Despite several abrupt
outbursts by members of
the Communist Workers
Party (CWP), the President
continued talking about his
plans to "renew his permanent
pledge for equal rights,
opportunity and dignity for
everyone in America"; he
continued, "300 years of
discrimination cannot be
undone. We will continue
to fight for the goals God
has set for us. We cannot
end segregation as long as
organizations like the Klu
Klux Klan and the Nazi
Party exists."
Followed by two more ini
terruptions from members
of the C.W.P., President
Carter ended his speech
promising to appoint more
blacks, women and
Hispanics if re-elected.

That evening the keynote
address was delivered by
John E. Jacob, executive
vice president of the National
Urban League.
Usually, the keynote address
is delivered by Vernon
E. Jordan Jr., National Urban
League president.
However, all conference activities
were filmed and
rushed to a nearby New
York hospital where Jordan
is recuperating from an
assassin's bullet. Jordan
sent a taped message to the
conference delegates expressing
his regret at being
unable to attend the sessions.
Donald F. McHenry, the
United States Ambassador
to the United Nations, gave
a lengthy speech at Monday

affairs. McHenry's speech
did not touch on any pressing
or controversial issues
such as the hostage situa

"The South has come a
long way since the days ol
slavery, Jim Crowism,
segregation and mob
violence," said Shinhoster.
~ "But we see all too frequently,
reminders of thai
ugly past: the Ku Klux
Klan, police brutality, injustice
in the courts,
discrimination in employment,
no affirmative action,
poor housing and
health care, inadequate
education and no representation
of blacks on boards,
commissions and other
public bodies."
"Voting is a right thai
must be exercised to be effective,"
said Shinhoster.

the Empire State

The conference ended on

dous impact on all the
delegates." The outstanding
aspects were the appearance
of all the presidential
candidates and the
workshops. "The appearance
of ' the
candidates," Kennedy said,
"gave all of us the opportunity
to assess all positions
and platforms. The
workshops and seminars
were relevant to black communities
and were conducted
by people who are
tops in their field."
With reference to the
candidates, Carmen Elijah
said "we all knew that the
candidates came to woo us
and we knew what they
would say in their speeches.
"The only negative
aspect," she said, "was the
outburst by the Communist
Workers Party."
George Hill said the
workshops were "very good
and meaningful. This was
the tirst time," he said,
"that blacks were interested
in their political destiny.
The candidates offered no
new rhetoric." Even though
all the candidates geared
their speech to black people,
with some using gospel
song lyrics in their theme,
Hill said that "Carter had
more to say on issues like

T. Willard Fair, who is

"pleased with the convention"
and felt it was an
"emotional turning point
for the agency" due to the

"has sought advise from
quality blacks."
Gary Henderson said he
is impressed by Senator
Kennedy's record and his
sensitivity toward blacks.
"History has shown that
the Kennedy family fias
been more aware of social
concerns," he said.
Henderson agreed that Kennedy's
speech was based on
emotionalism, but believes
that "black people are not
going to be fooled by that
this year and will choose the
best candidate."
