HOST TO NSCAR by J.

The occasion was the third National Conference of the National Student Coalition Against Racism (NSCAR) m B.U.'s Hayden Auditorium. The _initial night of the conference, in which internationally known civil rights leaders like lri~b ind~dence.8ctivist Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, Juanita Tyler, mother of Gary Tyler and Clyde Bellacoun of the American Indian movement, was temporarily held up because of a bomb scare. No bomb was found. Other speakers included Thomas Atkins, Robert Allen, editor of Black Scholar, Tom Turner, Joe Madison, executive director of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, Luis Fuentes, Imam Kazana and Herbert Vilakazi.

Carter, p. 4 country, when unified, ~s one of Webster at Jordon Hall By Connie Haith Onyx Staff "I feel like I'm a messenger of some kind and what talent I have, I have to share it .with people around me," said the man who organized and conducts the fifty-piece orchestra and chorus better known as the 'Post-Pop Space-Rock BeBop Gospel Tabernacle Orchestra and Chorus.' This group produces one of the finest musical sounds around today and undoubtedly this successful sound reflects a talented musician, whose years of hard work have developed into something special to hear. The man responsible is Webster Lewis. The sound Webster Lewis crea~d is all the music that he's ever heard and played: jazz, blues, rock n' roll complied into one. He first learned to have an ear for music in a church in Baltimore, where his mother was an organist. At a very early age he started taking piano lessons: "I knew I was interested in playing," said Lewis, "but I didn't know at that point what options were open to me. As far as I knew at that time it was just playing the piano. Lewis, p. 19 Rhonda Cato: a 'beautiful person' by Michael K. Frisby Onyx Staff Springfield - This is the type of small, almost rural city, in which news travels quickly from one black family to another. For the past four weeks, the news spread in barbershops and hairdressers brought tears to many a patrons' eyes. On Oct. 31, Rhonda Cato, a Springfield resident, was shot in the chest by a gunman in Boston. It matters little that the man was aiming at her male friend. For 17 days she lay motionless in Beth Israel Hospital, fighting for her life. Her friends . from Boston and Spdngfield, came to the hospital to be with her family to pray and hope that she could pull through. "We haven't left this waiting room all week,'~ said her brother Robert, "she is still hanging in there.'' But for Rhonda the struggle for life was against unsurpassable odds. The bullet had passed through her aorta and her brain had been deprived of blood. Doctors treating her gave little ·chance of recovery. On Tuesday, Nov. 16th, she died and people in Boston and Springfield, mourned the loss of a 21-year-old woman, who never harmed anyone. Rhonda Cato was a beautiful person inside and out, her friends . say. "She was fun. Someone you could become friends with and she would always stick by you," said Fay Thomas, a Northeastern student, who has been close to Rhonda and her family, since she · was in the 7th grade. "If she disagreed with you, she would let you know, and if 'you asked her opinion, she would let Cato, p. 2 �Juanita Tyler Weber's murder, if they didn't. testify against Gary. Natalie Blank's lawyer, Sylvia Taylor, at that same hearing testified that Judge Marino and Prosecuters Hymel and Pitre had granted Natalie immunity in exchange for her testimony, and that they had refused to put it into writing in order to hide it from the jury. · The problem at the hearing was that in spite of the new evidence, the judge was ·Ruche· Marino, the same judge that had pul Gary on Death Row. He· denied the motion for a new trial. By this time, Mrs. Taylor had gotten a new lawyer, Jack Peebles, to defend her son, and Peebles kept trying for an appeal. Jack Peebles was interviewed earlier this month about Gary's appeal which was heard Nov. 10 in New Orleans before the Lousiana State Suoreme Court. Peebles was asked about the · legal grounds for freeing Gary. "No court now has jurisdiction over him," he said. Peebles explained that under Louisiana law "a juvenile can only be tried in the district court ... in a case in which death was the appropriate penalty. If he didn't receive a capital penalty .the case had to be remanded to juvenile court ... because the Louisiana death penalty was declared unconstitutional, this case should be remanded to juvenile court." Peebles was asked what would be done if the appeal for a new trial was turned down. He answered: "Then our next procedural sU~ p is to a k the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. If they refuse to review it, then we are back starting all over again with a writ of habeus corpus (this requires that a prisoner be I:?rought before a court to decide the legality of his detention) in the state court, a king that Gary be given a new . trial. We hope that it won't have to go that far-." . Gary's mother, Juanita Tyler, has been touring the country trying to get support for Gary. She ha told audiences around the country about the Ku Klux Klan's threats, harassment, and intimidation of her family and Gary's supporters. She' told of the slaying of one supporter, Richard