in 1972, was the first agency in
North Carolina and is now a division
of United Family Services and is .
funded by United Way.
The Big Brother-Big Sisters
Agency is spear-heading a Minority
Recruitment Project that will run
the first two weeks in October.
The two main parts of this pro
ject are: I) a media blitz and 2)
recruitment in major black church
es in Charlotte on Sunday,
October 12.
A task force made up of black v
media and business professionals
has worked extensively to plan these
two weeks of minority recruitment.
At the end of August, 7* black
boys, ages 7 to 15, were waiting for a
big brother - some have been
waiting two years. At the same time,
There were only two black men in
screening possibly to become Big
^Brothers to two of these lucky boys.
* How does this compare with the
■need for white Big Brothers? There
are 34 white boys waiting for a big
.■brother.

Committee, issued a Joint statement,
recently in response to recent
remarks by the prime minister of
Japan concerning blacks and
Hispanics:
“It is regrettable that the
prime minister of Japan made such
insensitive remarks about the in
telligence of blacks and Hispanics in
this country.
“Although he apologised, it does
not lessen the damage done by his
comments. It does show that the
, —
prime minister is uninformed and
unenlightened about the intellectual
accomplishments and contributions
•>f blacks and His panics in the
development of America.
“Let the record show that we
object to insensitive, callous
remarks made by anyone -
particularly world leaders - who,
apparently, have not taken time to
become educated on the role and
contributions of blacks and Hispan
ivs to the historical development of
>ur great nation
"We further offer to provide
information for his edification and
enlightenment. The prime minister
typifies a certain kind of thinking
that Is dangerous to the accom
plishment of true racial harmony,
unity and brotherhood in the world
S'iciety.
"It is hoped that the world will
ignore his comments and recognize
'hat the prime minister stands
corrected.”
