NCC AUDIENCE
HEARS M cKIS SICK
DURHAM, N. C. ? Floyd B.
McKlsslck, developer of Soul
City In Warren County, mid
Friday at North Carolina Col
lege's annual Awards Day cere
monies that the people who op
pose Soul City are the ohea who
opposed him In North Carolina
when he was fighting "to achieve
what some people call Integra
tion."
McKlsslck said he though it
strange that the forces who op
posed integration now oppose
the concept of "a black city for
black people.
"I think there are people who
will oppose anything because
someone proposes it," McKlsslck
said.
McKlsslck described what ha
Hh? of racism
? the language the men usee to
divide and conqued." He said
the word "separatist" la an ex
ample of this language, used to
attack any movement which In
spires black pride. "The real
separatists are those white peo
ple who years ago moved to
the suburbs with the money
they got out of Harlem."
McKJsslck warned NCC's
academic award winners that
they "shouldn't think they are
any better than anyone else. The
white man la convinced that you
are just like the rest of us un
fortunate blacks.
"You are black whether you
got an award or not But if you
are black aad gifted, then It Is
your duty to contribute more
to your less fortunate brdthers
and sisters.
"An award doesn't mean that
you have it mad*. It merely
gives evidence that you have
acquired certain skills and It
doesn't mean that you know ex
actly what to do with those
skills after you get out of
school."
McKissick said education can
"separate black people from
black people," and warned the
students that education may be
mis-education.
He urged the students to seek
financial independence u ?
route to power. "Power cannot
be attained without bread," Mo
Kissick said.

NEW YORK ? Arthur J.
Goldberg, President of the
American Jewish Committee, to
day linked the first anniver

"with all other Americans, black
and white, Christian and Jew,

King's dream ? a land of full
and equal opportunity for black
Americans and white, in a na
tion united and at peace with
itself and its neighbors."
The full statement by Mr.
Goldberg follows:
"One year ago today, on April
4, 1968, the American people
learned with shock and disbe
lief of the brutal killing of the
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King
Jr. ? that giant spirit whose
ringing articulation of the dream
of equal justice for all men
galvanized the conscience of our
nation during the last decade.
"In the wake of that great
tragedy, which impoverished all
Americans regardless of color
or creed, many individuals and
groups vowed renewed dedica
ion to the cause that Dr. King
so ably led.
"That dedication must, and
shall, continue, despite the re
peoted crises that have rent so
many of our cities and divided
our people during he past 12
months. The American J wish
Committee, during this Pass
over week in which we cele
brate our own dedication to
human freedom, joins with all
other Americans, black and
white. Christian and Jew, In Its
ongoing support for the Amer
ica of Martin Luther King's
dream ? a land of full and equal
opportunity for black Americans
and white, in a nation united
