GOVERNMENT LISTS
JOB OPPORTUNITIES
On Januarj”^ 10-11, 1963 a Sec
retary’s Conference, which was
sponsored by the Department of
Labor, convened in Washington,
D. C. College Presidents and
Executives attended the affair.
The theme of the conference
was “the responsibility of col
leges and universities in the
preparation and motivation of
youth for the emerging oppor
tunities in government and in
dustry.”
Vice President, Lyndon B.
Johnson relaj^ed an address to
the group on January 10. He
elaborated on the fact that edu
cational opportunities are open
to Negroes in our contemporary
society which were closed to
Negroes in previous generations.
“The question facing the young
Negi'o today is not just the ques
tion of how much opportunity
there will be in America in the
future, but how much opportuni
ty will there be for him.” The
most tragic mistake that a young
Negro can make today is to de
cide that there is no basis for
faith in the opportunity which
the future will offer him.”
Secretary of Labor W. Willard
