For Cause
NEW YORK— Strong support
for the development of causes
of black churchmen has been ex
pressed by the United Presby
terian Council on Church and
Race.
The formation of all-black
chureh groups is “One of the
most hopeful signs to emerge
in the midst of the chaos of
the present,” the Council said
in a statement adopted at a
meeting here. “This move
ment,” it added, “holds great
promise for the development of
...a genuine and creative black
theloarv.”
The Caucuses--both In speci
fic metropolitan areas and at
the national level through the
National Committee of Negro
Churchmen --aiso are indi
cative of “new patterns of the
church at work in the midst of
the ghettos of America,” the
Council said. “The Council on
Church and Race can only re
joice, ” it addad, “at the cre
ativity and significance already
achieved in this development.”
It called on the United Presby
terian church and other denom
inations to support the black
groups.
Organizations of black church
men have been formed in a
number of cities, largely within
the past year, to work for so
lutions to race problems. Some
of the groups are within denom
inations and others are across
denominational lines.
The Connell is the policy
making body in matters of race
for the General Assembly of the
3.3 million member United
Presbyterian Church.

St. Aug. President Delivers
102nd Convocation Address
“One person in 10 in the U
nited States today is a black
mars, and the ratio is narrowing
all the time,” said Dr. Prezeli
R, Robinson, president of St,
Augustine’s College, as he de
livered the address at the 102nd
Formal Opening Convocation on
October 15.
‘'The black man is not only
reproducing faster, but his edu
cation and income and life ex
pectancy are rising much faster
than his white counterpart,’'Dr.
Robinson stated. In fact, the
number of cur black families
earning middle class incomes
has tripled In the last ten years.
Total black buying power is up
over 70 per cent in the same
period. The black man repre
sents a S7O billion market.
But, on the other hand, so
great is the on - rush of prog
ress in our economy that In a
relative sense, the black man
is falling further and further
behind. Today, more black men
attend segregated schools,
more dropout, more live in sub
standard tenement housing,
crowded Ln 100 persons to the
acre, In buildings over 90 per
cent of which are 35 years old,
and more are unemployed and
more are from broken homes,
and more commit suicide than
ever before.
He said that based on past
statistics, a college educated
black man today can expect to
earn in a lifetime less than a
white man who has not finished
high school. While accounting
for 10 percent of the population,
the black man filled only 2 per
cent of the white-collar Jobs and
the most lowly paid.
At the peak of the greatest
Industrial boom, this country
has ever seen, with white male
unemployment reduced to the
vanishing point, lOpercentofall
black youth arc out of jobs,
Robinson stated.

supervised by skilled workers
in the business community.
Mrs. Lee gave this account
of this year’s program: “We
have 20 girls in the coopera
tive phase of our program this
year. Fifteen are presently
working. We are very proud
of the success the program
has shown in its second year.
This is due mostly to the need
for such an opportunity for our
students and to the cooperation
we have received from the busi
ness community.”
She listed International Busi
