Souljah Continued from Page 1 can-American history and American history from Rutgers University, called Bush’s New World Order a consoli dation of all European nations into one integrated system of racism. In a new world order, when people come to America from Eastern Eu rope, she said, they are called politi cal refugees. But when people come from Haiti, Souljah said, they are called economic refugees and arc punished for running away from an oppressive, racist eco nomic system that the U.S. govern ment created. During the question-and-answer period that followed her speech, Souljah was asked about the photo graph of Andrew Scott Baldwin that ran in the Jan. 20 issue of the Daily Nebraskan. Baldwin, a student at the Univer sity of Nebraska-Lincoln, was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman on Jan. 18. Souljah said the Daily Nebraskan ran the photograph for the same mo tives that dominated most of the American media. “They (the Daily Nebraskan) didn’t just do it because of what he (Bald win) did,” Souljah said. “They did it to show you how powerless you are.” Denniston Continued from Page 1 “They do not seek merely neutral revisions in the distribution of gov ernmental power. What they want, with equal if not greater fervor, is to increase the possibility that when the government acts, it will be able to do so in ways that advance their visions of ‘moral correctness.’” This attitude is not limited to Washington, he said, but is pervasive in the American community. “Let there be a morally ‘permis sive’ activity occurring in any com munity in the nation, and there will arise, soon rather than late, a gesture or a movement to use law to impose ‘moral correctness’ upon it,” he said. Denniston warned that using the law to enforce morality on society could be dangerous. Educator says fear of issues delays introduction of solutions By Jared Wittwer Staff Reporter Every 20 years, a major issue such as civil rights will be put on the back burner, an education official said Wednesday afternoon. Maurice Tate, principal of Father Flanagan High School in Omaha, said people were scared to confront major issues. “Why is it that people, both black and white, are afraid to talk about issues?” Tate said. “People need to know about themselves.” Tate was a panelist for a discus sion after the “Beyond The Dream IV” videoconference Wednesday at the Nebraska Union. About 120 people attended the conference and discus sion, which were part of the Univer sity of Ncbraska-Lincoln’s Black Homecoming Week celebration. Tate said African-Americans should celebrate Black History Month to “know where you have come from, who you arc and where you are going.” John Harris, special assistant to the vice chancellor for student affairs at UNL, agreed. “We are in a society where learn ing about anything but ourselves is the norm,” Harris said. Anne Scott, an assistant principal at Lincoln East High School said that, as an African-American female, she thought she constantly was being tested. People must put aside their fears of existing with human beings of dif ferent races and cultures, she said. Keith Parker, UNL assistant pro fessor of sociology, said black com munities must redefine the concept of home. The scope and concept of home, he said, must be expanded beyond the immediate family and into the neigh borhood. Prominent leaders, especially Af rican-Americans, Parker said, have a responsibility to their communities. “We have an obligation to those' less fortunate than ourselves,” he said. “Often those of us who attain a level of success fail to recognize those who helped us there.” Topics of the two-hour videocon ference included the influence of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr., the absence of African-American history in public schools and Afro centric curriculum on campuses, and black identity in a white environ ment. “Beyond the Dream IV” was broad cast live via satellite to more than 200 colleges and universities nationwide. The videoconference featured panel ists such as Alex Haley, the award winning author of “The Autobiogra phy of Malcolm X” and “Roots,” and Barbara Reynolds, a USA Today columnist. -1 “BY REQUEST” HERE, “BY REQUEST’: YOUR LATEST CLINIQUE BONUS.
