The most highly-visible black elected official in Michigan — after Detroit Mayor Coleman Young — told a group of Jewish leaders last week that his career in politics "sends the right mes- sage" to the community. "Whether I win (an election) or not," Lucas said, "it encourages others to take the step forward. It is the easiest thing in the world to be a de- magogue, to say, 'Burn baby, burn.' It is harder to cooperate. Israel would not last one week if its people did not cooperate with each other." Lucas was the guest speaker for the third breakfast session this year of the Young Leader- ship Cabinet of the United Jewish Appeal and the Jewish Welfare Federation. In a 20- minute talk before taking ques- tions from the audience, Lucas discussed his nine-day summer visit to Israel and his positive impressions of the country. (See The Jewish News, July 26, Page Responding to a question about the status of the historic black-Jewish coalition in the U.S., Lucas said the last ten years have seen more racism among Jews and more anti- Semitism among blacks. The 1967 riot in Detroit was the turning point in this area, he said, because it led to the breakup of neighborhoods and the separation of individuals. "Now, I hope, this separation is turning around. No one can stand alone" and effect change. Lucas added that political use of the differences between blacks and Jews seems to be on the wane. County Executive Lucas is prominently mentioned as a candidate for governor next year. He told the Jewish leaders that he changed from the Demo- cratic to Republican Party "to send a message to a large group of people who had not used their vote in a proper (effective) way." During his travels through Michigan to study the possibil- ity of running for governor, Lucas was gratified to find citi- zens "willing to listen to a black person in counties where no blacks live. It is exciting to reach out to these people and have them reach back to some degree." He said his state-wide trips allow him to represent Wayne County, to remind people that the county is turning around its budget, that it is not crime-ridden, nor does it always have its hands for state aid. On the issue of gun control, Lucas said he has always fa- vored gun control legislation, but now believes that local con- trols are ineffective. He advo- cated national laws on gun con- trol. Responding to a question about his views on "reproductive freedom and a' woman's right to choose," Lucas said, "I am against abortion." It was his only comment on the subject. .,He said that his most difficult task as Wayne County Execu- tive was the closing of the county general hospital. His de- cision on the hospital was met with heavy criticism in some quarters, and he was the target of racial slurs from some in the black community. "But now, 14 months later, people are still getting care, the county is no longer losing $18 million per year, and the private company that is operating the hospital is making a profit." Lucas was introdced by former Jewish Welfare Federation President Alan E. Schwartz. Dr. Conrad Giles, who has chaired "the Breakfast Club" meetings, announced that three co- chairman will continue the series: Norman Pappas, Dr. David Harold and Sally Krugel. The group expects to have 6-8 meetings yearly and future speakers will include Yael Dayan, daughter of the late Moshe Dayan, and Max Fisher.
