Legacy of the Black Power Movement meeting to demonstrate support for the upcoming United Nations World Conference Against Racism

By DR CONRAD W. WORRILL ■ On Nov. 17-19,the December 12thMovement,basedinNew York, and the National Black United Front (NBUF) arc co-sponsoring a Black Power conference in support of the United Nations World Conference Agaiast Racism, which will be held in Durbin, South Africa from Aug. 31 to Sept 7,2001. ' .In our call for this conference we said, “As we celebrate the 75th anniversary qf the birth of El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz, Malcolm X, we heed his call to make oqr struggle a struggle for human rights, to bring our conditions before the court of world opinion.” ‘The United Nations is holding the Third Wodd Conference Against Racism imSouth Africa, Aug, 31,2001 - Sept 7,2001, for 40 million Africans in the United States and millions more in the Caribbean and South America, the fuming issue is the transAtlantic slave trade.” , 11 “Racism is the Achilles heel of the United States, which is why it has opposed the world conference, as have the other Western powers whose wealth was built Qn slave labor. The United States has refused to call a national preparatory meeting for the conference, as they did for the United Nations’ spoasored I Women’s Conference in 1995 in China. Indeed, it has embarked on the same strategy it used against die 1963 March on Washington. They have chosen their loyalists, Black though they may be, to exclude the grassroots, those who heed iMalcolm X’s call for Black Power, land, and independence.” In this connection, the conference will be held at Northeastern Illinois University’s Center fa- Inner City Studies, 700East Oakwood Blvd., Chicago, Illinois. The conference will begin at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 17. The focus of the conference will be to expose the economic roots of racism, I to'organize to stop die attempt at exclusion, and how the millions of us who adhere to Black power are going to South Africa, j • It is important to understand the background to this conference. The United Nations Commission on Human Rights in Geneva, Switzerland, through the Center for Human Rights, established for three years, in 1993, the special rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance. 1 : The Economic and Social Council of die United Nations confirmed this ^mandate and assigned it to Maurice Gtete-Ahanhanzo of Benin. At its 52nd session, the commission, by resolution in 19% expressed its full support and appreciation for the special rapporteur’s work and decided to extend his mandate few a period of three years. Since the establishment of the special rapporteur’s office, Gtete-Ahanhanzo

offices examined racism and racial discrimination in Australia, Austria, Canada, the United States, the Russian Federation, France, Israel, Indonesia, Brazil and

Italy and many other countries.

In 1997, the special rapporteur’s office observed, “that racism and racial discrimination persist in various regions of the world both in their structural, economic and social form and in the form on xenophobia. Theories of racial inequality are raising thdr head while at the same time modem communication technologies, especially the Internet, are being perniciously employed to foment racial hatred, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism.” In this regard, the special rapporteur made a number of recommendations, which have been approved by the General Assembly and the commission. These recommendations are: “(a) to convene a world conference on racism, racial discrimination and xenophobia and (b) to consider action at the international level—beginning studies, research and joint action immediately—over the use of die Internet as a vehicle for racist propaganda.” When we discuss racism, we must beclear on this term that is so widely used by so many people. Through our study groups, over the years, with Dr. Anderson

WALL STREET IN THE BLACK

Worldwide exchange of black-owned publicly traded Companies

Thon^son, we have concluded that racism is “the direct and overall physical and psychotogical subordination and subjection of one racial groupoveranotherfor the purpose of maximum political and ecoionic exploitation which is based on the belief(support^e by religious doctrine or scientific data)that either because heredity (genes, finnily)or culture (social environment) the dominant race in power is sqxrior to the dominated and powerless race.” The manifestation of racism in the Western European world has become institutionalized in a worldwide system ofwhite supremacy. White supremacy continues to haveadevastating impact on African people throughout die world For more information on the Legacy erf the Black Power Movement aid the United Nations World Conference Against Racism National Organizing Conference, contact NBUF at 708-389-9929 a the December 12th Movement at 718-398-1766.

goal shouldbe to makeitavery positive one. A prospective buyer who drives 'past your house should be impressed enough to want to see the inside. When you list your home for sale, you and your agent become partners. When I list a home, I prefer to walk through with the homeowner six to eight weeks before they want it on die market so that we can decide together

prospective buyers to your home. You need to present it in such a charming way that they want to stay. With or without your Realtor, take this step. Grab a notepad and pen, goto the sidewalk and pretend you are visiting your home for the first time. Be critical (they will be). What things do ! you see that need attention and/or reIpair? Take notes. Correct as many fa$ns as you can before you list Reftnjmber, first impressions do count ***(1) Start with your sidewalk and the appearance of your steps, lawn, etc. Trim trees and shmbs. Remove any debris or unused items which distract from a good appearance. Is the mailbox and post in good repair? (2) Check the exterior of the house. Do the eaves need painting? Are the downspouts and splash blocks in place and directing water away from your home? Fertilize your lawn now for a greener yard next spring. -(3)Check the front door. Does it say “Welcome”? Replace ton screens or perhaps repaintthe doors iftheyneedit Make sure doors open and close correctly. Be especially careful that the front entry is clean, clear of cobwebs, and well lighted. ., f4) Interior paint is almost a necessity unless you have repainted in the last year or two. Today’s home buyers are looking for a house which they can move into without any work. They want neutral colors and no wallpaper. - (5) Carpet should be neutral and in gpod condition. At the very least, clean it If it’s olderthan 3 to 5 years, probably replacing it is a better idea. Flooring Services of Indiana at 549-9000 have very reasonable rates. Ask for Gary. , (6) Be sure windows are clean and fynctional. Replace any missingorbroken panes. (7) Aclean and organized kitchen is essential. Please clean the oven (yes, they will look). ;(8) Spariding bathrooms help sell a house, clean or replace grout Check fir leaks at the faucet or under the sink aiff) repair where needed , (9) Organize closets so they appear a*large as possible. Throw away any-. tiring you really don’tneed Box up and put in storage anything you won’t need fpr the next six months. (10)Basementsshouldhaveahandratt. They should also be cleared of dd paused items, then organize what’s lefe Be sure the lighting is goodand get rid of the cobwebs. Should you find any dampness, (determine the cause and fix it now. The most common

reason is poo- landscaping where the yard slopes toward the house facing water to stand and eventually seep into your basement Change the slope away from your house and presto, no more seepage. Whether you are selling yet this year or not until spring, these are good things foryoutodo. It’saloteasiernow than it will be in January or February. The time and money you spend are a good Jnvestrfient. Thfc wbrk’wilFpay foritselfby helping your home “show” well, which usually means a faster sale at a higher price you will be satisfied with.
