“ The Ballot or the B ullet,” one o f
the few speeches which M alcolm X h im ­
self titled, addresses his philosophy o f
black nationalism, encouraging African
americans to back their personal p o liti­
cal concerns w ith their economic re­
sources. “ His views should not be taken
lig h tly ," warns Lange. “ He urged us to
take political and economic control o f
our communities. We must finish the
race he was running.”
M alcolm X rose to national prom i­
nence as the leader o f the Black M uslim
movement. Once labeled “ the angriest
man in American,” his revolutionary
rhetoric branded him an advocate o f
violence, but he was deeply committed
to freedom and self-actualization for
blacks.
Michael Lange has written several
plays and he is a documentary film pro­
ducer. He is currently a drama instructor
at M errett College in Oakland, C alif. His
brother, Ted Lange, appeared regularly
an the television series “ The Love Boat” .
His father performed at the Ebony Show­
case Theatre in Los Angeles. But it was
Alex Haley, author o f “ Roots” and “ The
Autobiography o f M alcolm X ,” who first
remarked that Lange’ s appearance and
gestures resembled those o f M alcolm X.
Since then, Lange has recreated the c iv il
September 2 4 - A n experimental
program that has succeeded in turning
one troubled high school around could
provide a model o f change for troubled
high schools across the country.
This Sunday’ s Parade magazine re­
ports that the program, called “ Security
Dads,” begun last year to maintain order
in A rlington High School in Indianapo­
lis, a school plagued for years by gangs,
guns, knives and fear, has accomplished
considerably more than its original goal.
“ Security Dads” was started by Linda
Wallace, a nurse whose daughter attends
A rlington, when she asked her husband
Antony to accompany her to a school
event to see i f his presence would bring
some semblance o f order.
“ We had a football jamboree,” Mrs.
Wallace recalled, “ and the students were
yelling, throwing things from the stands,
walking out on the field, and the parents
were taking their kids and leaving. Then
came a talent show and, again, the kids
were so rowdy, it was unbelievable. They
hollered and screamed. We couldn’ t
handle it. We had to stop the show. The
police had to come and get kids out o f

Anthony Wallace talked to the kids
“ w ith respect, and they listened,” Linda
Wallace recalled. “ He did n ’t yell or
cuss. He treated them like they were his
own kids. It was fantastic.”
It was also clear that a void in the
lives o f many youngsters, created by an
absence o f fathers, was being filled.
“ The kids respect us, and we respect
them,” explained Carl Black Sr., one o f
the Security Dads.
“ What works is that father image,”
added Ron Cheney, “ so we don ’ t need to
say very much. Just being there is what
counts. W ith an officer, they think, ‘ Hey,
I must be in trouble." W ith us, they smile
and say, *hey, what’ s up?’ And we love
