Something like that needs to come from higher up — and lower down We have a president who says he's against racism and I for one believe him But those too are just words Mr Mandela we have a civil rights bill in the Congress right now The president pledged to "leave no stone unturned" in advancing this nation's civil rights agenda but the president says he won't sign that civil rights bill unless it's changed Weakened he means In New York City we have racial tension hitting 92 on the scare meter But we have a mayor who says more or less "I hope New Yorkers can rise above this and be better to one another" I am a citizen ef New York City I hope too but frem the mayor I expect more than hope More than words I expect action Leadership And I'm not getting it Not where racism is concerned Not from my president Not from my mayor And not as bad fortune would have it leadfrom too many other ers All I get all we get is words And more words Your "handlers" say that you're not planning to comment on what's going on here I'm writing to you to ask you to change your mind about that I know your purpose in this visit is according to the African National Congress "To express your gratitude to the movement and to urge this country to keep the pressure on the South African government until there is a profound and irreversible change in that country" But Mr Mandela the profound change in this country seems to have been reversed We seem to be heading in the wrong direction We need for you to speak up about that You are respected by black and white people in this country A few words from you might actually change some things here In people's hearts And yes I know I said words were only words but the words of Nelson Mandela in America on America are themselves a kind of action just the kind of action we need Remind us Mr Mandela where it was we intended to go And why And soon Yours in our struggle A citizen r 0 454 a ::- -- ' 311f - 5c:: r' "': ''141:''4'7'd'?'451 -- ' F I BILL HALL A 1g111401' :Z -- - FO D ANN LANDERS W-- 8 r W ' :t in 4 tlertowot100eqNnolmmw- - W-- 3 ' 1'3:er44$ :4"1 -7 4 111 11i11 1:' Y N - 4mdl ' - W-- 2 - 11v16 e ' |
