balloon riding the hot air over Washington.” The second is because the nation is, the article continued, “starving for leadership and Powell oozes with leadership qualities.” In the words of George Hammell, a white, retired Army command sergeant major from Columbus, Ga.: “You know, I hope Powell gets elected president. He’s the only one I know who could bring this country together. Hell, even the rednecks would vote for him.” In a recent U.S. News national poll, Powell’s approval ratings have climbed steadily from 62 percent to 71 percent of registered voters, while his disapproval ratings have fallen from 11 percent to slightly less than 5 percent. And although he has never run for public office, the polls also say that 50 percent of the Republican respondents and 44 percent of both Democratic and Independent respondents say Powell should run for president. Further, in a three-way race with President Clinton and Senate Majority Leader Robert Dole (RKansas), Powell would carry the biggest electoral prize of all, California, and finish in a dead heat with Dole in vote-rich Texas. “The key to this (exploratory committee) thing is that if we hadn’t made the move now, it wouldn’t be happening,” Haselrig, 72, a contractor from Johnstown, Pa., who makes his home in suburban Washington D.C., told the National Newspaper Publishers Association. “This is strictly a grass-roots campaign.” Haselrig, a Republican, is not new to pushing Black candidates for president. In 1976, he became the prime mover behind an ill-fated attempt to get former Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Edward Brooke nominated for the

presidency. “I always felt that Powell had the making and trappings to be considered a candidate,” Haselrig explained. Thus, on June 17,1994, Haselrig launched the exploratory committee without Powell’s permission. But he is in close contact with Powell’s closest assistant, who has not dissuaded Haselrig’s efforts. Since then, Haselrig and his close associates have divided the nation into 10 regions and have started campaigns in all 50 states. The former general’s personal history is one of the factors behind his meteoric rise. Powell served as the 12th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from October 1989 to September 1993, under presidents Bush and Clinton. He was bom in New York City on April 5, 1937. He graduated from Morris High School in the Bronx and later graduated from City College of New York. While at CCNY, he participated in the Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, where he was commissioned as a second lieutenant upon his graduation in 1958. Powell served two tours in Vietnam. He also was a battalion commander in Korea from 1973 to 1974. He later commanded the 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division and V Corps in Europe. Prior to being named chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Powell served as commander in chief, Forces Command, headquarters of which is in Fort McPherson, Ga. Powell is married to the former Alma Vivian Johnson of Birmingham, Ala. They have one son, Michael, and two daughters, Linda and Annemarie.

block was an enormous group of people. The farther I walked up the block, the more workers I encountered. I felt as though I was in a maze of confusion. I walked in a tent where I had to read information relative to Habitat, sign a waiver, and met several new people. By 10 a.m., Winthrop Street was down to one lane. Plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, politicians, church folks, volunteers with food, media personnel and the plain curious were on hand. Each house was managed by a general contractor and was overseen by a Habitat coordinator. There was a labor pool furnished by the general contractor and project volunteers. As I stood there, I did not know where to aim my camera. I did not know where to direct my attention. Giving was at its highest and sharing, I trust, will continue on that block for years to come. I met one lady who will occupy

one of those houses. She hammered nails, taped seams, moved walls and carried supplies along side of us. I spoke with Christel DeHaan, CEO of RC1, the day before the houses were built. 1 expressed enthusiasm for people like her to create opportunity for others and to engage in community action. When the conversation ended, it was not what she said that inspired me, it was what she did. Christel motioned her hand as if she had a hammer in it. What a thought! Large businesses can supply the capital to start a project, but it must be “worked” by a pool of laboring men and women, men and women who put “sweat equity” behind the swinging hammer. 1 may not live in that house I helped build on Winthrop street. But as long as 1 live and drive past that house, I will realize I can make a difference.
