"Black Power ia not anti white except when white peo ple are anti-black," the Con gressman explained. "We (Negroes) don't believe in vio lence, nor deo we believe it total non-violence," suggesting that "anybody that believes in total non-violence is a damn fool.' : Powell appeared at Tusk eg ee Institute under the auspices of an Interim Committee which planned a variety of activities for students remaining on cam pus for the interim between the first and second semester. Discussing "Esack Power" at length, Powell said: "Black power means black dignity... it means black is beautiful... black power means we want equality, Now!" Powell called for more and new Negro leadership, pointing out that there was "not a single Negro organization of any meaning" where Negroes were in control. He called on young white militants" to "come and follow us (Negroes). And why not," Powell asked. "We have earned the right." Powell, who was recently allowed to recalim his congres sional seat after being fined and stripped in his 22 years of seniority, called for a Ted Kennedy - Julian Bond ticket in 1972.
