THE CAROUMIAK RALEIOH.N. C-. SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13 38? 2 E. CARSON (coutvmvm pack » leigtiJtes and visiting friends.. I would like to take this time to thank j-ou for Inviting ire back. Office again, to speak to you. “This evening the subject is about something that is very dear to my heart. S is some thing that most Raleighites have either taken it as being O. K., or forgetting that it even ex ists. I am talking about the pub lic education in the black com munity. “Most Blacks, and more es pecially the young blacks (less than 40 years of age), are simply becoming fed up v.ith the Raleigh School Board and Administra tion in everyway. They will not, in the future, continue to tole rate the discriminatory actions performed by that body. This is due, in part, to the fact that the Raleigh School Board and Administration have grown in range of authority. Therefore, exercising its authority at will, disregarding its responsibility to all the people of the com munity. “In the past few years, all of our lives have changed consid erably. Our lives seem to be more impersonal, more frus trating. more complex and more oppressing. This is even more so in Raleigh’s Black Communi ty. And the Raleigh School Board and Administration have contri buted greatly toward the con tinuing existence of these un desirable in the Black Com munity. “As to how the Raleigh School Board and Administration have toyed with the racial harmony of the Raleigh community, I shall cite you a few of the bios* recent actions by that body. Firstly, let us focus our at tention on the “overcrowd” classroom situation. It is pre sent by designed. How? Ij’WJth the exception of Fuller Elemen tary School, an overcrowded school means a previously all white in the Raleigh Public School System. 2) An under capacity school means a Black School, or a school rapidly going Black; such as, Murphy and Boylan Heights Elementary Schools. 3) An overcrowded school in Soutneast Kaleigh (ex cept Fuller) is a net-resuH of emptving classrooms in al ready constructed Black Schools. “Secondly, let us look at the so-called “integration” in the Raleigh Public Schools. Inte gration in the Raleigh Public schools is, for all practical purpose, “Black Integration.” Why do 1 say that? 1) Out of an enrollment of 23,464 stu dents, the Raleigh School Board assigned nine white students to Black Schools for the cur rent school year. Os that nine, two whites attend Black Schools as special education student. 2) Out of a total of 2,003 stu dents attending schools in which their race is the minority, 2,001 are Blacks. 3) On the integrat ing of the staffs throughout the .city school system, the Black Schools were robbed of 200- pius years of teaching experi ence and the white schools ga ve up some 30 years of experience. Thirdly, a look at the cor rected - action in the iniiiai gerrymandering of the school population by the School Board and Administration that took place last year -will also show more injustice. To achieve an integration percentage of 11% for a more favorable position in court, two of those natural boundary lines were redrawn. The redrawing of those na tural-boundary lines, like so many other acts of manipula tion toy the school board and administration, was definite not in favor of the blacks nor the. taxpayers. 1) The redrawing of the natural-boundary lines resulted in some 300-plus stu dents being taken from the Black Schools involved; namely, Mary E. Phillip Elementary School and Thompson Elementary School. 2) The redrawing re sulted it. no -white students going to Black Schools. 3) The redrawing left the two Black Schools -with five empty class rooms and five less Black teachers. “And finally, let us turn the spotlight on the topic “school construction”, another injustic to the Black Community from the Raleigh School Board and Administration. 1 have been told that there are presently being planned for North and West Ra leigh a senior high school, a junior high school and no ele mentary school. This is unfair. 1) V/, H. Fuller rilementary School is the most overcrowd ed (100%) school in the Raleigh School District, but there is no unconditional relief plannee for it. 2) Black Community will have an elementary school con structed If, and only if, the NAACP looses Its case in court against the Raleigh City School. 