Jacksonville Man Sought For Georgia Murder


Victim Shot In Front

Of 4- Year-old Son;

Sister of NFL Player

VALDOSTA, Ga. Detective Wanda Edwards said
Thursday morning, "We are still looking for' Julonda
Clayton. We have received a lot
of calls from around the country
S' saying he has been seen but
none of them have panned out."
The hope is that Julonda
Lecedrick Clayton, 28, will
show up in his hometown,
Jacksonville' so that he can be
arrested as a suspect in the mur-
der of Deidre Miller, 29.
Ms. Miller was found shot in
Julonda L. her car Tuesday morning, two
Clayton houses from her home in
Suspect Lowndes County, Georgia.

Supreme Court Ruled Against
Execution Of Murderers Under 18
The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that it is against the con-
stitution to execute murderers who were 18 or under
when they committed their crime. Prior to this ruling, 19
states in the U. S. were able to give the death sentence to
16 and 17-year olds. This ruling turns over the death
sentence of 72 inmates on death row for murder. Florida
passed legislation in 2004 that limited the use of the,
death penalty for those who committed crimes when they
were children.

U.S. Postage Rates To Increase
A two-cent boost in the price of a postage stamp was
approved Tuesday by the independent Postal Rate
Commission. The recommendation must go to the
Postal Service's Board of Governors for final action.
Postage rates last increased in June 2002.
This new rate is expected to go into effect in January.
The increase is needed so the post office can make a $3.1
billon escrow payment required by Congress. A bill that
would eliminate that payment and make other changes in
postal operations was approved by the House but has not
yet passed the Senate.The rate changes are: First-class

Why The Noose At A Jacksonville School?


New Black Panther Party members (shown here in a file photo) are questioning the

It may be difficult for
many people under 50 today
to fully grasp the courage
Rosa Parks displayed 50
years ago while sitting on a
Montgomery, Alabama pub-
lic bus. After all, one might
think, all she did was say no.
In fact, Rosa Parks, who
died October 24 at age 92 in
her adopted hometown of
Detroit, did far more. For, as
she well understood and her
tormenters immediately real-
ized, her refusal to give up
her seat in the middle of a bus
to a white male rider and
move to the "colored section"
at the back was an unaccept-
able transgression of the
South's established, pervasive
order of racial segregation-if
you're black, get back: one
that could be punished by any
force, including murder.
Remember, earlier that
same year of 1955 a fourteen-
year-old black Chicagoan,
Emmett Louis Till, visiting
relatives in a small
Mississippi town, had been
brutally kidnapped, tortured,
and murdered for having
wolf-whistled at a white
woman-and his killers had
brazenly been acquitted by an
all-white jury. So, when Rosa
Parks said no, and the city
police were called to arrest
her, she had, literally, put her
life at risk.
But she had done some-


CLARA McLAUGHLIN CRISWELL
PUBLISHER
EDITOR-IN-CHIEF


thing else, too. She had lit the
match-the resulting 381- day
Montgomery Bus Boycott-to
the nonviolent mass-action
movement for racial justice
that was to transform
America.
In the 1940s Americans-
had gone abroad to fight 'a
war to make the world safe
for democracy. Rosa Parks'
act-her "individual expres-
sion of a timeless longing for
human dignity and freedom,"
in Martin Luther King Jr.'s
words-signaled that now the
war for democracy would be
waged at home in the most
dramatic way possible. It is,
of course, an exaggeration to
say that Rosa Parks alone, or
even largely, "made" the
Civil Rights Movement of
the 1950s and 1960s.
She was not the "mother"
of the Movement. As she her-
self constantly pointed out,
many, many blacks (and
some whites) in Montgomery
and elsewhere throughout the
country had been working
diligently for years awaiting
the "right moment."
Some, like Thurgood
Marshall and the "Brain
Trust" of the NAACP Legal
Defense Fund, worked in the
legal sphere, challenging the
network of laws supporting
segregation. Others, includ-
ing activists in Montgomery,
had been preparing to chal-

