we don’t come out right

NAACP Executive
Director Benjamin
THooks ,/eveals as ~he
N&4CP-led
symbolic political protest
in the 1988 presidential
elections.

on Tony Brown’s Journal

in an upcoming program
on the nation’s public
television stations (PBS).
Hooks and the
NAACP Jjavf consisten
tly opposed d Black
presidential candidacy in
the Democratic Party
primary race next year,
but for the first time, he
is now threatening to use
his personal popularity
and position as head of
the nation’s largest civil
rights organization
(more than 1,700 local
branches with 450,000
members) to force
political concessions
from the Democrats for
the Black community.
Tony Brown’s Journal,
the longest-running, top
ranked, Black-Affairs
television series has been
sponsored by Pepsi-Cola
Company for nine con
secutive years. Televised
nationally on public
television (PBS), the
program will be seen in
this area on WCEC-20 at
5 p.m. on Sun., August
21.
The 1984 elections,
however, is not the year
for a Black symbolic
protest, Hooks asserts,
because ‘‘l don’t think
that a Black person has a
ghost of chance of win
ning in 1984.”
His latest announ
cement is based on a
“strategy that would
open up the Democratic
Party more fully—to
galvanize attention of
Black voters.” But, he
adds, Afro-Americans
are too sophisticated to
need a Black presidential
candidate to stimulate
their going to the polls in
1984: “I don’t think
we’re that dumb.”
What television viewers
will see is a man freed
from internal politics
who is now fully in
charge of the NAACP.
On his differences with
NAACP Chairman
Margaret Bush Wilson,
he asserts that he now has
“the powers” to run the
organization for the first
time since he became the
executive director.
Obviously irritated by
the criticism of some
Black writers in white
newspapers, the NAACP
leader called them “so
called Blacks” who
“verge on stupidity.” He
added: “They wouldn’t
ever be heard from unless
they attack Black in
stitutions. I accuse them
of selling out the Black
community.”
In a direct reference to
Kenneth Clark who wrote
in the New York Times
that the NAACP was a
“Black separatist
organization,” Hooks
said that “he has
despitefully used us.”
Clark himself insisted,
Hooks asserts, that a
previous meeting on An
drew Young’s dismissal
from the United Nations’
post be limited to
“Blacks only.”
“I think some of them
(Black writers for white
publications) are really
white supremacists; they
would really like to see
white folk in charge of
everything,” Hooks tells
Tony Brown.
The NAACP head is
also ruffled about the
misplaced credit that
some are getting for voter
registration. Hooks poin
ts to the recent NAACP
drive which registered
30,000 Black voters in
Mississippi. But, he says,
Bradford Reynolds,
Reagan Adinistration
civil rights attorney
general, while singing
“We Shall Overcome”
and registering only 111
Blacks in the same state
“makes headline news.”

Bill Cosby
Laney- Walker to get apartments
City Council Monday approved
a zoning change which will permit
a local insurance executive to build
a 40-unit town house development
on Laney-Walker Boulevard and
Augusta Avenue at an anticipated
cost of $1.2 million.
Walker said the apartments
which will be located at Augusta
Avenue and Laney Walker
Boulevard will rent for between
$325 and $350 a month. He said
the development will stabilize
property value and influence the
development of Surrounding
properties.
BiU Cosby: a man is
for all seasons
Bill Cosby’s approach
to his multitude of
television commercials is
to make the spots so en
joyable that the
scheduled program ap
pears to interrupt the
commercials rather than
the other way around! In
the cover story of the
September Right
On/CLASS magazine,
the comedian says that
humor is the universal
language.
Cosby strives for the
humorous touch in all of
his commercials, which
plug everything from
pudding to auto parts.
And, as millions of
viewers know, he is a
natural with youngsters.
“One thing I demand
in a commercial with
children is that I have a
rainbow of kids—all
colors. It creates an
American mood,” says
Cosby who is generally
given a free hand to “im
prove” on the commer
cial scripts.
One Madison Avenue
observer notes, “He un
derstands his audience
and his style is far better
than anyone else who
may be writing for him.”
The highly successful
actor and humorist grew
up in poverty in
He said that the property, which
is convient to Paine College and
the Medical College of Georgia, is
in keeping with downtown
redevelopment.
“I’d like of emphasize,” he con
tinued, “that I have no hard
feelings toward the people who
opposed it. I don’t and won’t hold
grudges. And I plan to work with
thejn.”
Walker was alluding to the
Laney-Walker Neighborhood
Association which had sought to
keep the project out of the neigh
borhood.
Augustan native
Gladys G. Scott has been
promoted to assistant
director of Dismas House
in Atlanta.
Dismas House of
Atlanta, a residential
community treatment
center, facilitates the
transition of an in
stitutional confinement
to the community as a
productive and con
tributing member, and
serves as an alternative to
incarceration for non
violent offenders.
Ms. Scott was initially
hired as a counselor’s aid
for Dismas House in Oc
tober 1981 and was
promoted to counselor,
and in June, 1983 was
named assistant director.
Her new duties include
supervision of counselors
and counselor aides.

Association President William
Brown told Council last month,
“It took us 50 years to become a
neighborhood and now you’re
going to tear it down in two.
You’re going to turn it into a
multiple-family area, which will
turn it into a ghetto.”
However, Fourth Ward City
Councilmen I.E. Washington and
Joseph C. Jones spoke for the
zoning change. Walker said the
property is an “eyesore to the
community with high grass and

Philadelphia and was
forced to drop out of
high school in the tenth
grade. Yet, today Cosby
holds a doctorate in
education and champions
the cause of children
finishing school.
For nearly three years,
youngsters have been
greeted in the early mor
ning by “Cos” on the
CBS television show,
“Wake Up with Captain
Kangaroo.” Cosby leads
a five-minute instruction
segment on the program,
designed to develop
readiness skills in pre
school children.
Most recently, the star
finished filming, “Bill
Cosby, Himself.” In ad
dition to his commercial
and nightclub work, he
also finds time to sit on
serveral boards of direc
tors and is national
chairman of the Sickle
Cell Foundation.
Os his own style,
Cosby told Right
On/CLASS that personal
contact is most important
in comedy, as illustrated
by the “real life” ex
periences in his routines.
“People of all races
can be brought together
by sharing my experien
ces and laughing at
them,” he adds.
