ference, “Is because whites are
in complete control of the two
major parties tn this State and
are concerned mainly with white
voters."
uo said that, “eight months
ago, a series of meetings were
held and, as a result, we or
ganized small groups in twenty
cities across the state. Then,
in June of this year, we had
another meeting and came up
with the name, Black Peoples'
Union Party.
“The purpose of this party,”
Ballance continued, “Is to In
clude persons from throughout
North Carolina and have them
become Involved - people from
all walks of Hfe-to bring about
meaningful change in conditions
under which we are now living.
“Both of the major parties
(Democrat and Republican) in
this state are mainly concerned
with the needs of white peo
ple.
“The Black Peoples’ Union
P4rty will use a variety of
means to bring about pres
sures,” the attorney continued.
, ’ r We will provide food serv
ices for our people, clothing
shelters and proper healthcare
fol Blacks. It takes forty
persons to make up a chap
ter under the bylaws of which
we are working.”
Mr. Fuller, president of all-
Black Malcolm X University,
Greensboro, when asked by a
newsman whether the party
would support any white can
didate In 1072, replied, “It's
inconceivable at this time that
we will back any white candidate
for any office in the State of
North Carolina.”
Fuller also said, “We will
move independently from both
of the major parties.’’
When queried about a site for
the new part;,, he replied, “A
site is yet undecided upon as
far as a headquarters is con
cerned. Right now, headquar
ters an where our Black peo
ple are.”
Finally, Fuller said the party
would not run any Black can
didates for State office until
1072. The new party Is not
Rationally affiliated with any
other Black party, he told his
press audience.
Attorney Ballance said, “We
also plan to use legal means,
social agitation and economic
development as ways of further
ing our cause,”
When Fuller was asked where
the money was coming from
to provide the needs which he
had previously stated, he re
plied, “From out of Black Peo
ples’ pockets."

Sunday at the First Baptist
Church. Installed as president
was Rev. Charles W. Ward, pas
tor of the Wilmington St. First
Baptist Church. Other officers
included vice president, Mrs.
Sarah J. Davis; secretary, Mrs.
Uva Holland; corresponding se
cretary, Mrs. Margaret Rous
del!; executive secretary, Ralph
Campbell; and Treasurer, Mrs.
Harveleigh White.
In speaking to the group, Dr.
Hargraves stated, “It is time to
take off the old clothes and put
on the new clothes of a new
man. Old standards and cri
teria are being questioned; old
institutions and organizations
must give way to new ones.”
The effects of slavery angghet
toization are still being felt by-
Blacks.
Very few can shake the slave
mentality that has for years
kept Black and other poor peo
ple at the bottom of the econo
mic ladder. Our historic trans
fer of income and affluence have
benefitted some, but mostly
none of the Black masses In
our nation.
Dr. Hargraves declared that
the NAACP brought about the
political and civil benefits of
the American system. “So al
so did SCLC (Southern Chris
tian Leadership Conference),
SNCC (Student Non - Violent
Cordinating Committee), CORE
(Congress of Racial Equality),
etc.," he said.
No one brought about the so
cial benefits of a just system.
“Thus,’' according to the Shaw
University president, “the
question is today being asked
if the affluent of this nation,
having long profited from the
labor of the non - affluent,
shouldn’t begin to subsidize'the
poor and the disadvantaged as
they have been for years?”
There is a calling for a “new"
subsidy - from top to bottom
of the economic system, not a
continuation of the bottom to
top method of the past.
Tribute was paid to the con
tributions of Du Bois, Wash
ington, Johnson, Cnffie, the
Harlem Renaissance, Marcus
Garvey, and the late Whitney
Young's Marshall Plan for poor
people. The need today Is for
a sophisicated coalition of all
groups to advance the lgnts
of the masses towards social
and economic goals collective
ly. Dr. Hargraves concluded
his remarks by reminding the
newly installed! officers of the
legend of NAACP’ ...tradition in
a struggle of humanity that Is
urgently needed in Raleigh-
Wake County. ”
Taking office as members of
the Executive Committee were
Father Art her J. Calloway, Ed
Carson, Mrs. E.M. Cududen,
S. Cameron, Rev. Charles Cole
man, Mrs. Susa Fraud, Mrs.
Lorenza. Hay wood, Miss Vivian

J. Knight, Attorney S.S. Mit
chell, Mrs. L. Paige, W. Saun
derland, J.A. Shephard, J.J.
Swanson, Jr., Millie D. Veasey,
and Mrs. W. Vincer.
State NAACP President Kelly
Alexander of Charlotte tele
graphed his message to the
group. He said, “I am
confident that Raleigh-Wake
County will project itself a
gain as a great NAACP chap
ter for freedom and justice.
You can not help but be a suc
cess." President Ward pledg
ed that the chapter would”...
take a look at the Raleigh school
situation." He stated that the
group would formulate a plan
for implementation of bond
monies for the poor areas of
Raleigh and present them to the
city, “The NAACP is not in
competition with anybody; we
only seek the cooperation of
all people for the betterment
of humanity," he said.