lenge the public superstruc-
ture of racism on public
transportation, in parks,
beaches, swimming pools,
and at the polls.
Rosa Parks was part of
that network of civil rights
activists in Montgomery.
Indeed, she and her husband,
Raymond, had been involved
in civil rights work since the
1930s, and she herself was
secretary of the Montgomery
chapter of the NAACP.
So, in that sense, she was
as good a "representative" of
the will of African Americans
to grasp their full American
citizenship as can be found in
the twentieth century or arny
other.
Nonetheless, as she told
the story in later years, she
had not been looking that day,
December 1, 1955, to jump-
start the Movement in
Montgomery all by herself.
She simply wanted to get
home from her job as a seam-
stress at a department store to
prepare for a full evening of
civic work.
But when the bus driver
demanded her seat, Rosa
Parks made her stand. As she
explained in her 1992 autobi-
ography, My Story. "I was not
tired physically, or no more
tired than I usually was at the
end of a working day. I was
not old, although some peo-
ple have an image of me
being old then. I was forty-
two. No, the only tired I was,
was tired of giving in."
Parks was bailed out the
very night of her arrest-while
the leadership of the local


NAACP and the black
Women's Political Council
were leafleting the black
community with calls for a
bus boycott, and prevailing
upon a young minister, newly
arrived in town, named
Martin Luther King, Jr. to
take the presidency of the
new effort. A year later, the
U.S. Supreme Court invali-
dated Alabama's racist public
transit statutes.
The struggle took a bitter
economic toll on the Parks'
and the ever-present threat of
violence forced them to move
from the South. America
itself is indebted to U.S.
Representative John
Conyers, Democrat of
Michigan, for his steadfast
support of the Parks (Mr.
Parks died in 1977) for the
lasi four decades.
According to Rosa Parks'
obituary in the New York
Times, she would recount
with amusement that in later
years children often wanted
to "know if I was alive during
slavery times. They would
equate me along with Harriet
Tubman and Sojourner Truth
and ask if I knew them."
Chronologically speak-
ing, the children were wrong,
of course. But I'd say that in
connecting Rosa Parks to
those two legendary freedom
fighters of an earlier time, the
children got an important
facet of their American histo-
ry exactly right.

At some time in our lives,
most of us will make or assist in
making funeral arrangements

This information is intended to
answer many of the questions
you may have about arranging a
funeral.
The funeral is an important
ritual. As difficult 'as it may' be
to face, most of us accept death
as an inevitable part of life.
Today, a dignified funeral
ceremony and opportunity to
say "good-bye" to the deceased
remain an important part of life.
Although the exact nature
of funeral rites and ceremonies
can differ greatly 'from one cul-

many ways they have remained

"There's Always Something
Happening On The First Coast"


Healthy Walking For Hunger With The
Jacksonville Chapter Links, Inc.
Last weekend was great for those early risers
and healthy lifestylers who joined The Jacksonville
Chapter of Links, Inc. for a morning of fun and fitness.
Participants not only had a great two-mile walk, there
was also great music and they received the latest health,
beauty and fitness tips during the two miles-eight laps
event inside the Gateway Mall. This is always a popu-
I lar event that everyone looks forward to each year.
"The Walk for Health and Hunger is an annual
health awareness event of The Jacksonville Chapter of
The Links Inc. This event is a National endeavor with a
two- fold purpose: To encourage healthy activities in
our communities and to support local soup kitchens,"
states chapter. president, Mrs. Gloria Dean.
Sergeant Ivan Scott a U.S. Army Recruiter got
everyone off to a healthy b1cginnin x% ith a warm up
exercise. And even though the participants were most-
ly women and children, Sergeant Ivan challenged the
group as only Exercise Guru Donna Richardson-
Joyner could!
Did you know that a two-mile walk equals eight
laps around the Gateway Mall? So now you know you
can combine healthy walking with the shopping that all
ladies love to do. And as walkers completed each lap,
they received a string of green or white beads distrib-
uted by members of The Links. The beads helped keep
track of the laps as well as being great motivation to
continue walking.
There was water and fruit for the participants.
Staff from Shands of North Florida conducted Health
Screenings joined by Infinite Beauty Options, Golds
Gym, Get Paid to Travel, Northeast Florida
Community Hospice, Regal Cinema and Nova
University. The Jacksonville Chapter, Links, Inc. is a
membership organization whose purpose is to promote
and engage in educational, civic and intercultural activ-
ities in order to enrich the Jacksonville community.
The local chapter provides support to the Sickle
Cell Anemia Foundation, Dignity U Wear, Ritz
Chamber Players, Paxon Middle School, the Coalition
on Organ Donation and many other community organ-
izations. Their fund raising events support these com-
munity initiatives.

