(AP) — The TJAACP has filed suit against the city councils of Bennettsville, Gaiffney, Klngstree, Saluda and Union, claiming they failed to overhaul voting systems which discriminated against blacks. "This was to send a message to other cities," said William Gib son, chairman of the NAACP's national board of directors and president of the South Carolina Conference of Branches of the civil rights organization. 'We figured If we filed five si multaneously, we could get more attention," he said Monday. Gibson, a Greenville dentist, said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People filed the suits Friday In federal district court. The Gaff ney and Union suits were filed In Greenville, the others In Co lumbia. The NAACP has vowed to elim inate at-large voting systems In favor of single-member districts In local governments, Gibson said. Gibson said 24 local govern ments — city, county and school districts — have gone to single member districts since the NAACP started pushing more than two years ago. But he said more than 200 local govern ments stjll have at-l4rge voting. The federal lawsuits were filed after the five city goveitiments "failed to call or siiccessfully pass a referendum changing their election system, to single member districts," Gibson said. "This IB step one in dike pro cess," Gibson said. "Step two Is to make certain that you adjust these people's attitudes, whether they be black or white, to what your concerns are and get the message over to them that mere ly because they are black they will not be sustained In those of fices unless they deliver the black agenda. Or if they are white and they are representing those districts, that they must be concerned and their voting records must reflect that. "So, step one is get them In place. Step two Is educate them," he said. "Step three Is to make sure. If they don't do what is right, you vote them out and get you some more. That's power." The cities of Klngstree, Saluda and Union held single-member district referendums that failed. According to NAACP officials, Gaffney and Bennettsville re jected the NAACP’s efforts t) have their respective systems changed voluntarlty. Since November 1988, the NAACP has filed lawsulto against the Charleston County School Board and County Coun cil and Lancaster Clly Council. Nelson B. Rivers, III, executlvjs secretary of the state NAACP, said the extinction of at-large— districts could double the num ber of blacks elected to public of fice In this state within four or five years. "By the end of the century, we plan to eliminate for all Intents and purposes all at-large discri minatory systems In this state," Rivers said. Not only can the NAACP change voting systems If it wins the lawsuits, but It also can make money, Gibson said. He said judges usually make cities pay file NAACP court costs after a case, and the NAACP attomej-s usually get less than the judge awards In fees. The NAACP geti the difference. "The national office Is commit ted to this project," Gibson said.