Dunn, after a benefit held in New Orleans this past March. She tells of how she could gl't support nowhere. "A lot of people don't understand today, but the Klansmen are really part of officials and policemen," she said. Mrs. Tyler has explained her own misunderstandin_g by saying: "I thought grown people felt as me. I wouldn't have done their little white kids like that. I just had a feeling that grown people, all black and white, wouldn't tell a lie on a child ... But I found out." At an interview during N.S.C.A.R., Mrs. Tyler said: ''I'm not gonna stop until I get one end from the other to know what's happ~ning, because I feel with my son, I feel that he didn't have justice." She feels that people can help by "talkin' to their neighbors, or in their schools, or write to Gary or writing .to the government ... " Mrs. Tyler best described her feelings and those of her son's supporters at a July 24th rally when she said: "What me and my family has been through for the last two years have not been too easy for us. Please continue to stand by me and fight for Gary ... Just like it was my own ·son, it could be any of your sons." The Louisiana Supreme Court will not rule on Gary's cas~ until at least December 13. If not then, it will be any time after Christmas. In the meantime, Gary Tyler will sit in jail. :' which were divided into two series dealt with a wide range of subiects such as racist deoortations, pollee brutality, community control, the Wilmington 10 case, gays and racism and affirmative action. John Taylor, president of the National Campaign to Aid Friends and Families of Prisoners, discussed racism and prisoners and his personal experiences. Taylor was incarcerated at the · Walpole and Norfolk Correctional Institutions for a four year eight month period. He has been out the p3;5t five years. "Prinsoers are the cornerstones·of the criminal justic system. Without prisoners the _ system would fall," Taylor said. When he entered prison at Walpole, Taylor said, interestingly enough, most of the other inmates were white~ When he left, almost five years later, half the population was black and Spanish-speaking, he said. Taylor indicated that the males of .communities are taken away from where they are needed most. The prison system affects the growth of their communities, he added. "It (criminal justice system), works against itself. The society that it is ' supposed to be working for, works against it," Taylor said. Prison, as defined by the system "is supposed to be rehabilitative, but, "to me, it's very clear that it is punishment," Taylor said. "Prison does nothing," he added. . Also prison has the largest labor force and there are no real . wages involved, Taylor stated. He used making license plates as an example. After a person has worked five years making license plates in prison, he can't find a job outside, he said. Some serious thin king and working has to be done to change this - that's what conferences are all about, added Taylor. In a related matter, NSCAR · drafted a resolution towards abolishing the death penalty. "The death penalty has no place in a humane society. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to legalize capital punishment is overly racist. Historically, the death penalty has been primarily used against blacks and other oppressed nation~ minorities. It is used to terrorize the most oppressed and exploit those who are pushed into crime by hunger and poverty," according to Michael Ponaman, an NSCAR national coordinator. Formed to United Everyone Many groups were formed in the 1960's for many different reasons. Some formed to oppose the war in Vietnam, others formed to firght against domestic problems like pollution and inflation. Many of these groups remain, many more fizzled and others still assimilated themselves into other organizations. NSCAR was formed to "unite everyone - blacks, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, whites - who are willing to join in the fight against racism. After a three-day conference at Boston University in February, 1975, NSCAR was made into a formal organization. Over 2,000 persons from around the country attended the convention. Busing, particularly in the Boston area was the major issue. The group's scope later expanded to other areas including equal education for minorities, budget Cutbacks, freedom for political prisoners and fighting against apartheid in South Africa. NSCAR raises money through contributions and through its speakers bureau. Speakers on the bureau include Robert Allen, editor of Black Scholar M~gazine, author Christine Rossell, Hattie McCutcheon, a member of NSCAR's national staff and Joe Madison. execut~~e ~irector of the Detroit NAACP. According to Vince Eagan, staff manager of· t~e Boston chapter of NSCAR, the seven national coordinators, (previously five) are the leadership body and make policies. The general staff does most of the work though, he said. The highest decision-making body of NSCAR between national conferences is the National Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is responsible for the implementatiol) of national conference decisions and arriving at positions on important issues and struggles that arise between national conferences. Eagan expressed regrets that this year's conference was not