Perspective BLACK OWNERSHIP i By RONALD REAGAN County Cooperates In Ahnual MD Telethon PAGE • - PLAIN DEALER - WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 22.1979 In July, /the National Association of Property Owners held its first conference on land use in Washington. It brought together many kinds of people, among them national park in-holders, farmers, ranchers, loggers, Indian chiefs from Minnesota's Boundary Waters, Alaskans, fighting to keep control of their state's resources. Conferees heard addresses frohi such congressional leaders as House Majority Leader Jim Wright of Texas, Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska and Senator Roger Jepsen of Iowa. . But of all the addresses perhaps the most moving was that of a black educator, Dr. Nathan Wright Jr. Nathan Wright is now professor of urban life at the State University of New York. For many years he has been quietly influential in the movement for civil rights and economic equity for black Americans. He was chosen to chair the landmatkr^fertt&hal Conference on Black Power in 1967, and is the author of 18 books on history, theology and civil rights. ' Dr. Wright took his listeners back to the early days of the republic. He recounted how our founding fathers had believed that the essential ingredient for a republican form of govern­ ment, and for the preservation of individual liberty ittelf, was a wide distribution of genuine property ownership. Property ownership sym­ bolized an investment in the life of the nation, a stake in the well-being of society. Those who owned property, he said, viewed their public duties in quite a different light than the property-less. They saw themselves as responsible for promoting the common weal, while the property-less thought more about how the common weal could benefit and support them. Dr. Wright told how, over two centuries of independence, black Americans were systemically denied the op­ portunity to become owners of property. Instead of helping former slaves and their descendants to acquire ownership and con­ tribute to the strength of their community and nation, all too often white people-whether deliberately or unconsciously- threw up barriers to black ownership. This Dr. Wright labels "the law of conveniently lowered vision of human worth," and he says it is a "law" which robbed America of the contributions that millions of minority Americans could have made had they been given a reasonable opportunity. Dr. Wright then offered his prescription for his country: constantly broaden the distribution of private property ownership; help all Americans to earn a tangible share in their nation's wealth; protect private property against the seemingly insatiable desires of government bureaucrats at all levels, who consider it a nuisance to be removed, rather than a source of the nation's !>ny Bennett, Tony Curtis, la Fitzgerald, David Hart- man, Loretta Lynn, Walter Matthau and Paul McCartney and Wings are among the dozens of show business luminaries who have volun­ teered their talents early to appear on the Jerry Lewis Labor day Telethon. Lewis' fourteenth annal supershow to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy association begins Sunday, Sept. 2, at 9 p.m. (EDT) and continues until 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 3. The Telethon raises funds to support MDA's fight againt 38 neuromuscular diseases that kill and cripple thousands of children and adults. The national voluntary health agency sponsors a nationwide network of 214 free diagnostic and treatment clinics. Its worldwide research effort to find cures and treatments for these disorders currently en­ compasses 745 individual research project awards and 10 major research-clinic centers. MDA's income is derived economic and political strength. He added: end low-rent public housing by selling the units to tenants and tenant cooperatives on generous terms (densely populated Singapore does this with suc­ cess); help all Americans achieve that sense of dominion that goes with ownership, and which encourages free men and women to contribute to their country's good. Bold proposals, and plenty of food for thought for all Americans, from a man who has spent a lifetime working for solutions to problems. almost entirely from voluntary contributions. The Association neither seeks nor receives government grants of fees for services to patients, their familiies, or the community at large. More than 200 "Love Net­ work" stations coast-to-coast and in Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico will air the Labor day show. In the Chicago area/ the Telethon will be seen on WGN- TV, Channel 9. The McHenry county pledge center will be located this year at the Crystal Point Mall in Crystal Lake. Karen Hintz is the coordinator of the pledge center and of the special events which will be taking plfce at the Mall during the Telethon. These events include hot air balloons, weather permitting. Sunday evening and Monday, Jerry Lewis T-Shirt sales, and a musical variety show on Monday. The best way to sleep soundly is to live sensibly and think sanely. .
