Pag* 4 Portland Observar February 20.1181 Pierce joins Emanuel staff Emanuel’ s H ealth Care Psy chology Department grew to five with the addition o f Diane Pierce, PhD . Anise Hell, resident of the Hollywood area, teaches slim and trim exercises for Portland Com m unity College. Exerise brings health, beauty Anise Hall is a successful P ort land model who plans to share her secrets to maintaining a trim figure in a Portland Community College exercice class starting Monday, March 30, from 7:30 to 8:30 at Alameda School. The dance exercise class will con tinue on Mondays and Thursdays for ten weeks. Cost is $ 17. Ms. H a ll, a H ollyw ood d istrict resident, has been a familiar face in major department store advertising in P ortland fo r more than seven years. ‘ ‘ It’ s hard w ork,” Ms. Hall said. She keeps trim with a half hour o f dance exercises daily plus a h a lf hour of jogging. She said she does not like exercise which involves a lot o f jum ping m otions, but prefers the graceful fluid motions o f the dance exercises which she has developed over the years. The flowing motions o f her exercise look more like a ballet dan cer than a gym workout. Ms. H a ll said she believes that improved diet habits must accom pany good exercise in order to achieve and maintain a good figure. ‘ ‘ I also lean to the natural foods,” Ms. Hall said. “ I avoid red meat and prefer chicken and fish plus lots o f vegetables.” Ms. Hall said that men as well as women are welcome in her class.

Duke: In your opinion, what are some o f the issues facing Afro- Amencans today? K ing: I think one o f the basic issues facing us today is that if we are not able to provide a decent job, at a decent wage, for all people who are willing and able to work, that we are going to continue to have the kinds o f unrest, the kind o f violence that we see in this country today. I t ’ s interesting that the Ku Klux Kian is emerging in this period. I realize that it’ s not a Black or white issue but an economic issue. Poor whites are feeling the clench and crunch as well as Blacks and other m inorities in this country. As a result, they’ ve been conditioned to blame it on Blacks and whoever else. W hat we are going to have to do is implement the Humphrey- Hawkins full employment bill which is going to be d iffic u lt since the Republicians are against it. Their priority is to balance the budget. Duke: During the 60s your father was pitted against Malcom X, do you in any way, feel that they were truly rivals? King: “ Malcom said that what he really was showing America what the alternatives were if they decided not to fo llo w the pretext to my King: Certainly that had a lot to do with it. My father said that when President Kennedy was assassinated that if he kept on going at the rate he was, he would end up the same way. He realized it and unfortunately that’ s the case when you stand up for right you have to be w illing to lay down your life. W'hen it began to be a much broader issue, and when he began to move in to the N orth, that the movement took on w orld wide implications. This is when the focus or whomever decided that it was quite enough. Duke: During the 40s and 50s when your fa th e r's tactics were gaining momentum, one o f the main forces that stood in his way was the Philosophy o f States rights and today with the current ad ministration this term pops up as a solution. Is this sentiment one we should be concerned with?" King: U nfortunately, th a t’ s one o f my biggest concerns. I don’ t worry about his cuts although these cuts will affect a lot o f people. What could be even more dram atic in terms o f directly affecting peoples’ lives are the decisions that the various states make. There w ill be some that w ill do very well and others w ill take the opportunity to take back many o f the things that they were forced to have to concede because o f the civil rights act.

Now we see groups like the Moral Majority using religion to maintain the status quo. ff'/i y the change over? ROUND STEAK King: I don’t think there has been much o f a change in the way religion is being used. The people who are in the Moral M ajority who use religion that way are ju st com ing out. Historical religion and its practice for Black people has been very d if ferent from the way it’ s practiced by whites. This shows that there are at least two different interpretations o f "C hristianity.” Duke: What advice could you give our younger readers? King: l think its important for us to realize that if anything is going to happen, we have got to make it happen. People are not going to hand us anything. In fact, Reagan may take away what little people have. It may be good because people are forced to do som ething, they end up doing very little. We got the energy to carry it on. Instead, we get what we can get, and sit on the can. Our generation feels that we don’ t have any dues to pay, and we do. Too much has been done to provide us with the opportunity to do things that we take for granted. Just 20 years ago we couldn’ t just go to any movie, or just any club or restaurant. Please people, you have got to pay some dues so that we as a race can stay on the move.
