Rural Texas nightclub refuses to admit Blacks

MANSFIELD (AP) — A rural
nightclub that refuses to serve black
patrons because “it would cause
trouble” will be investigated by the
FBI for possible civil rights viola
tions, a federal prosecutor says.
“I ain’t gonna have no trouble,”
says “Mama” Hendrick, owner of the
Western Kountry Klub in Ellis
County about 15 miles southeast of
Fort Worth.
Hendrick, 68, of Venus, said the
nightclub she runs in a converted
roller skating rink is a private club,
although she ran out of membership
cards “a long time ago.” There are
no black members, she says, because
“I don’t really have room for them.”
She refuses service to blacks be
cause “it would cause trouble,
really.)’
Lisa Pollard, a young African-
American woman from Grand Prai
rie, said Hendrick turned her away
from the club Sept. 1 when she tried
to attend a birthday party with three
white friends.
Pollard said Hendrick told her she
could not come in because she was
black.
‘Tve never been denied anywhere
because of my color,” said Pollard,
29, who works in Fort Worth. “I
thought it was a joke at first. This is
like something that would have hap
pened to my grandmother maybe,
hut not in 1990. It was very hurtf

Gang violence
Shootings prompt
concern at school
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Parents,
community activists and some law
officers say the shooting of three stu
dents at Sam Houston High School
proves this city has a gang problem
that is getting out of control.
“We’ve got a gang problem
and...nobody wants to admit it,” said
Lt. William Maldonado of the San
Antonio School District police force.
“It’s spilling over into the streets. It’s
spilling over into our schools.”
Three teen-agers were wounded
Tuesday by a .380-caliber semiauto
matic pistol when gunfire broke out
at the east side high school, a place
students and parents say is overrun
with gangs and drugs.
Police arrested three other stu
dents, including a varsity football
player, and charged them with ag
gravated assault with a deadly
weapon. Authorities said the vio
lence stemmed from gang feuding.
East side community activist T.C.
Calvert said he and other residents
have warned city leaders about the
gangs. “The violence has got to
stop,” he said.
Parents of Sam Houston students
expressed similar feelings as they
gathered at the school after the
shootings.
“I want my son out of here —what
is this world coming to?” one woman
shouted.
Todd Hollingsworth, whose
nephew is a Sam Houston student,
said: “You don’t send your kids to
school for this. The best thing they
can do is close the school down until
they find a solution to it.”
And Rachel Clark said her son
was afraid to go to the Sam Houston
football game Friday night because
he heard there was going to be gang
violence.
“He said that they (the gangs)
were going to finish it at the game,”
she said.
Charles Shannon, executive direc
tor of the Alamo YMCA on the east
side, said police should have taken
action last week when three weapons
were found in a locker at the school.
“You can’t be but disappointed
when you see this type of activity in
the community,” Shannon said.
“The Police Department needs to
work with the community more to
help it get away from the gang prob
lem.”
San Antonio police, through a
special task force, have been docu
menting gang activity throughout
the city. More than 45 gangs have
been identified by name.
“It is not out of control, yet,” said
Maldonado, the lieutenant with the
school district police force. “But it
will be soon if we don’t do something
about it.”
The Northside School District re
cently hired Charles Rodriguez, the
city’s former police chief, to help ed
ucators and parents identify youth
gangs or gang behavior.
