To commemorate the fund’s establishment Zumbro presented a large color portrait of Ingram to University Hospital during the University Health Care Foun dation quarterly meeting Tuesday. 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.
