image, its legal ramifica
tions and moral implica
tions. Participants then
exchanged experiences
from their communities
and broke into small
groups to develop action
strategies.
In the area of direct ac
tion,' the conference said
the cooperating Network
organizations would make
it a policy to confront the
Klan wherever it appears
with demonstrations,
boycotts, sit-ins, and
other forms of non-violent
direct action. Participants
pledged to respond to calls
for nationwide support in
particular trouble spots,
and the Network will work
toward a massive
demonstration either in
one selected area in the
South, Or through
simultaneous actions
across the country. In
political action, the Net
work will call a major con
gressional investigation of
Klan resurgence led by the
Congressional Black
Caucus; it is hoped that
hearings will be held
across the country, and
the Network will organize
victims of Klan activity as
witnesses.
Organizations par
ticipating in the Network
will also confront all local
and state governing bodies
to demand that they take
an official position against
the Klan; and will reach
out in every possible civic,
political, and church
organization and trade '
unions asking them to
take public actions against
the Klan. It will also ,
organize local and
regional conferences of
concerned people, and
focus attention on Klan
infiltration among prison
guards and ponce depart
A special approach VuT "urirespecfaBle'

across the country,
demanding that they get
the Klan out of the schools
on its history.- Packets of
material will be prepared
for classroom use, teacher
and parent organizations
will be approached, and
special efforts will be
made to involve young;
people, both white and
black, in anti-Klan activi
ty. On the legal front, the
Network is asking the,
Center for Constitutional
Rights in New York,
which had representatives
at the conference, to file a
massive lawsuit against
the Klan based on 1866
and 1867 anti-Klan laws.
The suit would be sup
ported by affidavits about
Klan terrorist activity
from across the country.
The conference also
discussed other legal
strategies, such as damage
suits by Klan victims and
defense of persons ar
rested for opposing the
Klan, and planned a
"brief bank" to assist
local lawyers handling
cases against Klan, a
booklet on legal techni
ques, and a tour by
knowledgeable lawyers.
The Network also called
on concerned people
everywhere to give a fur
ther thought and discus
sion to the question of so
called First Amendment
Rights for Klan members
in view of international
law against genocide and
racist propaganda.
Among the speakers at the
conference was James D.
McNamara, Columbus,
Ohio, attorney who has
handled many legal ac
tions aeainst the Klan.
He read from current
Klan literature which
openly calls for murder
and genocide and argued
that such speech is not
covered by the First
Amendment of the U.S.
Constitution. Mrs. Anne
Braden, co-chairman of

