(Continued from Page One)
your race down and failed miserably in the role
which our people justly expect you to play as an
important national leader of the Negro in this nation.
I refer to your vicious attacks upon the National
Association for the Advancement of Colored People,
your intemperate and ill-advised suggestion that the
Negro people boycott the NAACP because of the par
ticipations in its affairs of white people and your
rallying call to the Negro people to support Malcolm
X and the Black Muslims.
You know, Adam, that the NAACP, whatever
shortcomings it may have, has been and still is the
greatest organization working in behalf of all those
principles of freedom and human dignity for the
black man in America which was ever put together
in this nation.
- Dedicated Job
You also know that people like the Spingaims
and Kivie Kaplan have done a dedicated job and
organized more moral and financial support for this
cause than any ten Negroes, including yourself.
You know also, in spite of the fact that you and
I share deep respect for Minister Malcolm X as an
individual, that the way pointed by the Black
Muslims is not the true way to the solution of the
Negro problem. For you are aware—and you have
preached for many years—that the answer for the
Negro is to be found, not in segregation or in separa
tion, but by his insistence upon moving into his
rightful place—the same place as that of any other
American—within our society.
I can only conclude, Adam, that this latest tan
trum of yours stems from the fact that you are
infuriated because Roy Wilkins and the Board of the
NAACP did not rush to your defense in your recent
battle with your fellow Congressmen. You set up the
usual crybaby yell that you were being persecuted
because you are a black man when it was pretty
obvious that you had placed yourself in a vulnerable
position to be condemned by many people with many
different motives.
The Negro people are growing up, Adam, and I
do not believe they are sympathetic any longer to
the business of supporting anything anyone does—
wrong or right—simply because he belongs to the
race.
Whatever you may believe, Adam, I write this
letter more in sadness than in anger. I, like many
others, have been troubled by what has seemed to
be your growing insensitivity to the cause of our
people and your seemingly increasing disregard for
your responsibilties to the job you have been sent to
Washington to do. ~ s
x Like many others, I have hesitated to say this
because you have done a magnificent job in years
gone by and because I did not want to give ammuni
tion to those enemies of yours who have been the
enemies of the Negro people.
The people who were your enemies and ours—
the segregationists—are probably think, ng very
highly of you right now although they probably have
contempt even for an enemy who would desert his
own cause. At any rate, you have played right into
their hands. They want nothing better than to hurt
the NAACP and you have volunteered to give that
aim a tremendous boost.
.• Recently, on the campus of Howard University,
I received a tongue-lashing from a student who
demanded to know how I could balance my belief
fcnd personal principles with my consistent defense
of “a demagogue like AdamPowell.” I replied that
£ too felt you had been derelict in your duties on
thany occasions, but that I did not wish to help our
common enemies.
As I close this letter, Adam, I must confess with
a deep sense of sadness, that I no longer know who
your enemies really are.

ed.
Asserting that Negroes must
reexamine “our national organi
zations.” the Harlem Congress
man, showing some anger over
the failure of a single Negro
organization to come out in his
defense in recent months, charg
ed. “We must seriously consider
boycotting those organizations
and leaders who are not totally
controlled by us."
••Fight For It”
The Harlem Congressman also
used the 125th Street rally to
hit at Negro fraternities and
sororities. Elks, Masons, and
other social groups and doctors,
lawyers, and dentists for spend
ing so much money on social
affairs, urging them to come to
gether and use their funds to
help build Negro businesses and
organizations.
"We are getting too close to the
white man’s heaven, and when
we do this, they are not going
to give us anything else unless
we fight for it.” Powell added
He said that ‘‘The Negro is
only completely integrated in
those organizations that are his,’
and asked. “Why is it that rac
ism and nationalism are called
dirty words only when black
people use them?
In the speech, which he titled,
"One Thousand Tomorrows,”
Powell told the 2,500 listeners
that the dollar and the vote were
the most important things that
talk in America today, and cau
tioned Negroes, "When you face
that white man’s heaven, you’re
still a bLackmaa”,
Wilkins, the Urban League’s
Whitney Young, and other na
tiooal Negro leaden branded
Powell’s speech as •‘unfortun
ate,** voicing much of their crit
icism on the Associated Press
story which said Powell had
called for a boycott of the or
ganizations.

Terming Powell as the
NAACP’s “problem child,” Wilk
ins accused him of “turning his
back on the historic trend to
ward integration,” and said his
appeal for a boycott of the
S'AACP “will fall on deaf ears.'
"Negro Americans know full
well that the NAACP hw been
the principal factor in achieving
substantial progress In race re
lations in this country. Thia is
a problem which was created
and continues to be nurtured by
while people who have an obli
gation to work for a Just solu
(ion to this issue. They can do
this best in cooperation with
minority groups on a basis of
equality," Wilkins said.
Powell, in commenting on
criticisms Wednesday, asked,
The head of the Baptists, over
five million, is not even a mem
ber of the NAACP board. Why?”
He said he had never endorsed
Malcolm X, asserting that h e
said he differs with him, but he
respects his opinion, as he does
many persons.
Powell said that he gets his
reactions from "the man in the
streets,” and he was “pleased
with their comments.” He as
serted that the Baptists in Cali
fornia had invited him to ad
dress a mass rally in May on
the basis of reports of the
speech. "I Just want to make
Negroes think,” Powell said
Meanwhile the Carver Dem
ocratic Club, of which J. Ray
mond Jones, a longtime Powell
associate, is leader, passed a
resolution Monday supporting
the NAACP and urging its mem
bers to support the current
membership drive. Jones an
nounced that he was taking out
a $100 life membership for his
grandson to show his support
behind the organization.

woman rammed her fist down

her desk until she was almost
senseless,” Mrs. Bryant said.