as well publicized as they would have liked to: He indicated though that he doesn't expect less than 1,000 persons to attend the conference. The conference was pushing for National"' Day of Student Protests Against U.S. Complicity with Racist Regimes in South Africa" on March 21, 1977. Eagan also said that NSCAR works closely with the women's movement and has participated with them in the Joanne Little and Dr. Kenneth Edelin cases. Eagan compared NSCAR with the "earlier verson" of the former Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). When some people think of SNCC, they think of it as more militant, Eagan said. "We are not opposed to them, but we see the need for multi-racial organizations." Ea, gan indicated that the group will take anybody who will support them. " NSCAR, Eagan said, has 70 to 80 chapters nationally and supporters nomber in the thousands. Reacting to the relative decline in the surge of black awareness that was evident in the 60's and 70's, Eagan said not as many peop1e mme out for demonstrations as they did before. Since 1969 it has been up and down, he said. But, the general political "a consciousness is higher, he added. "If we don't see more massive movements in the future, we're going to get smashed," Eagan said. The existing black leadership generally responds slower as compared with black leadership several years ago, Eagan said. Students Play a Part On the eve of the organization's initial conference at Boston University, ·Maceo Dixon, a national coordinator of NSCAR said then about desegregation, "Students played an indispensable role in supporting and participating in the big marches, boycotts and demonstrations which produced laws making segregation illegal.'' "Today in Boston, the right of black students to ride that bus into areas and schools in the city marked 'for whites only' is' 'threatened by courtroom ploys, rock throwers, the demonstrated potential for mob violence and the crudest form of racist harass' ment," Dixon said. A rally had been planned for April24, 1975 supporting desegregation, but it was forced to cancel because of increased tensions in the "cradle of the American Revolution," according to Mohammed Karimi, an assistant coordinator. Karimi said this during a debate between himself and Mrs. Louise Day Hicks, a Boston city counselor and antibusing proponent. Gayatri Singh, a NSCAR spokesperson has indicated th.at her organization has no official connection with the Committee Against Racism (CAR) whose members had been involved with confrontations with authorities since desegregation began. "We agree with CAR in that they are against racism, but we disagree with the tactics they use. CAR doesn't participate in mass mobilizations like we do," she said. NSC 4 R school desegregation panel , by Diane Reid Onyx Staff "School desegregation is necessary to solve the problem of racism." · , Those words were uttered by Ilene Carter during a panel discussion on 'white flight' held at Hayden Auditorium at Boston University durinj the Nov. 19 to 21 ~eekend. Referring to most of the schools in the South, Mrs. Carter said that those schools that are desegregated, very few of them are integrated. .. Nothing has been done since 1964vben the Civil Rights Act wa passed in respori~ to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s march on Washington," she said. She added th·at' the federal government has not felt that pressure from desegregation leaders since. "The whites are leaving the public schools and putting their children in private schools.'' She added that most white families can't afford to keep their children in private schools so they will eventually return to the public schools. Mrs. Caner pointed to political Mike McCraw Photo leaders -~ .the cause white fligitt. . ~·The political leaders try to take a4vantage of the black people. They just want the bl~k vote at election time,., she wd. Referring to the Boston ~ gregation plan, Mrs. Carter said that the plan is not a busing plan. The parents are less opposed to integration if their .:hildren go to schools closer to home. �

HOST TO NSCAR by J. Monroe Harris Onyx Staff Students from aJI walks of life on the Nov. 19 to 21 weekend gathered at Boston University to discuss and take stands on issues involving racism, sexism and South Africa. The occasion was the third National Conference of the National Student Coalition Against Racism (NSCAR) m B.U.'s Hayden Auditorium. The _initial night of the conference, in which internationally known civil rights leaders like lri~b ind~dence.8ctivist Bernadette Devlin McAliskey, Juanita Tyler, mother of Gary Tyler and Clyde Bellacoun of the American Indian movement, was temporarily held up because of a bomb scare. No bomb was found. Other speakers included Thomas Atkins, Robert Allen, editor of Black Scholar, Tom Turner, Joe Madison, executive director of the Detroit branch of the NAACP, Luis Fuentes, Imam Kazana and Herbert Vilakazi. When she arrived in Boston a day before the conference began, Juanita Tyler indicated that she is waiting for a decision on a new Juanita Tyler NSCAR, p. 2 NSCAR Supporters 'A star is born Juanita Tyler has spent two long years trying to free her son Gary, 18, from jail in Louisiana where he has been in prison since age 16 for allegedly shooting a white youth.

