friend and former president of the

of Colored People.
“Bill is known for serving the
people and their needs,” Battle said.

eficiaries of that.”
Smith said he hopes to spur dis
cussion, not dominate it, which he
feels will be more interesting and
beneficial for those who attend.
“We want to have more con
versation than oration ... geared
toward questions relating to the
issues that are happening now.”
Although Jordan said the event
primarily is intended to prompt
live debate, the Stone Center also
will broadcast the discussion on its
Web site.
“We’re not offering our vision,”
Jordan said. “We’re asking people to
come and bring up conversation.”
The event is the first in a series,
intended to reflect on the civil
rights movement 0f1968 and 1969,
that is being offered by the Stone
Center.
Other events will include movie
screenings, discussions and read
ings about the cultural climate
during the 1960 sand 19705.

FROM THE
CAMPAIGN TRAIL
McCain, Obama
pause for Sept. 11
WASHINGTON, D.C. (MCT)
ln a departure from the
increasingly nasty environment
of the presidential campaign,
candidates Barack Obama and
John McCain will make a joint
appearance Thursday in New
York to honor the victims of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
It’s the kind of politics that
the public rarely gets.
The candidates plan to visit the
site of the World Trade Center,
which was destroyed in the ter
rorist attack seven years ago.
They also have agreed to suspend
television ads on Thursday.
The event will mark the first
time since each was nominated
that they have appeared together.
Pirates plunder
Somalian waters
(MCT) Wednesday was
another banner day for the
pirates who travel the lawless
waters off of Somalia.
Unidentified pirates hijacked
a South Korean cargo ship with
21 crew members in the Gulf of
Aden on Wednesday, according
to the International Maritime
Bureau. The Yonhap news agen
cy of South Korea said the crew
included eight South Koreans.
Also Wednesday, the mari
time bureau said pirates in
speedboats fired machine gun
rounds at a Greek vessel.
Wednesday’s attacks brought
the number of attacks on ships
off the coast of Somalia this year
to at least 49. The total for all of
2007 was 34.
As the situation in Somalia gets
worse, piracy is more lucrative
than ever. Andrew Mwangura,
a watchdog who works out of
Kenya, reports that Somali pirates
have demanded a $1.4 million
ransom for a French couple whose
yacht was hijacked on Sept. 3.

Cuban efforts at
Ike recovery begin
HAVANA (MCT) -
Hurricane Ike’s 41-hour journey
across Cuba may be over, but its
stay will be long remembered.
The storm left a destructive trail
stretching hundreds of miles.
On Tuesday night most of
Cuba remained without elec
tricity, at least four people were
dead, dilapidated buildings in
the colonial capital lay in ruins
and more than 1 million people
forced from their homes by the
storm began returning to see
what, if anything, remained.
Heavy rains caused at least
16 partial building collapses
in the capital, authorities said.
Four aging houses on a single
block crumbled into rubble.
And it may not be over: More
collapses are probable in the
coming days as weakened
buildings dry out.
As Ike headed off toward
the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday
afternoon, recovery efforts had
already begun where the storm
first struck Sunday night.