'Conttnuib reos n
the Republican leadership of the
availability of the black vote.
Let us say here and now that
the Black Caucus readily agrees
with an article that appeared
in the Wall Street Journal re
cently, “The Black Vote Not
in the Bag.” The article point
ed out some salient points about
the black vote and the Demo
cratic Party. Even though the
article gave a national outlook,
we hasten to say that mix-up
in Democratic national circles,
the apparent discontent among
the Democratic power-struc
ture in North Cat olina, together
with the Chicago debacle In
1368, -certainly gives cause for
much concern.
It is the thinking of the Cau
cus that a well - planned pro
gram, initiated by the N.C. Re
publican leadership, extending
from the White House to the
court house, with meaningful
intent, can be the lever by which
many blacks can be lifted from
the self-imposed prison walls
of the Democratic Party, here
in North Carolina. Should the
Republican leadership give
serious consideration to the fol
lowing, it does not yet appear
what can be wrought:
1. The black voter must be
assured that he can become
a part of the Republican Ideo
logy, beginning at the county
level. Recruiting must begin
with the County Executive Com
mittee, It is not enough to
have committee meetings In i
vory towers, where the average
black fears to tread. It has
long been established that if
you start benind you must run
twice as fast to even catch up.
We must take the Republican
Party to the people.
The black voter is becoming
less enchanted with the black
leader, who has voted him for
his own personal aggrandize
ment. He is also dubious of
the white leadership afforded by
the Republican Party. He does
not understand why the North
Carolina Republican Party has
not projected a bona-ftde black
image that can be related to
him.
There is also the uncanny
practice, on the part of the na
tional and local Republican
leaders, of bargaining with
black Democrats to deliver the
black vote. In most instances
the effort ends with the same
results--the black Democratic
leader spending the Republican
money and laughing about it.
There is also the diabolical
practice of the Republican
leadership to square any mat
ter, pertaining to black Repub
licans, with black Democratic
leaders. In some quarters,
it has come to such a bad,
state that if a black business
man applies to the government
for a loan or a grant, it is
passed on by a black Demo
cratic loader.
2, The policy of the North
Carolina Republican Party must
be geared to the times. It
must show an Interest in the
poor man’s plight. The black
voter has seen the Democratic
Party join an unholy alliance
with labor and give him token
consideration in the policy -
making. It is the thinking of
the Black Caucus that the black
voter has a right to be pro
moted through the ranks to
the top echelon, as his abi
lity warrants and calls upon the
North Carolina Republican Par
ty to endorse such a proposal.
Job preference should not have
a color tag. The North Carolina
Republican Party can exert an
influence in labor - policy that
shows designs accepting quality
instead of color.
Candidates for office, on the
Republican ticket, must open up
a new line of communication
. by visiting the black commu
nity and not sending word.
RESOLUTION PRESENTED TO
THE NORTH CAROLINA RE
PUBLICAN party.
Whereas;
The plight of the N. C. Re
publican Party, as it relates
to the black vote, and whereas;
It has been firmly established
that if the N.C. Republican Par
ty is to gain control it must
secure the black vote, and
whereas;
The deceit of the Democratic
Party has hoodwinked the poor,
alienated the middle class and
isolated the rich, and where
as; the Black Repuo.lcan Cau
cus of N.C. has made an ex
tensive survey, in an effort
to bring the black vote into
the Republican fold: Be it re
solved that the following reso
lution be adopted by this con
vention.
That the N.C. Republican Par
ty go on record In securing
the black vote in the follow
ing manner. 1, Create an ideo
logy that will give the black
voter a party image of policy
making and participation. 2,
Adopt a policy that will not In
furiate the white vote and fur
ther alienate the potential black
vote. Such a policy should
approach the crucial issues
without racial overtones that
relate to busing, welfare, law
enforcement, labor, school dis
tricts, suburban flight and kin
dred problems judiciously and
prudently.

“I am a great basketball fan

with a winning team, I am sure
the spectators will turn out.
Everybody loves a winner.”
Miss Grace Albert
“I am not a follower of basket
ball that much. But from what
I can hear, I think the Cou
gars need more games In Ra
leigh to maintain the followers
they have. Say playing every
third home game in Raleigh will
give the people some way to
identify with the Cougars.'’
Mr. Arthur Best
“I think attendance fell off
for the Raleigh games for sev
eral reasons and the way to get
these people back to the games
will be by correcting these mis
takes. First, the facilities at
Dorton Arena were not eood.
Next, the Cougars were
not playing the better teams
in the league and last, the team
was not winning. But by cor
recting these errors, Ithink the
Cougars can have large atten
dance at every game play ed in
