We're live on City Line. Hi, I'm Jackie Hall. And I'm Betty Bentley. Sexual harassment is any unwanted attention of a sexual nature that occurs in the process of working or seeking work? It's a serious problem and more widespread than most people think. It's just that many women don't talk about it. Today on Cityline, we're going to talk about sexual harassment and find out what can be done about it. Low income Eastern shore families get some needed attention. I'm t mom and i'll tell you about that. Hi, i'm harold anthony and I'll be capping off today's show with a bang. I have the latest from rene and angela in Baltimore. Zone Star boy. Are you're going to be glad they didn't miss this one. Join us as we discuss sexual harassment with Cheryl Wainwright from Baltimore as 9 to 5 working women and Ruth Marcus from Maryland's Commission on Human Relations. We'll find out who the victims of sexual harassment are and what kind of action they can take to stop. Sexual harassment. Up next. Live on City Line. Good afternoon and thanks for being with us on this week's edition of City Line. Our topic of discussion today is that of sexual harassment, mainly in the workplace. And with us to help us investigate this issue is Michelle Wainwright from Baltimore's 9 to 5 Working Women. Thanks for being here. And also on this, Ruth Marcus, who's with the Maryland Commission on Human Relations. Thank you both. Exactly how widespread is this problem? We're talking about men and women, I suppose, in the workplace who are harassed by superiors, whatever. How widespread is it? Well, it's been widespread for quite some time ever since women started working in the workforce with wages.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=13.79,144.39"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sexual harassment has been around. But at the same time, it's been considered a quiet type of harassment. No one wants to talk about it because of embarrassment, status by their friends and coworkers and family. So they tend to keep it a secret. But now that we have laws on the books and we can talk about the Maryland's law as far as the women can counteract some of these problems that they're having or the men. What role does the human relations cause? Well, we are the State Anti-Discrimination Agency. We do take complaints of based on race, religion, national origin, sex, age, physical and mental handicap and marital status. Sexual harassment is a kind of offshoot of sex discrimination, and that is precisely why it's covered by our law. Let me just invite our home audience in to join us in the discussion. If you have been the victim of sexual harassment or if you have witnessed it, please give us a call at 41, 13, 13. We'd like to hear from you. Ruth, I'd like to get back to you on exactly what is sexual harassment. We've talked about it's been around for a long time. We talked about the role of the commission, which we will get into a little bit further. But what is it? How do you define it? Well, Beatty did a great job on it. It's exactly what he said. It's an unwanted, unwelcomed sexual overture to a person in the workplace. But the key word is it must be unwanted or unwelcome if you have a consenting relationship between two adults, that is not harassment. There are three kinds of harassment that people should be aware of. There is a verbal harassment, which is a kind of language propositioning, that kind of thing.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=145.26,255.31"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/3","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"There is nonverbal, which can be clear pictures displayed which make women uncomfortable. And the third, of course, is physical. The demand for sexual favors, ranging from putting an arm around a woman to the ultimate, which is rape. And believe it or not, we have perhaps not at the agency, but there are agencies which have received complaints of rape in terms of the memberships, for instance, of 9 to 5. How frequent are charges brought? Is it something that happens a lot? Yes. Well, the charges itself, women call into the office, want to know their legal rights. They want to know what can they do to counteract this harass or her offender. And what we try to do is converse with them, let them know they do have rights laws on the books. They must keep a documented record of what time, place and the incident occurred, and also try to get other coworkers to be a witness to help you in filing this complaint if it needs to be. Now, let's assume that I'm in the workplace and somebody pinches me and periodically does it. What should my first response be? May I respond to that? The first thing you really ought to do is confront the harasser. Very often men, particularly incidentally, harassment can happen between opposite sex or the same sex. Very often a person is just being friendly. He doesn't even know that he's really harassing. And once you've said to that person, I'd appreciate you're not doing that. It offends me or whatever. And the person stops. That's it. But he's got to be told that he's doing something and that it is unwanted. Right now, sometimes there's a problem there. If you have a supervisor who's doing the harassing, you're really afraid to do it because it might mean you might think it would mean your loss of job.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=256.12,372.24"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/4","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Okay. We're going to continue our discussion in just a minute. We want to invite you again at home to call in at 481 13, 13 to participate in our discussion. Stay with us. We'll be right back. And. I work as a typist and one of the men I work with is always caressing my hair, rubbing my back, or trying to give me a hug. When he comes into the office, I pull away and tell him to stop, but he never seems to get the message. He says he's only trying to be friendly. It's really frustrating and I can't get my work done when he's around. Just having to face him every day ties my stomach in knots. I need to work. I have a child to support. But what can I do? You can't work like that. You just can't. Now, throughout this segment, we're going to have vignettes that talk about what's happening in the workplace. What were the points brought out here? And how should the victim, in quotation marks, handle it? Cheryl, first of all, she is hopefully she would have told him right off the back, she doesn't want this by continuing this effort on a day to day basis. It's going to make her workload drop. She's going to feel stressful. She's going to her body is going to go through health effects whereby, you know, she doesn't want to come to work because she knows that she's going to be offended by this person on a day to day basis. That's when she should start documenting the time and place that I mentioned earlier and to get a coworker to help her along with this and then move that economically. If she should decide not to come to work, then therefore she won't have any pay.