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.”

SOLAR ECLIPSE SLATED - Washington: On
March 7 a shadow will fall across the face of
the sun. For brief periods the sun will be blotted
from earthly view along a path extending 7,000
miles from below the Equator in the South Paci
fic to west of Ireland in the North Atlantic.
Newsmap shows the path the solar eclipse will
take across the U. S. At about 1:17 p.m. the
shadow will darken the coast of the U. S. south
west of Perry, Fla., and sweep up the east coast
and leave land east of Norfolk, Va., about 19
minutes later. It will pass over Nantucket Is
land at 1:47 p.m. and then sweep along the east
ern shore of Nova Scotia between 2:53 and 2:58
p.m. Atlantic Standard Time, cross Newfound
land, and then head out over the sea, finally dis
appearing west of Ireland. (UPI).
Committee for sometime and
will tie in attendance. Bishop
C, Eubantts Tucker, Louis
ville will serve as chaplain
for the representatives of the
26 million protestant mem
bers that envisoned for the sug
gested Church of Christ Unit
ing
The nine denominations in
volved are the Episcopal, Unit
ed Methodist., Christian (Disci
ples), United Presbyterian and
Presbyterian (Southern)
churches, the United Church of
Christ and three mainly Negro
churches-the African Methodist
Episcopal, African Methodist
Episcopal Zion and Christian
Methodist Episcopal.
The plan specifies that a
Negro be named as the first
presiding bishop of the new
church and that the church
specifically bar race discrimi
nation in any form.
The church would be com
mitted to “struggle with rac
ism, poverty, environment, war
and the problems of the fami
ly of man, minister to the deep
yearning of the human spirit for
fullness in life and provide for
the common use of the re
sources and gifts” of many
Christian traditions. It would
provide for strong lay influence
in its councils.
The 150-page plan of union,
drawn up by a special drafting
commission, said the aim was
not just a “mechanical merg
er,” but formation of a dynamic
unifying body seeking the ulti
mate “unity of the whole
church.”

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

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
