Welcome to City Line. I'm Jackie Hall. And I'm Dan Henson. If you're single and tired of one night stands, then you won't want to miss the day. City Line. Barbara Miles, publisher of Chocolate Singles magazine, will be here. And Barbara believes that today's black singles have many more options than just singles, bars and discos. We'll also be joined by Denise Lord of the Washington chapter of Chocolate Singles. Providing quality health care for inner city residents. Whose concern is it? I'm t. Monti and we'll talk about that. My name is Tim Watts. And today on the entertainment page for our music videos, we've got Herbie Hancock and Ray Parker Jr and we've got a Teddy Pendergrass update. When we talk about chocolate singles, we don't mean Hershey bars and Mr. Goodbar, either. No, we mean the thousands of single blacks who are looking for stable relationships and stimulating social activity. Stay with us and learn more about chocolate singles. Hi for a nice big audience today. Well, you know, I thought when it was all over, we may have a couple more days to sneak in on it. Thanks. Yeah, Well, welcome to City Line. As we told you in our opening, we've got a special discussion coming up on chocolate singles, which we, of course, talked at length about a little bit anyway. But as part of our Black History tribute, we have that coming up as well. We took our cameras to the home of the new ICP national president Enola McMillan, and looked into her private world to find out a lot more about her than meets the public eye. Since 1909, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the nation's oldest civil rights organization, has led a never ending battle for racial equality and freedom throughout the USA.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=66.09,218.68"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Since 1935.

They were convinced that when it was necessary to take a stand, they could count on me to take a stand. I didn't do much talking. I kept quiet quite a bit. But if something really came up that was important, then I talked and they like the stands that that took. Does this mean that they know your McMillan is going to be her own woman as national president? Well, I've been for many years. The tireless attitude of this retired school administrator has allowed her to make great strides in battling segregation throughout Baltimore and the state of Maryland. Whether a legal fight to equalize pay for Maryland state teachers or to pick a Tommy Tucker's for discrimination in know McMillan has remained on the firing line. Segregation was seemingly so ingrained until it seemed as if we were just knocking our heads against a wall. You look around every the motorman and the conductors on the bus lines were white in the banks, everybody was white. Wherever you wind and you could get an education in typing shorthand. What happened when you came out? You there wasn't a place for you to work. So a lot of people, a lot of young people these days do not understand what it was like in those days.

In appreciation for her hard work and dedication to the community. Mrs. McMillan is constantly awarded trophies and plaques by various community and public service organizations. The roads last year and the European. Oh, this is Mrs. McMillan has been president of the Baltimore chapter since 1971 of her objectives as national president is to sensitize America to the role the NAACP has played and continues to play. Some whites, for example, don't know that this is a more democratic America because of the ACP, we have fought against the powers that be. We have tried to make our Constitution a document that's being implemented. But she's not at the forefront of civil rights. Mrs. McMillan relaxes in a more traditional role as wife, mother and grandmother. And whenever her hectic schedule allows, she finds the time to bake her favorite pies. Mrs. McMillan, when it's all over, what would you like for us to remember about you? I like the fact that I have not. Mortgaged. Any. Opportunities. For my personal benefit.

