Jobless Figures
Mislead, Says
Rep. Hawkins
BY CHESTER A. HIGGINS, SR.
NNPA News Editor
WASHINGTON, D.C.-The U S.
Department of Labor’s rosy
unemployment report for the month
of April, detailing a 1.1 percent drop
to 5.4 percent, the lowest level in 14
years, is misleading as reported in
the media in that it does not represent
the true widespread unemployment
in the black communities across the
country, Rep. Augustus F. Hawkins
(D-Calif.) observed.
By placing emphasis on the macro
(See JOBLESS, P. 2)
The Mitchell brothers were con
victed in November 1987 of attemp
ting to obstruct a Congressional in
vestigation of the Wedtech Corpora
tion of the Bronx.
They were sentenced to 2 >6 years
each by the Maryland U.S. District
Court. Clarence Mitchell began serv
ing his sentence on April 19 and
Michael will begin on May 19.
“This is an attempt by the Reagan
administration to silence strong
black voices from New York to
Georgia, from Chicago to
California,” Ms. Mitchell declared.
“The Reagan administration has a
policy of targeting strong black
elected officials without probable
cause, for long investigations and
prosecution and conviction,” she
said.
"This is a repeat of the post
Reconstruction period, from 1880 to
1890, when all the black elected of
ficials were driven out of public of
fice—every one of them.”
She maintained that, “The only
reason my sons were tried on these
false charges was because they at
tacked the Reagan administration’s
appointees to the federal bench and to
the Supreme Court.”

Salutes Community Role Models
From CAROLINIAN Staff Reports
The “Bring Out Your Best” Awards

Black Students Under Attack In
Particularly Vicious Race War
BY M. CARL HOLMAN
President, National Urban League
An Analysis
Our black children all over this'
country are under attack in a par
ticularly vicious race war. Caught up
in an ugly, mean-spirited struggle in
high schools, colleges and univer
sities, neighborhoods where it is now
taken for granted that their white
peers can with impunity insult them,
r
hurl epithets, stones, construct crude
effigies.
If black students actually do well in
school, they are told directly and by
innuendo that they have not really
earned the grades they get. Faculty
members, including cowards in some
of the most prestigious colleges in the
land—take advantage of one of the
worst eras of racial feeling in
American history to add their gibes

laced with subtle or often not-so
subtle disparagement.
Occasionally, when black, Hispanic
and other minority students take over
a building or stage a campus protest,
a college administrator here and
there admits that there does indeed
seem to be a problem meriting
perhaps the appointment of a com
mittee or the commissioning of a
study.
But, you see, I really don’t care
about them. I feel the gall rising in
my throat when I hear about young
people—at the very time when their
personalities and self-image are most
fragile—disappearing into
themselves. Or deciding to tough it
out and behave as though they really
do not see, hear, feel what is being
done to them. Done daily. Done
deliberately and maliciously, with in
tent to hurt and destroy.
I see young blacks electing to opt
out of predominantly white schools
and enroll in some of the good black
colleges where they will not have to
run a daily gauntlet and can escape
the contemporary American South
African experience.
And I ask myself one question:
What is wrong with US? What is
wrong with black parents, black
grownups who had, I thought, learned

in their respective communities. Ms.
Jones was cited for her untiring work
in transporting senior citizens and
helping them with their affairs when
needed. She is also a volunteer driver

DECEPTIVE BUSINESSES
“I’m surprised they didn’t know
enough to stay out of North
Carolina,” Attorney General Lacy H.
Thornburg said about Regional Supp
ly Co., a California firm that was
placed under a temporary restrain
ing order at Thornburg’s request in a
consumer protection lawsuit filed in
Wake County Superior Court. The suit
accuses the Marina Del Rey firm of
misrepresentation in telephone sales
to businesses in North Carolina which
were led to believe they were dealing
with their usual supplier of office
copy machine toner; shipping and
billing for more toner than was
ordered; and at times billing for
orders that were never made.
