Fletcher called for an un precedented mass support of black private colleges through the pledging of $10,000,000 from the black community alone each year from now through 1975 and the enrolling of 2,000,000 young blacks in colleges by the end of the de cade. turned down hi* choice of Pierre Salinger for vice chair man and chose Paterson in stead.
