The Campaign <U- for rv___ Peace with Cuba will host a send o ff potluck dinner and presentation for local res idents joining the Fifth Pastors for Peace Friends Shipment Caravan to Cuba, Monday, June 5 at 7 p.m. at the Portland State University Campus Christian Ministry, at the comer o f S.W. Broadway and Montgomery. At least two Portlanders will be m em bers o f the Caravan: Sarah Rivero, a Cuban-American who has not returned to Cuba since arriving in theU.S. in 1969andJimBrinkmann, who will drive a truckload o f human itarian aid for h is second trip with the A l t e — Pastors for Peace Caravans. Others are encouraged to join the Caravan, which will depart from Portland June 8. D onations o f m edicines and school supplies are invited as well as cash to help sponsor a school bus to be driven to Cuba by caravan partic ipants from Seattle. The Minneapolis-based Pastors for Peace, notorious for their open defiance o f United States policy to ward Cuba and other Latin American countries, lead people-to-people del egations carrying humanitarian aid to Cuba, Chiapas, Nicaragua and r n a t i Guatemala several times each year Their work with Cuba is partic ularly critical at this time, as legisla tion co-sponsored by Sen. Jesse Helms and Rep. Dan Burton threat ens to further tighten the embargo against Cuba. The Campaign for Peace with Cuba opposes the 35-year embargo and encourages people to become more informed on the real reasons for the blockade.

I saacs Ashe, Charles Malcolm, died at 57 years o f age on June 26,1964. He also became an aviation instructor and a licensed physiotherapist. LenaG. Brown died at age 76 on may 27, 1965. She was Democratic, leader for Cleveland's Ward 18 for more than 20 years. She was a former member o f Democratic executive committee, charter member and hon orary life member ofW om en’s Dem ocratic Club o f Cuyahoga County • and founder o f the Negro W omen’s Democratic Club o f Ohio. Austin T. Walden, died July 2, 1965 at age o f 80 years. Austin was a civil rights lawyer, one o f first two Negroes named to Georgia State Democratic Executive Committee in 1963; one o f four Negroes in Geor gia delegation to Democratic Na tional Convention, 1964. Mr. Walden was delegation to Democratic Na tional convention, 1964. Mr Walden was involved in court fights for equal pay for Negro Teachers, Negro voter registration and negotiated peaceful integration o f Atlanta lunch counters. In 1963: three young Black men graduated from the US Airforce Academy: Charles Vernon Bush; Isaac Sanders Payne, IV (Oregon and Roger Sims, these three were the first Negro Cadets at the Air Force Academy which opened in July, 1955. In 1965: Portland, according to the Urban League, was very progres sive in the employment of Blacks in service industries, retail trade, man ufacturing, government, etc. In 1995: We find that Blacks are last hired; first laid-off or fired; and are the least qualified. Where are all the people, especially Blacks, who reaped the benefits o f the Job Corp, Neighborhood Youth Corp, VISTA, Work Study Programs, head Start, Community Action programs. Adult Basic Education and Migrant Work ers Assistance? Are Blacks continu ing to hurdle barriers o f race in their chosen way o f life; or are they set tling for the “shucks on the ear” instead o f the kernels o f com? Are Blacks embracing the “get rich quick: hvpe and schemes which have long range adverse effects on their fami lies, their children’s education, and all to often, create “ life and death” situations for young Blacks, both male and female In 1995: No O p in io n Written but the Supreme Court says that The Affirmative Action Program which allows scholarships to be giv en based on race is deemed unconsti tutional. In 1995: One in three children will grow up in poverty. One in three will drop out o f school; One in three will be abused and one in three will be neglected before reaching adult hood. Percentage-wise, Black chil dren are in a higher risk department; less apt to get a healthy, safe start in life and less apt to be treated fairly than any other American group of children. In 1995: Our US Government has slashed $46 billion in aid to chil dren through cut in foster and adop tion services, through income assis tance to poor children, through childcare and child nutrition O f Course, these cuts affect Black chil dren more than others; these children already suffering the after effects o f government fostered prejudices, dis crimination, and legal inequities; these children who have no health insurance, no help for their parents jobs and no money for childcare, even if parents were given jobs This reduction in services to children is equivalent to a death sentence for a very large num berof Black children A from ofgenocide, since black chil dren are especially at risk. In 1995: The US Government gave to Oregon 5.6 million with which to fight crime. On the surface, very good, but this same government threatens to cut food stamps, housing assistance, childcare allowances and many other services. Tell me. please, where will parents go and what will they do to teed, house ar.d medicallv care for their children0 Will these children be abandoned, or will par ents turn to crime (since no jobs are available) to supply the essential needs o f their families? Oh! but be o f good cheer! Our State and Federal Governments stand ready and able to deter/save the illiterate, starving, homeless, diseased, naked black child from gangs and various other crimes. I see government dictating more and more the private areas of human existence in America, and it worries me, because there is no "God “ in government; no spirit o f the law prac- ticed. Most people in government live lives so far from God that their chil dren think that the woman holding the Christ Child in Leonardo da Vinci’s “Virgin and the Child” is a sitter. We cannot be free, unless all are free We cannot be blessed, unless we are all blessed with mercy, love, justice and happiness. Unite, under God and live, orcontinue the road we travel and suffer annihilation as a race o f people.
