What's more, some former
lawyers of the NAACP, one now

organization's current financial
problems.
After the historic Brown case
was won, they allocated too
much of the NAACP's limited
resources to busing cases to place
black children with white
children in schools, not because it
resulted in a better education, but
because they think being near
whites will make blacks better
people.
They shunned efforts- to
educate black children, instead
seeking ways to shift the responsibility
to white society via legal
means. It failed. Whites ran from

As a result, the youth were
squeezed out of the learning process

black children who read at a level
below their grandparents. And

these same successes of
desegregation failed to provide
blacks with the wherewithal to
enjoy them.
As the NAACP confronts the
disaster of family disintegration,
it will discover that the rise in
fatherless homes has moved in
tandem with black male
unemployment. Family

caused by a lapse in values, is
largely an economic

When asked if the reinvestigation
will help determine whether
Hunt should have been arrested,
Masten said, "Absolutely."
"If we find that out, we will

anything additional we may

Masten said the disciplinary action

important to the community.
"Something had to be done,"
he said, "and steps had to be

In short, to succeed the
NAACP must become a self-help
organization and promote selfreliance.
It must encourage
blacks to spend their money with
black businesses and white
friends to create jobs necessary to
reduce female-headed homes and
build a community of families.
It must awaken race pride and
t- *ch blackness, its beauty, its
universal application; explain
that pro-blackness cannot be
anti-whiteness, and thank God
for blessing us with African
blood.
Ben Hooks must do what black
people' want and need, not what
the various political pockets and
self-interest groups in., his
organization desire. If Ke does,
he will silence his critics with an
effective program. If he does not,
they will destroy him and the
