whites, know that they don’t have

To give black people rights
here in God forsaken America,

the whites. They are guilty and I

mistaken the Holy Scripture
nays it la better to marry than
to burn two people being mar

together let no man put asunder.

always slipped around with col

woman was caught with a col

ready to lynch him because he
wanted to eat his cake and have
it too. Although the white woman
wanted the colored man she was
afraid of the white man.

Isn’t it better for the baby to

Sir:
And onward they march, and
pray, and cry, and beg — and
for what! The more they march,
the more they are slaughtered, ir
respective of sex or age. Yet, they
continue marching, marching
straight to their deaths without a
single act of self - defense.
They marched to the Prejuk'nt
and they prayed to him, and they
prayed to the congressmen, all to
no avail. That great big beautiful
Sunday school-type picnic which
took place in Washington on Wed
nesday. August 28. 1963 was just
that! The Civil Rights bill is still
being ignored by Congress, and
will undoubtedly be so for some
time to come. Yet, they continue
marching, and praying, and beg
ging, and dying . . . dying with
out self-defense.
The most bitter pill to ask a
man to swallow is his pride. And
when he swallows his pride, mar
ches before his oppressor, peace
fully, and begs, cries and prays
to him for his God-given rights,
only to have the oppressor laugh
in his face, scorn him, insult him,
and cold - bloodedly murder him
because he is Mack, this proves
to be a pill which gets stuck in
the throat and must be cdughed
up if life is to continue. A man
coughs it up! A man regains his
pride and dignity! A man retal
iates in self - defense — not more
prayer.
But, I ask you what is this crea
ture who does not retaliate, but
who simply offers his life to the
barbarian for whatever use he
deems most- pleasurable, be it
scorn, ridicule or death? Who,
and what is this creature who,
without a single act of self-de
fense or retaliation, allows his
innocent children to march to
their deaths, and whose only reac
tion is a complacent shrug of the
shoulders? I ask you, please tell
me, who is this creature who, in
the face of such savagery, con
tinues day after day, month after
month, and yes, year after year,
to march before the oppressor
and accept his scorn, his ridicule
and even death — without SELF-
DEFENSE, or even BITTER
NESS!!! I ask you, is he human?
Is he alive?
This must be a dead being. He
has to be dead to complacently
accept such atrocities without re
taliation. He cannot be alive. Be
cause people who are alive have
love of life, have pride, still have
that human instinct of protective
ness of self and family. They are
humanly ANGRY when acts of
savagery are exacted against
them.
The person who accepts death
as though it were a gift has been
misled into a grave of passive
resistance, with a tombstone of
non-violence. He can hope for
nothing but pity as long as he re
mains in such n atate. His so-call
ed friends pity and secretly scorn
him, wishing he would resurrect
himself as a fearless black man
and strike back so that their pity
and scorn may be replaced with
respect.
So, why not become men and
break open this grave of passive
resistance, overturn this tomb
stone of non - violence and rise as
new fearless blacks, instilling fear
in the souls of those who would
dare take away your lives. This
new fearlessness will cause every
would - be bomber and murderer,
and lyncher to think twice before
committing violent acts of savag
ery, needlessly and mercilessly
against you. Yes, this new digni
ty and fearlessness will begin to
disintegrate that false white su
periority of those who would op
press and keep our God-given
rights locked away in their treas
ure chest of sadistic pleasures at
the expense of blacks
You want me to work hard and
pay my tax,
Yet I cannot go to the same park
to relax.
You want me to wash your
dishes and scrub your floors.
Yet when I enter your house I
must use the back door.
You say, “Tend my children!
Make them shine!”
Yet when I am done, they are
forbidden to play with mine
You want me to pay the same
fare as do#n the road I track,
Yet my seat must always be
way, way back.
Yop tell my sob he cannot live
next to you.
Yet when you are at war, he Is
asked to die too.
You made me love your God
and become a Christian,
Yet I cannot sit next to you to
practice my religion.
You say, “Treat your neighbors
as you would yourself,”
Ha!! If I had my choice, my
neighbors would be someone
else!!!

Death is so difficult and easy

This fearlessness will not be
shown by ridiculing ourselves a
second time by marching and
praying without any protection
Marching to see Wallace of Ala
bama with a black wreath will
ot accomplish anything, but
more pity. We have enough of this
already. We have the sympathy
of the world. We need no more do-
nothing sympathy.
Someting more is needed
Marching to the State Capital of
Alabama to see George Wallace,
a psycho, will accomplish about
as much as It would if President
Kennedy tried to restore United
States relations with Cuba by
staging a protest march to that
Island to beg Castro to give up
his alliance with Russia.
To gain back our dignity and
image as a fearless people which
we had on the Continent of Afri
ca, to walk again not as dead
men, but as men who are alive
IT IS NECESSARY TO DEFEND
OURSELVES WHEN ATTACK
ED. IT IS NECESSARY TO RE
TALIATF. WHEN OUR POSSES
SIONS ARE ATTACKED AND
DESTROYED. The altuation
should be the Judge of when and
by what means retaliation should
occur.
It seems to me that it Is time
for the close of the chapter on
passive resistance and non - vio
lence In this era of our revolution
That chapter has taught us noth
ing but how to live without pride,
dignity, and exist as dead men
It Is time to consider allowing
this new chapter to unfold before
us — the most Invaluable chapter
of them all dealing with SELF
DEFENSE AND RETALIATION
If death must come — SO BE
IT, BUT DIE IN DEFENSE OF
OUR LIVES, WE MUST.

In addition, the Committee rec

During the year in which the
report was being prepared, the

meetings in Camden and Trenton,
attended hearings of the parent

Interviewing in order to gather
current Information on its three
fields of Interest.
Inadequate Housing
The Committee reports that
housing available to nonwhites in
New Jersey Is generally inade

conditions are due to economic
factors, historical circumstances,
and substantial vestiges of ra

Short Range Solution
Such "benign quotas” are en
dorsed as a short range solution
to the "tipping point” problem,
which arises when Negro pre
ponderance in a newly desegre
gated neighborhood becomes so
heavy that the remaining whites
move out, thus resegregating the
area. As a longer range solu
tion, the Committee concludes
that education and Increased In
terracial communication hold the
key to successful housing inte
gration.
In employment as well as hous
ing the existing statutory pro-
hibltives against discrimination
have been ineffective. Although
New Jersey law requires a non
discrimination clause In all con
tracts involving public construc

Bernard Raskin, an official of
the NMU, told The Amsterdam

Neurohr went deeper into pos

nonwhites by United States Lines
in the area of upgrading and
employment in higher positions

UAW OHicial Says
Africans took To Us
Industrial development in the
new African nations is 188 years
behind that of the United States'.
Nelson J. Edwards, Negro of
ficial of the United Auto Workers
union, who returned to this
country from a visit to Europe,
said Africans are looking to Am
erican Negroes for help in nar
rowing the gap of two centuries.
Edwards said an African labor
official created this role for the
American Negro when he said:
“We arc at about the sta
of industrial development y
were at the time of your W
for Independece.
Send Machinery
“The American Negro can
many things to help emergi
African nations, one of the m<
simple would be for an enlig
ened Negro organization or lat
union to buy some of the usi
cast-off machinery and send
to these new nations, along w
people to instruct them how
use it.”
Edwards, a member-at-large
the UAW's international exe<
tive board, said the African
bor officials who made the si
gestion added that the cost
purchasing dated machim
would be cheap and would hi
fill a great need.
This kind of aid, Edwards si
he was told, would do mu
i to change what the African si
his kinsmen regard as the p<
image of the American Negri
held by Africans.
