CROSSVILLE, Tenn. - Eddie
N. Williams, president ot the
Joint Center tor Political
Studies, has called tor the
formation oi a mass citizens
movement to pressure the
Carter Administration and
help shape the direction ot
federal policy. Williams said
"A 1970’s version oi the
successful coalition oi the
sixties" would help in advanc
ing programs and policies ot
interest to minorities.
A "mass citizens move
ment," said Williams, would
aim to mobilize black citizens
in the public policy arena as
well as "iniluence, on a
systematic and sustained bas
is, selected policies by lobbying
and protesting, electing and
defeating candidates."
Williams, in an October 29
address to the Black Caucus ol
the Tennessee General As
sembly, said his belief that
such a mass movement was
feasible grew ot ot his
experience with the national
summit meeting that followed
earlier black criticism ot the
Carter Administration.

our political gains have a
