James Brown Is Focus Os Anti- Crime Tour
The Rev. Al Sharpton
president of the National
Youth Movement, said in
Augusta last week that his
organization is using singer
James Brown in an anti
crime tour aimed at
encouraging young people
to stop criminal activity,
especially Black-on-Black
crime.
“We are using Brown
because of his
overwhelming popularity
with youth and because he
was a juvenile delinquent
himself,” Sharpton said.
"He will be urging
constructive programs to
keep their minds
occupied.”
Brown, will be giving
concerts in some cities to
finance the tour. In other
cities he will speak,

Broadway Is M y Beat

Was she ever anyone
other than Pearl Bailey?
Onstage, or off? “I am
myself,” she said
decisively. “I am not a
studied performer,” she
added, as she looked oyer
her shoulder and up toward
the ceiling at a point
imagined. Her outstretched
hands tumbled over one
another and the right hand
came to momentarily point
out something in space.
“There are a lot of
performers who have
studied and made up their
mind that they are going to
point to the moon,” she
said "See, I never know
anything before hand. It
just flows through me.”
Bailey, dressed in a
shimmering purple caftan,
wearing glasses with fist
sized lenses, is in a new
movie, “The Fox and the
Hound.”
It’s her voice that’s
featured: she speaks and
sings the part of Big
Mama, the wise owl, in the
animated film from the wait
Disney studios. But Bailey
thinks Big Mama rather
fancies her and it’s hard to
argue after seeing the
movie. Bailey suggests that
the animators were
watching her as he came to
the studio to record her
voice parts. Now, that's
modesty - as if animators
and everyone e.se in the
so-called civilized world

He said his
organization believes that
economic development is
just as important as
political progress. And
media ownership is
essential to both. “If we
don’t own the facilities to
communicate with each
other we are doomed,” he
said.

And he has built a clean
and strong image that
should not be tarnished
because of business
mistakes.
Sharpton said he and
Al Garner, former station
manager at radio station
WRDW in Augusta when
Brown owned it, met with
Paul Summit, head of the
Crime Division of the
Senate Judiciary Committee
following a private meeting
with Sen Strom Thurmon,
chairman of the Senate
Judiciary Committee.
According to Sharpton,
Thurmond said he is a
“great fan of James Brown
and has a picture of Brown
hanging in his Washington
Office.
