Benjamin Hooks told a large audience in the Union Ballroom Wednesday that nothing is more pertinent to human "rights than King's life and work. He reminisced about the last speech King made on April 3, 1968, the day before he was assassinated. Hooks said he and .friends almost didn't go to that speech because it was a stormy night, but then decided for that reason alone perhaps the audience might not be large enough. But the audience was full and of all the speeches he'd heard King make, none had ever contained more pathos and power, said Hooks. "I wish you had had the chance to know himthe real man," he said, and not the media image of him. King believed deeply in what he said and believed the conscience in America could be reached. Since then, "we have made amazing progress," but still have a long way to go, said Hooks. He discussed several issues that require more work. In South Africa, 30 million blacks live in conditions worse than slavery, while 5 million whites live "in the lap of luxury," he said. Change will come to South Africa, but whether it is peaceful or revolutionary is the question, he said. President Ronald Reagan has asked for sanction against Libya, and if sanctions will work against that country, they will work against South Africa. The Ku Klux Klan is still active in all states in the United States. Many school systems arc still segregated. Ironically, the most segregated school system is in Chicago, where much civil rights work was done. "But Jim Crow is dead," said Hooks. "I know because I killed him and went to the funeral." But after the "funeral," a young man came to sec him. His name was James E. Crow, Esq., said Hooks. "Jim Crow's first cousin is alive and well." Jim Crow, taken from the name of an early black well-dress- ed minstrel song, refers to segregation or discrimination against blacks. Hooks discussed the lack of black representation in elected offices. There are to black governors, one black senator and 20 black representatives. There arc connections between racism and sexism, said H ft LE by Drew Staflanson Staff writer j " 1 It should prove to be a dogfight.
