We're live on City Line. Hi, I'm Jackie Hall. And I'm Betty Bentley, filling in for Dan Henson. Black children are our future, and black child development is a major issue. Some educators feel that the black child's education must involve social, physical, spiritual, as well as cultural experiences far more than any other ethnic child. Parents also have a large role to play in the education of the black child if they are to reach their fullest potential. What is the responsibility of parents and rearing of the black child? How can they improve the black child's chances of living a healthy, well-balanced life? Dealing with the issue of racial segregation in baltimore city public schools. I'm t martire and we'll talk about that. And on this week's entertainment page, we have last year's hottest music video, Michael Jackson's Beat It. Plus, Weird Al Yankovic satirical take off called Eat It. One group that is trying to help the black child reach its fullest potential is the new child development and primary school. We'll be joined by the director, Deborah Carter. We'll also be joined by Dr. E Curtis Alexander, child education specialist, will discuss the special needs of the black child. That healing continues with black child development in a moment. Welcome back live to City Line on a beautiful spring day in Baltimore. Our topic today is Black Child Development. I'm Betty Bentley, filling in for Dan Henson. And it's a pleasure to be here. Well, I'll tell you, it's a pleasure having you. And I think we're going to have a good show today.

And Dr. E Curtis Alexander, who is a clinical urban allergist and consultant and author as well. Yes. I want to ask you a first question, and I want to get your initial responses to it. Considering all of the negative influences on black people in general and of course, on black parents. Is it possible within taking in consideration racism, the economic impact on families and so forth? Is it possible to raise healthy black children? It certainly is. But we have to be conscious as educators and parents in terms of what we give our children. We have to monitor the activities that they participate in. But it certainly is possible, and we should all be about doing that, raising healthy black children. Dr. Alexander. It's possible. It has to be possible because we, as members of the human family, intend to continue to perpetuate ourselves in a wholesome, healthy manner. But we have to be very clear about one fundamental premise in American society. American education is based on the value of white supremacy, domination and black deprecation and subordination. If we can understand that, then we can begin to understand that what's normal for America is abnormal for us, and what's abnormal for us is normal for America. You hold that thought for one second. We took our City Line cameras to the new era daycare center this past week to get a look at their method of educating our beautiful black children. Let's take a look. I am the black child. Give me, I beg you, a world where I can walk tall and proud. Train me as is your duty unto me. To love myself, my people, and to build and maintain a great nation.

One such group in Baltimore City is at the new Area Child Development and Daycare Center here in Edmondson Village. Since its beginning in 1977, New Air Education Inc. has served over 400 children in its preschool and first and second grade programs. On one level, the traditional subjects like science and nature, language, arts, geography, phonetics, social studies, health and mathematics are taught. But on another level, the emphasis at this community based institution is unique in that it addresses the total well-being of the child, the social, physical, spiritual, as well as the cultural. Program Director I use Abraham Hall. Nothing that you teach is void of culture. Maybe I should start there. Nothing that you teach is void of culture and we like to think that it is, but it's not the symbols that you use. For an example, a representative of somebodies culture. So we try to give them the dominant culture here in America as well as some of their own culture. Culture. In a math lesson would include numbers in Kiswahili learning some African symbols to count by using cowry shells as opposed to clowns, those type of things. So the lessons would be primarily the same is what you use to get that lesson across and how you get that lesson across that makes us unique. Less about Africa is about our capital. The theoretical basis of new era has its roots in the belief that education must be involved in every aspect of the child's experiences. Yoga and meditation are incorporated to introduce, balance and focus to the children.

