(Continued from page 1 col. 4) great deal more than the story o f successful professionals, and in fact, the attention accorded to these most visible tokens o f success ob scures the enormity o f the challenge facing the vast m a jo rity o f Black women in Am erica. “ We begin to see tw o Black nations: one, the Black poor; and the other, doing in creasingly w e ll,” explains Eleanor Holmes N o rto n . “ Black male- female households under age 40 are at econom ic p a rity w ith whites. These are m ostly people w ith educations. H ow ever, the Black com m unity income as a whole has decreased. The reason has been the grow th o f Black female-headed households.” Confronted with the need to raise c h ild re n alone, themselves often barely more than teenagers who became pregnant in high school and dropped out, these mothers must do the best (hey can in a d iffic u lt situation. And if many o f them are “ emerging” in the process, it is not as lawyers or politicians or artists - but as clerical workers. “ In a single g e n e ra tio n ,” says N o rto n , “ the m a jo rity Black women’ s occupation has changed from dom estic w orker to clerical w o rk e r.” For many Blacks, she adds, " i t ’ s a big step up from rural area or a city ghetto not to have to go in to som ebody’ s kitchen to w ork.” A search has begun to find three local high school students willing to participate in a m in o rity research apprentice program this summer at Portland State University. The program is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research, according to D r. Herman J. M id lio re , Associate Professor o f Mechanical Engineering at PSU. Plans are to allo w the three students to work fu ll time on cam pus during the summer on projects being conducted by Dr. M ig lio re , l)r. W illia m Savery, M echanical Engineering department head, and Dr. Franz Rad, C iv il Engineering department head. M ig lio re ’ s w ork involves com puter graphics and expanding the problem solving capabilities o f the Engineering D ivisio n newly- acquired computer. Savery and Red are investigating other engineering phenomena using experim ental techniques. The student interns w ill be paid a salary while they are at PSU. A p plications w ill be accepted through F rid ay, May I. For more in f o r m atio n, contact Dr. M ilg ilo re at 229-4281 or 229-4631. But that may not necessarily mean great progress. "T h e clerical area is now the m ajor area o f d is c rim in a tio n ,” according to N o rto n , whose term at EEOC brought significant reform s in the discrim ination com plaint process. “ In many cases,” she says, “ women could get more money sweeping flo o rs . Black women have a disp ro p ortion ate stake in clerical w ork, because they often have no other options...” For a tim e, it looked as though the w om en’ s movement m ight provide an answer, but many Black women have reached the same con Hodge, DDS.

Attorney Alfreida Harrell argues that the involvement with feminism may have actually been divisive for Blacks. “ W hite women have enough resources. O ur e ffo rts should be directed towards Black people. We aren’ t able to split our selves among different causes.” The Federal government is backing away. W hite women have utterly d ifferen t problems. A pat tern begins to emerge: I f Black women are m aking it somehow, they are, as Norton put it, “ doing it alone.” And nowhere is th eir aloneness more apparent than in their separation from Black men. “ You look around in the com m unity today,” says Mae Jackson, a Black playwright and counselor at B ro o k ly n ’ s F am ily C ouret, “ and there are only women and children - - no men, yet we grew up assuming we w ould get m arried and have ch ild re n . None o f us thought o f ourselves without a Black man.” “ The whole male-female relation ship is in flu x ” says C arrie Perry, Executive D ire c to r o f Am isted House, a group home fo r troubled teenagers in Hartford, Connecticut. “ It’ s an awkward time for the girls, when you take the diminished Black male population — the young men who are le ft a fte r the numbers in prison , in the service, k ille d , on drugs or homosexual - the girls have to decide how much they are w illin g to give up when the com petition is so great...These attitudes are part o f a long term process.” A nd yet -- w ith o u t the govern ment, without leaders, without allies and without even their men - Black women are somehow enduring. They are raising th e ir ch ild re n, opening and closing the community center, taking those firs t d iffic u lt steps into unglarnorous clerical jobs — honoring the old woman with the hoe. “ Black women have always been the keepers o f the c o m m u n ity ,” says Jan Douglass. “ We are going to have to keep the com m unity together again.” COPYRIGHT 1981 Pacific News Service You can touch him lives ol many more children and men and women who have handicaps by giving to Easter Seals w u J
