Jamaica warmly receives Farrakhan's message
KINGSTON, Jamaica�The wailing of the woman on the local news program
was chilling. It was difficult to understand her words, but the message
was clear: there had been another murder and she was pleading for help. That cry, that plea, must be heard by government and Jamaica cannot
afford tribal politics, in which party is put above the good of the
nation, the leader of the Nation of Islam warned, speaking to
several thousand people here at the National Arena. His theme, "Out of Many, One Love, Part 2," was a follow-up to an
address made six-years-ago at the same venue. But this message was made
more timely by a spiraling murder rate, crime and drug trafficking,
joblessness, deadly political squabbles and violence.

NEW YORK (FinalCall.com)�A class action lawsuit filed on March
26 in a federal court in Brooklyn accuses three corporations of
profiting from slavery and asks the court to bring the case to a jury on
behalf of Blacks who claim slaves as "ancestors." The lawsuit, a first of its kind, names Deadria Farmer-Paellmann,
36, a New York legal researcher, as plaintiff. She says she has documented
the links between modern day corporations and slavery. The companies named
as defendants are insurer Aetna, Fleet-Boston Financial Corporation and
CSX Transportation.

 Whites
ponder future of Zimbabwe
HARARE, Zimbabwe (PANA)�President Mugabe accuses Whites, particularly commercial farmers who
control much of Zimbabwe�s arable land, of spurning his hand of
reconciliation extended to them at the end of the bitter war of
liberation in 1980, and of refusing to let go for national prosperity of
their dominant control of the economy. Although they only make up a mere one percent of the country�s
estimated 12.5 million population, Zimbabwean Whites control as much as
80 percent of the nation�s economy, mainly derived from land ownership.