Carter, p. 4 country, when unified, ~s one of Webster at Jordon Hall By Connie Haith Onyx Staff "I feel like I'm a messenger of some kind and what talent I have, I have to share it .with people around me," said the man who organized and conducts the fifty-piece orchestra and chorus better known as the 'Post-Pop Space-Rock BeBop Gospel Tabernacle Orchestra and Chorus.' This group produces one of the finest musical sounds around today and undoubtedly this successful sound reflects a talented musician, whose years of hard work have developed into something special to hear. The man responsible is Webster Lewis. The sound Webster Lewis crea~d is all the music that he's ever heard and played: jazz, blues, rock n' roll complied into one. He first learned to have an ear for music in a church in Baltimore, where his mother was an organist. At a very early age he started taking piano lessons: "I knew I was interested in playing," said Lewis, "but I didn't know at that point what options were open to me. As far as I knew at that time it was just playing the piano. Lewis, p. 19 Rhonda Cato: a 'beautiful person' by Michael K. Frisby Onyx Staff Springfield - This is the type of small, almost rural city, in which news travels quickly from one black family to another. For the past four weeks, the news spread in barbershops and hairdressers brought tears to many a patrons' eyes. On Oct. 31, Rhonda Cato, a Springfield resident, was shot in the chest by a gunman in Boston. It matters little that the man was aiming at her male friend. For 17 days she lay motionless in Beth Israel Hospital, fighting for her life. Her friends . from Boston and Spdngfield, came to the hospital to be with her family to pray and hope that she could pull through. "We haven't left this waiting room all week,'~ said her brother Robert, "she is still hanging in there.'' But for Rhonda the struggle for life was against unsurpassable odds. The bullet had passed through her aorta and her brain had been deprived of blood. Doctors treating her gave little ·chance of recovery. On Tuesday, Nov. 16th, she died and people in Boston and Springfield, mourned the loss of a 21-year-old woman, who never harmed anyone. Rhonda Cato was a beautiful person inside and out, her friends . say. "She was fun. Someone you could become friends with and she would always stick by you," said Fay Thomas, a Northeastern student, who has been close to Rhonda and her family, since she · was in the 7th grade. "If she disagreed with you, she would let you know, and if 'you asked her opinion, she would let Cato, p. 2 �Juanita Tyler Weber's murder, if they didn't. testify against Gary. Natalie Blank's lawyer, Sylvia Taylor, at that same hearing testified that Judge Marino and Prosecuters Hymel and Pitre had granted Natalie immunity in exchange for her testimony, and that they had refused to put it into writing in order to hide it from the jury. · The problem at the hearing was that in spite of the new evidence, the judge was ·Ruche· Marino, the same judge that had pul Gary on Death Row. He· denied the motion for a new trial. By this time, Mrs. Taylor had gotten a new lawyer, Jack Peebles, to defend her son, and Peebles kept trying for an appeal. Jack Peebles was interviewed earlier this month about Gary's appeal which was heard Nov. 10 in New Orleans before the Lousiana State Suoreme Court. Peebles was asked about the · legal grounds for freeing Gary. "No court now has jurisdiction over him," he said. Peebles explained that under Louisiana law "a juvenile can only be tried in the district court ... in a case in which death was the appropriate penalty. If he didn't receive a capital penalty .the case had to be remanded to juvenile court ... because the Louisiana death penalty was declared unconstitutional, this case should be remanded to juvenile court." Peebles was asked what would be done if the appeal for a new trial was turned down. He answered: "Then our next procedural sU~ p is to a k the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. If they refuse to review it, then we are back starting all over again with a writ of habeus corpus (this requires that a prisoner be I:?rought before a court to decide the legality of his detention) in the state court, a king that Gary be given a new . trial. We hope that it won't have to go that far-." . Gary's mother, Juanita Tyler, has been touring the country trying to get support for Gary. She ha told audiences around the country about the Ku Klux Klan's threats, harassment, and intimidation of her family and Gary's supporters. She' told of the slaying of one supporter, Richard Dunn, after a benefit held in New Orleans this past March. She tells