"Today, I'm saying the

of saying exactly what you
mean, ... .nuonoms dictionary. (How lucky, you

only way to do this and to
build an extensive vocabu
lary fast, is to go to the
getting what you want in
the world:
. English is the richest lan
guagewith the largest
vocabulary on earth r Over
1,000,000 words! ,
You can express shades of
meaning that aren't even
possible in other languages.
(For example, you can dif
ferentiate between "sky"
and "heaven." The French,
Italians and Spanish can
not.) Yet, the average adult has
a vocabulary of only 30,000
to 60,000 words. Imagine
what we're mining!
Here are five pointers that
help me learn and remem
berwhole ' families of
words at a time. '
: They may not look easy
and won't be at first. But if
you stick with them youll
find they work!
What's the first tiling to
do when you see a word
you don't know?
1. Try to guess the mean
ing of the word from the
way it's used. You can often
get at lent part of a word's ;
meaning-just from how it's
used in a sentence. -For
instance, say you run aerots
the word, "manacle": ,
v "The manacles had been
on John'a , wrist for 30
years. Only one person had
a key his wife."
' You can have a good idea
of what "manades" are
Just from the context of the
sentence,
, Let's find out exactly
what the word means and
where it cornea from. The
can Shakespeare couian t.
There wasn't an English
dictionary in his day!)
2. Look it up. Here's the
definition for "manacle" in
the American Heritage
Dictionary of the English
Language. '
v man-a-cle (man'a-kal) n.
Usually plural. 1 . A device
for confining the hands,
usually consisting of two
metal rings that are fas
tened about the wrists and
Joined by a metal chain: a
handcuff. 2. .Anything
that confines or restrains.
n.v. manacled, rcling,
clea. 1. To restrain -with
manacles. 2. To confine or
.restrain as if with mana
cles; shackle; fetter. (Mid
', die English manicle, from
Old French, from Latin
manicula, little hand, han
dle, diminutive of man us,
hand. See man- in Ap-pendix.)
Definition 1 fits here: A
sfH .ufl.t.. 1.1.
hands, usually consisting of -Tftad M
two metal rings that are
fastened about the wrists
and Joined by a metal chain;
a handcuff.
Well, that's probably what
you thought it meant, but
what's the idea behind the
word? What are its roots?
To really understand ; a
word, you need to know.
Here's where the detective
week-end the fun begins.
8. Dig the meaning out
by the roots. The root is the
basic part of the word its
heritage its origin. (Most of
our roots com from Latin
and Greek words at least
2,000 years old which
come from even earlier
Indo-European tongues!)
Learning the roots: 1)
Helps us remember words,
2) Gives us a deeper under
standing of the words we
already know, and 3)
Allows us to pick up whole
families of new words at a
time.
That's why learning the
root is the most impor
tant part of going to the
dictionary.
Notice the root of "man
acle" is the Latin word,
manut, meaning "hand."
Well, that makes sense.
Now, other words with this
root, man, start to make
sense, too.
Take manual something
done "by hand," (manual
labor), or a "hand bodk'
Manage to "handle" some
thing (as a manager). When
you emancipate someone,
you're taking him "from the
hands of" someone else.
When we manufacture
something, we "make it by
hand" (in its original
And when you finish your
first novel, your publisher
will see your originally
"handwritten" manuscript.
? Imagine ! A whole new
world of words opens up
Just from one simple root!
The root gives us the baaic
clue , to the meaning of a
word, but there's another
important clue that runs a
close second the prefix, :r.
4. Get the powerful pre
fixes under your belt. A
prefix is the part that's
sometimes attached to the
front of a wqrd. Like well,
pre-fix t There aren't many forever.
less than
fixes and
them in no time at all just
by becoming more aware of
the meanings of words you
already know.
Now, see how the prefix
(along with the context in
the table at left) helps you
get the meaning of the
italicized words:
"If you're going to be
my witness, your story must
corroborate my story."
(The literal meaning of
corroborate is "strength
together.")
"You told me one
thing now you tell me
another. Don't contradict
yourself." (The literal mean
ing of contradict is "say
against.")
"Oh, that snake's not
poisonous. It's a completely
innocuous little garden
snake." (The literal mean
ing of innocuous is "not
harmful.")
Now, you've got some
new words. What are you
going to do with them?
6. Put your new words to
work at once. Use them
several times the first day
you learn them. Say them
out loud! Write them in
sentences.
Should you "use" them
on friends? Careful-you
don't want them to think'
you're a stuffed shirt. (It
depends on the situation.
You should know when a
word sounds natural-and
when it sounds stuffy. )
How about your enemies?
YOu have my blessing. Ask
one of them if he's read that
article on pneumonoultra
microscopicsilicovolcano koneosis. (You really can
find it in the dictionary.)
Now, you're one up on him.
So what do you do to
improve your vocabulary?
Remember: 1) Try to
guess the meaning of the
word from the way it's
used. 2) Look it up. 3) Dig
the meaning out by the
roots. 4) Get the powerful
prefixes under your belt. 6)
Put your new words to
work at once.
That's all there is to it
you're off on your treasure
hunt. ......
Now, do you see why I
love words so much?
' Aristophanes said, "By
words, the mind la excited
and the spirit elated.'' It's as
true today as it waa when he
aaid it in Athens-2400
years ago!
I hope you're now like
