But the nation still has a long way to go to ensure all children have access to high-quality education, said Jeanetta Williams, president of the Salt Lake City branch of the NAACP. Williams, who _ recently attended a national NAACP educational summit in Topeka, Kan., said Monday that equal educational opportunity is the “heartbeat of democracy. ” Citing figures from the new | 40 A Je Years and Beyond: NAACP has outlined 13 areas of improvement for the nation’s education that will start in 2005, said Edward White, president of the NAACP’s tri-state conference for Idaho, Nevada and Utah. Utah is participating in the plan. The items of highest priority are resource equality, teacher training and high stakes testing, White said. Williams said the NAACP is Too few minority teachers By Deborah Bulkeley Deseret Morning News concerned about high dropout rates among black and His- panic students and is looking at ways to keep them in school. She said achievement gaps between white and minority students have widened since the mid-1980s. “In order for students of color to obtain jobs with adequate pay, they need to get that education,” she said. Richard Gomez, educational equity coordinator for the State Office of Education, said Utah’s schools are working to close that gap through achievement programs targeted at minority, low-income and female stu- dents. He said the state_is _ OGDEN — It took veteran black educator Dovie Goodwin three years to get a job teaching at Pingree Elementary School in the late 1950s. Back then, her race kept her out of the mostly white classrooms of Ogden School District. Today, the state’s classrooms are struggling to keep pace with increasing diversity, and schools can’t hire minority teachers fast enough. Fifty years after the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed segregation in the public schools, Utah is facing a teacher shortage, which experts say is especially pronounced among minorities. While 17 percent of the state’s public school students are minorities, only about 8 percent of the state’s teachers and adminis- , trators are not white, according to the State Office of Education. Richard Gomez, educational equity coordinator at the state office, said over the next five to 10 years, it’s projected the proportion of teachers and administrators of color will shrink to 5 percent. Meanwhile, the minority student population is projected to grow to 20 percent by 2010, he said, and one in five inor ents could ‘ ... ahigher profile situation such as attorney, engineer or doctor. “We as ethnic minorities need to start encouraging more young people at an early age to consider going into teaching,’ Gomez said. “It’s a critical need.” Currently, the school districts with the greatest racial diversity in the state are San Juan, Salt Lake, Ogden, Granite and Provo — all with at least 26 percent minority students. Betty Sawyer, president of the Ogden NAACP, said increasing poverty, racial diversity and an influx of students who don’t speak English as their first language is creat- ing new challenges for the state’s education system. “T look at the challenges now as being greater than before,” said Sawyer. “I think because the schools themselves have become more diverse. I’m not sure if the training of the teachers or involvement of parents have gk pace with the needs schools currently ave.” Forrest Crawford, professor of teacher education at Weber State University, said multiculturalism is built into the curriculum. “With incoming teachers, the first thing we're concerned about is that they arrive in our programs prepared to learn the knowl OL woh fase? lees arabic Vuibeict, Sane wilta Vs ae Een Binge SEM OYM ‘JddI}S 9Y} UMOP [AIS OU, ‘JOU[IY Pue SOA IB[AOY 8 AQ PezIIOSsao0e “(ULIOJIUN SSoIp aieq) sag 40j suvol Joy pepe Sey j90.1}S 9Y} UMOP JAIs OU], ‘yonb -JBI B PUB SYOOY [OOS JO peojsul The <Salt Laakee Tn une a rtin g ‘Ur AH /OBIT l JARTES | Tue say ty, , January gee et fads eader oC Much has been done, but more is needed, say the ceremony speakers By ARRIN NEWTON BRUNSON Special to The Tribune OGDEN — Soul-filled song, joyous dance, passionate prayer and a brisk march marked the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day here on Monday. The event was as much an urging for a better future as a reflection of the past. Munch and March began at the Marshall White Community Center with a breakfast sponsored by the Ogden NAACP, Weber in San Bernardino, Calif., paid homage to King’s inspirational speeches that mesmerized thousands in the years before his murder on April 4, 1968.

I don’t regret any of it,” Cooper said. Undaunted by the burning Ku Klux Klan crosses that lit her campus, Cooper and her classmates divided into teams to protest throughout the city, including a sit-in she participated in at a_whites-only restaurant. “We were waiting for the police to come but we figured they didn’t because they were so busy in other parts of the city,” Cooper said.

