McCoy, "must use three criteriafor determining his role in theacademic community. He must

possess a knowledge of theministry of Jesus and its impli-cations for meeting humanneed. He must also know thehistory of black religious ex-

Just as important, addedMcCoy, is the fact that blackchaplains must be able to "in-terpret the signs of the timesas he contributes to the libera-tion of black folk."

The Tenant Steering Comm-ittee is an officially recognized

boyd of the Durham Housing

Authority. It is because the

Durham Housing Authorityhas a direct effect on our

lives, that we feel it necessary

to state our position at thistime in relationship to theaction taken by the comm-

issioners of the Durham Hou-sing Authority.

The Tenant Steering Com-mittee views the recent policychange made by the Housingcommissioners as a milestonein the history of Durham Pub-lic housing. We thereforestrongly support and endorse

the action taken by the Com-missioners. Despite the factthat the resigning staff con-

tends that the action takenby the Commissioners was dis-

criminatory, it should be noted

that the policy action was

voted unanimously by bothblack and white commissionersIt has been long overdue for

the decision-making body tomake policy changes in the

interest of the tenant and torespond to problems that aresensitive to us.

As a Tenant Committee,wewant to make it clear that for

many years, we have foughtthe injustices and intimadatingpractices used by the manage-ment of the Durham HousingAuthority.

For years, tenants have beenvictimized by underhanded tac-tics continually used by theadministration. We can nowand have in the past pinpointedinstance after instance wheremanagement has exercised poorand improper judgement and
