Inthe first place he talked much to Richmond out said nothing, not even the first constructive thought on the current situation vv?.s divulged to his hour-long lnooherreih harangue. It looks from here that Carmichael is out pri marily to get the headlines and the money, and he Is making a great success at both if whai happened in Richmond is taken as a measure. In an auditorium capacity o‘ 5,000, 1700 :u~ned out to hear what it is all about, and at one dollar a head I am sure his visit was financially an overwhelming success. But from the standiioint of ad vancing the cause of Negro rights and the cause of better race relations, the Carmi chael appearance was an “underwhelm’.ng” success only If success at all. In the Introduc tion ft was said hat there were “mixed feelings’’ on whai Negro power stood for, but if anything was said by the speaker of the occasion, to “unmix” these feelings, the writer knows not thereof.

Integra tion has not been attained, and what is more no worthwhile beginning has been made to ward its attain meat: There has been a bare beginning in desegregation; but desegregation and integrations are two different things. In tegration assumes that white and Negroes are in agreem nt on segregation and this is farthest from the truth. There is not the faintest sign that the white man will inte grate the Negro and without the wh.Fe man's willingness there can neve: he integration - jus* token d .egrogation only. Carmichael says it Is irrelevant. To tell an audience that integration, the counterpart of segregation the noose around the neck o’ the Negro race is irrelevant, is to prey upon the ignorance and gullibi lity of the audience. In fact Carmichael's whole address it could be called, was leveled nut a an intelligent audience but at a crowd ■ of dupes and dunces of a low LQ. It did 1 riot for a mom-if presuppose and intelli gent aurbunce and what is more, Carmichael got away with it in grand style. Again when asked it he were a communist he said again that question was “irrelevant” and whenever called upon to say something along with his much talk and harangue, he always fell irrelevance!
