Education . an impor-
tant ele tint tr ggl
for human ri ht. It' the
means to help our children
and our p opl redi cove;
their ide, ity and thereby in­

Education is our p port

Tod y in Detroit and he
re t of the nation, we
(American and African­
American) do not take
education eriously.
The average alary of a
"big time" profe ion I ball
player is about one (1' mil­
lion dollars (SSS) a year;
however, you would be hard
pre ed to find a handful of
profe ion educators making
$100,000.00 a year. The
val ue of any commodity in
this country is measured by
the monetary value we place
upon it.
We must come to our sen­
ses to know that our youth are
aware of thi economic
reality of di parity and dis­
grace upon this nation! No
wonder they play ball more
than they read, write, or com­
pute.
Boy from low-income
families have higher school
suspen ion, truancy and
drop-out rate than girls, and
smaller numbers of boys
graduate from high school.
It is time for us to get in­
volved with the education
proce and tum-around the e
trend in education now!
The 'above would indicate
that we place little economic
value in education; and that
our youth achieve at a low
level, based upon their per­
ception that education is of
little economic value in our
SOCiety.

Two men urvived the crime,
considered among Utah's most
notorious.
Selby, the admitted triggerman,
was executed by lethal injection in
1987. Andrews acknowledged help­
ing pour the drain cleaner, but, said
he left the shop before the shootings.
"I pray every night that I will
survive this predicament that I am
in," Andrews said. "I have no idea
what God in store for me, but
deep in my heart, I have no doubt that
•
God has forgiven me for the part
I played in the crime."
At the rally, others que tioned a
system that would execute Andrews
yet spares noto lous white murderers
like bomber-forger Mark Hofmann,
who killed two people in 1985, and
avowed racist Joseph Paul Franklin,
who shot and killed two Black jog­
gers in 1978. Hofmann and Franklin
both received life sentences.

During the hearing, Hyde and
Hawkins were involved in a sharp
exchange when the attorney once
again tried to revive the issue of
racism in Andrew's 1974 trial.
