~ Gibbsadded that, though Nike
‘was willing to name particular
_ clubs that are suspected of being
“racially exclusive, it was not re
leasing a full list of clubs.
She did, however, name Cy
press Point Golf Club in Pebble
Beach, Calif. located between
Monterey and Carmel. “In 1991,
the Cypress Point Golf Club was
taken off the Pebble Beach Na
tional Pro-Am after 45 years be
vcause the exclusive club had no
.ethnic minority members and it
‘remains off the PGA tour list for
-that reason.”
A spokesperson for Cypress
‘Point admitted that the club has
-no black members, but declined
-to answer further questions.
Accordingto Art Teitelbaum, a
spokesman for the Anti-Defama

-der Titlell of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964, public golf courses may
-not discriminate on the basis of
-race, sex or religion. But private
courses are not affected by the
act and “have the right to behave
obnoxiously, in their member
ship policies and practices, and
their use of facilities......” even
though the number of clubs which
maintain restrictions is greatly
diminished from where it was 15
years ago.
At that time, Teitelbaum said,
“clubs, because their bigoted be
havior was exposed, began to
rewrite by-laws and drop ugly
requirements from their appli
cation forms. For example, when
a club requires a picture of a
prospective member, that’s sus
pect behavior.”

publicity, “the remaining clubs
in America that maintain racial
and religious restrictions typi
cally will either deny it, or have
nothing to say on the subject,”
Teitelbaum said.
But the issue should not be
ignored, he stressed. “Private
clubdiscrimination is sometimes
seen as kind of irrelevant, be
cause it doesn’t really hurt any
body, and besides, ‘I wouldn’t
want to be a member of a club
that wouldn’t accept me.’ But we
should remember that private
club discrimination has a very
significantimpact in the world of
business, because on that golf
course or in a private club din
ning room deals are cut, rela
tionships are made and .... it
teaches the terrible lessons of
an‘acceptable’bigotry. And when
community leaders or significant
public personalities are members
of restrictive private clubs, they
lend those policies credibility,
and they give those practices stat
ure.”
Nike’s public relations man
ager, Jim Small, said the ads
were not intended to target par
ticular clubs but “to get people
talking — that golf has not been
an inclusive sport for minorities
and women and Tiger is leading
the charge to make it that way.”
In fact, the material “came
through collaborative discus
sions with Tiger and his
family... They were very much
involved in the selection of these
spots,” Donna Gibbs.
“One of the things Tiger was
interested in from us as a very
high priority, was that we would
support many mincrity youth golf
programs to make golf more in
clusive to minority youth and
girls,” Small said.

LEADER TO LEADER: President Bill Clinton (L) congratulates
publisher John Johnson, founder of Ebony and Jet Maga
zine, after awarding him with the Presidential Medal of
Freedom, the highest civilian honor. Other Medal honorees
included Rosa Parks, Joseph Cardinal Bernardin, James
Brady, Millard Fuller, David Hamburg, Eugene Lang, Jan
Nowak, Antonia Pantoja, Ginetta Sagan and Morris Udall.
the Nation of Islam gathered rap
pers and others in the hip-hop
community for a rally to promote
peace in the violent world of
“gangsta” rap.
“People criticized us and said
‘Why would you honor a gangster
rapper?” Minister Conrad
Muhammad told an all-black au
dience of about 600 who crammed
into a school auditorium near his
Mosque No. 7 in Harlem.

Islam’s New York leader who con-

vened the “dayofatonement,” said:
“We’re not honoring a gangster
rapper, we’re honoring a black
man whois a child of God who was
murdered.”
Shakur, an actor and musician
whose violent raps sold millions of
albums, died Sept. 13 in Las Ve
gas from wounds he suffered in a
shooting six days earlier. Shakur
and his boss, Death Row records
CEO Marion “Suge” Knight, were
shotin Knight's BMW as they left
aMike Tyson-Bruce Seldonheavy
weight title fight.
No arrests have been made in
the case and police have said they
have few clues and have received
little cooperation from witnesses
of the shooting.
On Sunday, police cordoned off
whole blocks of 127th and 128th
streets and Nation of Islam repre
sentatives controlled access to the
school. Several hundred peoplestood
onthestreet listening toloudspeak
ers. White reporters were not al
lowed inside the auditorium, but
some black reporters were let in.
Men and women were seated on
opposite sides of the room.
After delivering an hour-long
speech, Conrad Muhammad turned
the microphone over to a series of
rappers, disk jockeys, community
activists and others from the hip
hop community.
Among the musicians at the
gathering were hip-hop pioneers
Afrika Bambaataa and DJ Kool
Herc, Doug E. Fresh, Fat Joe The
Gangsta, Grandmaster Flash, and
Q Tip of the group A Tribe Called
Quest.
“I'think the problem comes from
black men, especially,” Q Tip said.

known as Biggie Smalls, and his

Prior to Shakur’s death, there
had been a simmering feud be
tween Smalls and Combs and
Shakur and Knight. Shakurac
cused Smalls, whose real name.is
Christopher Wallace, of involve
ment in a 1994 robbery in Times
Square in which Shakur was shot
several times and lost $40,00G in
jewelry.
Muhammad had said in an

Combs and Wallace would be thére
but Combs said Wednesday
through a spokeswoman that he
would not attend and Wallace did
not appear Sunday. sh
Knight'sties tothe Bloods street
gang also have been speculated to
be a possible motive for Shakur’s
shooting. :