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=373.06,539.71"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But clearly there are many times when the person feels so threatened in terms of the loss of their job, they really feel helpless. I mean, what about substantiation? The that particular vignette is very important because there's an environment created there which is hostile to that woman. The fact is Cheryl said that she's beginning to feel ill. That in itself would be a proper file point to file a complaint. There's one other thing that's really important in this particular vignette, and that is that once she has told this person that she does not want him to continue, that she can go to the next person in line, his supervisor, to report that. Now, she could leave her job. The law states that a an employer cannot retaliate for filing a complaint. But women ought to know that very often there is retaliation. Eventually, she will prevail. But she has to be prepared for the fact that the employer may say, You're finished. Okay. As we said, we'll have several vignettes and we'd like to go to another one, which is a second incident that might very well happen in the workplace. Let's look at that now. I just got this new job and the office supervisor of Mrs. Clare tells me that she doesn't have enough time doing office hours to give me a complete orientation. So she tells me to stop by our house later on that evening so we can finish up the orientation that is. And when I get there, she's got the lights turned down low, soft music playing wine, sitting out. Well, I didn't know what I should do. And now I guess my job depends on how I treat Mrs. Clare. That's got to be probably one of your less frequent occurrences.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=540.34,646.4"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"But such harassment against men does occur. Yes, it does. And even with men, they should document this now. Evidently, he didn't want to be there, too. He wanted to come there to go to do a job and not to come there with little lights and wine. So therefore, he should document that. And at the same time, when he comes to work the next day, what should he do? He should let her know not only the night before, but again, the second time around that this is unwanted. Now, is that really helping for a minute? Thank you. Because I'm not sure on the basis of what we've seen here that you really have sexual harassment. Certainly you have bad management. No good employer would welcome this kind of. Situation. But what do they mean by an intimate atmosphere? Perhaps there aren't any overhead lights in the room and there's a lamp on so that although there are the these certainly there are the makings of a situation there. As far as the legality of it is concerned, we would investigate to find out, in fact, whether harassment did take place. But if it continued in that regard now, that would then become harassing, wouldn't it? In other words, I'd have to go in order to keep her happy. To keep my job. Yes. But again, you know, a charge of harassment is a very, very serious thing. It's illegal. So you've got to be very, very careful about what you're going to call harassment and what is bad employment technique. And at what point does the victim, so to speak, become culpable? In other words, he he went to her house. Okay. I'm going to be extremely honest. If she had appeared at the door in a negligee and had invited him into the bedroom, there is no question then that you have sexual harassment.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=646.88,748.22"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"On the other hand, if they just wandered into the living room, she took out some material and started talking about the job. Is that harassment? Okay, well, I guess that's open then for discussion, perhaps at another time. Let's take a call from home. We've been asking people to call your live on City Line. Yes. Oh, yes. Please go ahead. Oh, yes. My life might be different. I have a niece. I'm an adult and have a music teacher, 68 years old. But I had black on my VHS. I believe in the studio and I end up calling the police and a police report. So now we are in court. He went to jail. He profiled three times and now he wants a jury trial. You know, what is the proper outcome of that? That is for him in some way to be punished. You know, I'm saying how how often did this go on? Did it just happen once or was it a series in the studio, which I never go to this teacher now. I brought it up to police and now it been caught over there, you know, and he has requested off the court last week and he had request a jury trial. Okay. So we never even discussed it, said the judge, to postpone it three times, trying to stall. And now his attorney tell him to get a trial by jury. Ruth, can you respond to that? Obviously, we're talking about a criminal offense. We at the commission deal with civil offenses. Sexual harassment is a civil offense and not a criminal offense. I really do not feel expertise enough to discuss that. I do want to say one thing, though, that I think is important. If you feel that you have been sexually harassed and want to come to the commission and file a complaint, you must work for an employer that has 15 or more employees.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=749.0,847.04"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/8","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Otherwise, we do. We cannot take a complaint. So does this sound as if it's more assault? Indeed, it sounds like a criminal offense, although. Well, yes. If you'd like to respond quickly. Yes. I guess we are referring to, you know, as far as we get the stuff from him. Okay. Well, our guest has just responded. Unfortunately, her commission does not handle criminal offenses. So we wish you well with your case, though. Oh, okay. And thank you for sharing it. What kinds of limitations are you dealing with? Okay. One is the number of employees. 15 employees. Unfortunately, if you have less than 15 employees, you're not covered by either federal or state law. The other thing is that the woman must file within six months of the act of discrimination. Now, the wisest policy would be to do it as quickly as possible. But if she does not go with in a timely fashion, then we can no longer accept the complaint. But, you know, this leaves out a lot of folks, right? It sure does. And I mean, we can get into that as to why it was passed that way. But I don't know if you want to take the time. Okay.