She School’s portrayal not racist By BRYON SAXTON Standard-Examiner staff LAY TON — After completing its own inquiry, the NAACP Ogden Chapter has determined a Christmas play performed by first-graders in “soot”-covered faces at a Layton school was not racist in nature. However, chapter officials did make recommendations to school offiCials about how to prevent the makeup in the play from being misinterpreted in the future. NAACP Ogden Branch President a Joseph V. Nicholas and past NAACP President Stanley Ellington conducted the inquiry into the Dec. 5 play performed the at North Davis Preparatory Academy in Layton. The incident was brought to the atEllington tention of NAACP Ogden Chapter officials through media reports. “We made inquiries into this. We saw no intent (with the incident) to demean or to insult,” Nicholas said of the play. The play depicted a See NAACP | Page 4A NAACP motivation behind it. “We found no deliberate intent to discriminate,” Spanish tale of elf-like helpers shimmying down the chimneys of homes to deliver gifts on Christmas Eve. Students dressed in dark clothes and “soot’”-covered faces. Amid complaints of children in the play being in blackface, NAACP Salt Lake Branch President Jeanetta Williams charged the school with racism. “Regardless of the tale of this play, it is racist to portray such an act using blackface,” Williams said in a ear- lier statement. The charge of racism devastated the Spanish teachers said Ellington, who is confident education will go a long way in resolving such issues. To ensure such incidents do not occur again, Nicholas said, it was suggested to. Gomberg that, the next time the play is performed, each student’s face be checked and that team building between parents and staff occur to make everyone aware of what the play is about. It was also recommended that, before next year’s performance, a teacher or school staff member explain to the audience the significance behind the soot-covered faces SO no one misinterprets what is being portrayed, Nicholas Said. “That simple explanation ... can eradicate a lot of the Academy, who organized the play to pay tribute to a Span- . negative feelings,” he said.

The FBI agent who probes civil rights abuses in Utah began an investigation last week, the same week a two- week 2nd District Court trial was calendared to begin Aug. 9 for six defendants, all black, charged with thirddegree felony riot and related misdemeanors for allegedly scuffling with police at the June 27 concert. The trial will feature five different defense attorneys. FBI spokesman George Dougherty in Salt Lake City called the investigation by agent Andres Ramos preliminary. “Our supervisor up there said we did receive a complaint this week alleging federal law had been broken,” he said. “It’s our responsibility to look into the allegations to see if they warrant a full-blown investigation. “That’s all I can tell you.” FBI policy allows media comment only from designated spokesmen. Approximately 50 officers from other agencies were called to the scene after events blew up when five Ogden gang officers were denied admittance to the concert by its promoters, who were promptly arrested, and in one case, beaten with batons. Elbert Gregory, of Ogden, said he met with Ramos See PROBE/3A . day comes, my officers behavedin an appro- priate manner under existing policy and existing Utah law.” JON GREINER, Ogden police chief Jim Gillespie NAA From 1B minorities getOT r &,|A4, [Jib | ©) hogs Gillespie said most of Ogden’s black residents lived between 24th and 30th streets, west of Grant Avenue, and it was hard for them to buy homes in other areas. “People like to live in an area of their choice,” Gillespie said, -and that motivated him to help the cause. Another motivator was Gilles- pie’s memory of his father, Rob- ert Lee Gillespie. Although he died when James was only 11, he “was a successful man who owned a sawmill,. general store, blacksmith shop, dairy and farm. When Robert Gillespie died, his family was able to keep only 320 acres of that property. But James Gillespie Sr. said that taught him the importance of owning land. So when he became president of the local NAACP in 1963, Gillespie started encouraging home ownership among other black people. Many local banks denied loans to blacks at the time, he said, and once that changed it became a matter of motivation. “I’m not ashamed to let people know what kind of 1 income it takes to buy a nice house,” Gillespie said. “Some people say it’s bragging, but it isn’t. It’s explaining to them that this is what you need, and you need an education to do it.” Gillespie said minorities have better access to education now than they did in the 1950s, and race relations have improved. But he said plenty of problems will remain for his successor, who will be elected in November. And Gillespie himself will keep battling on. “T won’t be the president, but I’m not retiring from the civil rights movement,” he said.

But he said people shouldn't expect him to quiet down. want m free to say anything I to, do anything I want to,” Gillespie, 75, said Thursday. “I can’t speak out politically for a ~ partynow. I'll be able to do that when I’m not president anymore.” He will keep fighting. But Gillespie's past accomplishments as leader of the local National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will not be forgotten, and 125 people gathered at the Ogden Park Hotel Saturday night to honor him for his service. ‘““He’s been a hero, not just to blacks, but to all people,” said James H. Gillespie Jr., the outgoing president’s son and current Utah Department of Corrections deputy executive director. “He has shown people that biacks are individuals just like | anyone else. That we are real people, we're humans.” Betty Sawyer said she has worked with the elder Gillespie at the local NAACP for about 15 years.

