mke blasts regression in civil rights
By Kein Hanken
Former California Conetesswoman Yvonne Braithwaite
Buike. addressing a small group in the Nebraska Union
Ballroom Wednesday night, stressed the existing pattern
of achievement, then regression, regarding the civil rights
and social status of blacks, women and minorities in
this country,
Buike was the opening speaker of the Fighth Annual
G.I.. Hendricks Symposium, sponsored by UNL's De
partment of Political Science. The theme for this year's
program is "Affirmative Action: Race, Sex and Inequality
in America."
I'M Chancellor Martin Massengale, in welcoming
Burke and her guests, said he, as a scholar and admin
istrator, sees the symposium as an opportunity, to learn
and participate in the Affirmative action program.
Burke, the Los Angeles Times' Woman of the Year,
said she began her career with the 1960s' civil rights
movement and can remember well the words of Martin
Luther King : "Progress never rolls in on the wheels of
inevitability."
"Tonight's subject is one that is indeed challenging,
and these are challenging times," Burke said. "We can
never assume that even though we have achieved gains
in the areas of social rights that that will always be."
Burke cited the history of the black politician as an
example. The black politicians of the Reconstruction era
were more educated than President Lincoln, she said, but
they were forced from the political scene by the "corrupt
compromise" of President Hayes and Southern white
politicians. Jim crowism.the deterioration of the 14th
Amendment and an era without participation of blacks
in the political process resulted, she said.
Today, 21 members of Congress are black, Burke said,
so the black politician has seen a full cycle, from achieve
ment to regression to achievement.
In 1925, two women served as state governors in the
United States, but now women have been removed from
the higher levels of the government, she said. Burke's
election to Congress in 1972 made her the first female
representative from California in 20 years, and the first
black woman representative ever.
Buike said she sees the Reagan administration's re
cent appointments of women to the government as a
means of combating a 5 1 percent loss in the women's
vote it incurred. Reagan is doing the kinds of things
that will place women in the lower levels of government.
Buike called the appointments the type of "media
campaigning" that top-level government personnel have
mastered. The uninformed voter who is undecided at
the polls will have access to literature stating that the
Reagan administration has had more women in its gov
eminent than any other government, Burke said, and it's
those types of things that are decisive for that voter,
not the real issues.
L'ducation probably represents the one place where
a closing gap between blacks and whites really exists,
Burke said. There have been tremendous increases in
the number of minorities entering college, she said. While
that statistic has not decreased, there has been a slight
reduction in their entrance to the medical and law
schools, she added.
Burke said the economy and the cutbacks in financial
aid, as well as the lack of commitment by many institut
ions to Affirmative Action, are to blame for those de
creases. If a white candidate who has been denied admittance
into medical or law college sees a woman or a minority
accepted, he blames affirmative action, Burke said.
Those impressions hurt the program, she said.
Burke said that the government has a requirement to
ensure a certain level of employment. It has the means
of stimulating industry, she said, but instead, national
tax and trade policies have pulled us away from using
the American work forces.
Burke said she felt it was a national disgrace that a
33 percent unemployment rate in the steel industry
could exist while the government imports as much steel
as it does.
