Michigan Congressman
Cites Gains Os Negro
Candidates In ’66 Eleetions
SEATTLE, Wash. - Con
gressman John Conyers, Jr.
(Dem-Mich.) applauded the e
lectlon of nearly 150 Nogru A
merlcans to political office in
the November 1966 elections.
“Negro candidates made ap
preciable gains in this year's
elections,” declared Conyers in
a speech prepared for delivery
tonight to the Seattle Area Com
mittee on Civil Rights at the
First AME Church. “Not only
were six Negro Congressmen
and one Senator elected, but 143
Negro Americans were elect
ed to legislative seats in 21
states, or nearly double the cur
rent figure. This year also
marked the election of the first
Negro sheriff in Alabama since
Reconstruction, the re-election
of a Negro state Treasurer in
Connecticut and the election of
six Negro mayors of cities in
California, Ohio, Texas and
Michigan.”
“Although this yearmarkeda
tremendous gain in the number
of offices held by Negro Ameri
cans,” said Conyers, “we still
have a long way to go before
Negro Americans wield a truly
significant amount of political
power, Population trends in
our major northern cities and
the Voting Rights Bill in the
South do herald a time when
American politics and govern
ment can be really representa
tive of the American electorate.
By 1970, we can expect to dou
ble the number of Negro Con
gressman and have mayors in
Newark, Baltimore, Cleveland,
and Detroit.”
Congressman Conyers de
livered a talk on the subject,
“Protest, Politics and Power”
to the Seattle group in which he
called for the cohesive organi
zation of Negro Americans to
ersburg.
Nuptial music was played by
Clarence E. Whiteman, or
ganist. Inez Matthews, mezzo
soprano, sang Song of Ruth
“ Entreat Me Not to Leave
Thee” (Gounod) and Harold
White, tenor, sang The Lord’s
Prayer (Malotte).
Mi. Whiteman played “En
tree du Cortete” from Marriage
Mass (Dubois), Bridal Fanfare
No. Two in B flat major (Bar
kus), Trumpet Voluntary in D,
Major (Purcell) and other works
by Bach, Vaughn-Wllliams,and
Handel.
Wedding guests were from
New York City, Washington,
Wilmington, Del., Baltimore,
Atlanta, Savannah, Fort Val
ley, and Albany, Ga.
Mrs. Daniel entertained more
than one hundred guests at a
prenuptial dinner at the Colo
nial Manor on wedding eve.
Mrs. Daniel was the widow
of Antonio Orsot, retired re
sident engineer at Virginia State
College and a former vice
president of Savannah State Col
ledge. She is the daughter of
Mrs. John O. Plummer and
■he late Dr. Plummer of Ra-
D-L h and Weldon.
Dr. Daniel, who has headed
Virginia state College since
1960, was the president of Shaw
University, Raleigh for fourteen
years.
After a brief honeymoon in
New York City, Dr. and Mrs.
Daniel will reside at the Pres
ident’s Residence at Virginia
State College and the Kay Es
tate in Weldon.
ward the goal of greater poli
tical power. “There are only
two kinds of power which are
meaningful in this country,”
said Conyers. Political pow
er and economic power are the
keys' to the future of the A
merlcan Negro. Without these,
no demonstrations nor any leg
islation can guarantee first
class citizenship to this coun
try's largest minority. If we
are to enter the mainstream
of American life, we must or
ganize, we must increase our
use of the political avenues to
recognition and we must vote.
And we must strive to broaden
our economic base by not only
consumihg, but by producing
and marketing products and
services which can compete on
the open market.”
“1 feel that the trend from
protest to politics to power is
quite clear,” concluded Con
yers. ‘‘We might term the
period from the fifties to the
mid-sixties as the time for pro
test and demonstrations through
which to gain the attention of
the American government and
public. Now we are beginning
to realize our political effec
tiveness. The decade of the
seventies will usher in an era
when Negroes will have their
full share of influence In A~
nierican Society.”