of how she could gl't support nowhere. "A lot of people don't understand today, but the Klansmen are really part of officials and policemen," she said. Mrs. Tyler has explained her own misunderstandin_g by saying: "I thought grown people felt as me. I wouldn't have done their little white kids like that. I just had a feeling that grown people, all black and white, wouldn't tell a lie on a child ... But I found out." At an interview during N.S.C.A.R., Mrs. Tyler said: ''I'm not gonna stop until I get one end from the other to know what's happ~ning, because I feel with my son, I feel that he didn't have justice." She feels that people can help by "talkin' to their neighbors, or in their schools, or write to Gary or writing .to the government ... " Mrs. Tyler best described her feelings and those of her son's supporters at a July 24th rally when she said: "What me and my family has been through for the last two years have not been too easy for us. Please continue to stand by me and fight for Gary ... Just like it was my own ·son, it could be any of your sons." The Louisiana Supreme Court will not rule on Gary's cas~ until at least December 13. If not then, it will be any time after Christmas. In the meantime, Gary Tyler will sit in jail. :' which were divided into two series dealt with a wide range of subiects such as racist deoortations, pollee brutality, community control, the Wilmington 10 case, gays and racism and affirmative action. John Taylor, president of the National Campaign to Aid Friends and Families of Prisoners, discussed racism and prisoners and his personal experiences. Taylor was incarcerated at the · Walpole and Norfolk Correctional Institutions for a four year eight month period. He has been out the p3;5t five years. "Prinsoers are the cornerstones·of the criminal justic system. Without prisoners the _ system would fall," Taylor said. When he entered prison at Walpole, Taylor said, interestingly enough, most of the other inmates were white~ When he left, almost five years later, half the population was black and Spanish-speaking, he said. Taylor indicated that the males of .communities are taken away from where they are needed most. The prison system affects the growth of their communities, he added. "It (criminal justice system), works against itself. The society that it is ' supposed to be working for, works against it," Taylor said. Prison, as defined by the system "is supposed to be rehabilitative, but, "to me, it's very clear that it is punishment," Taylor said. "Prison does nothing," he added. . Also prison has the largest labor force and there are no real . wages involved, Taylor stated. He used making license plates as an example. After a person has worked five years making license plates in prison, he can't find a job outside, he said. Some serious thin king and working has to be done to change this - that's what conferences are all about, added Taylor. In a related matter, NSCAR · drafted a resolution towards abolishing the death penalty. "The death penalty has no place in a humane society. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to legalize capital punishment is overly racist. Historically, the death penalty has been primarily used against blacks and other oppressed nation~ minorities. It is used to terrorize the most oppressed and exploit those who are pushed into crime by hunger and poverty," according to Michael Ponaman, an NSCAR national coordinator. Formed to United Everyone Many groups were formed in the 1960's for many different reasons. Some formed to oppose the war in Vietnam, others formed to firght against domestic problems like pollution and inflation. Many of these groups remain, many more fizzled and others still assimilated themselves into other organizations. NSCAR was formed to "unite everyone - blacks, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Asian Americans, Native Americans, whites - who are willing to join in the fight against racism. After a three-day conference at Boston University in February, 1975, NSCAR was made into a formal organization. Over 2,000 persons from around the country attended the convention. Busing, particularly in the Boston area was the major issue. The group's scope later expanded to other areas including equal education for minorities, budget Cutbacks, freedom for political prisoners and fighting against apartheid in South Africa. NSCAR raises money through contributions and through its speakers bureau. Speakers on the bureau include Robert Allen, editor of Black Scholar M~gazine, author Christine Rossell, Hattie McCutcheon, a member of NSCAR's national staff and Joe Madison. execut~~e ~irector of the Detroit