carceratlon, my total bonds on
all charges equalled to over
$120,000 (more than Angela Da*
vis, which was neveroverSlOO,
000)."
Chavis is a native of Oxford.
He is a graduate of Mary Pot
ter High, attended St. Augus-
tlno*.s for one year, then tratis-
forred to UNC at Charlotte
where he graduated with a B.
S. degree, majoring in chemis
try, While in Charlotte, he was
a candidate for the lOCO City
Council race for office. He was
Just 21 years old at this time.
Ho finished 2nd out ofthe blacks
(7) running, and and I2th out of
a field of 22 in ail.
Chavis moved back to his
homotowT) OJ Oxford InGranvllle
County in 1570 ujid taught at hls
alma mater, Mary Potter, on a
part-time basis. In May ofl570,
a high school classmate uf his,
Henry B. .Marrow, was "mur
dered by one of the local Klan
leaders in Oxford, by the name
Of Bohert Teel,andhlstwosons,
all of whom were acquitted liy
all Oxford all-white jury'. "This
incident made nie further rea
lize the kind of justice that black
people have Iteen receiving for
so long in tlic courts. .\t this
point. 1 became employed bythe
CltJ, headquartered in New
York, which is an agency of the
United Churcli of Christ. T was
hired a.s the director of com •
nturilty organl/.atlon for i''jth the
states of N. C. and Vlrglrila.
The Pev. l.eou \\hit* of Ra
leigh, is thi- ex-direclor of the
CRJ for N. C, and Vlrcinia.
Rev, Chavjs has been in the
field .since the Sprh>g of I0C7,
having iH-en appoitile] us co
ordinator of the SCl.C In Wes
tern N. C. He also was onqe
a labor organizer for theAF-
Stale Coiitii} Muui ipul Kmfdoy-
ee.s, which is a a pari of the AFL-
CV> ui Cliarloiei*, Ther*’ he or
ganized this group back inl9d7.
’68. He has been affiliated be
fore and after with numerous
civic, political and mainly re
ligious organizations, geared to
the improvement of black peo
ple. H.. was ordained In April,
1971, in New York, as a minis
ter in the UCC, and became the
pastor-founder of the church In
April of '71.
The malt reason that I
founded the church was because
I realized that the traditional
black church needed to be more
Involve^! with thoday-to-daylife
stylo of black people and (he
young people, over the lastsev
eral years have i>ecome "turned
off*’ by the (’lack church because
it has become Irrelevant totholr
religious and spiritual needs.*'
The Rev, Chavis is married
to the former .Miss Jacquelyn
Bullock of Oxford and they are
the parents of three children.
"During the last three months
because of my incarceration one
month in Wilmington City Jail
and the last two months at Cen
tral f^lson here, I have wit
nessed many other injustices
that have l«cn perpetuated a-
galnst our people that many out
siders are unaware of. It seems
a.s though today, prisons of this
country are filled up with a
disproportionate number of our
people. In N. C.. for example,
wo make up 86 percent of the
population of the system.
'*1 have plans to meet with
.\i;gela Davis in Raleigh during
the month of August. Planshave
not yet tioer. fhiallzed, but tlie
prospects look pretty bright.

J. CONYERS
(CONTINUED FRO.M PAGE ONE)
Of black Americans.
Mr. Conyers noted In hls re
marks that It Is a commonplace
of our times that the FBI as It
1$ now structured poses agrave
threat to American society.
However respected In some
areas of law enforcement the
FBI may at one time have been,
It has since moved far beyond
its Congressional mandate Into
the vague' and dangerous area
of domestic Internal security.
Under the broad umbrella of
"domestic subversion,** the
FBI has unilaterally expanded
Its role to the point where
citizens are investigated for all
manner of things for which
there is no legal basis.
Under the long reign of J,
Edgar Hoover, Mr. Cftiyers
pointed out, the Bureau under
took responslbUltiesnever con
templated by those who forced
templated by those who formed
the FBI, responsiblltties which
constitute a great usurpation of
authority unparalleled tn our
history. Theinvestlgatlvetech-
niques employed in the search
for '‘domestic 'tubverslves'*
usually result In th.i deprivation
of citizens' rights guaranteed
under the First and Fourth A-
mendments, the p’^eclse thing
about which the Framers of the
Constitution were concerned
when they formulated the BUI
of Rights.
Of particular concern toCon-
gressman Conyers and the
Congresslcmal Black Caucus Is
the disproportionate surveil
lance by the FBI and the Se
cret Service of black citizens.
It ha$ been known for some
time that Mr. Hoover order^
a thorough Investigation ofbla&
student unions and organiza
tions. Mr. Anderson alsoverl-
fted the long-held belief that the
FBI Is greatly exceeding its
Congressional mandate by U-
legal and capricious surveil
lance of black leaders In the
fields of sports, entertainment,
religion and polities. Hefurth-
er revealed that the Secret
Service complies a’list of what
It considers to be potential as
sassins. On this so-called
Black Nationalist List are the
names of 5500 black leaders
and citizens. These assertions
FBI Is greaUy exceeding Its
Congressional mandate 1^ Il
legal and capricious surveU-
lance of black leaders In the
fields of sports, entertainment,
retigioo and pc^itics. Hefurth-
er revealed that the Secret
S^vlce compiles a'Ust of what
It considers to be potential as
sassins. On this so-called
Black Nationalist List are ihe
names of 5500 black leaders
and citizens. These assertloas
.were supported by documenta-
tloa Mr. Andersontumed
over to the Caucus.
Mr. Conyers noted that the
FBI claims to be a non-poli
tical organization and asserts
that it is not a national po
lice force. But in Us intel
ligence and counter-intel
ligence work involving progres
sives and activists, for ex
ample, U frequently engages
In acilvUy that Is clearly poli
tical.
Conyers stated that these un
warranted and unauthorized
cixnpUatlons of unverified data-
mueh of Itpolttica! in nature-by
ihe FBI through pervasive In
formant programs and techni
cal survelllanees must stop be
cause a free society cannot
tolerate IntruslMs by what a-
mounts to a national security
