftists view Jackson with undi?0llic*H r<Anoc a kwitkvuipi tu a pvuvivai uppui I UI1151 ( B I chameleon whose colors change with the issues. There is a | real danger that Jackson, the candidate, would capitulate to Mondale (or even Glenn) at the convention, after a I deal had been cut behind the scenes, leaving blacks and progressives out in the proverbial cold. The strategy to realign American politics in 1984 must begin with a candidate who can be trusted to represent I our interests. As far as I'm concerned, Jesse Jackson disqualified himself a decade ago. Jackson is not a black leader ? he is a celebrity. And the seriousness of the political crisis which is before us demands that any independent campaign start with a level of unquestioned integrity.
