could argue that ministers hold a special position of
authority in bur community, which is true. If that was the
reporting, journalistic and editorial philosophy of this article,
a polling of a much wider sampling of "local Baptist
ministers" is certainly called for to give the article any
semblance of journalistic respectability. As a "local Baptist
minister," 1 and literally dozens of other men and
women could feel legitimate resentment of the exclusion
of our opinion in an article allegedly dealing with our
political position.
It could be further argued, erroneously and negatively
in my opinion, that the tenure, standing and respect of
the three ministers cited gives them the right to speak for
"local Baptist ministers" as a whole. This is not
something these men claimed for themselves. It belies the
i?!- .l- ? ...
internal tugic oi me article, vis-a-vis my second critcism,
which is a position they are artificially forced into by the
Chronicle article.
Dr. Hay would be the first to say there are no "big"
preachers or "small" preachers in the universal church of
Jesus Christ. If this were the erroneous and negative
philosophy of the article, then I have no problem being
personally excluded, but certainly men like J.D. Ballard,

In closing, we should continually remind ourselves that
Dr. Martin Luther King called for a close, trusting, accountable,
working relationship between the black press,
black churches, black businesses, black organizations
and the black community. We all need to read King's

(published in 1967) and try to catch up with where Prophet
Martin was-17 years ^go.

goes past the obvious, the superficial.
He's looking for the truth. ^
Tbny Brown exposes issues with a piercing
insight that asks not just Who and
What, but Why. No candy-coated journalism

the truth. All of it.
That's what has earned Tbny Brown
the respect and praise of some

Tbny Brown dares to ask the questions
no one else will ask. Like when he investigated
the social phenomenon of BlackOn-Black
crime, in "Crisis: Blacks Killing
Each Other!' Or when he posed the
question, "'Black Revolt in the 80's: is it
coming?"
f ~ . *
Tbugh questions, sure. But to Tbny
Brown, that's what journalism is all ,
about. And as PBS brings Tbny Brown's . f
Journal into its 14th year of hard-hitting
reporting, Tbny Brown continues to
demand answers that are straight,
honest, and complete. So
while many around hifn are content to
present Black issues by just reporting,
Tbny Brown insists on understanding. Because
to Tbny Brown, the truth ;
is more than Black and White. 1 Vpspsij
