Official says community
needs must be addressed
Washington —Racism can
no longer be used by Blacks to san
ction inaction in addressing Black
family and community needs, ac
cording to Dr. Douglas Glasgow,
Vice President for Washington
Operations for the National Urban
League. Glasgow said in 1985
Blacks must move from “notions
of philanthropy” or “dependen
cy” to the reality of greater self
reliance by the year 2000.
“We cannot deny much of what
has been said about the growing
sense of dependency allowed to
ferment in some sections of the
Black community, Glasgow told
his audience at the Martin Luther
King Jr. Center for Social Change
in Atlanta. In a January 12th
speech he recalled the advice of the
late Dr. King who said, “We must
not let the fact that we are victims of
injustice lull us into abrogating
responsibility for our own lives. In
this period of social change Blacks
must come to see that there is
much they can do for themselves
about their plight.”
Citing statistics that indicate
high Black unemployment, more
Black children having children, in
creasing numbers of single paren
ted, female headed and poor
families, Glasgow said the
socioeconomic condition of Blacks
and the nation’s poor has wor
sened in the past four years.
“Blacks stand on the precipice of
economic annihiliation. The suf
fering of Black and disadvantaged
people demands immediate atten
tion.”
Glasgow challenged the notion
put forth by Charles Murray in
relations consultant; Dr. Sharon
E. Whittaker, dean of students
approximately 60 high school
students; advisors; and Paine
College student leaders.
The objectives are (1) to help
high school student council leaders
develop personal and technical
skills necessary to run meetings
and develop progrms and (2) to
create an atmosphere conducive
to self awareness and to allow for
interaction among peers. The per
sonal skills will include
motivation, communication skills,
and leadership skills. The
technical skills will include time
management (meetings and per
sonal schedules), how to run effec
tive meetings and how to plan suc
cessful programs.
Paine College is an adopter of
the RCASC, Richmond County
Association of Student Councils.
Zumbro asked that the photograph
which was taken after Ingram’s
surgery, hang in the Georgia Heart
Institute as an inspiration to other
heart patients.
Grady Ingram, father of Tyron
ze, and Juanita Ingram, Tyronze’s
wife were also present for the un
veiling of the portrait.
Grady Ingram told the News
Review, “I hope this plan can help
someone recieve a heart transplant
the way it helped Tyronze. This is
a very special group of people here
today and I’m glad Tyronze was
able to be a part of it,” he added.
Losing Ground that the 60s poverty
programs are the cause of the
deteriorating Black economic con
dition. “For the past four years
the American public has been led
to believe that the social progrms
of the 60’s hurt poor and Black
people and had no measurable im
pact on improving the conditions
of poverty. The social programs
of the 60’s achieved exactly what
they were developed to achieve.”
Glasgow said the social
programs never sought to alter
market dynamics or labor force
tradition to ensure the elimination
of the economic dependency by the
poor. “The social philsosphy that
undergirded the programs placed
responsibility for poverty on
society, and in many ways
rationalized poverty, making it a
palatable social condition,” he ad
ded. He said while the social
programs removed the more “ab
ject” facets of poverty and
“humanized” it, the programs
were not designed to infuse the un
derclass poor into the nation’s
labor force or to create mass entry
of the poor into the market
economy.
Glasgow saicj Blacks have the
capcity to change the Black
economic condition by reviving
and recycling the institutions put in
place early to help in the struggle
to achieve economic parity. He
praised the MLK Center as a
starling examply of the impact that
Black institutions can have in
reordering the lives of the Black
Community. “The survivl of
Black people will remain in
question unless we rebuild Black
Institutions.” Ht urged Black
professionals to use their expertise
to reorder the American economic
order. But he cautioned that
because Blacks lack the capital
base to begin rebuilding Black In
stitutions they must reeducate
Congress to become the catalyst by
providing resources to undergird
the development of these in
struments of social change and
human development.
We must help government see
that rebuilding our institutional
capacity is as important to the sur
vival of Black America as the U.S.
investment in Chrysler was impor
tant to building the security of the
nation’s economic fabric. He said
Black America is not asking the
government to maintain its poor
nor to invoke policies which are in
sensitive to its plight. But Glasgow
called on Blacks and other
Americans who seek a just place in
our nation to mobilize at the state
and local levels to reorder the op
portunity systems of this nation’s
economy.