We have a lot of fun one on City Line. Joining us now for a discussion of chocolate singles is Barbara Miles, who is the publisher of Chocolate Singles magazine and editor in chief. As I understand it, also, both jobs. Think about what all of these ladies, the coordinator for the for the D.C. chapter of Washington, D.C., chapter of Chocolate Singles and for singles only. What's the relationship between chocolate singles and for singles only? What's the. Well, actually, chocolate singles is two things. It's first, a magazine that is, we like to say the Who, what and where for where single people. It's national lifestyle magazine and it's the first of its kind anywhere and everything. So international is the club component. It's the travel and leisure club so that you have first the magazine and then the club for Live and Interaction. All right. Well, let's take a little bit of a look at at the whole scene. We recently took our city van cameras to La May's nightclub in Washington, D.C. to meet some of the area's chocolate singles and to find out what the chocolate single atmosphere is all about.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=521.82,717.18"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"In the nation's capital. It is estimated that there are 243,000 black single adults. And although there are numerous single bars and nightspots, many Washingtonians find it difficult to meet other singles. Enter chocolate singles, though. What and where for aware people and the result fun and frolicking functions to satisfy the young, the mature and the restless Washington coordinator Denise Lloyd. People have been calling us constantly. I mean, we've got two phone lines and it's constantly ringing about. It's I think the response is going to be even better than New York. It's going to be a little bit different because D.C. is intrinsically different. We're into extreme bourgeois. We're so close to the power, I guess that we'd have a higher demand. So we have to kind of make sure that everything's done on a real class. And not that it's not a class act in New York. But the requirement is a little bit higher here. And I guess because you have your constant receptions on the Hill and everything that they're used to having everybody be, who is everybody around? Chocolate singles also gets the stamp of approval from man sharing expert Audrey Chapman. Certainly going out and socializing is better than staying at home and hoping that the prince will come along and know that you're in there. So it's very important to come out to activities like this. The chocolate singles put on to meet other people. And what about the chocolate singles? What do they think of the entire concept? I think it's probably the most exciting thing that's ever happened in this area. When you can go to a place and you have a sense of being one with the people that are in there. I definitely takes away from the tension and the pressure of saying, Wow, I wonder what this person is like or would I like that person? I came here this evening, you know, anticipating people need a way to get together.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=720.51,855.98"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And this is a very good concept. I'm sure some telephone numbers are thrown around some way too many times here in D.C. You know, it's a clickers type of town. And unless you hand a certain type of quick certain groups, then you really don't meet people of the professional caliber. That was a look at a gathering in D.C. of the chocolate singles. And I'd like to ask Barber a question. I'm chocolate. Yes, I'm single. Single. Can we find you up now from the group? But I couldn't get from any other group that exists for unattached people. All right. Well, Jacki, black singles have been slow to come in to the singles scene. In fact, we've been conspicuous with Lee absent from it. And it's because we didn't see ourselves. I think in our social interactions, we seek a certain kind of cultural or racial affinity. And the other singles organizations just we're not offering this. We didn't invent the concept. There are some magazines or some clubs that have been around for years and years and years. But I guess the light bulb went on for me when we had been exploring the idea, talking about it. Why doesn't somebody do anything about it? People are having other single groups are having a whole lot of fun. They're doing these fantastic activities, they're going skiing, they're having all kinds of parties and social gatherings. Why don't we? But what really cinched it for me was that one week I was watching a national news broadcast and they did a film feature on the singles scene. And I watched it for the whole week and I kept waiting, Oh, wait, they're going to have the black people next week. Oh, wait. Well, tomorrow and throughout that whole week, I only saw one black face.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=856.4,975.28"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And it was a person who happened to be on a weekend that the camera happened to picked up on the dance floor.

Everybody apparently is experiencing some of the same kinds of problems. We just, I guess, were a little slower moving to come into the house. Okay. Let me remind everybody at home that you can join in our discussion by calling City Line at 41, 13, 13. And of course, we'll have our studio audience involved a little bit later. But I've got a problem. Problem. I mean, when I read the tabloid, it is it is upscale. I mean, that's the new word that's coming around. It's upscale. Like Bloomingdales is upscale. Like like like Cosmopolitan magazine is upscale. It's designed for a particular segment of the market. And the fact is that most chocolates are not upscale, most of the poor. Let me just say this. Chocolate was a it is a flavor of fine chocolate is universally appreciated. So I don't think that we are excluding anybody. It certainly wasn't the intention. But people it's been a kind of or it's the kind of self-selection process and the people who have picked up the magazine just happened to fit your, quote, upscale description, a word that I don't particularly like, but they are mostly middle income. They are, I guess, better educated than the general population. But this is isn't this the consumers of magazines generally? Well, it's also the consumer club.

Barbara, you had some more points you wanted to make about that. All right. I wanted to explain then, is that the price of participating in chocolate singles so activities doesn't preclude anybody's participation because a subscription is a nominal 750 per year. And I think that's one of the best bargains around. And I'm talking about mass now. And most events range in price from 10 to $15, local events. You don't have to go to Nassau. But if you're going to Nassau, why not go with us? You might have a better time. Let's bring our viewers in. Hi there. You're live on City Line. Hi. My name is Sam Montgomery. I would like to know whether there's any type participation score for singles for handicapped participants and if so, what type? Good question. This for a handicap thing, We haven't specifically designed any activities for the handicapped population. That may be something to think about. And I'm sure that handicapped persons are included, but not as a separate and discrete. And we've done some marketing studies, as that indicated, indicated that there are particular groups of singles that you need to direct your mean Catholic singles, Protestant singles, handicapped singles. I mean, there are different groups that you that you might want to take with direct chocolates. That's right. But I mean all the other groups maybe that handle that. No, I think that they are that there are many organizations that are already functioning for some of the other ethnic and religious groups. But we were filling a specific vacuum.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=1353.54,1489.94"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/10","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And so the question from the audience. Yes, sir? QUESTION That more or less stems from a comment that Mr. Hanson made, uh, at a time like this when, uh, black people are moving from the middle class, quote unquote, uh, and moving down economically, and then the state that they are in socially, economically and politically, and there's as much factionalism as is now. Uh, and considering that most black people are not professionals, do you think that this is really the way to bring the black family together and to actually are black people likely to find lasting relationships in an establishment and in an establishment such as yours? Denise, could we have you take that question? Okay. Well, there are no guarantees in life on anything, but we as black people have always relied on the church, okay? And we've now going into other the church fills a a large void for us. But there are other alternatives. And chocolate singles is providing that. We're providing social areas that you can relate to each other and not only on the social basis. Chocolate singles also helps you professionals. We have what is called a networking party where people can actually bring have booths and to show their wares, whether it be artistic or whatever, and that helps. You kind of need it and crying or developing a support system in your field of business. And I think for young people graduating out of school, we do need that support system. Denise, let me ask you something else. Contrast chocolate singles as a social setting with the single bar scene, for instance. Well, one of the things that Bob had thought about in developing a truck with singles events are women can go into it without feeling like she's being picked up.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=1490.66,1603.48"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We always make sure that any event that we have, a woman can go into it by herself with with the security without feeling like she's there on the what they call the meat market.