Not that everyone has always agreed with Gillespie — he’s the first to admit it. But he’s been will- ing to be an advocate for a commu- nity of people who sometimes live life as an uphill battle against prejudice and misunderstanding. Con- troversy, then, is part of the job description when you're called upon to fight against the entrenched, pre- dominantly white power structure. Gillespie, a former employee of Defense Depot Ogden, has also been involved in the community at large, serving on the Governor’s Black Advisory Council, the Ogden Area Community Action Agency's board and has been affiliated in various other capacities with Your Community Connection and Utah | Children. The insidious smudge of racism in Utah has not been eradicated, however. In a recent interview with this newspaper, Gillespie noted that there are precious few, if any, blacks holding elected office or in supervisory positions in local governments. So he will continue to ‘serve on the executive committee of the local NAACP even after he’s stepped. down as president.

While Hinckley did not mention 1978, the year that then-church President Spencer W Kimball announced he had a divine revelation opening the priesthood to all worthy malés, Murphy said he recalled it well. ‘I can remember coming back to work from lunch, and it was as if everything changed,” he said. “People were shaking my hands, and hugging me and kissing me, and asking me, ‘Have you heard?’ ” In the two decades since, black membershi p in the 10 million-member church has grown eno rmously in the United States, Latin America and Afri ca.

Hinck- ley once made a disparaging remark about a black family in the presence of his mother It was a mistake, he said, that he never repeated. ‘She gave us to understand, in no uncertain terms, that among the peoples of the Earth there’is neither inferiority nor superiority, that we are all sons and daughters of God, and that we have an obligation to respect and help one another,’’ Hinckley told the 49th annual NAACP Western Region I Leadership Conference on Friday in Salt Lake City ‘IT have never forgotten that simple lesson. I have carried it all my life, and across the world,” he said. It was a remarkable admission on the first occasion of an LDS Church president’s address to the oldest civil-rights organization in the United States. It came less than two months after Hinckley’s tour of five African nations and less than two months before the 20th anniversary of the Mormon church’s admission of black men to the faith’s all-male priesthood, which is June 9. While prejudice still exists in the United States, Hinckley said, “‘Matters are gradually getting better ” Slavery still exists in parts of Africa, he said, quoting the Baltimore Sun, whose reporters went to Sudan and purchased two young men for $1,000 each, then returned them to their families. “But there is another slave trade going on much closer to home. It involves people of all races. For much less than a thousand dollars, young men and women are being inducted into the slavery of drugs and other substances and practices which take hold of them until they lose all control of themselves,” he said. “One thing leads to another, with miseries com- pounding themselves.” Miseries such as addiction, teen pregnancy, gangs and rampant crime. The solution, Hinckley said, is twofold: restoring the father as head of the family —a statement that brought explosive applause from his Hl More religion news C-4 250 listeners — and reinstituting regular family prayer In addition to its charter to champion integration, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken on education reform and strengthening the family “I submit that the black family in this nation has been a tremendous institution,” Hinckley said. ‘It has of our added much to our culture and to the strength — people. “But in far too many cases, families of all races have been denied leadership, the leadership of a good © and devoted father who stands at the side of an abley and kindly mother plining, and in quietly training, gently disci’, prayerfully helping the children fo y whom they both are responsible.” God, Hinckley said, did not intend for a woman! j TA See HINCKLEY, Page AM ] * ss Hise 22) castes 3 eeeree c + =D Cre ot Prac Spur eet Ped oii SE eae cS 8] ” eae dad oP 1) Y oe } 9) foe iP) > pe rr Sos QO S fot 4.

NAACP says display of hanging is offensive, asks removal By ANDREAS RIVERA Standard-Examiner staff ROY — Halloween decorations can vary from being creative to genuinely frightening, but a local group isn’t pleased with one display they say is offensive and hateful. Reverend Stanley Ellington, president of Ogden’s branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), spoke with fellow members Monday evening to discuss the issue after becoming aware of a Halloween display in Roy that depicted a person being hung from a noose. The decoration in question is one of several homemade animatronics designed and built by Kevin Van Miltenberg. The hangman struggles and wriggles around, brought to life by small motors. Ellington said the display is evocative of the lynching of African-Americans that were prevalent in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s and offensive to their community “It’s shocking how people today still don’t think about these things,” Ellington said. In a statement from the national office of the NAACP, the organization states: “The NAACP finds the hanging character to be extremely offensive. There is no doubt what this is. The founding in 1909 and history of the NAACP was because of the many lynchings in our country and has become synonymous with the lynchings of African Americans. This display makes a mockery of the history of lynchings in our country ” “What should be found scary is the fact that we have people in which are not sensitive or perhaps knowledgeable of the history of lynchings, and to put up sucha display There are certainly other types of Halloween displays that could have been displayed other than a ’hanging man.’ We are asking that Mr Van Miltenburg remove the hanging character immediately ” Members at the meeting expressed their disappointment at the display See HANGING, Page 3A ae aan aren f sprucing up the Votermobile were Shauna Gillespie and Lynn Boyd of NAACP Youth and College Division.

