NAACP Leader Speaks
At Shaw University
Raleigh, N. C. ? "In a multi
racial society, national achieve
ment can only be gained through
complete integration," Roy Wil
kins, Executive Director of the
National Association for the Ad
vancement of Colored People,
informed more than 1,500 per
sons in a Public Affairs Forum
address at Shaw University here
Monday.
Introduced by Shaw President
James E. Cheek, Wilkins contin
ued, "Negro youth are deter
mined to speed action of the
national will. This is the mission
of black people, especially our
youth."
Mr. Wilkins, a native of St.
Louis, Mo., who grew up in St.
Paul, Minn., was the third
speaker in the University's For
um series, held at 11:30 a. m. in
the Spaulding Gymnasium.
"The word 'integration* has
been distorted. Integration in
education was one goal. But our
goal of complete integration was
never limited to education. The
nine itudents who entered Little
Rock'i Central High School were
there for the purpose of getting
the best education available in
the city of Little Rock, not to
mix with white*."
Advocating open housing, he
declared, "I can't think of a
greater humiliation for the Ne
gro than to have to vote on it.
In California last year, citizens
voted to keep Negroes and Ori
entals out!
"Open housing keeps open job
opportunities, because the area
In which you live is very essen
tial where the distance to your
place of employment is con
cerned.
"In this great wave of the
future, some Negro applicants
for positions will be excluded
?Imply because they are denied
housing In certain neighbor
hoods. Transportation and ac
cessibility are the key factors in
some employment.
Blasts Senator Knrli
Citing the civil rights voting
record of North Carolina's senior
Senator Sam J. Ervln, Jr.,
(Dem.-N.C.): "He is no friend
Of yours and one of the best
things you can do when you be
come voting age is to remove
some of your state leaders.
Comments On Black Power
"The thoughtful backers of
"black power' have not been able
to get across their point, such
?s illustrated in the election vic
tories of Carl Stokes and Rich
ard Hatcher in Cleveland, Ohio
and Gary, Indiana.
"Last year, the black and
White population of Cleveland
combined forces to combat any
possible riot situation because It
would have defeated Stokes'
chances. This is real black pow
?r," asserted Mr. Wilkins. "Our
young people are developing
race pride, but It is my hope
that they dont develop race ar
rogance.
"We are the only black popu
lation living In the midst of an
overwhelming white majority in
the world."
On the matter of the Negro's
past role in the history of this
country, the former newspaper
man stated, "Negroes fought in
George Washington's Army. All
the things we now enjoy were
fought for by all people in the
nation, both black and white."
The audience was told in clos
ing, "You are Americans. This
is your country and you have all
the rights to help improve it as
the white boys and girls have."
Police Equipped With
Chemical Mace Here
Effective Wednesday, January
24, 1968, personnel of the
Greensboro Police Department
will be equipped with the Chem
ical Mace Mark IV. Training in
the us* of thia non-lethal, con
centrated form of tear gas began
on November 13, 1987 and was
completed on December 19, 1987. |
Uniformed officers have been ]
given lectures, practical demon-,
strwtiotis and each has been sub
ject to a skfn test to show the
effectiveness of the Chemical I
Mace. The mace was tested on
Greensboro Police officers be
fore being issued as standard
equipment.
General Orders have been is
sued to all Police personnel
covering the use, control and
operating procedure on the
Chemical Mace.
The Chemical Mace, Mark IV
fires a shotgun pattern of heavy
droplets of a specially prepared
formulation of highly refined
form of tear gas in conjunction
with a proprietory blend of
synergistic carriers. Ita range Is
12 to 15 feet and each cannister
will fire approximately 40 one
second bursts or a 60 second
sustained burst.
The effect on the Individuals
subjected to the Chemical Mace
is tearing of the eyes, and burn
ing of the skin and partial Im
mobilization of action of the in
dividual. This does not replace
other standard Police equip
ment, but only supplements it.
Officers will utilize the "Mace"
in eases to temporarily disable a
person and to reduce the need
of deadly force.
The Chemical Mace has been
in use over one (1) year In
other cities and has proven to
be an effective deterant when a
nerson about to be arrested
knows the officer to be equipped
with the "Mace".
