CONGRESSMAN CHARLES C. DIGGS
FOUNDERS DAY SPEAKER
Congressman Charles C. Diggs
of Michigan addressing the
Founders Day Convocation at
Bennett College said that "race
baiters, hoodlums, demigods, an
archists and misguided so call
ed super-patriots crawl out from
underneath the rocks, disrupt
domestic tranquility and threat
en the very foundations of our
society."
Diggs, the dean of the Michi
gan delegation in the House ol
Representatives, spoke of the
necessity for silent America to
speak out. "The Community of
Silent Onlookers," black and
white, must end social discrim
1 '
ination. "The Constitution can
declare an idea, Congress can
' implement it with legislation and
the court can clarify its mean
ing, but it is only the people of
tfee nation that can breathe life
? into it" He suggested that a
holocaust of genocide and apar
theid would result unless the
force*" of reason prevail.
The Congressman added that
an end to racial discrimination
alone will not solve the race
problem in the United States.
The society must become fully
integrated. "'Black people can
not live in the general society"
on an 8 to 5 basis.
Diggs added that it us the re
sponse of the white community
to our demands which will de
termine the kinds ot leadership
which will emerge. He warned
that if the path of the status
quo is choseti "incendiary ex
tremists will foe encouraged."
Diggs urged the silent Ameri
cans to come to scrips with the
deep looted sjrievances of
Blacks.
He also commended the pres
ent generation of students in
this area for their activism. He
noted that Bennett College and
A&T State University are the
cradle for the long struggle for
Black humanitarianism.
Congressman "Diggs is a long
time crusader for the rights of
Negroes and poor people. He
was elected to tb? Michigan
Senate while in Law; School and
lour years, later became the first
Black to represent Michigan in
Congress. He spoke to the 1,000
people who came to honor the
founders of Bennett College on
