ORAL PRESENTATIONS
122017 - Deb Berry spoke about the "Uniting the Tribes" Peace Rally on Saturday, July 23,
2005 at Sullivan Park. The Peace Rally is an effort to address the violence
which has been going on in the Fourth Ward. Ms. Berry commended Mayor Hurley
for allotting moneys for youth programming, and she feels it will make a
difference in the lives of many youth. Ms. Berry introduced Ms. Belinda
Creighton -Smith, Minister Michael Mohammad, and Sharon Goodsen.
Michael Mohammad stated he believes our community is in a state of crisis,
especially in the Fourth Ward, when young Black men, young women and children
are shooting at each just about every weekend, and it is not getting any better.
Their objective is they don't want to be in a position to rely on policing
alone, not that they don't appreciate the efforts of the Police Department,
because it is necessary in any community to police the community. Mr. Mohammad
stated they have taken the initiative to address the issues themselves. Mr.
Mohammad stated in his view our community's issues, especially in the Black
community, are such that those in the Black community, those with leadership,
religious organizations, political positions have the responsibility of
addressing these issues head on. Mr. Mohammad stated in today's society as we
look all over the country, California and New York, issues we see in Waterloo
are taking place throughout the country. Mr. Mohammad stated that one thing he
can see is that policing is not providing a solution to the problem, and that
many of their young people are filling the penitentiaries. Mr. Mohammad stated
you can see a set of circumstances where we are moving toward a policing type of
state. Mr. Mohammad stated they want to address the issues, and this is one of
many attempts they will make in the community to address the issues that our
community is suffering. Mr. Mohammad stated they know the young people, some
are their children, some are relatives, some are members of the churches or ex -
members of the churches, or whatever walk of life, and they have a
responsibility to go after them. Mr. Mohammad stated they are not so much
asking for the support of the city government, but they have to make a demand
they get support in whatever way the city can support them in their efforts and
attempts to do something positive in their community to address the issues of
violence and corruption in their community. Mr. Mohammad stated that in October
this year, they will have the Millions More Movement, which is the celebration
of the 10th anniversary of the Million Man March that took place in Washington,
DC in 1995, and it was a very successful event in terms of being able to unite
different facets of their communities. Mr. Mohammad stated what they are trying
to do is unite on the local level with all who are truly sympathetic to their
condition to address and provide real solutions and not just locking young
people up, and not just policing but providing some solutions in the community.
Mr. Mohammad stated it is a very broad attempt, and they have a lot of things
they will be doing in the community, not to condemn the young people and not to
criticize them for the poor choices they made, but to find an equitable
solutions that will help them make better choices and decisions in the future
and alleviate much of the crime in the community as a whole. Mr. Mohammad
stated what is taking place in the Fourth Ward reflects the whole of Waterloo.
Mr. Mohammad stated you can hardly leave this city and visit other parts of Iowa
and mention Waterloo without seeing someone's face drop when you mention
Waterloo, and it is really a shame for all of us and it is our responsibility to
change that reality. Mr. Mohammad stated they look forward to working with the
city government in the future and to work with the Police Department in a way
that is especially sympathetic to their young people and the community as a
whole.
Belinda Creighton -Smith talked about a movie in which a Black man and White man
where shackled together and they escaped from their cell. As they were making
their journey to freedom, they fell into a hole. One of the fellows was working
desperately to get out of the hole, but he kept falling back into the hole
because he did not realize that the two of them needed to work together to come
up out of the hole. Once he realized that and they worked together to come out
of the hole, they were successful in making their way to freedom. Ms.
Creighton -Smith stated as a community we are inter -connected and inter -related,
and there is no way we can think only of ourselves, and that we are all inter-
connected and inter -related and what impacts one of us ultimately impacts the
whole of us because just like a ripple the things that impact one area of our
community will spread out and impact all and it should be that way because that
is the way were created.