You're going to run around with children who are going to be inattentive. Those kind of problems, we try to we eliminate a lot of behavior problems by making sure that you eat properly, that you eat things that come from the earth, that we add that there are as few chemicals in them as possible. The job of parents and child development professionals to improve the lives of black children. It's not an easy task if we are to believe the statistics which are grim, to say the least. According to statistics released in 1982 by the National Black Child Development Institute, 45% of all black children live in families headed by single mothers. In Baltimore City alone, the figure is a staggering 53% for black households with children under 18. And this is according to a recent Sun Papers report. 42% of all black children live in poverty. As many as 40% of the 500,000 children estimated to live in foster care may be black. And black children comprise 41% of all students assigned to classrooms for the educational mentally retarded. Dr. MAXINE Collier, president of the Black Psychiatrists of Metropolitan Baltimore, acknowledges the impact of these statistics on the development of the black child. I would say that successful child rearing in this society involves knowledge of all the principles of child development and rearing for any parent raising a child in this society, plus some more, and that some more. You are asking that some more is an awareness of the racial subtleties and awareness of some of these facts and factors which may tend to denigrate or make the child feel denigrated.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=390.08,534.68"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/5","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Growing up in the society. In the book The Developmental Psychology of the Black Child. Amos in Wilson writes that far more so than any other ethnic child, the shape of the black child's intellect and personality is determined by the concept of race, race awareness and race politics, economics, propaganda, etc., And psychology, which fails to treat these items as major variables, is not adequate to deal with the black child. We see children at a new era as being diamonds in the rough, but diamonds nevertheless. So we work very, very hard as skilled jewelers to make sure that that diamond comes out and shines to its fullest glory. I want my children to know the greatness of Chaka. I want them to learn about Hannibal. I want them to have this because inside of them, it'll start stirring them and they'll start saying to themselves, I can be a Hannibal. I can be a Chaka.

Our topic today is Black child development. And we'll be back right after these words. Stay with us. They live on City Line. And as we've said, our topic is Black child development. If you'd like to join in our discussion, please call us at 4113, 13 and we'd love to take your calls. Let me ask Debra Cotter and Dr. E! Curtis Alexander in looking at some of the statistics from the report that we had just before the break, it talks about the 45% black female headed households. And in Baltimore City, 53%. And the percentage of black children in poverty. What kind of impact will some of these statistics have and the situations have on the development of black children who are found in these situations? First, I'd like to say that the impact is really relative to the home situation and what the parents in the home or what the parent, if it's one parent in the home, is how that parent is relating to that child, and then also how that parent tends to bring if it's a single mother who's raising children, what images, what other black males be they grandfather, be they brothers, be the uncles that those children can relate to and set up positive male images for the children.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=536.0,785.72"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/6","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"I get the impression that having a single parent does not necessarily mean doom for that child's development. A lot of it has to do with how that parent views themselves and what that parent is going to relate to the children. A lot of times what we do as parents are children following the same path that we've set up for them. Therefore, if we have an attitude of I can, I will. I must accomplish, I can, I will, I must achieve. Our children are going to emulate the same kinds of understandings. Therefore, because a mother may not have a high income does not necessarily mean that that child has to grow up and live the same kind of lifestyle. It depends on what we what our consciousness is and how we raise our children to be. Dr. Alexander, would you like to respond to that same question? First of all, I like to to say that we have to be very clear in 1984 that in this society we live in the West and a two parent family is a traditionally stabilizing form of the family structure. So inasmuch as we find ourselves devastated with the high divorce rate, the lack of marriages of parents who have children. And so we have disproportionate number of families that find themselves headed by females. We don't glorify this fact, and we don't lose time making excuses because it exists. We have to develop an alternative kind of sociology, sociological theory, psychological theory, and political and economic theory to compensate for the lack of another member of the family household and to put it forth in a practical manner. Whereas these units can continue to exist as a viable unit in spite of the devastation. All right. And we're going to bring in our home audience.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=787.34,903.32"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/7","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We did ask them to call us, and they've done just that. Hi. Do you want to join into in our discussion this morning? Hello. Would you like to join in our discussion? Okay. You had a question? Yes. I wanted to ask Dr. Alexander that. Given this theory, which may be wholly practical, how and where is that translated into application to the current society? And what I'm saying is that we are in the process of of those of us in various disciplines in trying to develop practical applications of theories to offset the devastation. A case in point, the kind of work that Professor Wilson has done and general psychology leads us to believe that in spite of the fact that there is only one member of the family being headed by the female, the female have to, first of all, understand that she has to assume both roles and has to understand that the extended family concept that the sister related to earlier has been broken down due to urbanization. We move from the rural kind of environments where the extended family concept was very viable and very doable. Once we move to the urban area, if we saw ourselves not needing that, we moved away from the support system that enabled us to overcome. We need to go back to that. Okay, let's try the phones one more time. Good. Hello. You live on City Line. Do you have a question or comment? Hello? Yes, please go ahead. Hello? You're in touch with City Line. Okay. We'll try that a little bit later. Let me just ask you something.

