"Those forces which stand
agaf:nst the freedom of nations
are not are not only wrong -
they are doomed to utter
defeat and dishonor -
colored peopl of the world
are going to be free and equal
no matter whose "best inter­
e ts" are n the way."
-Hon. PaulRobeson
"It is better to sit alone than
in company with the bad; and
it is better to it with the good
than alone. And it is better to
speak words to a seeker of
knowledge than to remain
silent; and silence is better
than bad words."
Muhammad 11m Abdullah
(The Prophet -PBUH) .
PUSH comes of age, rais­
ing the question of, "who left
whom?" Twenty one years
ago, we challenged the public
and private sector to "do the
right thing" and reinvest in the
communities in a reciprocal
manner, consistent with the
consumer dollar that corpora­
tions receive from the com­
munity. African Americans
have grown to 6,000 Black
elected officials nationwide,
including 300-400 African
American mayors governing
rural communities and urban
communities across the
world.
People of African origin
control 25 Caribbean
countries, and 50 African na­
tions. African Americans
alone control a $360 billion
dollar economy. With all of
these blessings at the banquet
table of opportunity and
responsibility the masses cry
out loud everyday from Los
Angeles to South America,
from Haiti to Hamlet, North
Carolina and from Somalia,
Africa to urban homeless
Americans ..
. PUSH ACCEPTS the
challenge to move the country
from chaos to communi ty, and
we, Operation PUSH, will
respond by adopting action­
oriented resolutions. PUSH
will present model p�grams
as al ternatives to the
economic malaise we face.
We will provide resolutions
that reflect the needs of a cul­
turally-diverse, but frag­
mented America, who is
anguishing and suffering at
the hands of the last three ad­
ministrations.
We also believe that we
have the responsibility of ad­
vocacy, as it relate to our
Third World brothers and
si ters, We further believe
that these issues must be ad­
dressed by our presidential
. candidates, as we move, al1
too quickly, into the 21st cen­
tury.
