THE CAROLINIAN j.KIGH N.C.. SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1972 .1$ KING’S BAPTISTS TO (Continued from P, D lhal will be made on Dr King's birthday this January 15th with the National Office of the Southern Christian Leadership (Yniference (in light of the fact that Mrs. King and the Center are fully aware that the true custodian of Dr. King's work - lhal IS. the National Office of SCl.C is dying, (mainly due to a lack of funds! forces us in the Atlanta Chapter to break oiir silence on what is truly happening (o the works of Dr. King on several occasions a the National Office of 1C •creived funds (even though [’resident Abernathy needed these funds to effective ly continue and develop the works of Dr. King) for unity .'ake. he divided those badly •leerted funds with Mrs King and her Center "We in the Atlanta Chapter ire convinced that the most- needed w ay to honor Dr King's birthday is to be almut l.ittiii hing and implementing ■lon.e action-type programs that 'Viil revive th^ true -''orks of our I’RINCK OK PEACE There for e. as President of the Atlanta t,'h.a|iler of SCLC I call upon ■ Mrs King - who still has the - abilil.v to develop the resources : ! and Dr Abernathy - who still : has (he ability to develop the plai; fo liberate us - to join hands and lead us in a human rights coalition to plan, organize, and iiiipleinent THE SECOND KECON.STRl'CTION of this great man's works I'ruth compels us to further break our silence on the confiniialion of Dr King's works by admitting that his works arc not only unfinished, they are dying The poor people in Atlanta, in Georgia, and across this country are asking the (|iieslion. "What happened I die movement'’" Therefore, ■ini'', (here is a Reformation of Dr King's works; white racists inialit have killed the man, but v.e will have killed his dream. We've had enough deflections: we've had enough empty words we've had enough press coiiicrcnces - what we need now IS lo reconstruct the works of our iK'loved fallen Leader throngh action. A^ a beginning, the Atlanta Chapter of SCLC is calling for a Birlbdav March this January ir>(h 'a "HUNGER DEATH MARCH" in support of Dr King's works - against the (lower structure of Atlanta in the person _ of Mayor Sam Massell. wh(') is committed to 'htpression of the poor instead of liebabilitalion, and against ^Governor Jimmy Carter, who publicly stated during his 'innaug'ural address that justice -would be “the motivating force" behind his administra tion, but who refused to act justly by benignly neglecting lo declare January 15th a state people's holiday in honor of our KING OK JUSTICE - the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King. Jr. "Jimmy Carter refused to declare King’s birthday a holidav in Georgia, but did declare a day of m" Tning in Georgia for Harry Truman's funeral. All state office build- tings were closed, and state .'employees were paid to give .honor to the war-mongering 33rd President of America. Lest '*e forget, it was Harry Truman •who ordered 'he atomic bombs .drop(>( I ishima that Jiilled ac ' ‘'or two hundred tho. women and children. G( aliens un- ^rn will be affected by the ■radioactivity from the bombs .drop(red on brown Japanese and pot order the bombs drop[)ed on 'lyhile facist Germany. ■ "Jimmy Carter refused lo fight the proposed reinactment of a state death penalty in Georgia, even though the ^preme Court has ruled the death penalty as applied is unconstitutional. If James Earl Ray - the white racist paid to kill King - was not executed for killing King then no one should be ordered executed as punish ment for killing anyone. Jimmy Carier does not object to the bombing of Vietnam and hereby supports the Wallace- Nixonite position asserting that bombs bring peace in Vietnam. . ‘"rhese are but a few of the many reasons why we, as an oppressed people, should take off of work on Monday, January J5th, and participate in demon- ptrations against the power Structure and in support of tehabilitaling Dr. King's works. Finaily and foremost we should rarticipate in protest activities ^aiise white America, whose leaders pubiicly praised Dr. King and attended his funeral mid marched behind the .mule drawn wagon carrying his body, have refused to give honor to our Prince o‘f Peace by declaring January 15th and April -Ith "People's Holidays." &nce Dr. King, like Jesus, lived for the poor and was crucified for preaching and teaching his brothers and sisters the princi ples of true love: peace; and brotherhood. Dr. King's birth day and crucifixion date, iike Jesus, should be international holidays.

The treasury is in good shape and the NAACP will conimue to gel involved in Ihe areas of housing, employ ment and education. Other words of caution and dismay were echoed by other NAACP leaders: ".Alter they hear Nixon's code words, Ihe whites in Mississippi say they don't have to obey the laws anymore. " said Henry, who has been active in state Democratic Party Politics. Henry said he feared blacks were being attracted to more militant apiwals as the Admin- islralion's "anti-black" [mlicies become evident As an example ol this, Henry [minted to the return recently of Stokley Carmichael. Another NAACP official. Rev. Emmett Burns, field director in .Mississippi, says the racial situalinn is worse in the South. "But it's worse in the Deep •Soulh than up North. Back home it’s a matter of life and death." he said.

PROGRAMS (Continued from p. 1) President Nixon has an nounced his determination to hold federal spending to $250 billion this fiscal year, and blacks have contended that he will make the bulk of his cuts in the social-oriented programs which were begun during the Johnson Administration. In order lo meet his 1 ■ virnced goal, the President w ill h ive to slash some $17 billion lut nf programs already appro >ated by the Congress. Kew Ol the (irnixised cutbacks have been anniomced officially, but various a^pocts of his program are leaking out lo the press now and it offers a clear usurption of the Congressional constitutional power of the purse, many ttemocratic con gressional leaders have charg ed The manpower programs, which are administered by the Labor Department, have long been a target of massive budget cuts by the President since he views them in an unfavorable light generally and has con tended that they just don’t work. A spokesman for the Labor Department said the freeze directive was merely a "review of our expenditures," but sources close to the department say otherwise. "It's the beginning of a massive reduction in these kind of programs." one source said. "The handwriting has be«n on the wall a long Jime. and it is finally happening." Last month, the Labor Department sent telegrams to Us regional administrators ordering the freeze and advis ing them not to enter into new agreements with manpower programs. More than $1.6 million is now spent on various manpower training programs - many of lliem welfare recipients who are trying desperately lo get oft •lie welfare rolls Tliis amount, coupled with auoilier $1 billion for public service jobs in local governments, has increased greatly the [xissihiy of the black workers in local communities of getting good jobs.

Legislature and lo prod the law makers regarding legisla tion which would enhance Ihe best interests of blacks and other minorities, much after the fashion of Clarence Milchell.