Needless to say, they know I don't like it, and I certainly know what the female anatomy looks like without being constantly reminded. I've talked to my boss, Mr. Smith, but he says men will be men. They don't mean any harm. And you should know that. You'll just have to live with it. I don't have to live with it. But what would you do? Okay, we have another instance. Now. Where does that fall on the scale of. Well, that certainly falls within the category of creating an environment. And I think it's important that people know that the employer is liable for the acts of its representatives if the supervisor in that particular workplace is not doing something about such a complaint, which a female may make, that young woman, for example. Then the company is responsible for the act of sexual harassment. Now, although there's been nothing physical in there, creating that kind of environment for women is illegal. If the women complain, I don't think any judge would have a problem with that at all. So, Sheryl, the verbal and the pictorial renderings of sexual anatomy parts. That's also harassment. Yes, it is. Very much so. And today, as I told the 20th and five years ago, Governor Hughes passed a law in the state of Maryland, an executive order stating that sexual harassment at work is illegal.

Um, I was recently fired from a job because a young woman accused me of sexually harassing her. It was later discovered that she had lied and I was reinstated. However, nothing was done to her.

I beg your pardon? Was the woman your supervisor or a. I was the manager and she was one of my employees. She was a subordinate? Yes. Wow. That is a very unusual situation. Normally, it's the person in power who becomes the harasser. But he was accused and accused wrongfully. I see. And it later it was later found out that she lied. Now, what do you tell this particular man who's been victimized? If he can prove worth if it is proven through witnesses that she lied, that it was a frivolous charge, I would say the employer has the right to fire this woman. It's a very serious allegation. Can he go to the Maryland commission and get recourse? No. That's a very difficult question to ask a person who felt that she had lied. I had a conversation, first of all, when my employer fired and he told me that several women on the job had accused me of sexually harassing them.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=1248.33,1368.31"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/11","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I was devastated because it was just such a it was off to lie.

What about dress and their personal manner and so forth? Well. To the to the limit of the law address is not an issue. Just because a woman wears seductive clothing does not make her a person who is going to arrest another person. There might be some people in the audience who think the three of us are dressed seductively. It's a matter of taste. One doesn't know. The the the issue of credibility really comes forth when you have a hearing or when you have an investigation. In the end, it's a question of whom do you believe?

Okay. Let's go to our studio audience for a question or comment. Yes, ma'am. Yes. I'd like to know, can you draw the line between sexual harassment and sexual discrimination? Yes. Sexual discrimination is treating a female differently from treating a male. Okay. In other words, what's a form of sexual discrimination? If an employer chooses a male who is as qualified or less qualified than a female, but chooses him simply because he's male? That's sex discrimination. That's for promotion. That's for pay. That's for all terms and conditions of employment, starting from hiring to promotion to layoff to termination. Sexual harassment. The sexual harassment is has the sexual connotation. It's a dimension of set of sex discrimination. I may as well put this in now for you, for the audience's knowledge. You have sex discrimination, which is the overall topic there, sexual harassment, which we've been discussing. And pregnancy also comes under the the title of sex discrimination. It is now illegal to fire or not to hire a person simply because she is pregnant. Okay. Okay. Again, that applies to workplaces where they're at least 15. You learn fast. Yes. And that's a real problem. It certainly is. I take a lot of calls at the agency from people who want to file complaints. And I always feel. Really bad to have to say to a person after we've gone through this discussion. By the way, how many people work for your company? And they say seven.

