for the C hildren's March f 01
Survival In Washington, D .C .,
Saturday, M a r c h 25, 1972,
which w ill be the occasion lo r a
lieaceful, dram atic endeavor
to m ark the beginning of a ma
jo r action campaign to ietnove
tlie causes of problems that
have fo r so long victim ized
poor children.
Ihe March w ill le led by
M rs . Coretta King, two of her
children and M rs . Beulah San
ders (Chairman, executive
Board, National W e lf a r e
Rights Organization), and tier
tlitee chlldien.
We know, of course, that
when we sjeak of problems
from poverty, hunger, malnu
tritio n , [>oor schools, p o o r
health, inadequate housing,
and exploited environment,
racism, ami the war, we are
speaking about tlie suffei ingof
many, many Black children.
We k n o w , also that the prob
lems that have kept our Black
Brothers and Sisters im p ri
soned fo r so long in rural ami
uiban decay have not hail tlie
genuine concern of those peo
ple who are responsible to all
citizens of the United States,
I hroughout the years, no p ri
o rity has been given to re
solute answers that would re
move these shameful condi
tions.
A ll of the poor children,
cer tainly, a re not B la c k .
I h e r e are p o o r children
among the Indians, Chicanos,
Whites, ami Spanish-speaking
Americans.
Never - the - less, much has
been said of intentional geno
cide of Black people in the
United States. Ihe whitepow-
ei structure denies t h i s, or
coui se. I he prophecies, how
ever, of Black genocide are
becoming events that are liap-
jening in this country every
day.
Ihe cycle of jiast oppression
must le broken; the possibility
of B la c k genockie must fe
stopfied. Ihe torch fo r true
freedom must lie passed on to
<xji Black children. We are re
minded of the present coui se
Black Sisters and Brothers
have I inally chosen: tonolong-
ei 1« le c ond , third, and no
■ class citizens; to no longerask
foi justice; to no longer he
ashanieil of skin color - but
ra tlie i, to le together; to stay
together - m total demands,
foi tie same justice ami tie
same ojiportunities that are
the equal rights of all A m eri
cans.
It is In keeping with th e s e
resolutions, that th e Child
ren s March fo r Suivlval w ill
happen. I lie March w ill otter a
day of festivity fo r the child
ren - and w ill he one e ffo rt to
begin a year of action to save
tlie hlldren, - and insodotng,
save A m erica's Black child
ren.

It’s Your Navy
What, no questions this
week? Come on, I like to fie
challenged
Since theie aren’ t any |ues-
■
t'zo y. I ’ ll take tins
chance to pi jg a relatively new
program
called P r o j e c t
BOOST.
A successful third year at
the Project BOOST School has
resulted in expansion from 40
students in the present enroll
ment to 100 in the coming year.
P roject BOOST (Broadened
Opportunities for O fficer Se
lection and I raining; is dedi
cated to putting more m inority
fa c e s behind the Naval of
fic e r's uniform .
T he objective of tie pro
gram is to bring under p riv i
le g e d , culturally - Jepr ived
personnel to a level at which
they can compete equally with
th e ir peers.
Selected members of racial
m in o ritie s w ho have demon
strated potential, yet haven't
the necessary qualifications to
he accepted fo r an officer can
didate program, are firs t sent
through the enlisted man's ba
sic school. On completion, en
rollm ent in BOOST's academ
ic program w ill allow him
time to meet those qualifica
tions' requirements.
The
success of Project
BOOST can he measured by the
success of individuals who
have completed tie program.
To date, 45 future officers who
have completed training with
BOOST are enrol led in col
leges
and u n i v e r s i t i e s
throughout the country.
P roject BOOST has been de
scribed as " fa v o r itis m " . . .
"d iscrim in a tio n in reverse."
According to LieutenantCom-
mander Rudy Glivens, the Of
fic e r in Charge of BOOST, it
is simply "unequal opportu
nity through which these men
can gain an equal opportu
n ity ." It is equality with a
chance to catch up.
