DELTAS DISCUSS
GREEN POWER
IN COMMUNITY
BALTIMORE, Md. Follow
ing a panel discussion on
"Green Power in the Black
Community, Delta Sigma Theta
President Frankie M. Freeman
moved from words to action
by presenting, on the spot,
funds for an initial deposit at
a Washington, D. C. black
bank.
Samuel F. Foggie, Vice Presi
dent and Cashier of the United
Community National Bank of
Washington, accepted the Delta
deposit.
The panel on "Green Power
in the Black Community" was
a part of the Delta week-long
convention. The panel included:
Kenneth 0. Wilson, president,
Baltimore Mutual Investment
Company; D. Parke Gibson,
president, D. Parke Gibson &
Associates and author of "The
S3O Billion Negro Market," and
Joe Black, vice-president, spe
cial markets, the Greyhound
Corporation.
Black said slogans about
"black power" or "green pow
er" don't mean, anything unless
black youths are motivated to
pursue goals in the larger busi
ness community, as blacks are
now doing in politics.
Wilson said, "the black man
must become business oriented
to the extent that he can com
pete favorably in the total
market and serve both black
and white consumers."
Gibson said black citizens
have the genius to do as well
in business as they have in
sports, entertainment, and poli
tics.
- In making the presentation,
Mrs. Freeman said. "By deposit
ing funds at a black bank, pel
ta Sigma Theta is providing
additional resources for the
United Community National
Bank to do more toward the
economic development of the

Appointee to
Supreme Court
Highly Opposed
NEW YORK - Within min
utes after President Richard M.
Nixon announced his nomina
tion of Judge Clement F.
Haynsworth for the ■ United
States Supreme Court, Aug.
18, NAACP Executive Director
Roy Wilkins dispatched a tele
gram to the Senate Judiciary
Committee requesting oppor
tunity for an Association re
presentative to appear before
the committee in opposition to
the nomination.
Immediately thereafter, the
NAACP leader told newsmen
at a conference in the Asso
ciation's National Office here
that "Judge Haynsworth's dis
senting opinions in some key
civil rights cases show clearly
that he is not for pressing
forward" to insure equality for
the nation's black population.
He announced that the Associa
tion was mounting a campaign
to block confirmation of
Nixon's nominee.
As early as July 19, Wilkins
launched the campaign to avert
the nomination of Judge
Haynsworth. In a telegram to
the President he warned that
elevation of the South Carolina
judge to the Supreme Court
"would spell disaster to the
entire racial equality program
now embodied in law" and
urged Nixon "most respect
fully but most emphatically
to abandon the nomination of
Judge Haynsworth."
In a later telegram to Presi
dent Nixon, Aug. 12, the
NAACP leader expressed "the
earnest hope that Judge Cle
ment Haynsworth will not be
named. On his record Negro
Americans and their friends
would not only resent but ac
tively oppose his elevation."

Open Letter to
Officials Cites
Six Problems
As representatives of ocfwi
zationa concerned about the
entire welfare of Durham
County School System, we ad
dress this open letter to the
Superintendent, all of members
of the Durham County School
Board as well ss to ail of the
Black Teachers request that a
meeting be had immediately
involving the above addresses
and the representatives of
these organization concerned
with the welfare of the Dur
ham County School System.
One purpoee of this meeting
would be to bring to the at
tention of the Superintendent,
all of the members of the Dur
j ham County School Board, as
well as h to all of the Black
teachers assigned to the Dur
ham County School System
the several problems which
presently exist in such system
as well as those problems
which presently exist in such
system as well as those prob
lems which are to be antici
pated-all as a consequence of
the mass influx of Black stud
ents into predominantly white
and/or only tokenly desegre
gated schools. Another pur
pose of the meeting would be
to conceive, develop, and then
implement plans or programs
of action that would in effect
alleviate, if not eliminate such
existing and/or anticipated
problems.
Some of the specific prob
lems-present and atticipated
can be best analyzed by asking
the following questions:
What are the expectation,
tf any, concerning the Iml of