So therefore, there's a lot of documentation. It's always important to document, and it's always important that you have someone else to be in your corner when it's necessary to stop some of this harassment. Going to file charges is not always the steps that you can take if you try to stop this before you go for those formal complaints. But if you cannot stop, then it's necessary to file those complaints. Let me ask you a quick question now. What's sexual harassment to one person? Isn't necessarily sexual harassment to another, is it? That's correct. When you have two consenting adults, that is definitely not sexual harassment. I've done this workshop a lot with employers and employees, and men are generally outraged that, you know, they had an affair. I mean, why? Why is it harassment? It's harassment because a person has the right to say, stop, I don't want to do this anymore.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=1681.07,1784.46"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And at that point, if if the employer is insensitive, that's harassment. Okay. Let's go to another call and bring them in. Hi. You're on City Line live. Hi. Do you want to go ahead and employ this giant man? And. It's the first. It wasn't too bad. Um, it was just a few women there. Okay? The harassment wasn't as bad as it is now. As time goes on, it's getting worse. You tell these people, your coworkers, that you know, you don't want them touching, hugging, feeling and getting real mushy on the job, you know? And you don't want to hurt their feelings because you like every woman. I'm a very outgoing person. But what can you do to really stop this and tell these people that you don't want them touching you? But first of all, have you told them you don't want them touching you? You know, I tell them I say, don't do that. I have even threatened them that my husband may walk in, you know, on the job to see me about something. You shouldn't have to do that. Okay. What would you say to her, Cheryl? Well, I would say don't worry about hurting his feelings, first of all. I mean, sometimes if you try to couch things in a way that, you know, you're trying to be nice, the essence of your message escapes them so that she has an obligation to say, don't do this. She can try to do it in a nice way. But if he doesn't get catch on, then you have to be more assertive about it. Cheryl, do you remember becoming assertive? Yes, I do agree. You can go to the person that's over top, the foreman or the overseer in that particular office to see to it that they can stop this for you.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=1785.18,1880.01"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And if not, maybe you can suggest that a workshop needs to be done on sexual harassment whereby everyone in the office or the department or division as a whole can see that sexual harassment is a problem and that it's something that needs to be dealt with so they can also identify it. If it's handled in a way that's a very important point. An employer's obligation is prevention. Every company should have a sexual harassment policy, clearly stated, clearly visible. It should be in a policy manual or discussed in the interview when a person applies for a job so that an employer does have an obligation here, we're going to get up the address and phone number for both the organizations up on the screen. But before we go, we want to find out from you, why aren't there more complaints? Why why aren't more women coming out and saying, I'm being harassed, you know, instead of calling in city the line, Weren't they coming to the meeting? We are. About 20% of our complaints are sex discrimination complaints. Of those, I would say on a in a good year, perhaps 8% are sexual harassment. The truth is that most women do not want to file. They are afraid of their jobs. Remember, women and Cheryl knows this are on the lower level, the lower ladder of of the economic force. We have lots of women who are single, single household family heads. You're going to think twice before you say, well, I'm going to file a charge, because the chance there is a chance that an employer will get angry and terminate or employment. What's a woman to do? So you would suggest, if you could give me a brief answer, that she should just go ahead and file to stop and document and ask you? Very important.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=1880.61,1982.01"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/16","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"All right. Thank you so much, Sheryl Wainwright and Ruth Marcus, both of you, for discussing the topic today. We really appreciated your being here. We're going to take a break and come right back to t month here in the newscast. So please stay with us. And. So. Good afternoon. Topping today's news cap for the past several weeks, housing conditions of black families on the eastern shore have come under intense scrutiny. Last summer, we took our satellite and cameras to the Eastern shore, and this is what we found. This is Maryland's worst, a county home for the tourist mecca of Ocean City. It's a county that contains enormous wealth and stifling poverty. Almost side by side, blacks on Maryland's Eastern Shore make up one fourth of county residents. They support 11 churches, a few small businesses, and one countywide organization. The worst? The county branch of the ACP. This is the other side of Worcester County. The side tourists don't often get a chance to see. It's the side where mostly black folk live on dirt roads with no paving and outhouses with no indoor plumbing. Anyone care for a drink of water, as you've seen already, that in many of the situations you do not find the existence of the dirt roads and in a white area you do not find that in the you don't find the privies in housing, you know, in a white area. Those things, yes. I'm not saying they don't exist, but it's, you know, prevailing. It's going to be exist in the black community, in the unincorporated areas. According to a report published by the Maryland State Conference of the NAACP. Blacks in Worcester County are far more likely to reside on unpaved roads than are whites. Housing conditions of rural blacks frequently are unsafe, dangerous and an immediate threat to public health.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=1982.37,2197.66"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Discrimination, the report says, has been a part of Worcester County since slavery first began there in the 1600s. Anytime you see that the counties. Roughly a third black. But yet when you see the percentage of just discrepancies in all these areas, they you find that the majority of them are black. That constitutes discrimination to me. And a pattern of discrimination through the years. For years, Leon Blake has been seeking county government assistance to get a road paved in his area and help for home repairs. Leon Blake has lived in Worcester County for over 30 years. He has never gotten that help. No. You know, one thing they said they were going to pay the blacktop this road to sell. So that's what that's all up tosee. And what has happened? Have they done it? No, they haven't done it yet. Blacks make up 26.2% of the Worcester County population, yet 71% of households on dirt roads in the county are black households. When presented with these statistics, governmental units typically say that their policies on road paving are racially neutral, and they did not consciously intend to discriminate against blacks in the paving of county roads. However, the conditions of black residents in some parts of Worcester County, like the unincorporated areas near Berlin and Snow Hill and Poco smoke, tell a totally different story. The NAACP has highlighted the plight of low income Eastern Shore families by visiting the area and by taking such national figures as Jesse Jackson on a tour of black living conditions there. Joining me now to discuss upcoming ACP plans to address the situation is Dr. Emmett Burns, regional director of the ACP. Dr. Burns, thank you for joining us this afternoon. You made your trip to the Eastern Shore.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=2198.68,2319.65"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"In late September. We made our trip last summer after viewing the tape. How have conditions changed, if at all? They have changed for the worst. We've had a year's light. Almost since you were there. When you took your trip. So what did you find? We found. Hovels, homes, chanties shacks, houses unfit for animals to live in. We found houses with no toilets inside or outside. We found a house with no panes in those screens or windows. We saw conditions where solar water met you in the front yard and out back. The same thing we saw sick children in need of medical care. We saw old women, some young whose minds are demented and they don't seem to know how to get out of the conditions that they're in. I saw conditions worse than I've ever seen. Dr. Burns, what do you think has allowed these conditions to continue for such a long period of time? Plain old time neglect and don't care is an. Uh, there has not been a serious initiative, uh, to make for better living conditions of the poor on the Eastern Shore. We intend to change that. Uh, it's a situation of here. No. Poor C no, Poor C, no poor feel, no poor. And it's upon our shoulders to lift that level of consciousness to this state where you're right in the mouth of the ocean and Ocean City. Not that we want to place blame, Dr. Burns. We're not here to do that. But if we had to do some finger pointing in terms of why these conditions have allowed to proliferate, how would we point a finger at one state of Maryland, its governmental officials to. The local officials who just don't care. I have never seen county commissioners, with the exception of a few who are so non caring in my life.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224#t=2321.21,2475.58"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/105486/file/206224/transcript/48887/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Three.

