and redefine Afiican history and culture. He
first embraced political and social activisin as a
teenager. The Marine Corps sentenced him to
10 years in jail for speaking gainst blacks
fighting in Vietnam.
“I vowed while incarcerated to do every
thing I can in any way I can to leave my com
munity more beautiful and beneficial than
when I inherited it. After 29 months in jail I
received an honorable discharge,” says
Daniels.
‘T was 18 years old whai I took that stand
and have been fighting the good fight 40 years
later.”
The next step is to see what eanei^es fiom the
GPARRC conference when it ends August 1st,
2006. Daniels expects there wili continue to be
law suits brought against, corporations whose
predecessor institutions benefited fix)m the
enslavement of Afidcan people.

Welfare reform handicaps poor
Continued from page 1A
Hill. ‘We’re very concerned about it.”
Adams’ counterparts in Washington state
and Nevada agreed that the federal govern
ment does not give states enou^ money to
cover their child care needs, a problem that will
be exacerbated when tougher new welfare
laws take effect in October.
Don Wmstead, deputy secretary of Florida’s
Department of Children and Families, dissent
ed, sayir^ his state has adequate funding for
childcare.
“That having been said,” he added, “if anyone
would like to provide us more child care fimd-
ing by the federal government I would not be
here to oppose that.”
The four officials came to Washington to give
federal officials and news reporters the state
government perspective on the ccsntroversial
1996 law that put a stop to more than 60 years
of guaranteed cash assistance to low-income
sin^e parents. In exchai^ for benefits, the
law required adult recipients to work outside
the home—or participate in employment-rdat-
ed activities—and gave states greater discre
tion over their own welfare programs.
