Lowery urges coalition members
to 'take charge of their destiny'
By MELISSA CRADDOCK
Staff Writer
The Rev. Joseph Lowery chal
lenged the members of the Georgia
Coalition of Black Women to con
tinue registering voters and pulling
people in office who will be ac
countable to the people for their
actions in office.
During the coalition's annual
meeting and awards luncheon at the
Macon Hilton Saturday, the
president of the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference (SCLC)
encouraged the women, including
members of the Houston County
Coalition, to work through all of
their churches to increase the voting
rolls.
"You can get to heaven whether
you're a Baptist or a Methodist, but
you can t vote unless you're regis
tered," he said of the ecumenical ef
fort needed for widespread registra
tion.
During the coalition's ninth an
nual conference, the group honored
six Georgians who have worked
towards registration, human rights
and community advancement.
Those honored were Georgia
Secretary of State Max Clcland,
Georgia Slate Patrol Major Myron
Eugene Freeman, Hancock County
Commission Chairman H. Betty
Hill, Rcidsvillc City Council
woman Annie L. Jones, E.A.R.
Enterprises C.E.O. and President
Eli McKenzie Jr. and Executive
Vice-President and Secretary Roy
McKenzie.
Each year, the Georgia Coalition
honors outstanding members of the
community who have worked to
wards the coalition's goals of voter
registration, drug awareness and
prevention, child care, tutorial as
sistance for youth and adults, basic
skills training and citizenship edu
cation.
Secretary of State Clcland and
Maj. ’ Freeman encouraged the
coalition to ask their legislators to
approve the "Motor Voter"
program, which would combine
voter registration with driver's
license renewals. This would make
it one-stop shopping, Clcland said.
During his keynote address. Rev.
Lowery emphasized the effect of
lifestyles on the continuing efforts
of the civil rights movement.
"Everything has changed and
nothing has changed," Lowery said
of the movement's first 25 years.
This year marks the twenty-fifth
anniversary of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. He said that what happens
during the next 25 years rests in the

"In the struggle for justice, we
must lake charge of our own des
tiny," he said.
That destiny includes the rejec
tion of drugs, alcohol and cigarette
smoking. Lowery said that those
arc some of the main lifestyle
problems among black Americans
that gel in the way of accomplish
ing their real goals.
"But, we're not going to solve
the drug problem until we deal with
poverty in this country," he said.
Lowery said that the temptation for
poor people "who don't see any
other way out" to sell and use drugs
is overwhelming. "Desperation will
drive you to desperate levels," he
said.
"We've got to give our young
people dose after dose after dose of
