Food is being taken from the mouths of hungry
children thanks to an unexpected rise in food prices
and budget shortcomings on the federal level.
Women, Infants and Children (W1C), an organiza
tion designed to provide basic food for children and
pregnant women who can't afford to buy it themselves, ?
will be trimming the list of
people to whom it provides
service by 406 people in
Forsyth County because
federal money allotted to
Jhc program is running out.
A woman who may be
cut from the W1C program
pending her grand-daugh
ter's blood test results said*
"I don't know what I will
do (if 1 am cut). Ill do the
best I can. Without the
WIC program, I will not be
able to get milk, eggs,
cheese.... I will definitely ,
mnout. My children really need this."
Another woman who receives milk ?nd cereal
WIC found out that her iwo sons are being cut
Urotn the program. She is five months pregnant and is
worried about the health of her unborn baby because
of not getting milk. She said, "My main concern is for
my baby^ateor L don 't know if my baby will be all
right"
The women asked not to be identified.
-^They'41 tell you they did not cut the funding*
They just had funding at too low a cost for groceries,"
said Crisis Control Director Virginia Britt. They are
realizing that they do not have enough funds to contin
ue providing service to everyone they currently help,
so they will be cutting back for the remainder of the
year to balance their budget, she explained.
"They will be taking children off from 2 to 5
years old to balance the budget They say they will

By RUDY ANDERSON
Chronicle Managing Editor
Afro- American children, boys in particular, are in the
throes of a major conspiracy to stifle their academic growth
and development. And. some Afro-American teachers are
contributing to the process.
That was part of the message delivered by one of the
foremost authorities on racism's impact on the education of
Afro- American children. Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu.
Kunjufu, who has studied the drop in Afro-American
achievement in school, has authored several books on the
subject including, "Countering the Conspiracy i& Destroy
Black Boys", "Lessons From History: A Celebration in Black
ness", and "A Talk with Jawanza: Critical Issues in Educating
African American Youth." He is the president of a Chicago

Mandela could see
racism during visit
By KILEY ARMSTRONG
Anocilad Pre? Writer
NEW YORK - When South
African anti -apartheid champion
Nelson Mandela visits the Land
of the Free, he might catch a
glimpse of America's own racial
inequities.
"Even Africans from the black
dominated countries tend to be
surprised at the level of prejudice
and racism that still exists" in the
United States, said Linda
Williams, a research fellow in
race issues at Harvard Universi
ty's Kennedy School of Govern
meni.
Mandela, who'll be in New
York from Wednesday through
Friday, will "come away with a
rather mixed feeling," predicted

Kunjufu lectured Tuesday, June 19. at Winston-Salem
State University as part of institution's Project Teach summer
seminar. This is a program for high school minority students
in the teaching profession. The program involves 30 students
from six school systems across the state.
Kunjufu told the gathering of more than a hundred edu- ?
cators, students, political leaders, children and their parents
that school systems across the country have been key contrib
utors toward perpetuating racial stereotypes along with the
aid of television, newspapers, and other forms of media. He
said it was time for Afro- Americans to once again assume the
major role in the education of their youths. He said the

New Bethel Apartments may be renovated yet,
despite recent financing worries.
Although the-East-Winston Community Develop1
ment Corporation was not able to bid in the auction of
New Bethel Apartments, its six months of planning to
renovate the site may not go to waste.
The Winston-Salem Board of Aldermen refused a
request by the CDC for $75,000 tobe used in the acqui
sition of the New Bethel Apartments. Each bidder at
the auction of the property was required to have a check
in hand for ten percent of the selling price, which
amounted to a little more than $734,200, the minimum
sale price set by the department of housing and urban
development.
