CHICAGO, IL - Despite condemn tio from the U .. Con­
gress and a h t of I ding black political figu , controversial
ation ofI lam leader Mini t r Loui Farrakhan is m in in-
ing his group's long-held i ion that whit peopl were cre-
ated with a special "evil purpose" oftorm nting Blacks.
Speaking to an timated 4,000 follow rs at the group's
recent Saviour's Day celebration in hicago, Farrakhan said of
'whites: "Your hi tory is written in he blood of the human
family. It comes out of you like web out of a pider."
Farrakhan also denounced recent condemnations of his or ..
ganization as "an attempt to unite all of America against the
Nation of Islam. " In what was interpreted as a reference to some
Jewish organizations, he also charged, "These demons like to
throw ston then hide heir hands."
Despite the criticis of Farrakhan, AACP head Benjamin
Hooks announced r ntly that the Muslim minister was still
on the guest list for a BI ck Leadership Conference set for this
spring.
Fewer and fewer Black
males going to college
WASHINGTO ,DC - Aecording'to a report by the American
Council on Education, the number of Black male high school
graduates going to college has declined teadily during the
. 1990s. The decline represents a "gender gap. since the percent­
( age of Blacks going to college has actually increased. But the,
increase has taken place entirely among Black females while
Black males going on to college declined by five percent.
But even for young Black women the picture is not rosy. The
report found that despite increased college enrollment, fewer
Blacks are actually graduating. Currently, only 32 percent of
Blacks entering college earn a BA degree. This compares to 41
percent for Hispanics, 56 p rcent for whites and 63 percent for
Asian-Americans.
