First Mt. Zion Honors Rev. Lowry By Gardenia Dalton Post Staff Writer In a very solemn, impres sive and nostalgic service, the Rev. F.G. Lowry was honored Sunday, March 20 during two events. Rev.

Black communities. But I do believe that if our problems, be they in economics, politics, education or housing are going to have to solve them. We •hould not realistically expect other people to solve our pro blems We must also fully realize that R 4 R (Rapping and Rhetoric) will not solve our problems. The general community should be called upon for assistance in develop ing managerial talent and access to capital and mar kets; but the primary leader ship motivation, and initiative should be our own. A short one hundred and twelve (112) years have pass ed since the shackles of sla very were removed. Since that time we have seen move I ments, reorganizations, new programs and some progress, but the real order of things have not changed significant ly. Let us be mindful and cognizant of the fact that all movements, reorganizations and new programs do not necessarily represent mean ingful progress, for we still find ourselves bound by econo mic slavery in 1977. So often I ask myself just as the slaves did as they were bearing the oppressions, bur dens, cruelties and experienc ing the long and terrible night mares of the slave system, "How long Oh God, how long’ How long before we as a people realize and heed the words of our Moses?” Just as in Biblical days we have had a Moses in nearly every genera tion. Remember the thunde ous words of Frederick. Dou glas in 1857 when he stated that "Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and never will. Find out just what people will submit to and aeag^g1 you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong w'hich will be imposed upon them And these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both.” How proud we must be of the untiring efforts and struggles of Booker T Wash ington in establishing Tuske gee Institute and trying to convince his people to learn a skill or trade for self sufficien cy. Have we forgotten the inspiring life and chemical genius of Dr. George Washing ton Carver; the legacy left by the great Dr. Mary McCloud Bethune; the foresight of Mar cus Garvey pleading with Black Americans to support the development of the Afri can continent in the 1920's? How can we ever forget the eloquent words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as he spoke of his “Dream" of a new America, and the courage he demonstrated throughout the South as he pleaded with ^^ygogU^<^strai|htei^ their backs'.’ We have a Moses today in nearly every field of human endeavor. But the sad thing about it is that we never seem to recognize the “Moseses" until their death. Then we jump on the bandwagon, and honor them by naming schools and streets after them, cele brating their birthdays; con vening special memorial pro grams to honor them and awarding plaques and scho larships in their names. In short, we desecrate their life's work by such qmpty and meaningless gestures. Yet while they lived, usually they were harassed, abused, criti cized and isolated. If what they did or said makes sense after their death, why didn't it make sense before their death? "How long ohGod. how long?" By now. one must realize that it is rather difficult to separate economic develop ment in the Black community from the religious, political, educational and social activi ties of the community Our problems, are so interrelated that to only tackle one to the excutsion of the others, results in very little measurable pro gress A total and comprehen sive approach is needed for real and meaningful progress Therefore, in evaluating mi nority economic development, we also have to assess the impact of the other problems on it. In spite of inflation and the energy crisis, 1976 for minori ty business enterprise was no better or worse than 1975, and barring some rather unfor seen radical changes, 1977 will be no different. A greater support, sacrifices and differ ent attitudes toward minority business enterprises by the total Black community is needed. From the corporate and general business commu nity a greater willingness to assist in managerial talent development^cces^c^api tal and markets and a more meaningful commitment to the development of minority business enterprise is desira ble. Just as fair, honest and just laws must be observed for a progressive, orderly and de mocratic society, so must the laws of business and capita lism be observed by the mino rity business persons in their struggle to develop successful business enterprises I believe that the free enterprise sys tem is the best economic system in the world, but Blacks have to become active participants as owners, mana gers and producers within the system rather than just con sumers.
