A lot of Richard
Pryor’s career has found
him battling controver
sies about his private life,
but he insists the public
doesn’t know the real
Richard Pryor. In talking
with host Tony Brown,
he describes the painful
areas during his rise to
stardom and how they
have affected his outlook
on life. What he looks for
now is the peace and
serenity that have eluded
him for much of his life.
Os the many aspects of
Richard Pryor, none is
more fascinating than his
appealing personality
that has attracted
millions of fans. While he
was hospitalized, the en
tire nation responded in
sympathy as if America
was about to lose one of
its great heroes. This
touched Pryor deeply
and, perhaps, awakened
him to the fact that
despite his sometimes of
fensive humor and eccen
tric demeanor, America
cared.

Three main topic areas
will be discussed: the
political strength of Black
America, domestic isues
and international issues.
A general overview of the
current state of Black
America in a political and
historical contex will
focus on the political in
fluence of Black
Americans in this election
year. Domestic issues to
be discussed will include
housing, the economy,
civil rights, unem
ployment, the environ
ment, education and
crime. The segment on in
ternational issues will
focus on foreign policy,
defense spending, South
Africa, the Caribbean,
Central America and the
Midle East.
The panelists will also
deputy registrars that
there would be no
problem,” Smith said.
“I want to believe she’s
(Beasley) sincere, but
there are those on her
board who don’t want
too many Blacks
registered.”
Though Beasley could
not be reached for com
ment, Lynn Bailey,
deputy clerk of the Board
of Elections, denied the
allegations of
discrimination. “No
community is going to be
favored more than the
other,” said Bailey. “We
have voter registration
sites in Dyess Park on 9th
Street and also the John
son Recreation Center,
that’s in Sunset Homes.”
But the examples of
voter registration sites in
the predominantly Black
communities apparently
did not appease the
NAACP.
“The city is about
53.4-percent Black but
the majority of the voter
registration points are in
the white communities.
The feedback that I get is
that there is a conspiracy
to make sure whites
always outnumber Black
voters,” charged Smith.
He admitted that to
prove the conspiracy
would be difficult, but he
went on to state that his
allegations would soon
reveal themselves.
“There are some
rumors going around that
they (City Council) will
attempt to annex some
small white communities
into the city. Since it’s
address the impact of the
Jesse Jackson candidacy
and offer an analysis of
all of the presidential
candidates and the stand
each takes on the issues.

not wholesale con
solidation, they can do
it,” Smith explained.
To diffuse the alleged
conspiracy, Smith says
the local NAACP is step
ping up its voter
registration efforts in the
city and county, “par
ticularly minority
voters.”
He says the
organization will also ap
peal to Georgia Secretary
of State Max Cleland for
assistance and will act as
a complainant in a suit
filed by the Voter
Education Project (VEP)
in Atlanta. Smith says
VEP is attempting to
change some “voting
irregularities” through
out the state.
“One thing we’re not
doing is waiting,” affir
med Smith.
The NAACP will hold
a mass meeting May 17,