But on the other hand, it appears that based on the mother's stresses, whether from the financial situation or the racism that she herself has encountered, that she may pass that along to her children and thereby create some imbalances in the children. Can you can you feel. Well, I'm asking. I know it's an awful lot. I think that goes back to the point that I've been making, is that as parents, be we a male parent or female parent, that we have to be absolutely conscious of how our upbringing, of how the stress of racism, sexism, classism, all those things affect us, and that we make sure that those same things aren't translated covertly or overtly to our children. But isn't that really the key? It's are we healthy as black adults? What we have to be we may not be totally healthy, but we have to become totally conscious of what we say, what we do, how that is affecting our children, and also how their environment, their situation in school, their situation within the community, how that affects them. Exactly where do we begin? Where do we begin instilling in the children the confidence that they need, the understanding that they need to interact both with their own family and socially with other people? I think it's an educational process that we as individuals have to go through because we have been brainwashed. We have been subjected to a lot of negative things in terms of our own self. The first thing that we have to do is really to become more conscious ourselves.

Dr. Alexander I find a tremendous problem in terms of what constitutes mental health maintenance in American society for black people. We we have to come to grips with the fact that we presently exist in an unhealthy state as a people trying to survive the heinous realities of racism in American society. We have to come to grips with whereby in viable societies, when the individual cannot cope, the demands because of demands made on the larger by the larger society, institutions have to be developed by the people themselves to offer consolation, to offer inspiration, information and direction to the individuals, either as an individual family or one or two individuals themselves.

It's a very good point. One thing that we do at New Era is that we do work with our parents. It's not just a process of educating the children. You really have to when you go to be educating for change, you have to work with the parents and the parents or have a definite impact on what that child is going to be exposed to within their community. Therefore, we work very strongly in terms of our PTA bringing in speakers who talk about black child development, who talk about our African history, who talk about culture. We have experiences there not only for the children, but the parents as well. So it's. FOSTER Dr. Alexander But I go a little further in terms of my contention. I contend that it's impossible to offer a quality educational program for black children without the parents being involved in that process. I do not offer them the latitude that public schools offer them in regards to a PTA structure, because PTA structures are not pedagogical units that have nothing to do with learning. They are for people to to to buy flowers, to buy the principal a chair, to give a teacher a citation. We are talking about a parent structure that endemic to the overall operation of the center. And once we begin to arrive at those assumptions, then we can build an education institution that will enable the children and parents to kick back into the community and make those communities better places. Where should the parents begin? At what stage of the child's development are the parents Take an active and conscious role in where the child is coming along? Well, first of all, in terms of of of postnatal child development, parents have to understand that learning begins once the child comes out of the delivery system.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=1512.93,1617.75"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/12","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"How does the child learn who his or her parent are, who his or her mother is? A child learns that from sensory motor development, from tactile development, from the sense of smell. If you if you want to know when your child starts to learn. Once you develop an affinity, once your child learns what you smell like and another person comes in who doesn't smell like you, and the child reacts to that, if you begin when a child is born, we have to understand that, then we can become more cautious after the kinds of things we do in subsequent years as to what our children are capable of learning in that manner. What sorts of things can parents do to tell whether or not their child is reacting to this kind of stimuli first? Well, the most concrete way in which a parent can tell when the child understands is is by their absence. If it of them, particularly in terms of the food, the form of the child uses, if that's the usual formula a child has been receiving, the child will automatically reject that kind of thing. So it depends on what you are exposing the child to as to the kind of reaction the child would give you to let you know that the child is aware of what's happening, what's not happening. Let me just read something from the book. And I mentioned the title of the book at the very beginning, and it did startled me. And it says here, and it's in the prenatal period.

