Americans Riveted By Lesson in Civics
Date: 12 October 1991
By Jane Gross

In cities and towns far and wide, Americans took time out from their workaday lives yesterday to tune into an extraordinary civics lesson: the riveting collision before the Senate Judiciary Committee between Judge Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court nominee, and Anita F. Hill, the Oklahoma law professor who said she was sexually harassed by him. For a nearly a week now, since the charges became public, they have been topic No. 1 in offices and universities, in restaurants and on street corners, with many women celebrating the sudden public discussion of a heretofore private subject and many men wondering about their own conduct, present, past and future.

3 Black Church Groups to House AIDS Patients
Date: 13 October 1991

Three black church groups representing 150 congregations in Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan will provide housing for people with AIDS under New York City contracts in the first organized effort by black churches to deliver AIDS-related services, officials announced on Friday. The involvement of black churches in the fight against AIDS has been gradual and hampered by theological difficulties in addressing an epidemic that affects mostly homosexuals and intravenous drug users. But black ministers say more and more churches are being moved to action by the pervasiveness of AIDS in the black community. The three groups -- Southeast Queens Clergy for Community Empowerment, Harlem Churches for Community Improvement and the Association of Brooklyn Clergy for Community Development -- will each provide 20 apartments and support services like substance abuse counseling for homeless families and single people infected with the AIDS virus. The 22-month contracts, each for $847,000, were announced at a news conference by Mayor David N. Dinkins at City Hall. The 60 units, which are expected to be opened within six months, will join 430 already provided by other social service groups at sites scattered around the city. Blacks account for 35 percent of the 33,580 AIDS cases reported in New York City through June, even though they make up only 25 percent of the population. 'Devastated by This Disease' "AIDS is a medical problem that needs to be treated with compassion," said the Rev. Preston R. Washington, president of the Harlem group. "We have counseled so many families in our communities that have been devastated by this disease that we feel it's our responsibility to reach out and support these families."