Crist Urges Legislature To Stand

Firm On Dealth Penalty


TALLAHASSEE -
Attorney General Charlie
Crist today wrote to House
Speaker Allan Bense and
Senate President Tom Lee
expressing his disagreement
with the Florida Supreme
Court's recent suggestion
that the Legislature change
current law governing the
imposition of the death
penalty in Florida.
The Attorney General
stated that the suggested
changes would weaken the
death penalty in Florida.
The Court recommended
that Florida law be amended
to require a unanimous vote
from juries before capital
punishment could be recom-
mended to a judge.
In his letter, Crist high-
lighted the fact that Florida
juries do not impose the
death penalty, but instead
make recommendations to
the trial judge. Several other
states allow juries to make a
final determination, but
Florida reserves that impor-
tant role for the trial judge,
who takes the jury's recom-
mendations into considera-
tion.
Florida law requires that
the jury and judge hear and
consider all factors that
might make a convicted
murderer a candidate for life
in prison instead of receiv-
ing the death penalty," Crist
wrote. "Therefore, the jury's
recommendation is an
informed action represent-
ing the collective wisdom of
12 everyday Florida citi-
zens."
Had the requirement for
a unanimous vote to recom-
mend been in place earlier,
serial killers such as Ted
Bundy, Aileen Wuornos and


other murderers would rot'
have met the fate they
deserved for their actions. ,


Juries recommended
death for both Bundy and
Wuornos by 10-2 votes.


UF Scientists Seek To Close

Cell Doors To HIV Invasion

GAINESVILLE, Fla.-- University of Florida researchers
have identified a biochemical code that a form of HIV uses
to access immune system cells and turn them into virus-mak-
ing factories.
New targets for HIV treatment might be found by decod-
ing the genetic makeup of this virulent version of the virus,
which can pick a biochemical lock and break into cells called
macrophages, UF scientists report this month in the Journal
of Virology. Researchers had set out to identify genetic bio-
markers of HIV-1, which emerges in the later stages of the
disease.
"Most times When people think about HIV, they think
about it infecting the T cells, the lymphocytes," said
Maureen Goodenow, the study's senior author and the
Stephany W. Holloway University Chair in AIDS Research
at the UF College of Medicine. "When HIV enters the
macrophage, it doesn't kill the cell, it uses it to create more
virus. If we can stop that, we can stop the virus. Not kill it
directly, but stop it'from getting what it needs to complete its
life cycle, a cell."
Guity Ghaffari, the study's lead author and an assistant
professor in pediatrics at UF's College of Medicine, said
specific forms of HIV-1 develop in late-stage AIDS.
"With the biomarker, we can predict the virus's emer-
gence over time," Ghaffari said. "A long-term goal is to use
this genetic information to design a vaccine that doctors can
use in combination with antiretroviral medications."
All strains of HIV-1 can invade T cells, the body's infec-
tion-fighting cells also known as lymphocytes. But they vary
in their ability to enter macrophages, the- long-living white
blood cells often considered the scavengers of the immune
system. The HIV-1 viruses that can infect both types of
immune cells share a genetic lineage that allows them to
chemically access macrophages through a series of ordered
interactions at the virus's outer coating, called its envelope,
the researchers noted.
To identify how HIV-1 can enter macrophages, UF
researchers took RNA and DNA samples from a group of 50
HIV-1 infected children 'and, through a series of steps,
sequenced the DNA and analyzed the genetic makeup.
They found that a region on the surface of the virus, gly-
coprotein 120, dictates how viruses get into macrophages. To
enter, the virus requires the presence of a molecule called
CD4 and certain co-receptors, or "locks," CCR5 or CXCR4,
on the macrophages' outer cell wall.

DAYTONA BEACH,
FLA When Bethune-
Cookmain College Trustee
Mary Alice Massey sat on
the committee searching for
a new president for historic
Bethune-Cookman College
two years ago, she was
immediately impressed with
the vision articulated by
candidate Dr. Trudie Kibbe
Reed. Her strategy to
enhance academic excel-
lence struck a cord of com-
patibility with her own phi-
losophy.
Reed was selected by the
committee in August 2004
to become the fifth president
of the college located in
Daytona Beach, Fla.
"I liked what Dr. Reed
had to say about academic
excellence and the direction
she wanted the college to
go," says Massey, a resident
of Jacksonville, Fla. and a
member of the B-CC
Trustee Board since 1996.
As a member of the
trustee committee on educa-
tional policies, Massey has
become well acquainted
with the College's continual
progress toward raising the