Police officials steadfastly deny that Birtes Lee Wilson Jr.’s race had anything to do with a white policeman’s decision to shoot him || during a domestic ' gone sour. But Jeannetta intervention Williams, presi- dent of the Salt Lake chapter of the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, says she and others have serious doubts. “I got a large amount of calls from all groups of nationalities, in- cluding a white lady who was in tears. She said it’s not right,” Williams said. “This is the 1990s,” Williams said. “We have to be concerned about how we're being seen outside of Utah. We can’t have people thinking, ‘If you’re not white, you've got to worry about police brutality.” ” Police officials say the April 10 shooting was justified after Wilson, 29, attacked the officers, shook off the effects of pepper spray and batons, then brandished a thick, 10foot-long tree branch and threatened to kill them. Nevertheless, the FBI is conduct- ing a civil rights investigation into the shooting at the request of Police Chief Ruben Ortega. Police shootings are not common in the Salt Lake Valley, although there have been four in 1994. Before Wilson, the last person killed by a Salt Lake lawman ee eee zwaevy Michele Rendon. Her partner, Joel Schow, noticed a spoon with white residue next to Wilson’s bed and took it. Wilson claimed the officers weren’t real cops and took a swing at Rendon, who backed away and doused his face with a pepper spray. The irritant had no apparent effect. Wilson threatened to “take them out” and he and Schow fought with fists and baton. Rendon also was struck. The struggle moved outside, where Wilson picked up a bicycle sprayed him again. Wilson threw and held it in the air while Schow the bike at the officers, but missed. Then Wilson threatened to kill Rendon because she had sprayed him. Schow drew his baton again and Wilson ran. When next spotted, Wilson began swinging a 10-foot branch at the officers, who drew their guns. Schow fired, hitting Wilson three times. He was handcuffed and died a short time later. An autopsy showed Wilson had cocaine in his system and police speculated that caused his sudden belligerence. Both officers had been with the force about 18 months. Police now refuse to discuss specifics of the case. But after the shooting Ortega said, “We will clearly show we have nothing to hide and we welcome vestigation.” SUL For envelope printing prices plete quantity price list see in album. and last compage the (FBI) in- of deadly force Base.

Williams has made the NAACP a more visible force in her two years at its helm, beginning with protests against the 1992 execution of William Andrews, one of two four men executed in Utah since 1977. Regardless the racial makeup of the state, Williams said, peace officers have a responsibility to be colorblind. If Wilson had been white, she said, “they would have thought . they could talk to him, reason with him, get the handcuffs on him.” Wilson’s wife, who witnessed the shooting, claims her husband’s death could have been avoided and has hired a lawyer.

Sandra L. Beckwith, in her book Publicity for Nonprofits, advises anyone considering submitting an op-ed piece to have a clear topic in mind, as well as a clear goal. It is also a good idea to contact the publication to assess its interest in the piece beforehand. Once all that has been done, take the following steps: e Begin by illustrating how the topic or issue affects readers. One good way is by putting a face on the issue, starting with a story of someone who has been affected by it. If this is not possible, lead with an attention-getting statement. e Follow that illustration with a statement explaining the broader scope of the issue. Use statistics to put the situation in context. e Describe the problem and why it exists. This is often an opportunity to address an opposing viewpoint and then your response or refutation of it. e Offer your solution to the problem. Explain why it is the best option. e Conclude on a strong note. Repeat your message or state a call to action. e Make sure to put a note at the end describing your credentials as they relate to the topic Human Resources: Staff qualities and social work The NonProfit Times Maximizing the talent and potential of staff to ensure success of an organization's mission is of course essential. With this in mind, it is important to remember both that nonprofits differ in their approach to social change and that individuals differ in their strengths and interests. In their book, From the Ground Up, Carol Chetkovich and Frances Kunreuther argue that the central task of a social change organization (SCO) can vary according to both the work of the organization and staff skills and interests. some of the varying central tasks, therefore, are: e Motivating: Turning anger into action. This is the task of linking individual transformation to collective action, engaging constituents in the work. It works for staff who listen, connect experience with analysis, build unity and believe in the power of collectivity. e Revealing: Providing information for action. It is meant for the work of providing groups with information and networks. It works for staff with curiosity about social structures, who embrace outsider status, serve others' activism and believe in the power of analysis. e Recognition as seeing the dignity and potential in others. More individual that collective, this means meeting basic needs and involves staff who acknowledge immediate needs, provide support, nurturing and love, and believe in the power of caring.
