In Baltimore, a media re-
lation's specialist for the
NAACP, assured The Okla-
homa Fugle that "the boycott
goes on." In the Associa-
tion's release dated Oct. 15,
Kweisi Mfume, president
and (. EO, said there is grow-
ing support of the nation-
wide boycott of the Adam s
Mark Hotel chain. Despite
threatened lawsuits, mans
organizations have can-
celled plans to hold events
in an Adam's Mark hotel.
Mfume said, "The
NAACP is committed to
stand with those whenever
and wherever we can who
are in support of our boy-
cott. It is important to end
discriminatory practices in
all areas of life. In the hospi-
tality or hotel industry, peo-
ple pay their hard-earned
money to have the privilege
to stay at certain locations
and be treated like every
other guest."

Bishop Pearson con-
tinued in his speech by
saying, "in this world cli-

make commitments with

the crowd in chanting,
"One Tulsa!"

FALLBACK
Daylight-saving time ends Oct. 28 at 2 a.m. This is a
chance to regain the hour of sleep you lost in April.
Or, maybe you could use the extra hour to spend
some quality time with your mother-in-law, as
Mother-in-Law Day falls on the same day.
On Oct. 17, in front of
an enthusiastic crowd
gathered at Bartlett
Square in Downtown
Tulsa Bishop Carlton
Pearson made his official
announcement for the
candidacy of Mayor.
Bishop Pearson's' vi-
sion for Tulsa is to make
better use of our natural

sitive some

ployees can
be in their

with
renowned opera singer
Simon Estes when he ar-
rived last week for his role in
Gershwin's Porgy and Bes>.
It would appear that the
hotel would have cautioned
its employees to be courte-
ous and sensitive to all
guests of color, not just
celebrities. Certainly, it
w ould seem that they would
be cordial to a guest with
Estes' visibility.
Bishop bids for mayor post
resources and not limit
our thinking. Pearson
said, "Tulsa is an unfin-
ished masterpiece and it
is time Tulsa grew into
the 21st century in eco-
nomics, education, race
relations, municipal rela-
tions, national and inter-
national relations."
In his candidacy, he
wants to "unify Tulsa
from north to south” and
to help Tulsa become the
