What motivates young Blacks in a society where the public
rewards will more than likely be far less than they deserve? What
can we Black adults and parents do? Do you ever ask yourself
what you can do, and not why is it they don’t listen to me?
We have created avenues whereby we can acclaim our own. We
don’t have to sit back anymore and wait to be recognized in a
White majority newspaper or on television. We adults are just
beginning to understand our own problems; we cannot turn our
backs on our young people.
It seems strange that with so many advantages available today,
we are not producing, at an acceptable rate, the number of
excited and happy young adults we should be producing.
Where are we going wrong? Families? Our family structures are
weakening. Welfare is turning families into vegetables, to be
watered and nurtured just enough to appease the hunger, but
offers nothing to create a desire for achievement, nor does it
instill self-respect. How does a parent teach a child self-respect
when he has been robbed of it himself?
Schools? Our schools have been torn apart from their primary
purpose - to teach. They are now social weapons used by both
Black and White to obtain whatever public notoriety they are
| if t seeking. In the meantime, school spirit is broken and our young
V people are again being used.
We, adults, still ask, “how do we motivate our youth?” One
thing for sure, we can’t do it if we continue to cut their world
into thousands of insignificant pieces. They must feel they are a
part of everything we do, because they are. Otherwise, what we
do has no meaning.
We must listen to what they have to say, no matter how
unimportant we may think it to be.
I’d like to extend another invitation, but this one to our
teachers. I would like you to ask your students to write to me
and simply continue this statement: “I wish adults and parents
would just ” I promise to print them as they are
received.
I know there are many teachers who are readers of the
News-Review. I beg you to prove me wrong in my judgment of
our Black teachers and their concern for our young people. Show
your students and our readers, who may be their parents, that
you do care.

Suspects In Pa. Rape Case Linked
To Black Muslims, Police Claim
Washington - NBNS -
Philadelphia police have in
custody two suspects in the
miltiple rape and robbery case
there in which one of the guns
taken was used in the mass
slaying of seven Hanafi
Moslems here last month.
Officers have identified
them as Black Muslim
ministers, according to
informed sources, and also
found a copy of a letter sent to
Black Muslim ministers across
i- the country by Hamaas Abdul
Khaalis, leader of the Hanafis
in the nation’s capitol.
In the letter, Khaalis
strongly criticized Black
Muslim leader Elijah
Muhammad. Officials believe
this is the motive for the mass
daughter of the seven persons
in the Moslem headquarters
here, on Jan. 18.
But the Black Muslims
newspaper, “Muhammad
Speaks” his strongly denied
charges by Khaalis that the
Muslin sect -- which will admit
no whites into its membership,
Zeta Tau Alpha; Shirley
Robinette, Pi Kappa Phi; Lee
Battey, Student Nurses Assn.;
Donna Johnson, Phi Beta Po
tata; Cynthia Diggs, Black
Student Union; Judy Carroll,

Crawford, Student Assn, of
Educators; Cherie Fuchs, Polit
ical Science Club; Leonore
Sacco, Alpha Delta Phi; Angela
unlike the Hanafi Moslems --
was responsible for the mass
murders in one of the most
bizarre crimes in Washington
history.
In three articles in this
week’s edition of “Muhammed
Speaks,” the Black Muslims
leaders labelled Khaalis a
“modern day Uncle Tom who
would sell out his own brother
for the favor of the devil
(white man).”
“There is little doubt that
Hamaas Abdul Khaalis filled
his pockets with the devil’s
money to gain enough nerve to
appear on television and tell
these outrageous lies against
Messanger Muhammad and the
Nation of Islam,” one article
said.
In another article, the Black
Muslims said Khaalis was
serving as “the white man’s
tool to speak against the
Messenger.” They said the
charges against the Black
Muslims were “outrageous lies.’
The paper also attacked the
followers of Khaalis saying,

U.S. SUPPORTS RHODESIAN
EMBARGO IT VIOLATES
United Nations -- NBNS --
The U.S. says it believes the
sanctions imposed by the
United Nations against
Rhodesia “should be tightened
and maintained” although it is
the biggest violater of some of
these sanctions.
The United States has been
importing chrome and nickle
from Rhodesia for some time
now, although the embargo has
been in force since 1966. The
U.N. Security Council has
attempted to force the white
majority regime in Rhodesia to
give a greater amount of power
to the nation’s black majority
citizens.
Christopher Phillips,
speaking for the U.S., criticized
Rhodesia for closing its
400-mile border with
neighboring Zambia last
month.
A spokesman for the
President indicated that the
U.S. would like to see more
significant violations of the
embargo stopped, and he said
the President continued to
favor the prohibition imposed
by the council. A 1971
Congressional act permits the
U.S. to import Rhodesian
chrome and nickle despite the
sanctions.
