Eversley from page A 7 test scores, black exclusion from "gateway" courses (such as alge bra). bad black student behavior (including undisciplined, unruly, uncaring or irresponsible black ? students or parents), and the per ception of the lawsuit as overly aggressive, hostile, confrontation^ al or unnecessary by otherwise sympathetic white power elites, ftere all raised. The lawsuit is only one of two short-term goals that follow five long-term goals. It's our long term goals which respond to poor black academic performance, low black standardized test scores and black exclusion from algebra and other vital courses. They will only bear fruit after having been implemented for some time, and we're just scratching the surface. People should nevfeyr forget it was the NAACP which first approached the School Board in the mid-1980s over black-white test score disparity, and that got watered down into Project RISE on general "underachievement." We believe in the NAACP that while there are things others must do for us, there are other things we must do for ourselves. Bad black student behavior and undisciplined,^ unruly, uncaring or irresponsible black students or parents must be addressed within the black community. That's why the parent, administrator, pastor and teacher sections of the cau cus are so very important. We have to stop pointing fin gers of blame and start offering hands to help< It's too easy and overly simplistic to state, "It all falls on parents in the home," when so many people have pro created children without a clue as to how to be a parent or how to create and maintain a strong home life. If ever there was a time for the whole village to raise children, it's now. When we read "Death at an Early Age" or "The Way It "Spozed to Be" or "Savage Inequalities" by Jonathon Kozol or "Blaming the Victim" by William Ryan or anything by Dr. Jawanza Kunjufu, we remind ourselves that we are not dealing with minority at-risk students. Often we're dealing with our poorest, most exploited and oppressed children and adults. This doesn't condone bad behav ior or irresponsibility; it analyzes how human beings get damaged by life, and all too often, by school. The NAACP Education Cau cus is a black church-based com prehensive effort to organize the entire bl^ck community around matters of public education. We 'can't waste time worrying about how our work is viewed by white power elites. We don't need white people "sympathetic" to us. We need white,, brown, yellow and red people who are empathetic with the pain and oppression of poor people in general and-black people in particular. - I'll write more later. ? ^H t #T I 1 H' Ask tough questions.

You don't have to worry about the stress of driving. You don't have to worry-about finding trans portation from the airport or train sta tion. You can just sit back and enjoy. I'began planning trips about five years ago. In 1988 I completed the course at Lucas Travel school and worked for a short time as a travel agent. I decided to purchase a bus so that I would always have clean dependable transportation for the trips that I had planned and he able to offer the same to others. It has been quite a challenging experience. There was a lot that 1 had to learn about federal and state regula tions and the business in general. When I first started I knew nothing about operating a charter service. My bus is not new. but it is in very good mechanical condition. It has newly upholstered seats, an entertain ment center with Am-f m radio, cas sette player, ten cd changer, video and four monitors. I have been blessed with good drivers with many years of expe rience. I hope to build a reputation for dependable on time service. My prices are very reasonable. Larger companies have lowered their prices to match mine to kdcp me from getting some business. I thank the Lord for the support of my family, and my pastor. Rev. Charles Gray, and my church family, and other I friends in the community. It is very ' encouraging to know that there are a lot of people that wish me well and are j willing to help me. ' Not only do I furnish transporta tion. but I can alto help in the planning < .l. Ul II1C II ip, such as guid ed tours, hotel accom modations, and recre ational activi ties. 1 wel come senior citizens, churches, family reunions, schools and clubs I h'n.'p cpvpfuI ing the year. I have a Christmas shop ping event planned for the first week end in December to three outlet malls L Vanity Fair Outlet Village, in Reading. PA. Franklin Mills Outlet in Philadel phia. PA and Potomac Mills Outlet in VA. At a cost of only one hundred fifty five dollars for transportation and two nights hotel accommodations In the year 2000 I will sponsor a trip to Charleston. SC. New Orleans LA. Ontario. Canada and Atlantic City. NJ I hope that my service will be a blessing to others that they may see a portion of God's beautiful world. So the next time you go.
