In line with the coming millennium and the ever-widening global econo my, our editors decided--for the ben efit of Black America and America as a whole-to begin to focus on the Black leadership-initiated campaign of “Targeting our dollars towhere they make the most sense." This economic development cam paign--led by the /.B.P.O.Elks of the World, along with the extremely sup portive cooperation of the Prince Hall Masons (including the A.EA.O.N.M. Shrine *Shriners") and with the overall direction of AOIP's Long-Range Plan ningandßesource Identification Com mittee, headed by the NAACP and the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.--is so crucial that The National BLACK MONITOR will be devoting space in future issues to the further explora tion of this subject. Future issues will also highlight these and other AOIP organizations' efforts to give priority * The letters AOIP originally stood for Assault On llliteracy Program--a networking and coordinating framework for assaulting the root causes of illiteracy (.., lackof self-esteem and self-efficacy). However, two things were soon recognized. One thing nized was that, whenever these root causes were | assaulted, we simultaneously wereengaged ina processfor assaulting almost allthe otherlis Imm most heavily on the Black community (i.e., drugs, | other crimes, needless forms of welfare, teen pmnnncy. etc.). The other thing recognized was that it was impossible to assault illiteracy at its covu.mo:g | many Bl.ckAmdcmuwlmMnlmunmoounz. ressing those other llis. That iswhen theamazing and long-needed Goals for The Year 2000 and Beyo: | (please see Page 5) were developed, and the name changed to Assault On lliiteracy Process, or simply AOIP, support to those corporations and othersthat provideßlack Americans jobs and other economic benefits. This campaign will start with afocus on supporting the American car man ufacturing industry. We invite our readers to look in upcoming issues of AOIP's National BLACK MONITOR forthe listings of the Black Automotive Dealers of the Chrysler Corporation, the Ford Motor Company and the General Motors Corporation to see whereyou can purchase these Amer ican-made cars and trucks. *kk The leadership groups of AOIP (and others) mourn the loss of one of its Founding Enablers, Dr. Calvin W. Rolark, who passed away late last year. Dr. Rolark was also one of the prime movers to help spearhead this *Win-Win" focus on how supporting those corporations that are providing Black Americans jobs and other eco nomic benefits enhances our efforts to have job opportunities for all. We invite you to read the special tribute to his good works in next month's very special memorial issue.

An unprecedented media-based catalyst successfully has encouraged and enabled AOIP--an all-volunteer coalition of over 90 of the most influ ential, national leadership groups in Black America (with a membership and family reach of more than 16 million deeply concerned consumer citizens) for the first time ever--to 1) begin working together in a coordi nated way to eradicate the ‘root causes" of a broad range of illiteracy related "ills," and 2) start rewarding those corporations, with vastly in creased and guaranteed sales ac tion, which utilize AOIP's supporting newspapers and the National BLACK MONITOR on a regular and consis (Continued on Page 5)
