Page A4 Thursday. September 9. 1993 Winston-Salem Chronicle Community To Curb Violence Here, Teens Will Use Strategies from March on Washington nAvm T rtn t adts i By DAVID L. DILLARD Chronicle Staff Writer Youths who attended the 30th Anniversary March on Washington celebration said King's dream can become reality and believe his non violent principles would offset vio lence among Winston-Salem youths. Tamarian McIntyre a junior at Mt. Tabor High School, and Lakeshia Cobb, a freshman at West Forsyth, were among 10 youths statewide selected to participate in the remembrance of slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. McIntyre, said she felt it was important for them to attend the cel ebration because the dream needs to be passed down to today's youth. "It was a new experience for me," she said. "King was a part of my parents when he was alive, and (the celebration) keeps him a part of us." Cobb, 14 — one of the youngest student leaders at the cele bration — said the experience helped her acquire a deeper under standing of King's philosophy. "He's a part of my life now," Cobb said. "I've always read about him, but I learned more (at the march)." Both youths were impressed with the non-violent demonstration and wanted to form a similar orga nization in Winston-Salem. Bessie Singletary, a consultant with KPCH Inc., a corporation formed from residents of the four public-housing communities, said they would start a local group to handle problems in a non-violent manner. "Their attitudes changed," she said. "It was a spiritual movement." Singletary said most of the 800 kids in attendance were from pub lic-housing communities across the country. McIntyre lives in Kimberly Park, and Cobb lives in Cleveland Avenue Homes. "This trip made a statement that Pcventing with Confidence!

Singletary said a local youth committee will be formed employ ing conflict resolution and non-vio lent push for change. "They wanted to come back here and do some of the things they saw," she said. Local Student Leams Politics — Capital Hill Style By DAVID L. DILLARD Chronicle Staff Writer The perception of congressmen as "fat cats in Washington doing nothing" is not an accurate one. At least, according to Charlita Cardwell, who worked as an intern for 5th District Congressman Steve Neal this summer. Cardwell, a junior economics major at Wake Forest University, was impressed by Neal's efforts to serve all the people he represents. "He's committed to all of his constituents," she said. "It's amazing how he has loyalty to Democrats and Republicans — even those who didn't vote for him." Cardwell, 19, who has a twin sister, Charbeda, has always had an interest in politics because she grew up around it. Her mother, Joan Cardwell, recently became chairwoman of the Forsyth County board of elections, and her father, Charles Cardwell, worked with County Commissioner Mazie Woodruff. Cardwell's experience as an intern on Capitol Hill enabled her to do research, talk with lobbyists as well as constituents, and attend con gressional hearings and sessions. "It was a chance to find out how government works," she said. "but there are too many political, moral and social ramifications to consider." Cardwell, who also serves on the local Urban League's board of directors, credits her parents for her achievements. "My accomplishments are a tes tament to my parents," she said. "They believe the best investment is in your children. My parents have worked tirelessly for us and now in many respects, they are reaping the benefits." RASHEED BEY for ALDERMAN "Strength through Unity in the Northeast Ward" When elected, I propose to: • Set up an office in the Northeast Ward for accessability. • Set up Senior Watch Committees to monitor activities of senior citizens for their safety and welfare. • Set up a one-year economic program through the Black United Fund as a self-help way for people to solve problems of drugs, crime and economic despair. I pledge to consult my constituency before any aldermanic decisions are made. Rasheed Bey: • Northeast Ward resident for 12 years; self employed businessman. • Married to Attorney Hazel Mack, two children. • Convener for Citizen’s Review Board. • Can You Hear the Cry Ministry. 722-1119 Always available to discuss your concerns. Paid for by the Afro-American Republican Committee April Smith, Treasurer Charlita Cardwell "I have gained a new respect for our representatives." After doing an internship for District Attorney Tom Keith last year, coupled with her previous internship, her aspirations are to become an international corporate lawyer. THE WAY OlHlIt "I've been around politics all my life, and politics and law go hand in hand,” she said. Cardwell's ambition changed with her internship, as she now seeks the legal end of politics instead of an elected position. "Before, I would have consid ered an elected position," she said.
