"Black power will appeal to
the masses in larger numbers,"
he said, "unless public officials
offer more action to help the
Negro. Job opportunities, better
education, housing and other
needs must offer equality of ac
cess as well as opportunity."
Nothing creative is being done
in race relations, Henderson
said, and this is causing frustra
tion among Negroes. Unemploy
ment among Negroes is at the
"disaster level," he said, and
something must be done.
Kappas have developed young
leadeis through the years, he
said, but cannot afford to rest on
their laurels. "We must rethink
our priorities," he said, "and
orient our dollars and commit
ments to race relations in this
country today."
Bradley warned that Kappas
cannot "let the civil rights
groups do it" while hiding "un
der the cloak of a social frater
nity."
"We train our young men to
lead," he said, "but if we ignore
the angry, ominous, potentially
destructive forces in our major
urban cities today, we may find
that they will reign as leaders,
but over the ash heaps that were
once our major cities."
Recalling Watts and other
riots, Bradley condemned vio
lence and "hate or separatism
as a rational means of solving
any problem."
"And yet," he added, "we
must understand the causes of
frustration, despair and bitter
ness which are the chemical ele
ments which cause the explo
sions in our ghettos."
Howard, also a Kappa, called
Black Power "the two most
powerful words in the English
language and also the most mis
understood."
"Economic insecurity among
Negroes is the root of restless
ness and uncertainty in the
ghetto," he said. "Nothing is be
ing done.
"The ghetto Negro has nothing
to lose in rioting. An affluent
society with status based on pos
session of goods can expect riot
ing when a substantial part of
the population is cut off from
the goods of this society. The
ghetto Negro is isolated. He feels
that he can burn, loot, smash
and bomb with impunity."
This attitude is dangerous, not
only to the Negro, Henderson
said, but to the nation as a
whole.
"Black Power is not a slogan,"
he said. "It is a movement dedi
cated to American democracy. It
calls on the Negro to think for
himself. It demands independent
thought and grass roots action
among Negroes. It seeks to bring
the Negro into the mainstream
of American life."
Help the Undergraduate
Gayles called on the Kappas
to "return to the original goal of
the fraternity ? to help the un
dergraduate members."
