EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR NAACf
In Out short visit with the
President, NAACP officers
and board members stressed
the dire need of employment
and economic development in
the devastated inner cities of
our nation.
The NAACP has long been
an advocate of the philo
sophy that the right to a job,
the right to earn a living for
one's family, and the right to
escape the dehumanizing wel
fare rolls should be a funda
mental human and civil right
that out to be protected by
law. . -j M:.
You cannot: talk about
welfare without talking about
jobs. Indeed, there is little
you can discuss in meaningful
terms in the ravaged com
munities of black folk with
out talking about employ
ment. For on this turns how
or if one marries, Mayipf
gether to, jaise jchadrenedu--cate
' them, furnishes decent,
warm, sanitary housing for
them and . indeed, , feeds,
clothes and furnished ade
quate medical care for thenr.
' A national commitment to
full employment and the
training of blacks and other
minorities will help break the '
vicious cycle of welfare de
pendency and raise the stan
dard of living of the poor and
minorities in rural and urban
communities. ,.
We told the President we
felt his administration's pro
posed income maintenance'
program was encouraging.
However, we telt it must
assure that work incentives
are not punitive but serve
as a vehicle' for providing
meaningful jobs for able
bodied citizens.
The proposed plan to in
clude subsidies for housing
in income maintenance must
. be vigorously opposed it the
national objectives for
housing are to be preserved 5
and expanded.
Federal housing aid under
the proposed administration
program could not be target
ed to eliminate slum housing,
halt the deterioration of
older neighborhoods, of ex
pand opportunities for free
dom of choice of location in
which one desire to reside.
Any national welfare
policy adopted must provide
a program that allows the
poor adequate income for an
acceptable quality of life and
a housing program geared to- '
ward providing a decent, safe
and sanitary place to live in a
: suitable environment,
We. urged the President to
throw his support behind the
ttumphrey-Hawkins full em
ployment bill now pending in
the Congress.
But even greatly increased
employment in ,the black
munity, as welcome as that
will, fee, will not be the corny, ;
plete Answer,. For there is a- ;
nother nagging part of this ;
puzzle tfiat refuses to fl
snugly in. And that is wide-g
spieaiidifhfli&iV
, the- black ixommunity ' and
thus thev disparity of income !
between 'I black and Ovvlute
families of Comparable corn,
position and skiBs." v
The U.S. Department of
Commerce, Bureau of the
Census, issued a gloomy re
port in this context bn.Octo- Q
ber 4, 1977. While lauding
the fact that "1976 - real ;
median family income i(is)
up three per cent - the first
real annual gain for American
families since 1976; and that
the povery population drops
an estimated 900,000," the;
report almost as an after-'
thought, went on: ,
"White v families had ' in
come pf $1540 in 1976
which represented a three per
cent constant dollar increase
over 1975 following a three
per cent constant dollar de-'
crease from 1975 to 1976. In
contrast, the 1976 median in
come of black families
($940) showed .no statisti
cal change in real terms either
from the previous year or
from 1974." .; V
Why is it that' white medi
an family income should be '
more than $6,000 yea(ly than
that of the black Inedian
family? Why is the gap be
tween white and black in
come widening instead of
closing?
And what can we of the
NAACP working with the
administration and. others do
about it? Therein lies our ,
greatest challenge. For in
that income gap one can dis
cern all the horrors of depri
vation, horrorific unemploy
ment; widespread : underem
ployment, huge numbers of
blacks clustered in the non-

After; the guilty verdicts
were handed down, Berman
zohn declared that he would
appeal - the decision to ' the
Nash County Superior Court.
James paid off his fine. Both
James and Bermanzohn said
after the trial, "the way the
courts treated us and the way
that, they t treated Joe Judge
sh ows - that a rich' man can

ing jobs; seasonal employ1-'1'
ment and consequently, fre
quent periods of unemploy
ment. .
get away with tmurder while
a poor man can't eve n pro-
test that murder." Upon
leaving the courthouse, Ber
manzohn and James and
members of the People's
Coalition for Just ire re
joined the pickets outside ,
chanting.
The PCJ stated that it
would "continue to fight
for, justice and that the at
tempts by- the courts to
crush our organization will
not succeed. Our . struggle
continues' stronger : day .by
day;" .
the-controversial Bakke case.
Yet,; the most unfortunate .
aspect-of the court's ruling
is its - heavy reliance on .an
unresolved case (Bakke) cur
' rently pending before the U.
S. Supreme Court. Thus, the
granting ' of a permanen t,,
, sweeping' injunction - in ; this
. case is patently premature"
4ln . addition to . .'urging
action from the U.S. Attor
ney General's office , the NBL
President strongly, hinted at
the need for the minority .
business and economic com
munities to mobilize their,
forces to challenge what he
called "this unfortunate and
premature ruling". ' t
If that sounds good; consider
' th5 50-year-old man today. He's
expected to survive another 24.1
.. years, or until age 74. b And