bar on academic standards.
"It was through my dis-
cussions with our Vice
President for Academic
Affairs and Provost, Dr. Ann
Taylor Green that I -first
became interested in the col-
lege's quest for academic
excellence," says Massey,
who served on that commit-
tee for eight continuous
years.
Together with her hus-
band Massey has established
the Robert B. and Mary
Alice. Massey "Excellence
in Teaching Endowment."
Their gift of $50,000 will be
used to enhance academic
excellence through incen-
tives for the faculty. The
couple own Massey
Properties, Inc., incorporat-
ed in July, 1985 as a wholly-
owned subsidiary of Massey
Motors, Inc., which has been
doing business in
Jacksonville since 1938.
Both companies are family-
owned and operated.
"We believe in Bethune-
Cookman College and the
leadership of President Reed
and Dr. Taylor Green. As
life-long members of the


Florida Conference of The
United Methodist Church,
we have come to appreciate
the college for its mission
and emphasis on a strong
liberal arts education
grounded in Christian val-
ues," said Robert Massey.
Bethune-Cookman .College
became affiliated with the
UMC in 1923.
Founded by the leg-
endary Mary McLeod
Bethune, B-CC enrolls
3,000 students and employs
141 faculty, 57 percent hold
the doctorate degree.
"The Massey's gift will
assist us in offering more
competitive salaries and
incentives for our faculty,"
says President Reed. "Well-
credentialed and experi-
enced professors and
instructors greatly enhance
the educational experiences
for the students. On behalf
of our entire college com-
munity, I am grateful to Bob
and Mary Alice Massey for
their endorsement of our
vision for the future, and for
becoming a part of our
founder's legacy of faith,
scholarship and service."

Thousands Honor Civil Rights Icon Rosa Parks


During Homegoing Celebration In Detroit


410 IP Pm


DETROIT-Thousands in
the audience held hands and
sang "We Shall Overcome"
as family members filed past
the casket before it was
closed just before noon at
the funeral of civil rights
pioneer Rosa Parks on


Wednesday, Novemb
Bishop Charles E
of Greater Grace Ten
the service for 4,000
packed in to say goo
the diminutive figui
sparked a civil rights
tion by refusing 50 ye


to give up her seat on a bus
in Montgomery, Ala.
"Mother Parks, take your
rest. You have certainly
earned it," Ellis said.
Former President
Clinton, his wife, Sen.
Hillary. Clinton, and others
paid their respects at Parks'
open casket before the start
of the funeral service that
$rs included the prayer in song
by mezzo-soprano Brenda'
Jackson.
Mourners waited in long
_ lines on the chilly morning
to honor Parks. Hours before
the funeral began, the line to
er 2. get one of the 2,000 avail-
illis III able public seats at the
iple led church extended more than
people two blocks in Parks' adopted
dbye to hometown.
re who Clinton once presented
revolu- Parks with the Presidential
-ars ago Medal of Freedom.


Prior to the start of the
service, black-suited ushers
in white gloves escorted
people to their seats.
More than 20 people
were scheduled to give
remarks. The Rev. Jesse
Jackson, who has called
Parks "the mother of a new
America," was also to speak.
Aretha Franklin was prepar-
ing to sing, and Philip R.
Cousin, a senior bishop of
the AME Church, had pre-
pared a eulogy.
As a white hearse carried
Parks' body from the
Charles H. Wright Museum
of African American
History, where viewing last-
ed until the pre-dawn hours,
dozens of people holding
pictures of Parks crowded
around it. As it began mov-


ing, they shouted, "We love
you."
Parks was 92 when she
died Oct. 24 in Detroit.
Nearly 50 years earlier, she
was a 42-year-old tailor's
assistant at a department
store in Montgomery, Ala.,
when she was arrested and
fined $10 plus $4 in court
costs for refusing to give up
her seat to a white man-on a
Montgomery city bus. Her
action on Dec. 1, 1955, trig-
gered a 381-day boycott of
the bus system led by the
Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
The U.S. Supreme
Court ruled in December
1956 that segregated seats
on city buses were unconsti-
tutional, giving momentum
to the battle against laws that
separated the races in public


accommodations and busi-
nesses throughout the South.
But Parks and her hus-
band Raymond were
exposed to harassment and
death threats in
Montgomery, where they
also lost their jobs. They
moved to Detroit with Rosa
Parks' mother, Leona
McCauley, in 1957.
Parks was initially going
to be buried in a family plot
in Detroit's Woodlawn
Cemetery, next to her hus-
band and mother.
But Swanson Funeral
Home officials confirmed
Tuesday that Parks would be
entombed in a mausoleum at
the cemetery and the bodies
of her husband and mother
also would be moved'
there.


