MONEY NEWS
Working families can receive
over $2200 cash with tax credit
In 1993 working families with
children will be able to receive up to
$2,211 through the famed Income
( redit, a tax break for low and
moderate income families. Eligible
families must have an income of less
tluui $22,370 m 1992, have at least
one spouse or head of household
working at some time during 1992,
.and have a least one child living at
home during most of 1992.
liven families that do not owe
income taxes can receive die I iarned
Income Credit, but they must file an
income tax return. Many families
feel that because they do not owe
(axes, they do not need to file an
income tax return, but their money
goes unclaimed it they do not 1 lie..
Nationally, about one in five
eligible families does not collect the
I iarned Income Credit, costing them
hundredsof dollars, bailing to receive
the credit is more costly now than
ever before because the maximum
level of the credit has more than
doubled, to above $2,200.1 .ast year,
the maximum was $953.
Ihe I iarned Income Credit does not
affect a family eligibility for
programs like Aid to Families with
Dependent Children, food stamps,
and subsidized housing.
Families dial believe diey qualified
for the Famed Income Credit in any
of die p;tst three years but did not
receive the credit may still be able to
collect their money by filing an
amendment to their 1989, 1990, and
1991 returns, liven eligible families
that did not file a tax return for those
ye;irs can still do so without penalty,
provided they owed no income tax.
Families that had questions
regarding the F1C or need help filing
dieir tax returns can receive free
assistance at any one of the Volunteer
Income lax Assistance sites in the
San Antonio area. There is a VI TA
site at Flla Austin Community
Center.

CIVIL RIGHTS

Education:
A necessary key
to liberation
by Benjamin F. Chavis, Jr.
Miseducation and racial
discrimination are tools of
oppression. For more than two
centuries, people of color
communities in the United States
have always known the long lasting
value of acquiring an education as a
necessary key in the ongoing struggle
for liberation from the twin evils of
racism and economic exploitation.
African American leadership must
enter the current national debate
concerning the future of public
education. In particular, the rising
cost of college education makes it
increasingly difficult for students
from the African American and other
people of c'olor communities to have
access to higher education. In fact
the notion of “equal opportunity” in
education is a cruel myth for millions
of students from communities that
have been systematically
economically disempowered.
At every level of the educational
process in this society from pre-
school to elementary, from secondary
to college, graduate and post
graduate, more and more doors have
been closing in the face of students
who should have been given achance
of having a productive life through
involvement in the educational
process, but who are denied access
to education because of race and
socioeconomic class. ’
During the 1992 Presidential
Campaign, President Clinton made
a commitment to help young people
in the nation pay for their college
education by working off the costs in
a preposed national Community
service program. jjk
Now that Clinton is in the White
I louse, there are millions of persons
who are waiting for the campaign
promises to be fulfilled: There are
indeed very high expectations and
on the issue of government helping
to revive and redirect our nation’s
approach to educational opportunity,
there is a critical need to act with
some dispatch.
Disturbingly, recent rulings by the
court at the state and federal levels
have not been in favor of the
preservation of Historically Black
Colleges. The Clinton
Administration’s position on this
matter will have to be monitored
very closely. The U. S. Department
of J ustice under the guidance of the
previous Administration did not do
an effective job of ensuring equal
protection of civil rights laws,
especially in the area of education.
We understand the National Service
Plan for Education is still on the
drawing boards. According to a
statement in l ISA TODAY, Clinton
advisors are contemplating
replicating model projects like “City
Year” in Boston. This program
allows students to work of
community projects, receiving a
weekly salary of $100 and after a
designated period of time, the
students in the program will be
eligible to receive a $5000 voucher
toward college. Al From, President
Clinton’s domestic policy advisor
stated, “There is a larger concept
here of restoring civic ethic to the
country arid giving something back.”
One thing is certain and crvstal
clear “'Ihe Civil Rights Movement
must demand equal opportunity and
equal access to both education and
economic empowerment in the
context of moving the struggle for
freedom and justice forward.” In
other words, whatever policies and
programs are presented, the African
American and other people of color
communities cannot afford to wait
another 12 years or 12 months. We
want action, and we want it now.
Education is not a temporary
process; it is, rather, an ongoing
necessity for all persons of all age
categories and the denial of access to
education to anyone because of race
will ultimately be injurious to the
whole of society.