NAACP. According to Vince Eagan, staff manager of· t~e Boston chapter of NSCAR, the seven national coordinators, (previously five) are the leadership body and make policies. The general staff does most of the work though, he said. The highest decision-making body of NSCAR between national conferences is the National Steering Committee. The Steering Committee is responsible for the implementatiol) of national conference decisions and arriving at positions on important issues and struggles that arise between national conferences. Eagan expressed regrets that this year's conference was not as well publicized as they would have liked to: He indicated though that he doesn't expect less than 1,000 persons to attend the conference. The conference was pushing for National"' Day of Student Protests Against U.S. Complicity with Racist Regimes in South Africa" on March 21, 1977. Eagan also said that NSCAR works closely with the women's movement and has participated with them in the Joanne Little and Dr. Kenneth Edelin cases. Eagan compared NSCAR with the "earlier verson" of the former Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). When some people think of SNCC, they think of it as more militant, Eagan said. "We are not opposed to them, but we see the need for multi-racial organizations." Ea, gan indicated that the group will take anybody who will support them. " NSCAR, Eagan said, has 70 to 80 chapters nationally and supporters nomber in the thousands. Reacting to the relative decline in the surge of black awareness that was evident in the 60's and 70's, Eagan said not as many peop1e mme out for demonstrations as they did before. Since 1969 it has been up and down, he said. But, the general political "a consciousness is higher, he added. "If we don't see more massive movements in the future, we're going to get smashed," Eagan said. The existing black leadership generally responds slower as compared with black leadership several years ago, Eagan said. Students Play a Part On the eve of the organization's initial conference at Boston University, ·Maceo Dixon, a national coordinator of NSCAR said then about desegregation, "Students played an indispensable role in supporting and participating in the big marches, boycotts and demonstrations which produced laws making segregation illegal.'' "Today in Boston, the right of black students to ride that bus into areas and schools in the city marked 'for whites only' is' 'threatened by courtroom ploys, rock throwers, the demonstrated potential for mob violence and the crudest form of racist harass' ment," Dixon said. A rally had been planned for April24, 1975 supporting desegregation, but it was forced to cancel because of increased tensions in the "cradle of the American Revolution," according to Mohammed Karimi, an assistant coordinator. Karimi said this during a debate between himself and Mrs. Louise Day Hicks, a Boston city counselor and antibusing proponent. Gayatri Singh, a NSCAR spokesperson has indicated th.at her organization has no official connection with the Committee Against Racism (CAR) whose members had been involved with confrontations with authorities since desegregation began. "We agree with CAR in that they are against racism, but we disagree with the tactics they use. CAR doesn't participate in mass mobilizations like we do," she said. NSC 4 R school desegregation panel , by Diane Reid Onyx Staff "School desegregation is necessary to solve the problem of racism." · , Those words were uttered by Ilene Carter during a panel discussion on 'white flight' held at Hayden Auditorium at Boston University durinj the Nov. 19 to 21 ~eekend. Referring to most of the schools in the South, Mrs. Carter said that those schools that are desegregated, very few of them are integrated. .. Nothing has been done since 1964vben the Civil Rights Act wa passed in respori~ to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s march on Washington," she said. She added th·at' the federal government has not felt that pressure from desegregation leaders since. "The whites are leaving the public schools and putting their children in private schools.'' She added that most white families can't afford to keep their children in private schools so they will eventually return to the public schools. Mrs. Caner pointed to political Mike McCraw Photo leaders -~ .the cause white fligitt. . ~·The political leaders try to take a4vantage of the black people. They just want the bl~k vote at election time,., she wd. Referring to the Boston ~ gregation plan, Mrs. Carter said that the plan is not a busing plan. The parents are less opposed to integration if their .:hildren go to schools closer to home. �
