On ring a summer Upward Bound program Oldham said some black students who saw few advantages to speaking properly and clearly, like Oldham. “I’m not trying to demean or belittle them, I’m trying to give them options in language,” she said. “Call it what you will, grammatically correct English in many instances opens doors.” Psychologist Noeile Clark saidit’s not just attitudes in schools that need to be changed. “Children learn all kinds of ways, most likely by imitation. So if they grow up in a household wbere education is valued, they’re much more likely to value it,” Clark said.

For more than 20 years, about one in every three black Americans has lived in poverty. And since at least the late 1970s, about one in every four Hispanic Americans has been poor. By contrast, only about one in 10 white Americans has been living below the poverty line. Considering the dramatic social and economic changes of those decades, it's surprising that the makeup of poor Americans has remained so constant. Those years produced five recessions and four periods of prosperity. They stretched from the activist years following President Lyndon Johnson and his “War on Poverty” through President Ronald Reagan and the era termed by its entities as one of benigh neglect. And, during that time, the nation’s economy was transformed by computers, industrial robots and foreign competition. In a time of runaway social and economic change, why should so many blacks and His panics remain poor? Research shows that in general, the answer has little to do with their own decisioins (Hr actions.

James D. Lewis, a longtime resident of the Raleigh community and Bobby Davis, a psychiatric social worker are two candidates for Raleigh City Council at-large seats. Lewis, making his first bid for elected office, is relying on the black community for much of his support. Supporters include John W. Winters, Sr., the first black ever the council; Clarence Lightner, Raleigh’s first black mayor; and Harold Webb, a former director of state uersonnel Davis said he hopes contacts accumulated during a decade of coaching little league football and basketball will win him votes. And his name will be second on the ballot. Lewis said the announcement by Frank L. Turner not to seek re election to the at-large seat he won by a two-vote margin in 1989 afforded him the opportunity to run. In District C Council race, Thomas Jarrett, a businessman and martial arts expert said be is seeking election as “a contribution to the well-being of the community.” Council member Ralph C.

At the 32nd Triennial Convention, held by YWCA of the USA last May, participating teens chose self-esteem as the focus of this triennium. The YWCA of Wake County recognizes YWCA Teen Week as a celebration of teens in our community. New Horizons, For Girls Only and Friday Night Fun, programs that are currently offered by the YWCA of Wake County for teens, stress the importance of self esteem. j New Horizons Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Program places emphasis on self-awareness and constructive decision-making abilities. The program centers on informative workshops and group discussions covering relevant topics such as peer pressure, substance abuse, adolescent sexuality and other relevant issues. “We educate our youth in these areas because there are some proven barriers that contribute to teenage pregnancy. However, the biggest barrier is self-esteem. New Horizons strives to make sure our youth have the necessary tools to build positive self-esteem. If teens do not feel good about themselves, how can we expect them to feel good about anything? Helping our youth to accomplish this goal is a challenge for us all. New live for too long, especially in district C,” Jarrett said. “We need to hold Ralph Campbell, Jr. accountable for his lack of representation, We can do it at the polls. Thomas Jarrett has given you the choice, the rest is up to you. Vote Oct. 8,” Jarrett said. Campbell has amassed an impressive record of accomplishments since 1985. During his first term he was appointed chairman of the Law and Finance Committee, the first time in Raleigh’s history that a freshman council member had been given such responsibility. Campbell, a Raleigh native and graduate of St. Augustine’s College, fills in when the mayor is not available, making him the second in comp'01''4 «f the city.
