HOOKER Jackson Appointedßy MLK-Expo Is Cited The fate of the late Dr. Martin Luther King’s Southern Christian Leadership Conference is be ing weighed by many, due to the walkout of the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the entire staff of “O peration Breadbasket.” Many observers have watched developments very closely since Jackson began coming to the fore so rapidly. It is to be remembered that Jackson is the lather of non violent action as it relates to the present generation. The movement started when he and a group of A & T College stu dents decided to stage the first sit-down in the city of Greens boro. The movement gained momentum and it was not long before it had spread, all over much of the United States. Upon graduation from the North Carolina school, Jackson went to New York to further his education by taking courses at Chicago University. When Martin Luther King decided to put some new flavor in his pro gram . he tapped the young budd ing leader and put him in charge of “Operation Breadbasket.” It is to be remembered that Jack son was with King'on that “Dark Day” in Memphis when King met his death. There were many who thought that Jackson should have been given King’s mantle at that time, Abernathy is said to have gone along with Jackson with far less enthusiasm than that given him by King, The break is said to have come when Abernathy is alleged to have suspended Jackson for his participation in the successful promotion of the “1971 Black Expo” in Chicago, last September. Speculation was rife that Abernathy was peeved over the overall promo tion and the handling of the huge profit that is said to have bean w? ABRAM SERVANCE made. The venture drew large crowds and attracted business executives, manufacturing firms, stage and screen stars and leading politicians. Even though Jackson had bucked the “Daley Machine” and tried to run as an independent candidate for mayor, the exposition had the approval of Daley. (®*e KSV. MCKMM, I*, 2) ' rs \> *•', i. REV.

His life was one of the most illustrious ever accepted by a predominantly white soci ety in this century. In 1945, while in San Francis co when the United Nations began, for the next 25 years nothing short of very serious illness kept him away from the quest by the UN for world peace. '*l very much doubt if there is any better way to serve hu manity, one’s country and the community,'* Bunche said in 1952 while turning his back on attempts to get him to run for the U. S. Senate. Bunche died Thursday, two days after he entered New York Hospital. The 1950 Negro Nobel Peace Piize winner had been in and out of hospitals for several years, suffering from kidney malfunctions, diabetes, heart trouble and near blindness. It was these illnesses that forced him to retire in June as U. N. Undersecretary. The family announced tenta tive plans for a funeral ser vice at noon Saturday at River side Church. Bunche’s body reposed at the Campbell Funer al Home. “Dr, Bunche never relented in- his persistence to advance the cause of brotherhood and cooperation among men and nations,’’ President Nixon said In Washington.

The grant is one of more than 188 awarded so far this year by the Campaign, a- massive effort by American Catholics to strike at the roots of poverty in this nation. Sister Genevieve Brown, di rector of the program, said the parents--eight Blacks and eight Puerto Ricans—have been “a great help in the class room because they know the children and their home con ditions and they understand them so well.” Parent •• teachers who come from the community have a spe cial rapport with the children based on their common back (See CENTS* IS.

The shooting of the youth last summer is said to have been the cause of the unrest. It happened, according to reliable information when a rap at a front door of a local home resulted In a shot being fired shortly after the door opened and one youth was mortally wounded. Investigating officers have worked relentlessly, due to the fact that it was thought the death was the result of racial unrest. The two prison terms, meted out here, coupled with the ar rest of Ben Chavis, on con spiracy charges, growing out of the Oxford unrest, In Raleigh Friday, and the calling of a grand jury, in Pitt County to probe the death of an alleged black laborer, by a highway pa trolman, have had a tendency to cause much concern among •blacks. The trial of the more than 100 persons arrested In Pitt County is being watched with interest. It had been hop ed that race relations in tho eastern part of the state had improved and that the people in that area could look forward to a new life of brotherhood and understanding.
