WASHINGTON (NNPA) — With the start of the 30th anniversary Congressional Black Caucus convention this month,

the CBC’s opening press confer-

ence was mirrored in an early morning town hall meeting hosted by members of the national Black leadership and aired on Tom Joyner’s syndicated morning radio show. The two events, one led by

Black political leadership and the

other by Black media and community leadership, echoed

the notion that African-American

issues must be brought to the forefront of national election platforms and that Black voters, now more than ever, must show

their political clout. Joyner’s morning radio

program, broadcast to more than 8 million listeners, was attended by the Rev. A1 Sharpton, Joyner commentator and “BET Tonight”

host Tavis Smiley, Johnnie Cochran, NAACP President Kweisi Mfume and others who discussed police profiling, school vouchers and election 2000. “You’ve heard us say ‘party with a purpose,”’ Joyner, who suspended his music and comedy bits for the special morning program, said. “This is purpose

without the party.”

The event, held at a local

Washington nightclub, registered

more than 100 new voters in addition to drawing feedback from listeners nationwide. Hours later, CBC chairman Rep. James E. Clybum opened

the 30th annual CBC Legislative Conference by noting the efforts put forth under his tenure as chair and thanking CBC members for

their work on issues ranging from environmental justice to

digital divide. This year’s theme — Tools for 2000: Launching a

issues. '

Throughout most of his : ,,,r remarks, Clybum noted that ; ^ although mainstream media did ' 1w not recognize much of the i' 1 ** initiatives put forth by the CBC/ y(> their impact has been made. ^ “We recovered $3 million in ‘ our efforts around suits brought t ''' , by Black farmers,” Clybum said.^ “And if things continue at this rate, Black farmers could receiver’^ up to $1 billion in restoration rn ‘ monies. But that has not been publicly reported.” ^ He noted the same pattern • < ’ with housing and Title VIII r ‘ 1; ' programs where the CBC called'- ,r for those funds to be used towai9 v down payments on ' homeownership for constituents. “Bush adopted our plan as part dP* his campaign platform,” Clybum said. “And now yesterday. HUD

made it part of its policy.” Clybum also addressed the census and Black political

representation, the judiciary, , LJi environmental justice, police J brutality. North Carolina flood ^jj relief, new markets initiatives and other issue-oriented and , , n9 developmental projects address^ by the CBC over the past year. At the start of what is being ^ recognized as the largest celebr^ tion event in CBC history, U.S. Rep. Eva Clayton, D-N.C., cal^j on media and participants to a" recognize the “fun and fellow- ^ ship of CBC convention^” but to 4 be aware that the issues will be , L discussed aggressively. The iOQfo elections will cause many leaders to work together formally and *., informally to address voter ; ^ turnout in November. , “We have a lot to celebrate,’,’ .., said U.S. Rep. Eddie Bernice-. ,,j Johnson, P-Texas. “But on ^,|

to complete.” , ,, . owl , tlJ Johnson listed three fomms oq j technology, five on education ,, a forums, one on agriculture and , tl j 14 on civil rights and justice

issues as a sampling of the

conference’s strength. She also noted a newly added finance

pavilion aimed at bringing

venture capitalists together with Black businesses in efforts to

gain funding.

Veteran journalist Askia Muhammad, a White House correspondent for the Final Call, saw the CBC’s program as ambitious. “Unlike some of the past conventions, there are some good initiatives with this conven-

tion.”
