Best-selling author and former Oregon law school dean Derrick Bell returns to Portland to do a reading/ concert for the release o f his new book. Gospel Choirs: Psalms o f Sur vival in an Alien Land Called Home. He will be a c c o m p a n ied by Emmanuel Temple Church Choir The event is scheduled for 7.00 p.m., October 9, at PCC Cascade, Cascade Hall, 705 N. Killingsworth. A $5.00 donation is requested. W riter and civil rights lawyer Derrick Bell has never been one to back away from or avoid controver sy. In his latest book. Gospel Choirs, Bell confronts the growing “white rage” and the inevitability o f racism in this country and chai lenges Amer icans—black and white—to rethink our basic assumptions about the rela tion between the law and race. According to Bell, racial equality may be a legal imperative, but in today’s explosive economic and po litical climate, the law alone is woe fully ineffective in guaranteeing pro tection o f black people’s rights and well being. African Americans are both bear ing the brunt o f unemployment and the anger o f many whites who, fear ful fortheirow njobsand future well being, are convinced that the black population is at the heart o f their problems. In this “environm ent o f black blame," Bell contends, "the tradi tional sources o f relief—the courts and the political process-are not like ly to prove useful.” Chauncy Rae McCleary, girl 5 lb. 9.4 oz.-18", 9-11-96 Mother: Misty Anne McCleary Divorce Hurts!