Workers Speak Out In Recent Manpower Survey

costs include:


African Americans Starting to Catch Up In Online Usage
NEW YORK, NY -- The gap in Internet usage between
African Americans and whites still exists, but a report published
today by eMarketer shows that the gap is narrowing, and will
continue to narrow over the next decade. eMarketer's new report,
African Americans Online: Crossing the Digital Divide, finds that
usage among the African American population is now 48.7%,
which is still short of the 68.8% level among whites. However, as
the number of African Americans online increases and growth
among whites plateaus, that difference will decrease.
"The African American online market is gaining some
momeritum as more users come online and as blue-chip advertis-
ers reach out to this growing audience," says the author of the
report, Debra Aho Williamson, senior analyst at eMarketer.
African Americans now make up 10.5% of all US Internet users.
"Put another way, there are nearly as many African Americans
online as there are teens online in the US," says Ms. Williamson.
"African Americans are a strong potential market for broadband
services and for education, career-oriented and informational
content. They will also be among the early adopters of the mobile
Internet." Of course, critical barriers do remain. Chief among
them is that many African American households still do not have
a computer.

MGM MIRAGE Named Among 'Top 25 Companies
For African-Americans' by Black Professionals Magazine
LAS VEGAS -- MGM MIRAGE has been recognized as one
of the "Top 25 Companies for African-Americans," according to
the Fall Issue of Black Professionals Magazine. The list salutes
major corporations for. their workforce and supplier diversity ini-
tiatives, in addition to overall commitment to hiring diverse can-
didates. .MGM MIRAGE was cited for being the- first company
in the gaming industry to establish a voluntary diversity initiative
in 2000. In addition, the company's establishment of a board-
level diversity committee,, as well as a diversity council com-
posed.of top executives was also mentioned as best practices for
effectively championing diversity within the organization.
Also, the magazine named Debra Nelson, MGM MIRAGE
Vice President of Corporate Diversity & Community Affairs, to
its 2005 "Top 100 Blacks in Corporate America" list. According
to Black Professional Magazine, the list highlights the contribu-
tions of those who are "leading by example."

23 Killed in Rioting in Ethiopian Capital
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia Riot police deployed across the
Ethiopian capital firing guns and. lobbing grenades Wednesday to
quell a second day of protests over disputed parliamentary elec-
tions. At least 23 people were killed and 150 wounded, including
children, doctors and hospital workers said.
One man said police broke into his family's housing com-
pound firing, guns indiscriminately in their search for stone-
throwing demonstrators.
However, government Information Minister Berhan Hailu
said the casualty figures had been exaggerated and put the death
toll at 11 civilians and o.ne police officer. He said 54 officers and
28 civilians were injured.
The killing of civilians was a political setback for Prime
Minister Meles Zenawi, touted by the Bush administration as a
progressive African leader and a key partner in the war on terror.
The May 15 vote, which gave his ruling Ethiopian Peoples
Revolutionary Democratic Front control of 60 percent of the par-
liament, had been seen as a key test of Meles' commitment to
reform. Opposition parties say the vote and ballot-counting were
marred by fraud, intimidation and violence, and accuse the ruling
party of rigging the elections.

"It seems we have finally

and consumers are ready to

reaction to high gas prices,"
said Melanie Holmes, senior
vice president for
Manpower Inc.
"This is a red flag. to
employers. The survey
results show that 4.5 percent
of people have already
changed jobs and another 35
percent are thinking about it
in order to reduce expenses
associated with commuting.
Clearly, the price at the
pump is the newest threat to
employee retention."
There are steps employ-
ers can take to avoid
turnover attributed to the ris-
ing cost of commuting.
*Provide employees with
information about public
transportation options,
including bus and train
routes, park and ride options
and pricing details
*Add onsite services,
such as dry cleaning and
banking
*Offer telecommuting
*Establish a corporate

*Provide accommoda-

counts to help balance the
increased cost of fuel
*Raise mileage reim-
bursement to the new rate
announced by the Internal
Revenue Service in
September 48.5 cents per
mile (for use of personal
vehicles for business travel)
"Companies are facing
hardships related to the
spike in gas prices, but they
need to be sensitive to the
fact that employees are
experiencing a similar budg-
et crunch," said Holmes.
