u
Are you one of those who is always
asking, "Where is the political repre
sentation for our community?" Are
you tiring of too little action and too
much rhetoric? Would you like to see
things turned around? t
If you answered yes to those ques
tions, then heed the advice of the
National Coalition of Black Voter
Participation when they urge us to
become involved by locating the voter
participation campaign in our town
and offering our services. My friends,
we have arrived at the time when we
must become more sophisticated in
our selection of political candidates.
They all promise us a chicken in ev
ery pot, but the pages of history show
that too many of them mean a chick
en for those who have and unfulfilled
dreams for those who have nothing
except nope.
Thus, it requires our recognizing
that the selection is more than Demo
crat or Republican, or Carter versus
Reagan. We must listen to and evalu
ate those political leaders who project
sincere plans that are designed to
give us lasting dignity and self
respect via equality of justice and
an opportunity to attain preparation
for today's jobs so that we receive
paychecks rather than handouts. To
achieve this goal, we must not let
political parties think that we are
their robots.
So, register....think....and
then vote.

Judicial System Is Cracking Down On Racial Barriers
By Susan Ellsworth
Post Staff Writer
A possible racist attempt
to bar Judge Richard
Erwin from higher office
was thwarted recently
when Rep. Jesse Helms
withdrew his opposition to
the black candidate.
The Senate Judiciary
Committee has confirmed
Erwin's nomination as a
Federal District Court
Judge. Now he must go
before the full senate for
approval.
Erwin was the first Black
elected to statewide office
in North Carolina. He has
served on the Court of
Appeals and the State
Boarà of Education. ·.·.·
Our judicial system "is
cracking down" on rtocial
barriers and offer infmore
encouragement to Blacks^' '
according to Hoyle Martin,
a city official.
Mdrtin credited political
pressure for Sen., Helms.'
» .* ·/
decision not to resist Er
win's approval.
Robert Davis, principal
of the Street Academy,
maintained Helms was at
. tempting to hold out until
- after the presidential elec
tion. He was hoping Rea
-gan would secure office
and select another candi
date, Davis said.
Republican party pres
sure forced Helms to go
along, Davis said, since his
negative attitude toward a
popular candidate threat
ened the chance of other
Republicans seeking office
in N.C.
Former county com
missioner Bob Walton
praised Sen. Kennedy for
not allowing one senator to
block approval of a can
didate who was otherwise
well-favored by the com
mittee.
Walton emphasized that
in a full senate vote, how
ever, Helms may still vote
against Erwin.
"Many older people are
not receptive to a. Black
judge," protested Kelly
Alexander Sr., a Charlotte
civil rights leader.
Walton expressed hope
that Erwin will not be the
last Black federal ap
pointee to the bench but
"will be a turning point of
Blacks being accepted in
Federal Court.
Less optimisti·, Davis
warned white America is
growing more conserva
tive.
"It will be a long time
before we see more Blacks
in high levels of govern
ment*" he added.
"Many whites feel that
Blacks had their chances in
the 60s,'' Davis continued.
"Now business will con
tinue as usual."
Blacks suffered a set
back during the Nixon Ad
ministration, bared on pre
sidential attitude, Alexan
der said. He affirmed
President Carter was the
first president to appoint
Black judges.
"Blacks can lose if they
don't vote," Alexander
added.
