Community Affairs What Happened To Rights Movement? communication consultant, vi vidly provided us with new insight into these frequently recurring questions. A social I activist in his own right from Houston, Texas, Mr. Marshall explained how the NBMC is currently engaged in the struggle for black media ac cess. The Coalition is the nation’s largest minority media re form organization, serving as the umjarella for black citizens organizations throughout the U.S. Boasting 7# affiliates, the Las Amigas To Sponsor Harvest Ball Saturday The Mecklenburg Chapter of Las Amigas, Inc. will spon sor its annual Harvest Ball on Saturday, November 20, at 9 p.m. at the Charlotte Civic Center.

Las Amigas is a national civic and social club whose purposes are to increase cul ture for its members and others through activities spon sored by the club, to provide guidance for constructive work in educational and civic, activities and to provide plan ned social functions for mem bers and friends. Coalition has generated 500 licenses-renewed challenge* to broadcasting station* whose programming and hir ing practices exhibited racism and are unresponsive to th* needs and aspirations of the total community. This start ling figure represents 80 per cent of all licenses ever chal lenged in the history of the Federal Communications Commission. In addition, NBMC’s affili ates have negotiated many agreements with local sta tions, pressing for the upgrad ing of blacks in managerial and technicar positions, along with enriching programming and increasing meaningful community involvement. Making the communications industry more aware of its social responsibility in the area of equal opportunity is an enormous job in itself. For example, of Public Broadcast ing’s 266 TV and 173 radio stations, less than half are required to report minority hiring data to the FCC. Fortunately, with the prod ding of the NBMC, an Inter Agency Task Force will be set up by the House of Represen tatives Sub-Committee on Communication to deal with equal employment opportu nity performance records of Public Broadcasting. The Coa lition is also pressing to insure that the public interest is not ignored in the forthcoming rewriting of the Federal Com munications Act of 1934. The existence and activities of the Coalition provides us with further evidence that the Civil Rights Movement is far from dead. Of course, there are those among us who feel that unless you have rioting, demonstrations and confron tations in the streets, you no longer have a Movement. It is refreshing and heart warming to see the emergence of groups like the NBMC who recognize that the fight a gainst racism. MR. AND MRS.
