THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER SATURDAY, SIP TIM HR I, 1979

One step, 2—on my way as a physician

While some pupils were difficult struggle he faces. But dragging their heels as they he is preparing for it. Eacn

returned to city schools this morning September 4, Benjamin R. John would have run all the way from his home at 2817 North LaSalle Street to Thomas Carr Howe High School - if he could run. But because 16-year-old Benjamin is cer?bral palsied, it took considerable effort for him to get to class, just as it will every school day. He was happy to be back in the classroom. Ben wants to become a doctor and he realizes that every day at Howe High provides him with the opportunity to learn more, and edge closer to his life's goal. Ben’s ambition to help the ill and physically handicapped developed because of his own

condition.

The surgeries he had on groin and leg muscles so he could walk, and the assistance he has received from therapists at the United Way campaign supported Cerebral Palsy Clinic have made Ben want to become a physician. Appreciative of the help he has received has made him desire to use his life to assist others. Fortunately, Ben’s cerebral palsy did not damage his mind. A junior, he is an excellent student at Howe, and particularly outstanding in science. He hopes to earn a scholarship in science which will permit hin^tp attend college. Ben is fully aware of the

evening after school, Ben said, he is generally “occupied with homework until about 11

o'clock."

And in the morning after a night’s rest has restored his energy, Ben will eargerly await the arrival of the school bus which will transport him to Howe, and another day s opportunity to learn. Most importantly to Ben, it will be a day closer to his goal of becoming Benjamin R. John,

insure continued economic ad-

vancement.

has a choice,’she declared. “It may proceed to correct itself or it may await the law,” she said. But, she added, that, with the EEOC newly reorganized and strengthened she would not advise the later

course.

The Weber case was considered a victory for supporters of affirmative action when the court ruled that Brian Weber, who is white, had not been discriminated against when Kaiser Alumimum placed blacks with less senitority in a training program in which wanted to participate. In the case of Alan Bakke, the high court ruled in June of 1978 that Bakke must be admitted to the medical school at the University of California. He had charged he had been passed over because a certain number of slots in the,school had been set aside for minority students. The Weber case, Mrs. Norton said, was "not for business alone" but presented a special challenge to the “much maligned black middle class. "Contradoctory and elevated expections are raised for these new blacks hoisted only yesterday out of cotton fields and ghetto tenements," she said, “and the burden of the first generation black middle class is to offer role model encouragement to blacks to use Bakke to apply to colleges and Weber to apply to businesses." The black middle class, she stressed, generations behind its natural place in American society, “must now be all things to all people at once. “It must bear responsibility for the families that gave them their start and the families they have started, i*>r the ghettos they have lef’ md the suburbs they are trying to open. “It must get into college and beat down those doors for other blacks; it must break down employment barriers, then pull through other blacks in search of opportunity." But. she added, the black poor show signs of becoming the nation’s permanent poor and America must not be allowed to point with pride to the new black middle class each time we point with shame to the poor blacks." She called on America to view the Weber decision as "the last word on quotas and * reverse discrimination" and to consider it a national summons” to end discrimination by the end of the decade.

WASHINGTONFor the first time in the history of civil and economic rights the leaders of National minority trade and professional Associations have united to attack the evils hindering minority economic development. The National Association of Black Manufacturers with other minority organizations have formed an official body entitled the“Economic Rights Coalition." The first task of the Coalition has been to request a meeting with President Carter and his top White House Administrators in an effort to resolve the inability and unwillingness of Federal Agencies to implement Public law 95-507. P.L. 95-507, is the first minority Enterprise legislation signed into law by President Carter last October. Main points of the law include: reorganization of the SBA 8(a) program; filing of a subcontracting plan for prime contractors indicating percentage utilization of minority firms on nonconstruction procurements fo $500,000 and above; and con ferral of bond waiving au thority to the SBA under terms of a two-year pilot program. The Coalition is seeking with the assistance of Congress meaningful solutions to the gross number of problems concerning federal programs designed to foster the development and viability of minority business. In a letter to the President, Congressmen Parren Mitchell (D-Md.), Joseph Addabbo (D.NY) strongly support the need of such a body of organizations to trigger needed results as a means of implementing the law. Suggestions have been made that, if needed, the White House should con sider removal of certain Federal Administrators and/or

their top Aides. “We join with NABM in this request that you and yur senior staff meet with representatives from the Economic Rights Coalition. The difficulties of the Jast 10 months indicates that direction must now come from the highest levels of government,” said the Congressmembers. Eugene Baker, President of NABM, expressed his grave concern to the President over the open and massive resistance to the proper implementation of P.L. 95-507. Baker said, “We have met with officials of these Agencies, voiced our concerns, all of which have been to no avail. We are convinced that at this point and time, the problems alluded to must be dealth with 1 at the very highest level.” - The Economic Rights Coalition is composed of minority and professional trade organizations that have expressed the importance of unity in the critical problems important to minority economic development. Several of the issues relevent to the cause are: the failure of SBA to assume an advocacy role on behalf of minority business enterprise; interference on the part of SBA Administrators in the administration and coordination of Minority Small Business programs; misuse of investigatory powers of federal agencies in an effort to hinder minority firms and, the effects of the President’s reorganization efforts on the minority business community. Four committees have been assigned to deal with addressing these and other problems which the Coalition feels is pertinent to the continuation of minority economic development.
