Nation of Islam May Intervene at L.A. School Site of Racial Violence
Jefferson High scene of black/brown racial violence

SOUTH LOS ANGELES - During a forum this week on racially motivated
violence at Jefferson High School, the president of the school's
Black Student Union said that she, like a number of other
African-American students, was considering leaving the school for good
out of fear of being "jumped."
Meanwhile, Minister Tony Muhammad of the Nation of Islam pledged
protection to students who feel threatened by what is described as a
growing, palpable tension between blacks and Latinos on the campus.
Those were just two of the latest developments as parents, students,
educators and the community at large continues to grapple with a series
of incidents that have received wide attention and drew more than 100
attendees to a Tuesday night forum at Bethel AME Church.
Because of several recent altercations at Jefferson High School,
officials have seen attendance drop by more than 50 percent on some
days. For example, following an April 14 brawl 1,346 students were
absent. After another scrape on April 18, nearly 1,100 missed school
the next day.
"What I want to know is what are we, as African Americans going to do
about it?" asked Mary Washington, the BSU president. "We are dying
at Jefferson High School. Six percent there are [black] and 94.6
percent are Latinos. [School officials] threatened to take away my
scholarship if I don't sit down and shut up. And I won't."
Fifteen-year-old Stephanie Alonzo, who saw a friend knocked down and
kicked several times during one of the brawls, believes that blacks and
Latino should be separated when they aren't in class. "The police
let us fight," said another teenager at the forum who declined to
give her name. "I'm telling you the truth. What you hear on the
news is a lie. They let us fight."
While forum organizers said both candidates for L.A. mayor were invited
to participate in the forum, Mayor Jim Hahn was not in attendance.
Aides later insisted he had not received an invitation.
However, the challenger in next month's election, Councilman Antonio
Villaraigosa, did show up. He said the city needs to form a
black-Latino task force to address growing tension between
African-American and Latino youth.
"We need to model for these young people black and brown unity," he
said. "They need to see two brothers working together ... and we need
to demand that the school district protect our kids and have enough
security personnel to do that. We don't address conflict with a fight
and make it worse. You talk it through. You try to figure out what's
going on and find a solution to it."
For their part, school administrators have began enforcing a new campus
ban on heavy belt buckles and white T-shirts - both of which can be
used to signal gang affiliation, with the buckles also viewed as
potential weapons. Teachers are continuing to conduct "days of
dialogue" with their students.
Although security in and around Jefferson High has been beefed up in
recent weeks, many parents and students insist it isn't enough. Until
the school district employs or utilizes more security, Muhammad - who
organized the forum along with Bethel senior pastor Lewis E. Logan -
told Washington and other black students that his organization would
provide them with escorts to and from Jefferson High.
"We'll be there [on Wednesday] and you'll be under the Nation of
Islam escort," Muhammad said. "We're going to walk with you and
anybody else, you won't have to worry. You give us a day and a time
and we'll be there."