You know, I subscribe and I read it that they feel like they're part of a club. It's not just a part. It's not just a bar. It's not just a party, a one flesh thing. They're part of an ongoing 12 month affair. I mean, there's something somewhere every month almost. And people come to the club not because they come thinking, I'm going to make out. I'm going to take somebody home with me. They come and they make friends. And the activities are varied enough that they're an end in themselves. So I think that that is very different. And I think that's one of the reasons why black people have shied away from the singles bars. Now, if you I don't know if you have many singles bars in Baltimore, but we do have them in in New York and in and abundance. But we don't have any black singles bars. And when you go into them, I could name them and I could name about ten or so. But if you go into them, you may see one or two black faces here and there, and a black person entering that scene would have to be looking for a specifically interracial experience.

And we want the magazine to be about some of everything that you're about and that I'm about. So we talk about politics. We talk about Jesse Jackson running for president. Our cover story in the March issue, we talk about making and managing money. We talk about health and personal development and some of everything. We think the whole range of interests about lifestyle. It is a lifestyle magazine. Yeah. Okay. Thanks. Thank you. Question Just cross my mind. You chose to publish a magazine about black people at the same time that pretty much publications for blacks by blacks are pretty much on the downswing. I mean, what did, what did you know? What do you know and why? Why is chocolate singles growing is not what I know Why? No, it's who I know. And I just have just like got a lot of people buying chocolate singles when they're not buying other black publications. I mean, the National lead, for example, just went under, which was an excellent publication, I thought. But but people just weren't buying it to the extent. Well, I can't tell you why they didn't buy the national leader, but they are buying chocolate singles because I think that we had a vacuum. Like I said, there are singles publications that are thriving, such as Intro Out in Out of California and along the East Coast.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672#t=1922.19,2042.73"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/103612/file/203672/transcript/47228/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But there were no publications with targeted specifically to a black singles audience.

Topping today's news, cap, health care and the black community receiving quality health care should be more of a right than a privilege in any given community. But whose concern is it to make sure that quality medical care is available to minorities here in Baltimore? One such concerned organization is the Maryland Congress on Health Law and Economics. This morning, I spoke with Shirley Nathan Pulliam, chair of the Congress, to get some background information on the group and on their concerns with proposed changes, operating changes at the University of Maryland Hospital. The Congress. The health law and economics is supported by ten professional organizations, some of which are the monumental Medical Association, Black Nurse Association, the Maryland Dental Association, Black Lines and Mental Health, the of various organizations, black psychiatrists and other groups of organizations. You have numerous concerns, but I understand that one of your major concerns right now has to do with this new governance proposal at the University of Maryland Hospital, where the hospital would be taken from, what is it, a public operated institution to a privately operated institution?

I understand that to get a little bit specific are concerned that the health care that is provided to the area residents who live in that area, the vicinity of the University of Maryland, they wouldn't what they wouldn't be able to get the primary care. Yes. The emphasis on the new proposals would be putting more emphasis on tertiary rather than in primary care. What does that mean? And the primary means, you know, when you become acutely ill and go to institution, a lot of those will be will not be taken care of as it has been in the past. You know, some of the clinics will not be there and there will be more into specialty. So where will those patients go? They would have to be farmed out to other. Well, some of the it has been said that they will be opening new community centers and some of them will be taken care of in those facilities. But another of your concerns has to do with the number of black professionals that are employed at the University of Maryland. And I understand that you had had meetings with officials there. What was discussed and what is your concern there as it relates to black professionals?

But as Robin McIntosh reports, when one is white and one is black and they are married, then the reactions of others can be quite disturbing. Nearly a half dozen residents in Illinois, Tony, a section of Bensalem Township, Bucks County, awoke this morning to discover they'd been targets, targets of a traditionally racially motivated attack, cross burnings. One of the victims is Floyd Darden. He's lived in Bensalem Township for three years. He teaches music in the school district, and he says he can't believe someone lit a burning cross on his front lawn. Darden, whose wife is white, says his interracial marriage has prompted some minor incidents in the past, but nothing like this. This is a terrible thing for people to do, especially in the 1980s, when we thought that this type of thing had blown over and people have respect for other people. But, you know, it's something that shouldn't be happening. That's how the police say four houses, only a few blocks apart where targets of the cross burnings. And they're investigating through a variety of channels. This has been turned over to the detective division and they will follow up on and also the fire marshal will be advised one of the cross burnings happened only two doors away from Larry Mitchell's house. He's Pennsylvania representative for Corps, the Congress on Racial Equality. And he says he's demanding a full scale probe into who torched those crosses.
