NAACP To Meet
H.B. Pickett, president of the
Raleigh-Apex Branch, NAACP, an
nounced last week that a request
for the discontinuance of handing
of the Academic Gifted program
above the 8.9 percent cap of the
stats of North Carolina, has been
submitted to the Wake County
Board of Education.
Pickett noted that hands that
should be used to help the poor
and high-risk students are si
phoned off to service AG students.
The AG students are able to have
smaller classes and special teach
ers as a result of the allotment
from the state and Wake County.
This gives them a distinct advan
tage over non-AG students, which
helps to further the mystique of
being academically gifted, he said.
Principal Joe Clark’s Old School
Site Of Lively Youth & Elders Talk
PATERSON, N.J.—Eastside
High School—whose legendary
former principal Joe Clark once
succeeded in motivating students
with a combination of tough love
and a baseball bat—was the site of
a lively and topical discussion be
tween members of the Paterson
NAACP Youth Council and a panel
of city leaders.
While Clark’s unique leadership
style was well documented in the
hit movie Lean On Me, it was an
other film—“Separate But Equal,"
which starred Academy Award
winning actor Sidney Poitier as
Thurgood Marshall—that sarvad
as ths springboard for ths discus
sion at Eastside High. Ths movie
was a gift to ths NAACP from the
Pepsi-Cola Co.
Yvonne Finnic, National Youth
Director for the NAACP headquar
ters in Baltimore, said, “We are
gratefhl to Pepsi-Cola for provid
ing the NAACP with 150 videocas
settes of ‘Separate But Equal’ for
our youth and college divisions to
use in preparing forums com
memorating the 38th anniversary
of the U.S. Supreme Court’s his
toric ruling.”
She said, “The Paterson NAACP
Youth council is one of many
NAACP youth and college division
chapters that have held, or are
planning to hold, sudi forums, and
the NAACP is proud of the success
of this chapter in having as
sembled a panel of local elected
and appointed officials to discuss
the ideas raised in the film.”
“Separate But Equal” is a dra
matization of the events surround
ing the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1954
ruling against segregated public
education. Ms. Finnic noted that,
while many Youth and College Di
vision chapters had scheduled fo
rums on or close to May 17 to coin
cide with the date of the 1954 Su
preme Court ruling, soorea of other
chapters will be holding forums
throughout the summer.
Following the screening of a spe
cially edited version of the film, 12
student representatives of the
Paterson NAACP Youth Council
were given the opportunity to ad
dress their questions and concerns
to the city leaders, who included
Paterson Mayor William J.
Pascrell, Jr., City Council Presi
dent Martin G. Barnes, 8chools
Superintendent Laval S. Wilson,
Police Chief Richard W. Munsey,
the- Bergen County Record editor
Glenn Ritt, and a number of other
officials.
“It is a sight I have never seen
in Paterson before,” said John
Harris, youth advisor to the Pater
son NAACP, referring to the as
semblage of city luminaries on the
panel. ”1 have never seen such a
gathering of talent”
While the suggested topic for the
panel diecuaaion had been the ef
fects and ramifications of the 1954
desegregation ruling, many of the
students raised specific questions
concerning inner-city education
and police relations in the commu
nity.
Judging by the reactions of the
200 individuals present the Pater
son forum was an extremely
worthwhile endeavor. The
council's success in bringing to
gether such an important gather
ing of elected and appointed offi
cials surprised even the Paterson
NAACP Youth Council president,
17-year-old Jalyn E. Lyde, Who
noted with pride, This was a his
toric event.” Lyde declared that
the council would work toward
scheduling future forums on a
number of issues.

Child Watch
BY MARIAN WRIGHT KDELMAN
CKLKBRATt THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF YOUNG PEOPLE
Check any newspaper or turn on the tele virion and you'll probably
find a report detailing how drugs, crime, violence and poverty are cut
ting abort too many children’a Uvea. It’s truly overwhelming and we
should never leaeen our efforts to turn these problems around. But at
the same time we should also remember to celebrate the many young
people who have risen above the despair to beat the odds.
I met two extraordinary young people who reminded me that any
one, no matter what their upbringing or background, can achieve their
goals even if earns people would give up on Amo. These young people
can teach us some valuable leeeone about perseverance, self-motivation
and simply trying your best
Let me share the experiences of Tommy and Shqjan, who overcame
what same may consider impossible odds. Both will graduate firom high
school this summer and are looking forward to promising, productive
ftituras.
Tommy has lived in a single-parent home where his mother was
often unemployed. He grew up in a drug- and crime-ridden environment
but never lost hie virion for the fixture. Despite peer pressure and the
negative influences from hie surroundings, Tommy managed to stay fo
cused and persevered. He credits his optimistic, determined grand
mother for instilling him with strength and hope. Hie grandmother's
frequent bouts with hypertension and diabetes have not yet discouraged
her from inspiring her family to succeed.
Eighteen-year-rid Tommy has bean an honor student and maintains
a straight "A* average his senior year. He’a been active in the Student
Government Association, Math Club, and the Fite Marshall's Club, as
well as the baseball and football teams. Ha has also been a "Pear Tutor*
at the local YMCA during Ms junior and senior years.
Like Tommy, Shqjan grew up in hostile surroundings. She has
never experienced a stable family environment Her father has been in
jail throughout her life and she has not lived with her mother for the
past 10 years. "Home” was seeking shelter with different relatives in the
inner city. What Shqjan witnessed and experienced during her childhood
would overwhelm any person, let alone a young girl. She watched her
unde shoot her cousin and then himself. Many family members have
been arrested for drug trafficking, including her older Mother.
Despite their tragedies, Shajan remains a strong, optimistic young
woman. She will be only the fourth in her family to graduate from high
school and the first to attend college. She has an excellent academic
record, currently maintaining a S.7 grade print average and ranking in
the top two percent of her does. Shqjan hopes to become a child psy
chologist because she loves children and wants to help them.
Tommy and 8hqjan are remarkable young people, but they're not
alone. Every community has many Tommys and Shqjans. We need to
honor the young people who are beating the odds and focus on their
strengths and potentiid rather than their problems.
Let me end with some advice Shqjan has shared with others. Her
message can apply to anyone who has considered giving up, no matter
what the problem. "I believe in me; I motivate myself,” Shqjan stresses.
"If you want something and set your mind toward achieving it, then go
for it No one can stop you. The only thing that can stop you is death.
And if you don't die, then you can make it If I don’t die, Tm going to
make it Whatever I want to do in life, Tm going to do it unless Fm in
my grave. That’s the only thing that’s going to stop me.” Wise words
from an inspiring young woman. .
