And there were those, beyond

That something drastic would

And those same, baleful eyes

Sir: At the time of his death
n 1915 Robert N. Wood was the
leader of the Tammany Hall
United Colored Democracy, mem
ber of the NAACP, etc.
Because he was a firm believ
er in Negro rights he campaign-
ed courageously and untiringly
to convince Negores that they
did not owe a debt to the Re
publican Party and that the
Democratic Party in New Yoric
was a means of promoting the
welfare of the Negro.
His family has been
on thia crusade to
best interests of ear
Is why his daughter Is
so assiduously without
to ensure the wholesome growth
and development of the teachers
pupils and parents entrusted to
her.
And God flung out His mighty
hand
And swept the arching skies
So that no cloud, no shadow
could withstand
And from above, the golden sun

that everybody took a pledge and
went home.
I demonstrate and agitate for
racial equality for two reasons:
1) At the time of my birth,
by virtue of the color of my
shin, my society ruled that 1
was superior to the Negro. Re
gardless^ of the education, the
amount of money, the worth of
any particular Negro as a man,
I was ruled superior. I do not
permit myself the neurotic luxury
of my society-given “superiority
complex’* because it is damaging
to my own well-being; to my
own emotional health.
2) I feel that I must do some
thing AGAINST Inequality, or I
would be. by omission, doing
my part to perpetuate the pres
ent system. It could be said, in
religious terms, that I was born
with this sin and must do some
thing to cleanse my “self.**
The racists, the oil industry,
the trade unions, the Church, the
Jew, they do not demonstrate
and agitate in the streets. They
do not need to, for they have
the economic power, the polit
ical power, to get at least their
part of the pie, legally, morally,
ethically, or, possibly more ac
curately, “acceptably*. Tba Ne
groes rights must be demonstrat
ed and agitated for because he
does not have them; he does not
have the economic and political
power to TAKE them; to TAKE
what ia rightfully his in our dem
ocratic society.
For the Negro, and for all of
us who want to do something to
make the American Dream an
American Reality, Adam Clayton
Powell represents a most import
ant man in the very Inadequate
political power of the Negro in
America. He is chairman of a
committee. It took eighteen years
for him to have the seniority
to become chairman of his com
mittee.
1 sincerely hope that one day
soon the masses of black people
in America will come to the real
ization that the only road to com
plete freedom Is the road of self
determination. The only way to
have other people really respect
us is when we begin to build a
future for ourselves.
Let’s stop bugging these white
people for Jobs and start creat
ing our own employment. Lets
start building our own factories,
bus lines, super markets chains,
restaurant chains, hotels, con
struction companies, banks, air
lines, schools, etc. When we have
accomplished these things we as

will we be able to shout truthful

terms of “paying for the home

the fact they they must pay for

The rehabilitation plans propose
taking over properties of recal

complete agreement that slum

Jesus said. “I come not to

but to fulfill” Now then, if Jesus
acknowledged the law, and It is
definite that he did abide by
them, how can we feel that it is
no longer necessary for us to, the established press,
abide by them.
This is especially true since

to acknowledge and pursue sim

Important goals:
1. The long-range goal of total
equality, represented by complete
desegregation of housing, schools,
employment, public accommoda

2 - The very crucial short-term
goal of motivating our children,
whose preparation for life in the
Integrated society for which we

pends upon the education, train
ing and approach to living which
they are able to get now - where-
ever they are.
Most Negro children, this year
and for several years to come,
will be going to school with each
other. We do them a serious dis
service to hamper them with the
belief that they cannot learn un
less they sit in a classroom of
predominately white students.
The ability to take advantage
of opportunity depends la large
measure upon preparation. Our
children cannot afford to waste
time waiting for the “magic” of
Integration to open the golden
doors. For when those doors are
opened, only those persons who
have something to work with will
be able to go through. Those
who have sat on their hands and
their brains, permitting both to
grow soft and useless, will face
even greater frustrations and dis

encouragement to develop every

which they possess. NOW.
