our oppres-
e ould reco .
o to pending and saving
our financial resources, ot just
for the personal ctluisition of
erial wealth. But mo e im­
portantly, e should commit
our elve to a spending and
economic development strag- .
tegy that allo s the broadest
possible participa ion by our
community a large.
Anoth r pressing need is to
challeng current' attempts to
p ychologically re-en lave
African Americans. ,
We spend too much of our
time and money' trying to change
our God-given gifts of beauty
and holeness. The negative
stereotypes and r cist images
that the establi ed media
often portray need to be con­
fronted forthrightly.
In 1988, in er wo ds,
need to be mo e pro clive than
reactive. In f ct, t we need is
a long-range goal that tbe
majority of our peo le can agree
upon. This goal hould not
change from year to year, but
hould b wor ed to d by
e ch generation.
L tly, there is no
gre er I ue than the ........ 'lftft1e
ag in t r ci t p rtheld in
outhem Africa. It i my hope
a d pr yer ..that African
Ameri , in particular, and all
other ho love freedom . I
mor concertely sit the
African tional Congr and
WAPO. Th tiber tion move­
ment . ed 1 South Africa and
amibi d rve our immediate
and long-term upport.
In 1988 freedom will not be
free.
