Speaker for the occasion was Dr. Christopher Edley, president and chief executive officer for the United Negro College Fund. He was also awarded the honorary degree of doctor of humane letters. A number of graduates were students from the Ahoskie Shaw Center for Alternative Programs in Education. Shaw operates 10 such centers across the state in ins remarxs 10 tne graduates, Dr. Edley emphasized the impor tance of their educational ac complishments. “Many years ago,” he said, “I concluded that among the important issues of our time, educa tion was the top priority. The gains and achievements of blacks, like those of whites, have been in tandem with our education and training.” And he had strong praise for the na tion. “For blacks, this is the best na tion to live in on the planet Earth. Amidst and despite all that is wrong Rev. Jeaae Jackson Bloat Buah Leadership, Soya Too Paaaive Jesse Jackson says the Bush ad ministration is too passive in meeting Mikhail Gorbachev’s initiatives, ad ding that Chinese students are taking the Soviet leader as a role model. “Even as students march in China, they are marching with the Statue of Liberty hoisted on their shoulders, projecting America's ideals for freedom and democracy,” Jackson said last Monday in a commencement address to law students. “But they are using Mikhail Gorbachev as their role model, not the American presi dent in whose nation the Statue of Liberty stands. Bold leadership is in fectious, it challenges the human spirit.” “There is a new and fresh wind blowing in the world,” the civil rights leader and two-time Democratic presidential contender told Hastings I College of Law graduates. “It is being carried by the students—a new generation driven bv hot)e and (TDoinds qf i \ 'Wfcdom <—•~ 4 It's not what you've lost that’s important It's what you have left and how you use it * • • We are all salespeople.

Jackson said in this speech that his reasons {or running for president have not changed—“They have ex panded. They’re intensifying, they are being encouraged.” “My reasoning [in the 1988 cam paign 1 wax that we needed bold new leadership and new direction and sound ideas. It’s not enough to be elected president, a caretaker... It re quires bold leadership.” Earlier, Jackson met with reporters and answered questions about recent speculation that he might run for mayor of Washington, D.C. “I did not start it, I did not en courage it,” he said of the specula tion. “I have no plans to run for mayor. There’s nothing else to say about it ” • « 1 mentor rrogram rroviaes Support To Single Parents As young people, many low income women lacked adequate access to business and profes sional people with whom to discuss'their futures. Frequently these women lack ongoing sup port and resources after becom ing mothers and facing single parenthood. The mentor project was born from the idea that low-income, single mothers would be more likely to go back to school, get a Job or improve their Job position, gain additional skills and become self-sufficient If they had a sup portive person with whom they could talk on an ongoing basis. The gonl of the mentor project -- is to reduce economic hardship, emotional duress and enhance personal growth. The Women's Center committed Itself to this project to support the Raleigh Housing Authority’s Project Self Sufficiency which assists low income single mothers In becom ing self-sufficient.
