Strategies for coping with barri
ers to equal opportunity created by
the assault on affirmative action will
be the focus o f Blacks In Govern­
ment’s (BIG) 17th Annual National
Training, conference set for August
20-25, 1995 in St. Louis, MO at the
Adams Marks Hotel, 4th and Chest-
nut Streets.
The theme o f the conference is
“ Leadership, Excellence, Equity:
Gateway to Tomorrow’s Challeng-
Oscar Eason, Jr., President o f
the national organization, said the
conference will focus on the effect of
recent developments on equal op­
portunity. “The Supreme court deci­
sion against affirmative action, ef­
forts to overturn affirmative action
programs at the Congressional and
state levels, combine to create a cloud
over the future o f those who are still
seeking equal opportunity in the
workplace. It calls for a greater un­
derstanding o f the law and how to
apply it to the kind o f obstacles Afri­
can American government workers
encounter.”
The session will include topics
related to the future o f affirmative
action, career development in an era
o f reinventing government, new tech­
niques for conflict resolution, cultur­
al rapport, the Republican/Democrat-
ic vision for Black America, and
African American history from a
Post-Reconstruction perspective.
Among the invited speakers who
will be asked to speak to these issues
are Commerce Secretary Ron Brown;
Housing and Urban Development
Secretary Henry C isneros; Congress­
man William L. Clay; Congressman
Donald L Payne, Chairman, Con­
gressional Black Caucus; the Rever­
end Jesse Jackson; Mayor Emmanual
C leaver. Mayor o f Kansas City, M O .;
Senator Carol Mosely Braun (D-IL);

the project and is seeking the balance
o f the funding as loans from the City
o f Portland’s “Housing Trust Fund”
and the Portland Development Com­
mission. A number o f neighbors and
public officials who have seen the
plans praise the project as a transit-
friendly flagship development that
will bring jobs, housing and shop­
ping opportunities back into the
neighborhood.
Reed, a private builder and de­
veloper with offices on MLK, has been
building new housing in the area since
1991 without public subsidies.
Reed employs more than 40 peo­
ple, about half o f whom live in north

Bringing Computer Tech­
nology To The African
American Community
For the past 20 years, the com­
puter industry has rapidly developed
from the mainframe system to high
class personal computers with virtu­
al reality capabilities. Although com
puter technology is moving at a rapid
pace, the computer revolution has
been slow in coming to the African
American community.
One o f the challenges facing our
community is keeping abreast o f the
vast amounts o f new technology and
developments that are introduced
each year. Have no fear! There is a
new book on the market that was
written specifically for African Amer­
icans. It not only covers computer
basics, it also informs us about why
we should leam about the future o f
computer technology.
Don’t Be Left in the Dark! is a
very easy reading book that provides
basic computer information in a for­
mat that allow readers to absorb in­
formation quickly and easily!
Don’t Be Left In The Dark! is
the first book written by Renard
Hudson, President o f Startup & Sur­
vival. “By writing this book, I seek to
challenge and inspire African Amer­
ican leaders across this country to
bring computer technology to their
community!”
You can obtain a Free copy o f
Don’t Be Left in the Dark! by calling
(409)943-4813 for additional infor­
mation.