Because as we all know, we come from our parents and our mother have of us for a period of nine months. And what affects the mother affects the child. Okay. We have a quick question from the audience. Welcome. Yes. I was wondering, Dr. Alexander, do you feel that we as black people get caught up in the ideal of what the role parenting is about rather than. Ourselves as caregivers towards our child. Our children. If this is so. Do you feel that there needs to be a reorganization of the black family structure? Well, in terms of a reorganization of black family structure, we have to come to grips with the fact that the strong, viable family unit that once existed is being broken down. It's continually eroding. What are the reasons for this? Because in American society, the value placed on black life, the value placed on black people is constantly being questioned. As a consequence, if the individual survival is threatened, the individuals make up the family. The family unit is threatened. The black family unit, as a functioning unit in America is no longer needed nor desired. So as couples, we need to understand our history and see ourselves as units of struggle rather than struggle units. Okay, we hold that thought for one second. We want to take a break and we'll be back in just a few seconds. Stay with us.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=1719.15,1845.91"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/14","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"We're back on 59 with the discussion on black child development. And we have a question from a young lady at the microphone. Good afternoon. I'd like to direct my question to Dr. Alexander. What effect do you feel that the mediums, the different mediums and all of the new technology dealing with the media? How do you feel this affects child development? And I'd also like to get your opinion on the articles that appeared in The Sun newspaper about black family life. Okay. Two questions. Okay. I can only legitimately respond to the first question because I'm not familiar with the articles that appeared in your newspaper. He's not from the area. Okay. Right. But in terms of the overall media onslaught, the way in which our leaders are picked and depicted by the media causes a lot of consternation and misery in our community simply because we don't know enough about our history to protect our leadership. A case in point is a subject of of a recent book that i've done on congressman adam clayton powell jr. I've had people to tell me throughout the country that they only knew negative things about this man who made it possible for a great number of legislation to be enacted that enhance the educational opportunities of not only black people, but Americans in general. So once we began to understand the effect that media has on black child development, then we will understand that the TV that babysits our children is also indoctrinating our children to a gross level of inferiority and subordination. So consequently, the idea of learning begins at a TV screen, and parents have to understand the impact of media in this regard. Exactly. Exactly. How can the child be taught these things at such an early age? I mean, black awareness is something that, to a young child is kind of a heavy concept.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=1941.05,2063.87"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/15","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"What sorts of things can you do to begin bringing this into the child's life? I think it's very important to start, as Dr. Alexander has said. You know, right at birth, dealing with children. I think a very critical point, as Amos Wilson has said in his book, comes around age 2 to 2 and a half when the child is really beginning to develop language. And that has a lot of impact on how his consciousness develops. That's why in terms of the home environment, as well as the preschool environment, that you have images that you have pictures that you have books that you have information that reflects that child in a positive light. So through our books, through the games, through the activities, there are many African games that children can play. All those kinds of things need to go into working with the child. Okay. Let me say one thing to him that first of all, we have to refute the contention that race is a heavy concept. If you are saying that race is a heavy concept, you are saying that your mother and father who produce you are too heavy to deal with. You are saying that the God who created you to have to deal with. So we have to look at race. The images of of race in the world are from the Olmec head, 5000 years, the pharaohs said 15,000 years. Martin Luther King, Mary McLeod Bethune in this calendar year as a beginning point at what we began to understand that our children are born in this world and they have to develop a command of themselves, which includes who they are. And they don't happen to be black. They were born black. Wow.

