Atlanta City Council President Annual Black Caucus Conference Ceasar C. Mitchell Presents ‘Give Says ‘It Starts With You’ a Spit about Cancer’ Event for National Bone Marrow Registry By Zenitha Prince Special to the NNPA from the Afro-American Newspaper
Atlanta City Council President Ceasar C. Mitchell and DoSomething.org are encouraging young people to Give a Spit About Cancer by attending a campaign kick-off event for the National Bone Marrow Registry. The event will take place on Thursday, from 6-8 p.m., at Central Park in Atlantic Station. “I was pleased when Mrs. Lublin, CEO and Chief Old Person at DoSomething.org, asked my office to help kick-off the Atlanta Give a Spit about Cancer campaign,” said Mitchell. “Her organization, DoSomething. org, has a long history of promoting advocacy among young adults. And I am honored to be a part of the drive to increase young adult participation in the bone marrow registry program.” Lublin added that getting more people involved should be easy because of the ease of donating and some goodies offered at the event. “Most people don’t realize how easy it is to sign up for the national bone marrow registry. All it takes is a cheek swab. That’s it,”
said Lublin. The Give a Spit campaign seeks to help save the lives of patients affected with blood cancers by increasing the number of young adults on the national bone marrow registry. Bone marrow donations are most successful when the donors fall between the ages of 18-24. More specifically, the campaign targets young adult minorities, as minorities make up only 25 percent of the registry. The low number of minority registrants makes it more difficult for minority patients to find a lifesaving match. Another important note the campaign highlights is that only 30 percent of patients who need a bone marrow transplant can find a match within their family. The other 70 percent rely on complete strangers. The Give a Spit campaign kicks-off on Thursday, Sept. 19 and continues through Dec.19. Young adults are encouraged to continue raising awareness by hosting additional parties through the Dec. 19 campaign end date.
The 43rd Annual Legislative Conference of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation will gather under the theme “It Starts With You” from Thursday through Saturday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. About 10,000 people are expected to attend the yearly gathering of Washington power players, industry leaders and ordinary men and women in the nation’s capital. With an eye to developing leaders, informing policy and educating the public, the conclave will comprise more than 70 forums and brain trusts on the critical issues facing African Americans and the African Diaspora. Most notably, this year’s national town hall meeting, “From Poverty to Prosperity: Confronting Violence, Restoring Opportunity,
and Investing in our Youth” will address the impact of poverty, juvenile justice and gun violence. “ALC is recognized as one of the most important gatherings of African Americans in the nation,” said CBCF Chairman Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-Pa.), in a statement. “Every year, we see thousands of returning attendees and even more new faces ready to join the dialogue so they too can be agents of change in their communities. Our communities find support through the foundation’s work on policies, programs and initiatives. It is our focused agenda that provides greater opportunities for all Americans.” For more information, visit: www.facebook.com/CBCFInc and www.twitter.com/ CBCFInc (#CBCFALC13).

By Jay Reeves Associated Press Hundreds of people Black and White, many holding hands, filled an Alabama church that was bombed by the White supremacist Ku Klux Klan 50 years ago last Sunday to mark the anniversary of the blast that killed four little girls and became a landmark moment in the civil rights struggle. The bombing became a powerful symbol of the depth of racial hatred in the South and helped build momentum for later laws, including the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Rev. Arthur Price taught the same Sunday school lesson that members of the 16th Street Baptist Church heard the morning of the bombing -- “Love That Forgives.’’ Then, the rusty old church bell was tolled four times as the girls’ names were read. Bombing survivor Sarah Collins Rudolph, who lost her right eye and sister Addie Mae Collins in the blast, stood by as members laid a wreath at the spot where the dynamite device was placed along an outside wall. Rudolph was 12 at the time, and her family left the church after the bombing. She said it was important to return in memory of her sister, who was 14, and the three other girls who died: Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley Morris, both 14, and Denise McNair, 11. “God spared me to live and tell just what happened on that day,’’ said Rudolph, who testified against the Klansmen convicted years later in the bombing. Congregation members and visitors sang the old hymn “Love Lifted Me’’ and joined hands in prayer. The somber Sunday school lesson was followed by a raucous, packed worship service with gospel music and worshippers waving their hands. During the sermon, the Rev. Julius Scruggs of Huntsville, president of the National Baptist Convention USA, said, “God said you may murder four little girls, but you won’t murder the dream of justice and liberty for all.’’ Later Sunday, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder and others were set to attend a commemoration. Former Secretary
of State Condoleezza Rice, a Birmingham native who went to school with McNair, was among the scheduled speakers. The dynamite bomb went off outside the church on Sept. 15, 1963. Of the Klansmen convicted years later, one remains imprisoned. Two others who were convicted died in prison. Two young men, both Black, were shot to death in Birmingham in the chaos that followed the bombing. Birmingham was strictly segregated at the time of the bombing, which occurred as city schools were being racially integrated for the first time. The all-Black 16th Street Baptist Church was a gathering spot for civil rights demonstrations for months before the blast. During the commemoration, an honor guard composed of Black and White police officers and firefighters watched over ceremonies attended by the mixed-race crowd, something unthinkable in Birmingham in 1963. That same year, White police officers and firefighters used dogs and water hoses on Black demonstrators marching for equal rights. President Barack Obama issued a statement noting that earlier this year the four girls were posthumously awarded the Congressional Gold Medal, one of the country’s highest civilian honors. “That horrific day in Birmingham, Alabama quickly became a defining moment for the Civil Rights Movement. It galvanized Americans all across the country to stand up for equality and broadened support for a movement that would eventually lead to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,’’ Obama said. Rev. Bernice King, a daughter of the late civil rights leader, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., noted the changed city in a prayer. “We thank you father for the tremendous progress we have made in 50 years, that we can sit in the safe confines of this sanctuary being protected by the city of Birmingham when 50 years ago the city turned its eye and its ears away from us,’’ she said.
