WE'RE FIGHTING FOR YOUR LIFE
New York (JTA) — The new
president of the Urban League
has taken a fresh stand on black-
Jewish relations, praising Jews
as "longstanding allies" of the
African American community
and mapping out an inclusive
road to black empowerment.
Hugh Price, who became pres-
ident and CEO of the black civil
rights group on July 5, said in a
recent speech that a weakened
economy and a lack of communal
infrastructure — not white
racism — are the major obstacles
confronting poor blacks in the
United States.
And at a time of heightened
tensions between black and Jew-
ish groups, Price stressed that
Jews have been key players in
the civil rights struggle.
"Many whites of good will have
accompanied us on our long jour-
ney for racial, social and economic
justice," Mr. Price said.
"None has matched the Jew-
ish community as long distance
runners in the civil rights move-
ment."
Mr. Price, 52, a former mem-
ber of the New York Times edito-
rial board, was a senior officer at
the Rockefeller Foundation be-
fore joining the Urban League, a
group traditionally supported by
the black middle class.
In his keynote address to the
Urban League's national con-
vention in Indianapolis on July
24, Mr. Price said that looking at
social and economic problems ex-
clusively through the filter of race
is simply bad business.
In his speech, Mr. Price called
on middle-class blacks to fund
"prevention strategies" in the in-
ner cities, including a youth de-
velopment fund, and to work
within the African American
community for economic self-suf-
ficiency.
In a clear reference to Nation
of Islam leader Minister Louis
Farrakhan, whose incendiary
racist and anti-Semitic state-
ments have been the subject of
recent controversy, Mr. Price
stressed the need to denounce
racism wherever it occurs.
In another reference to Mr.
Farrakhan, Mr. Price defended
the right of African Americans to
dialogue with all black groups,
even those who espouse racist or
anti-Semitic ideas.
He said the sheer magnitude
of the problems facing the black (
community make such dialogues
imperative.
Mr. Price acknowledged that
recent tensions between blacks
and Jews are real. He stressed
the need to lower the decibel lev-
el" of discussions.
In a telephone interview this
week, Mr. Price said it is impor-
tant to move debate from the op-
ed pages of newspapers to
closed-door meetings between
black and Jewish groups.
Amid concern over the grow-
ing appeal of separatist and anti-
Semitic messages in the black
community, Jewish leaders
warmly welcomed Mr. Price's re-
marks.
Jewish Judge Presides
At War-Crimes Tribunal
Johannesburg (JTA) — Nearly
50 years after the Nuremberg
war trials, a Jewish judge from
South Africa has been appointed
to serve as chief prosecutor of the
United Nations tribunal on war
crimes in the former Yugoslavia.
But Judge Richard Goldstone,
who has long played a leadership
role in South Africa's Jewish com-
munity, feels that his Jewishness
is irrelevant to his appointment.
Rather, he sees it as a reflec-
tion of the speed with which the
world community is reaching out
to South Africa in the wake of the
country's first all-race elections
in April.
"My being Jewish does not af-
fect my attitude and feelings to-
ward the appointment," he said
in a recent interview. "At the
same time, the upholding of hu-
man rights is something I regard
as crucially important."
Judge Goldstone, who was
named to the Balkan tribunal by
the U.N. Security Council in ear-
ly July, will head the first inter-
national war-crimes prosecution
since the Nuremberg and Tokyo
trials were convened after World
War II.
Judge Goldstone, who at the
time referred to his appointment
as "a great honor," said it was "an
illustration of how quickly South
Africa has been readmitted into
the international community.
"It's a wonderful feeling that
South Africans can again con-
tribute to the international or-
ganizations in many parts of the
world," he said.
