"Wa o r* mohing oor Noighborhood A brotherhood'
by Reverend Ito/ell Gilmore,
Program Director. AM A
Things are happening in
Albina and too many of these
things are unwholesome and
unhealthy.
First of all, prostitution
has become an accepted way
of life in Albina, in deed if
not in word. Young women
who could be training for a
professional career or a skill
job are (wing influenced into
a life of prostitution, drugs
and other illegal activities.
Next, drugs are fastly, if
not already, becoming a way
of life in Albina. A visit to
the state hospitals, correc
tional institutions and county
correction institutions will
confirm this fact.
Another ill of Albina is the
Isaac Hayes
Black Moses',
Shaft and Super Fly influ
ence.
Too many of our
young males and females see
these "actors" as the heroes
of the new Black generation.
All of us can understand that
each generation of youth
goes through a state of hero
worship, but these kinds of
heroes should be of great
corn to the Christian church.
Is this the kind of leadership
we desire for our coming
generation? Is this the kind
of life style we want for our
children and grandchildren?
What is this new influence
saying to us who claim to be
men of God?
We also are faced with an
increase of violent crime of
all kinds in Albina.
The
recent wave of murders that
is taking place on women in
the area is a typical example.
In the field of education
we are aware of the fact that
too many of our children are
not motivated to learn the
lessons necessary for a sue

I ran also agree that there
are many good things to be
said about Albina. We have
witnessed better opportune
ties developed for our people
over the last decade. We see
a larger percentage of our
youth attending college and
e n te rin g professional life
where it counts.
We see
young couples trying to raise
their families so Albina and
the world can be proud of
them.
W ith all this progress how
ever, we still have a long
way to go. Especially is this
so in the area of spiritual and
moral values. I believe Al
bina is at the crossroad, and
the way we will go in the
future will depend to a large
extent on what the Christian
community does. We can sit
by and see this community
become a south side Chicago,
or we can take on the re
sponsibility of leadership and
make Albina a place where
anyone will be proud to live
and raise a family.

blame to the teachers, the
establishment, racism and you
name it.
Hut we must be
willing to face the fact that
there are too many parents
in Albina who are not doing
anything to motivate their
children toward education.
To the contrary, many par
ents are helping create cli
mates which prevent their
children from learning or
wanting to learn
T h e question again is,
"W hat can the church do to
bring about a desire on the
part of these homes to moti
vale their youth toward edu
cation?”
A t this point you might be
wondering why all the nega
tive talk about Albina? Isn't
this the kind of message we
have heard for years gone
by? Isn't this the kind of
thing we are trying to elimi
nate? I can agree that this
has been a negative ap
proach, but it is for a reason.