3) If the Raleigh School Board looses Its court fight, over in tegration, It will be requir ed by law to bus into each Black School 74% of its enrollment from the white communities. Whereas, on the other hand, 26% of the Black students will be bused in to each wlilie school. “The evilness provoked by the court fight is simply this: The school board will noi build any schools in the Black com munities and will schedule the old structures to be demolish but not replace. This position will enable the school board to bus the maximum number of Blacks arid the minimum : - her of whites. “Therefore before another bond issue is put before the peo ple for school needs, the oiti ' zens of Raleigh should der, and actioiis and answers toward correcting the iniquities put in to the school system toy design ed and not of necessity. It is also believed that the Raleigh School Board and Administra tion would have used the rr.om resulting from the Jan. 26. “School Bond Election“ to fu: - trier achieve the goal of the pow er structure. That goal is one of neglect and confinement of the Black citizens of Raleigt. “YVe, in southeast F.aleig!, believe that t e obligation i society to the individual should be, and it must be, to offer ev - ery child an equal chance to acquire by his own effort an education. Due to the lack of society in providing sue'-, an op portunity in the Black Com munity, there is growing frus tration in the Black Communi ty and growing separatism in the white community. Tne ac tions of the school tear., and administration have nourish ed the roots of these unde* ft'- ables in a community where racial harmony is the utr -si desire of most of its people. These actions, by the school board or another agency or group must be stoj sometimes with the added cost of a small and immediate sacrifice by a few- of us, in order, that peace and harmony may be enjoyed by all of us in a future Ra leigh. “I have concluded that A’ no vote for the school bond is a yes vote for future :aCJai harmony “I sincerely than you.” WILvUNGTOX (COOTIKCED raOM P4G£ 1} Shaw, a white Wilmington po liceman. The bullet from Shav ’s riot gun struck Mitchell in the neck. Meanwhile, Ben Chavis, Co ordinator for Community Pro grams for the N. C.-Virginia Committee for Racial Justice called jn black pupils across the state to attend tie funeral services for Mitchell Thursday after' oon. Chavis said he was not attempting to turn the fun eral into a demonstration. Funeral services for Mitcn-f'il will be held Thursday afternoon at 1 o’clock at Gregor. C >n gregational Church. Ret. L.- gene Templeton, pastor oft ; church and Rev. Leon Write, Executive Director of the N. C.-Virginia Committee for Ra cial Justice will officiate at the services. The second killing took place Sunday when a white man, Har vey Edward Cumber, 67. was shot to death near Hie cl urc! . Several other injuries have beet reported, and several fires t • " been started since the city broke out into violence the latter part of last week. Black students, led by Cna vis, marched on City. Hall Fri day afternoon when they heard that a request for a curlew rad been turned down. “We want action! We warn action!” they chanted as a few curious city workers peered from the windows of the white columned building. Mayor Cromartie was not there but he said later mat night a curfew at that time would be inconvenient, expensive and “might bring on more problems than it solves.” The boycott at the two higi schools dwindled toy last week end, tout began building again after Chavis came to Wilming ton on Monday. The young or ganizer from Oxford had been in Elizabethtown, in Bladen Coun ty, setting up a protest against a disputed desegregation plan. He said he was contacted by black ’ students here. (During the Bladen disorders, a bom; was found at a school involved in the desegregation pL ;..) “I came down here t mo bilize the black community be hind the students,”Chavis said, Students, according to black biology teacher Florence John son. were “frustrated” because they felt whites were getting a “better break” from the admin istration at New Hanover High School. Responding to charges of “racism” directed at New Han over Principal John Scott, one school board member said this weekend, “1 think he is as even handed as he can be,..tie is good, capable administrator, ’ The same school board mem ber said no new black coaches could be hired “because there are no vacnaciesnov ..we’o : ave to fire someone first and we’re not going to do that.” One of .the original plans of the boycotters was to set us a;, alternative school at Gregory C ongregat icmal. Rev. Eugene Templeton, the young white pastor of the church, had made arrangements for black cultural material to be on hand and regular courses were to tie taught. By midweek, though, the stu dents, dissatisfied with school board responses to theii de mands began taking to the streets, A crowd of several hundred students marched to the school board offices lasi v> ednesday demanding to see School Su perintendent Heyward Bellamy. He did not appear. Wilmington attorney George Clark, a former state represen tative and school board member noted Sunday: II 'Yf vi! i v.sid-vr t « .ivs grievanees are being pushed by a mßy golly, if some in dividuals want Jo be -eard.Jhen we’ll hear their cases on re at 7; 30 pjs.
