Blacks should be depicted as one of the firefighters than we did about the pain, suffering and loss of African Americans,” said Curry, a former Washington correspondent for the Chicago Tribune. “It’s being vichmized twice: you’re being victimized by the disaster, and then you’re being victimized in a sense that it’s almost like you didn’t share in the suffering and the pain, it’s almost like you’re invisible.” The assertion is one that Curry and others acknowledge would be difficult to quantify and even hazy to define, whether in terms of victim profiles, survivor interviews or other reporting. And it is hardly simple. Using Gold Star’s numbers. Blacks made up about 6 percent of the trade center’s 2,829 victims, a much lower figure than Blacks’ proportion of the overall population. Fairness and Accuracy In Reporting, or FAIR, perhaps the nation’s most outspoken watchdog group, has not addressed the issue. Barbara Cochran, president of the Radio and Television News Directors Association, said that, on an anecdotal basis, she had noticed several interviews on Washington-area stations with

Continued from A1 \ Black survivors of the Sept. 11 attack on the Pentagon, in which 189 people were killed. But Cochran said the issue had never been raised formally in her group, which includes some 3,000 broadcast journalists. And

certainly not all Blacks see the issue in racial terms. “I don’t go by how many Blacks lost their life or how many whites,” said Rose Booker, 61, Sean Booker’s mother. “I feel sorrow for all, including my son.”

Remembering Sept. 11:

By JOSHUA COHEN StafTWriter

With the one-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11, 2001 approaching, many American families will focus on those events. There will be a large amount of media coverage, and images of the tragedy may trigger fear, stress and sadness in some children and adults. Family Service, a non-profit, social service organization believes it is important to prepare fpr this onslaught of emotions. “It will be very hard not to be affected on Sept. 11 with the deep level of emotion and grief that will be present,” said Ruth Bramlage, director of counseling services at Family Service. “The rush of feeling is not unusual or cause for worry, but

people need to be aware and look for a health balance between remembrance and normal routine.” Family Service offers suggestions to families on how to deal with memories. Some of their basic guidelines to cope with the anniversary are to answer all of your children’s questions as best you can, maintain regular routines and let children decide how they want to pay tribute to their memories of loss. Parents can also use help, and Family Services suggests they lead a family dialogue including sharing parent’s own fears, anger and frustration. It is also important to realize there is no wrong or right way to remember. For more information contact Family Service at 634-6341 or visit their website at www.FSACI.org.

Military offers career options

By JOSHUA COHEN StafTWriter “Patriotism takes a lot of heart,” said Staff Sgt. Jessie Cornelius, a Marine recruiter in Indianapolis. Although the different branches of the military. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines, usually have rivalries among them, patriotism seems to be a common thread they all share. Since Sept, i 1,2001, patriotism has taken on a whole new meaning. People have been more willing to do something for the country, and that includes enlisting in one of the military branches. Airman Jerrell Heard, an Air Force reservist, joined shortly after the terrorist attacks last September. He wanted to help America and decided the best way was to join. People should enlist for opportunity, life skills and leadership according to Maj. Gen. Michael D. Rochelle, commanding general of recruiting for the Army. “That is what it’s all about,” said Rochelle. He believes traditionally, the Army has afforded Blacks these three things and built a core of educated, prepared members of society. “Most people who join the military are looking to better themselves,” said Sgt. Haskell D. Portee, an Indianapolis Army recruiter. There are a lot of reasons to join, however, the most important thing to remember is to do it for yourself, said Portee. He believes the worst reason to join is because other people want you to. He has seen people sign up because it was a family tradition to be in the Army, but if a person isn’t doing it for their own reasons, they will not benefit or succeed. Portee’s decision came when he was forced to drop out of college due to financial difficulties. He wanted to be able to compete in the world and reap the benefits of the technology the Army offered. Many people have the mistaken impression that money is enough motivation to sign up, but that is not true, said Cornelius. If you want to make something of yourself, the military is the right place for you. Cornelius admits he originally joined because of the image. He wanted to accomplish something other people were scared to do. “People join the Marine Corps to become a Marine. Period,” said Cornelius. There is no doubt about what a Marine stands for, and it is arguably the toughest branch of the military to make it through initial training. It is important to give back to the country, Cornelius said. Especially in a time where freedom isn’t taken for granted as much anymore.