So briefly in other news, or finally, Renita Hulse, an outstanding 10th grade student who attends Lawrence Penguin Junior-senior High School is Cityline student of the Week. Renita is a teen mother, beating the estimated dropout odds of 5000 to 6014 parents in Baltimore City. She is enrolled in Parklands Entrepreneurial program. We need his exceptional skills.

Renee Moore and Angela Winbush are not two women, and as most of the popular duos female fans will testify, Renee is not married to Angela. The two have known each other since 1977 and both have been involved in music since an early age. Angela comes from Saint Louis, where she performed with a number of bands, which eventually led her to a job with Stevie Wonder's celebrated Wonder Love group. Renee grew up in Los Angeles, where he was actively involved in the L.A. Philharmonic training program in 1977. Renee and Angela met in L.A. and the two have been collaborating their musical talents since then. My second video features a group of which I am particularly proud. They call themselves Star One, and they are product of the Baltimore music scene. Originally, the group consisted of four brothers and a family friend, and they called themselves LA Indiana. Ironically, of the four brothers in the group, it was the youngest who realized from the start that their destiny was in music. After the addition of a sensational female vocalist, they changed their name to Star Point and began on their professional career with two of the hottest hits around here, Rene and Angela and Baltimore's Lone Star Point.

She says, You've done it again. We've managed to enhance and assist the black community by showing the full spectrum from yos to puppies, and they've reminded us of the richness that we share as a people. Keep up the good work. That's from Deborah Chandler, also of Baltimore. Our final letter is from Cynthia Silber. Your program on babies was very interesting.
