The prevailing thought throughout the conference was that students and parents should make themselves knowledgeable on the conduct of administra tors and treatment given minor ity pupils. It was repeatedly emphasized that "Title VI on Nondiscrimination On Federally Assisted Programs, Sec. 601”, reads as follows: "No person in the United States shall, on the ground of race, color, or national orgin, be denied the benefits of, or lie subjected to discrimination uider any pro gram or activit;. receiving Federal financial assistance.’’ This is a part of the Civil Rights Act of IOC-4 and 1960 mi 828-9317 For WetcX 4»f oil hear warn**, !t«» Kmtiiif Oil «n 4 Oii Iwriitr CAPITAL FUEL OSL ICE & COAL CO. <OO W.

Protestnats, Catholics and what-have-you joined in a mas sive service that began on time, but lasted well into the after noon. The most spectacular part of the meeting was the march to the collection table, to the beat of a teen-age choir, with strong voices and moving bodies. Their gesticulations motivated the cr&vvd and many of them shuf fled to the strains of the meet ing, in stop, to deposit money, most of it folding, on a table that Reynolds said had been de dicated for religious purposes.

"Because if vve continue to increase unemployment growth, we’re only creating social dynamite in the cities.” Dr. Newsom said education for both tulcks and whites is in real trouble. "The federal gov ernment must increase the number of dollars put in educa tions, ” he said.

S. co-op movement "is no cure-all and still needs careful nurturing, technical assistance, and fund ing but it does offer substantial hope that thousands of rural blacks, who culturally and eco nomically have been attachecfto the land for generations need not leave it for a dubious leap into urban society." At the suggestion of the A merican Trade Union Council for Histadrut (Israel’s labor federation) leaders of the black cooperative movement spent several montns ui Israeli kibbutzim where they learned about consumer co-ops, mat - keting procedures, irrigation techniques, greenhouse opera tions and rural economic plan ning and development as well as fish breeding and raising. Miss Levin asserted: “It is Israel’s basic policy to close the gap between the standard of living of its urban and rural population and to make rural life economically and socially desirable, practical and inter esting. "Israel has found that co operatives are the most prac tical answer to an undeveloped land and people, and much of its economy has been developed by cooperative techniques and in sttitutions, such as the kibbutz and the great network of worker-owned industries, farm cooperatives and social serv ices of the Histadrut.” Black cooperative leaders believe that Israel’s success'in attracting people to rural areas is due to the leasehold system of land tenure. Little land Is privately owned in Israel. Most is owned either by the state or the Jewish National Fund, which preceded the state as the land buying instrument of the Zion ist movement, and leased on a long-term basis--generally 49 or 00 years-- to individuals and rural settlements. Rent Is paid on the Jaasis of productivity. A prototype of rural planning was the Lachish Region Devel opment Plan, devised by Israel in 1055 to cope with a large i nflux of unskilled anil uneducat - ed Jews from the Middle East and North Africa, Miss Levin revealed. The plan called for groups ot four or five cooperative farm villages oi tx-tween 60 and 150 familes each, to surround a small rural center, which had a grammar school, health clin ic, mechanical workshops, and carpentry shops, a cultural center, a sorting and packing warehouse for the farmers’ produce, and a general store and market for produce, seed and fertilizer, all on a cooperative basis; The groups of villages, with their rural centers, in turn surround an urban center that provided a local government and more sophisticated serv- FAMILY IS (CONTINUED FROM FAQ* 1) spirit which existed in ancestral African communities. The Shaw University pro fessor said that when a member of the African community in herited or obtained cattle, such wealth benefitted the entire community, those well-off and those who were poor. There were no fences around land and all were brothers and sisters. This attitude carried over to Black life in America, he said. As Black families were broken by slavery, aunts, counsins and other family members would join ranks to preserve the unity of the family. An example he cited is the family wake, where the Black household, without the services of a professional un dertaker, would come together and prepare the body and serve the bereaved persons’ every need. Recently the National Urban League published a study on "The Strengths of Black Fam ilies,” which substantiates much of what Rev. Flemming said and carries us statiscally and chronologically up-to-date. The report made to the League conference in Detroit by Dr. Robert B. Hill made the following observations about ttie strengths of Black families: 1. Unlike the commonly hold belief that ‘matriarchy’ exists among blacks, our findings reveal that most Black fam ilies, whether low-income or not, are charactertstized by an "equal Harlan” pattern in which neither spouse dominates, but shares decision-making and the performance of expected tasks. 2. Most Black babies born out-of-wedlock are kept by par ents and relatives, while most white babies are given away. In 1960, about 00 per cent ofthe Black babies born out -of-ued-% lock compared to only 7 per cent of the white babies born out-of-wedlock were kept by the parent and kin in existing fam ilies. On the other hand, 67 per cent of the black babies, were formally adopted or placed. 3. National earnings data do not support the popular concept that wives’ earnings in most low-income Black families are often greater than the husbands. Recent Bureau of Labor statis tics indicate that In 85 per cent of the Black families with in comes under $3,000, the hus band’s earnings surpassed the wife’s. So contrary to the ster eotypes of Black men as being "weak”, irresponsible”, and "periphi ral”, the huslvuul is the main provider in the over whelming majority of Black families, whether low-income oi not. 4. The study found that most assertions about widesrpead desertion in Black families are not based on actual desertion rates. In fact, recent HEW data reveai tnai not even tne majority of AFDC families can be characterized as "de serted": Only one-fifth of the Black families receiving AFDC in 1969 were so described. 5. Contrary to the belief that dependency is characteristic of most families headed by women, recent Census Bureau data in dicate that two-thirds of the women heading Black families work -- most of them full-time. 6. Finally, the high a chievement orientation of low income Black families is re flected in the large numbers of college students from these families that attend college. For example, three-fourths of the Blacks enrolled in college in 1970 came from homes in which the heads of family had no college education. Thus the majority of Black college stu dents do not come from so called "middle-class" homes with college-educated parents. The report goes on to suggest that a report given by Patrick Moynihan in 1965 reporting "fe male dominance” in Black households was in error. The League study cites an equal itarian characteristic for the average two-parent Black family. It also refutes Moy nilian’s contention that the "Ne gro family in America is fall ing apart.” The facts show that "Negro families have shown an amazing ability to survive in the face of impossible conditions," says Andrew Billingsley in his book '"Black Families in White A merica.” "They have also show remarkable ability to take the barest shreds of opportunity and turn them into the social capital of stability and achieve ment," he said.
