Q • What would you say is the
challenge of the Black profes
sional?
A • The Black professional is
at a great disadvantage in this
(American) labor market. I
think Black professionals must
Cl5/»'vCaV'XTlC

CO/kWaVTlili
learn to identify with Black
workers. Blacks make up 30
percent of the lalx)r force.
Proper organization and man
agement of Black resources is
the key to economic strength
and progress.
Q ■ What is your opinion of
the need for reforming or
replacing the present educa
tion standards to meet the
needs of Black people.
A - Education of Blacks is. of
course, a major issue, but
there is no way to separate
educational from the Iota!
system of American corrup
tion. Black must organize their
own institutions in order to
control their own minds and
futures.
Q - What have been your
experiences in foreign travel
(L’.S.S.R, and Cuba)?
A - On Russia - most people
think of the Soviet Union as
being an all while nation. Few
people realize that there are
some fourteen other republics
besides Russia within the
Union, many of them greatlv
populated by people of color,*
On Cuba -1 found the remors
of racism in Cuba t be complete

instiiutions for racism.

said that the poverty level in
Wake County had been reduced
from 39.*t to 22.7 in 1970 in Wake
County. A lot has also been
done at the state level. This
summer, the City of Raleigh
will sponsor a program
employing 875 youths from a
$344,700 fund. This is the
largest amount which any
other N.C. city x^ill receive.
Other matters mentioned for
support and interest were the
location of the museum in the
downtown complex and the
report concerning the redis
tricting of the election of
county school board members
that will enable Raleigh
citizens to vole for the
members, but will no longer
elect a member from Raleigh.
Vernon Malone. Raleigh
School Board member, was
appointed new chairman of the
Education Committee. New
members will be added and the
committee is expected to
report at the next meeting.
There was a lively discussion
held regarding the detention of
some Black junior high school
students who were arrested
and detained at Wake County
Juvenile Home for four days
without the pirvilege of being
released to their parents.
.Although there was no
intention to excuse the miscon
duct of the students involved,
questions were raised that only
blacks were arrested. Concern
for uniformity of action in such
matters was expressed and
should be transferred to the
school hoard and police
department. Facts in the case
will be investigated and

hiring policy of the Register of

meeting.
Mrs. Young set the tone of
the meeting x^hen she told the
audience that eternal vigilence
was the price of freedom. Even
though she chose to call her
speech just plain talk " and
had it keyed to the youth, she
had many admonitions about
the freedom fight that struck at
the very core.
She began by urging black
people to stop going back into
ancient history and picking up
the trash and dirt that other
nations had long since discard
ed and attempt to use it to build
