Dr. Fulani Blames Corrupt Cops,
Bipartisan Politicans For Drug Woes
‘NEW YORK, N.Y.-Dr. Lenora
Fulani, who ran for president in 1988
under the banner of the New Alliance
Party, told participants in the 60th
annual national convention of the
League of United Latin American
Citizens in Washington last week that
the bipartisan political establishment
and corrupt police officers are
responsible for the epidemic of drugs
that is ravaging the black and Latino
communities of America.
The former candidate, mental
health worker, mother of two and
panelist at the recent General
Assembly Symposium called “War
on Drugs: Fact or Fiction,” charged
that drugs “have a very important
political function in this country. Not
only do they make huge profits for
those who deal them, but they are
designed to keep our
children—especially our young
men—out of it: out of the world, out of
their minds, and out of control.
Because if you are high on crack or
down on Thorazine, or chained to a
methadone clinic every day of your
life, you’re not in any place to fight
back against the racism and poverty
that brought you there in the first
place.”
While she blamed “professional
politicians” for allowing drugs into
the communities, she also charged
that corrupt police officers are traf
ficking drugs in poor communities. In
New York City, she said, “Corrupt
cops don’t just stand by and allow the
drug trade to flourish in poor com
munities, they are trafficking the co
caine, this crack and the heroin and
putting this poison into our kids’
hands.”
Dr. Fulani, who is running as an in
dependent candidate for New York
City mayor, chairs the Adam Abdul
Hakeem/Ricardo Burgos Coalition to
Save Our Youth in New York City.
Hakeem, formerly known as Larry
Davis, and Burge* have been the
target of what Fulani calls a
“murderous police vendetta” since
they began charging that for years
corrupt cops have been recruiting
young black and Puerto Rican men
for the drag ring they operate out of
the 44th Precinct in the South Bronx
and the 34th Precinct in Harlem, two
of the nation’s poorest communities.

six police officers in his apartment as
a result of what he said was a planned
police assassination attempt. A jury
concurred, and he was twice acquit
ted on murder charges, but a judge
sentenced him to five years in prison
for using an illegal handgun.
Dr. Fulani appeared on the panel
with Jack Blum, former chief counsel
for the U.S. Senate Subcommittee on
Terrorism, Narcotics and Interna
tional Operations; and Jim
Karlsgaard, legislative assistant to
U.S. Sen. Dennis DeConcini
(D-Ariz.). The weeklong convention
in Washington, which had as its
theme, “Hispanic America—A Time
to Stand and Deliver,” brought
together 1,000 members of LULAC,
the country’s oldest and largest
Hispanic civil rights and service
organization.

300 Attend Gala Celebation At
Ocean City Beech On Topsoil
More than 300 people attended the gala celebration of the 40th an
niversary of Ocean City Beach on Topsail Island recently.
Eight three-story cement towers are scattered the length of the
narrow island that date back to World War II when German sub
marines prowled off the North American coast.
These eight towers enchant tourists visiting the island that has
become one of the state's noted seaside playgrounds.
During the celebration, the Ocean City Beach Citizens’ Council
presented a plaque to Ms. Caronell Chestnut in appreciation for her
perseverance In continuing efforts of development of Ocean City
Beach and helping make it possible to celebrate 40 years as a grow
ing beach community.
The activities began July 15 on the beach strand with a sand
sculpture building contest and a fishing contest. Also, many enjoyed
the fabulous picnic catered by Mr. and Mrs. George Tyson,
managers of Ocean City Fishing Pier, Inc.
During the picnic a fashion show was presented by Ms. Sophia
Pierce, owner of A&S Fashions of Fayetteville. Some of the models
were beach residents and friends.
During the evening, the Historical Society of Topsail Island
presented three plaques designating historical sites in Ocean City.
One was for Tower No. 1 that was built by Camp Davis and used dur
ing World War II.
The island had been part of the Camp Davis antiaircraft military
training base, with headquarters at Holly Ridge. Tower I was later
renovated by Wade Chestnut as a business establishment. Another
plaque was presented to the Ocean City Beach Citizens’ Council and
received by Leland Newsome, president of the council, for those who
made it possible for the development of Ocean City Beach. A plaque
was also presented for the Oceanside Camp, which was the first
black Episcopal camp in the Diocese of East Carolina.
The camp, under the leadership of the Right Rev. Thomas H.
Wright, diocesan bishop at the time, was aided by the Rev. Dr. Ed
win E. Kirkton, rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Wilmington
as the organizer and director, assisted by all black priests in the
diocese—the Rev. Joseph H. Banks, the Rev. Charles M. Johnson
and the Rev. Richard Horsley.
On July 16, the climax of the weekend’s activities was held in the
Wade H. Chestnut Memorial Chapel with Henry E. Frye, associate
justice of the N.C. Supreme Court, as guest speaker. Frye, of
Greensboro, delivered a speech that was followed by a necrology ser
vice memorializing bech residents who died during these 40 years.
The service was held by Ms. Ollie Felfair and her committee.
