Most of us have flipped open a cell
phone to make an urgent call, or rushed to an ATM to get emergency
funds. And most of us do not know, or even care, how this technology
works; we simply know that it is there, available for our convenience.
As vice president for development at IBM Systems and technology
group, Rodney C. Adkins's job is to know what we do not, regardless
of how fast-paced the advances are.

News that WLIB-AM, the flagship radio
station of the Inner City Broadcasting Corp., was being sold left
some Black New Yorkers numb and bewildered. Others quickly rallied
to protest the action. If Percy E. Sutton, chairman emeritus of
ICBC, was unable to stop a gaggle of activists from gathering to
block what they perceived as a takeover of a cherished institution,
he did allay the fears of the vast majority, who patiently waited
to hear his explanation of the situation.

This year marks the 50th anniversary
of Brown vs. Board of Education, the landmark school desegregation
case which a team of some of the nation's best attorneys, led by
Thurgood Marshall, won in the U.S. Supreme Court in 1954. Marshall,
founder of the NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund Inc. (LDF),
later became the first African-American U.S. Supreme Court Justice.
Brown ended officially enforced public school segregation and overturned
the "seperate but equal" doctrine.
