NEW YO«^| Boston, Turner told his audi ence that many young blacks in the 1960's once had faith they could change the system. “Dr. Martin Luther King be lieved that if we stood up and challenged the system,” said Turner, “we could redeem the man or change the system. Others believed that if we or ganized we would build a new America where the black man could grow. We reallv believed that.” He said many blacks during those years were willing to give their lives in Birmingham and other places for that kind of promise. “Our hopes,” added Turner, a black Harvard-trained news paperman, were rekindled by the liberalism of the late Presi dent Kennedy and even by President Johnson and cne Poverty Program. But we found out that such things as the vot ing rights bill really didn’t mean anything.” Turner said that black peo ple must be responsible for di recting their own change. “The most powerful tool we have is the minds of black people,” he said “It is essential that the kind of change we need as a people start at home.” “Black nationalism and white nationalism cannot exist in the world at the same time,” he said “By white nationalism, I mean the manipulation of re sources to the advantage of whites.” Turner said that black peo ple must Ire responsible for di recting their own change. “The most powerful tool we have is the minds of black people,” he said. “It is essential that the kind of change we need as a people start at home.” “Black nationalism and white nationalism cannot exist in the world at the same time,” he said. “By white nationalism, I mean the manipulation of re sources to the advantage of whites.” Turner said blacks must un derstand w'hat kind of values A WELCOME TO YOU From RALEIGH’S NEWEST HOLDEN’S GLamGhaMA CLEANING CENTER 1824 OLD GARNER ROAD DRY CLEANERS OPEN; 7 A.

BLACKS SHOW CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) series and cpntains new data permitting a comprehensive view' of the conditions of blacks. Median family income for Ne groes in 1968 was about $5,400 or 60 percent of the white fami ly median of $8,900. This was an improvement over 1964 when the Negro median was 54 per cent, and higher than the fig ure of 55 percent at the time of the 1960 census, a percent age that included Negroes and racial groups other than whites. Percentage gains in family income during the affluent 1960’s have been somewhat higher for Negroes and other races than for whites. Also, one out of every three families of Negroes and other races in 1968 had an income of SB,OOO or more. Nonetheless, in the South, where half of all U. S. Negroes still live, the Negro family median was still only half of the white family median in 1968. Employment for Negroes and other races increased 21 per cent during 1960-’69 compared with an 18 percent increase for whites, the study shows. Negro employment rose to 8.4 from 6.9 million as the number of employed whites rose to 69.5 from 58.9 million. The unem ployment rate for Negroes in 1968 and during 1969 was the fewest since the Korean War bill IHI about double the While n Nf|.'l " lei-ii U'el s had Hie highest unemployment rate of any group in the labor force in 1969. BLACKOUT CONTINUED FROM FACE I) ed.” Conyers, just returned from Alabama where he addressed in Montgomery a fund-raising din ner of the National Democratic Party of Alabama, said; “The NDPA activities were held a round the corner from the hotel where Vice-President Agnew berated the press for biased news coverage. It’s more than ironic that none of the recent press accounts acknowledged NDPA’s growing strength which forced George Wallace’s Demo crats to make some token party reforms* Prior to ibis, blacks were effectively shut out from all Democratic and Republican Alabama politics. At this very moment, Wallace has held up announcing as a candidate for governor because it Is widely conceded that the NDPA, with their own candidate, may defeat him so badly as to preclude any serious . Presidential as pirations he may have for 1972.” Conyers expressed, surprise as finding a truly black and white political orgahizatlors operating in the deep South with plans to offer an integrat ed, state-wide slate from gov ernor on down. “I fully aspect this party to elect as many as 200 black and liberal white of fice holders as a result of this year's election,” Conyers predicted. “The racist Wallace supporters in the old Demo cratic party have finally met their match in the bold, new thrust of the NDPA.” In praising the emergence of liberal politics in Alabama, Conyers said; “The formation of this party is the most im portant political decision made by black people In the Smith in the twentieth century. No longer will we remain hope lessly locked into an electoral strategy based on a principal of the lessor evil than invari ably trades the prospect of basic change in order to keep in office racist democratic hacks. We will net be locked into a strategy of loyalty to a party that betrays otir deepest moral commitments.” “Ultimately,” Conyers’ speech continues, “the power of the National Democratic Par ty of Alabama lies in its po tential to spread this new politi cal phiilosophy beyond this state and to coalesce a maosive black and white constituency of the op pressed with a massive con stituency of conscience, A merica’s poor, its blacks, Its Mexican-American, Puerto Ri can and Indian citizen, ' its very young and very old have always suffered tokenism. usmm Raleigh, N, C.
