Johnson, Mr. George Turner, Mrs. Bennie Mae Williams The silent church By Kenneth W. Cummings The Bakke case, The Weber case. The Sears case. The resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan. What do these things have in common? Collectively and individually, the pose a threat to the civil rights of blacks and other minorities in this country, In spite of the gains that blacks have made in America over the last 25 years do not be deceived: racism is alive and doing well. It is seen in every sector of our society -- politics, business, labor and the church. While black civil rights activists and clergypersons take to the street rallying for their God-given rights, the government and the white church, for the most part, have remained silent. In the ’sos and especially the ’6os, the heyday of civil rights activism, the F. 8.1., C.1.A., G. 8.1. and municipal authorities launched an attack on various organizations -- Black Panthers, SCLC, SNCC -- that were considered a threat to the moral fiber of America. Phones were bugged; letters were opened; names were slandered. Blacks and sympathetic whites were shot at and killed . Each governmental agency defended its investigations as being in the best interest of America. And through it all the white church was silent. Ironically, this same church did not hesitate to speak out on other social ills. Case in point. Let some businessperson try to invade a “drv” county with legislation pertaining the sale of alcoholic beverages. What about the recent onslaught of clergypersons opposing the sale of liquor on Sundays in restaurants and similar places.

William Jones. flit ■■■■ DOWNTOWN e ■'jr'-yiJ! ■' complete home furnishings jg Blossom House International M 1816 Wrightsboro Rd. g ’ o,^/ OCUJ,O " J S ® 738-1439 g WALLACE’S REAL ESTATE 1132 Laney-Walker Blvd. 722 • 8838 FLOWERS..

And if they try to take prayer completely out of the public school system, Lawd, help us. And the school board better not try to push Darwin’s “Origin of the Specie” and omit the “Creation Story” in Genesis. The white clergy is basically united on what some would consider these demoralizing issues. But when it comes to racism and oppression where goes the “marching” consensus? The late W.E.B. Dubois was right when he said the greatest problem America will face in the 20th century is race, not energy, unemployment nor inflation. Blacks and other minorities cannot rely on the Supreme Court to arrest that malignant, cancerous growth of racism while handing down ambiguous decisions, first siding with Bakke, then against Weber. We cannot rely on congress which passes legislation prohibiting discrimination on the basis of race and then turns around and discriminates in its hiring of aides. If in fact America is to transcend the barrier of racism, it will take the concerted effort of the “institutional church,” barring no race nor denomination. In short, the white church must speak out.

The Augusta News-Review - September 29, 1979 - A thought to live by By Emam Aqeel K. Hasan The family unit is the base on which society should be built. You must be active in assuming tire responsibility for yourself and family. Work hard to protect yourself and your family members from the many destructive forces that are designed to destroy family life. When you go shopping, shop as a family; when you eat, eat as a family. The members of the family, should plan for the family. So plan today for tomorrow, and if your plan works or even if it fails, remember God is the best of planners.