We'll take a break and come back with T and the news. Good afternoon. Topping today's news cap, the popularity of presidential candidate. The Reverend Jesse Jackson continues to soar as momentum for his rainbow coalition intensifies nationwide. A recent California poll shows Jackson the leader in many respects. We get a report from Barbara Rogers. Jesse Jackson never thought his campaign was going to be an easy one. It hasn't been. But it has lasted longer than many thought it would at the outset. And according to a just released California poll, the Jackson campaign has had a positive effect not just on blacks, but all voters. 78% of those voters feel Jackson has raised issues important to everyone. Those same voters feel Jackson has more personal magnetism and charisma than Mondale and Hart, and that the Baptist minister is serious about his candidacy, not just on an ego trip. But despite those positive feelings. The majority of voters polled, 66%, believe Jackson is not qualified to be president. But supporters at Jackson's San Francisco campaign headquarters believe the image of their candidate will change by June polls. You know, you have to take it almost day to day with people in California. So I do believe in closer to the June time when the campaign is full bloom, candidates are here themselves and they the public actually gets to see them and have their hands on them that, you know, they have different perspective on people at that time.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=2164.19,2406.09"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/17","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Initially, some people had suggested that Jesse Jackson should run for the presidency. They said his candidacy might have a negative effect on the Democrats in November. But the California poll shows that most voters here don't believe that. They say that whatever happens, Jesse Jackson's candidacy will not make it more difficult for the Democrats to beat Ronald Reagan in November. This is Barbara Rogers reporting. The success of Mr. Jackson's Rainbow Coalition will make it easier for black candidates to be accepted in the future. So says former Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm. Chisholm was in Baltimore Friday night attending a Jesse Jackson fundraiser. She says there is no question in her mind that if Jesse Jackson were not black, he would be looked at entirely differently. The National Conference of Black Mayors has endorsed a Reagan administration proposal allowing employers to pay young people lower than the minimum wage for work during the upcoming summer months. The mayor has passed a resolution supporting the sub minimum wage plan as an experimental measure to deal with high youth unemployment. Also, D.C. Mayor Marion Barry has been elected president of the conference, which is now ten years old. Baltimore school system has come under attack by local advocates for the handicapped. The focus of the complaint is the Joseph CE Briscoe School in West Baltimore, one of three vocational high schools for students who are mildly retarded or have other learning disabilities. The Maryland Advocacy Unit for the developmentally disabled more charged that Briscoe has been maintained as a segregated school for black students, while white students have been assigned to two other schools. This morning I spoke with David Chaffin, director of More, to get a better understanding of their complaint. We haven't yet filed suit. What we've done is we filed a formal complaint with the Office for Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education, alleging that one of the three level, five day program, city high schools, especially designed for handicapped children, is racially segregated.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=2406.72,2519.55"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/18","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"And the reason for that is that the school is nearly 100% black. It is the only school in the city for children this age that has a special program for emotionally handicapped children. And despite that fact, and despite the fact that children there receive an appropriate education, generally the vast majority of white students are referred to the two other city schools, whereas black students tend to be disproportionately represented at Briscoe. And what is it that concerns you about that? Well, in 1954, the United States Supreme Court said in the case of Brown versus Board of Education that separate but equal was not possible. It separate but equal meant and unequal, and that was unconstitutional. And it's our view that children should attend as handicapped children do with mainstream education and mainstream means to the maximum extent possible, attending school with non handicapped children. And it should be also attending mean attending school with children of all races and all national origins. Your charge is not that Briscoe offers inferior facilities either. No, in fact, the school is. From all that we can see as good as either of the other two schools in this category, Carol Park or Venable. The problem is that there's something inherently unequal about a racially segregated school. And it's that part of the problem that we're addressing. How long have you been aware of the racial makeup and been concerned with the racial makeup? The situation with Briscoe. But we've been concerned as an agency, I would say, the last three years. But we had hoped that the city, through its massive changes in the special education program, would also change the method of assignment of handicapped children to those three schools. What's happened is, unfortunately, the patterns have been perpetuated.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=2520.57,2632.23"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/19","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"There are a number of situations in which specialist children in special education are assigned to.

That pattern has, in fact, been changed. Not completely. But major progress has been made. The pattern of assignment of black handicapped children disproportionately to Briscoe, however, has not been changed. And that's something that we've tolerated as long as we felt we could. Jeff Kim adds that by filing the civil rights complaint, Mott hopes that the city school system will voluntarily desegregate. BRISCOE Hi. The world of entertainment was dealt another devastating blow this week with the death of legendary jazz great Count Basie. Basie was 79 years old. He was buried yesterday in Harlem. Judd Rose has a report. He was born William Basie in Red Bank, New Jersey, in 1904. His mother was his first piano teacher and Fats Waller his second. He spent the early Depression years playing with Benny Morton's band in the Midwest. Benny taught me an awful lot by just watching him, you know. I mean, I had no idea that I was watching him for any reason at all, but just that I was crazy about him. By 1935, Count Basie had successfully started his own orchestra. Its trademark was always a simple swinging style with a strong rhythm section. You couldn't listen to his music without at least tapping your toes. He composed music to one of his biggest hits was 1:00 Jump, which became his orchestra's theme song. The big band era finally ended, but Basie's career continued to flourish. He went on to play with some of the most popular singers of the fifties and sixties.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093#t=2634.51,2745.54"},{"id":"https://marmia.aviaryplatform.com/collections/948/collection_resources/85890/file/174093/transcript/47234/annotation/20","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"Sinatra and Bennett.

But none of that kept Count Basie from attending a White House ceremony where he was awarded a lifetime achievement award by President Reagan. Jazz matured under his leadership.
