.1 / J* 2 >V. CINCINNATI-- The Nixon Administration, "Faint- hearted liberals" and"mis- guided black separatists" were targets of a blistering attack by Bishop Stephen G. Spottswood, chairman of the Board of Directors of the Na- tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in his keynote ad- dress prepared for delivery ores Nixon, "Faint-hearted Liberals" and "Black Separatists" at the opening public session of the Association's 61st an- nual convention here, Mon- day night, June 29. Also subjected to the ver- bal fire of theAME Zion pre- late were the die-hard south- ern racists, "the white church" and "power-seek- ing politicians." These var- ied elements, he charged, were all engaged in efforts to frustrate the realization of the "single society," hopefully envisioned in the historic 1968 report of the National Advisory Commis- sion on Civil Disorders. "For the first time since Woodrow Wilson," Bishop Spottswood charged, "we have a national Administra- tion that can be rightfully characterized as anti-Ne- gro." in support of his charge he cited a series of Bishop Steven Gill Spotts- wood of the AME Zion Church spoke to the dele- gates of the 61st annual meet- ing of the NAACP which took place in Cincinnati between June 29th and July 4th. Bish- op Spottswood is Chairman ; of the National Board of j Directors of the NAACP. (Milton Herring Photo) THE REFORMER VOL. 3.

Huston, a 1967 graduate of Central High School volun- teered to fight for the free- dom of the V ietnamese, and lost the lower halves of both legs doing so.

If you need yard work done, or help in moving, painting, and cleaning, Ac- tion, Inc's Flying Squad is at your service. For the third year, the Flying Squad Program is providing summer jobs for youngsters and teenagers and relatively inexpensive work services for South Bend citizens. This summer the program is being supervised by Mr. George Smith and Mr. Ron Banks. The program works out of Hansel Center. Per- sons wishing to enlist the services of Squad members, should call 234- 6041 and ask for Mr. Smith. You will be glad you did, and so will the young men who will earn money for summer activities and school in the fall. Williams, Jenkins Join Hansel Center Rangel Defeats Powell Mr. Charles Bernard Ran- gel, a forty year old Black New York State Assembly- man has unseated Mr. Adam Clayton Powell in a Demo- cratic Party primary cong- ressional election held in Harlem last week. Mr. Powell had held the congres- sional seat for 24 years. Rangel is a high school dropout who joined the Army. FoUowing his discharge, he returned to school, grad- uated as an honor student from New York University, and earned a Law Degree from St. John's University. Rangel's electoral victory was achieved through hard work and peaceful campaign. Like PoweU, Rangel's home is Harlem. Unless PoweU makes good his threat to run as an in- dependent and defeat Rangel in the November election, Rangel will be Harlem's man in Washington in 197L Huston tried to get a job on his own, but his efforts proved futile. He then went to the Urban League's On the Job Training Project Of- fice at 1308 West Washington Street. The Office staff un- successful called several large local corporations. The main objection was that the corporation rules were inflexible for hiring disabled veterans. When OJT contacted MFDW, an executive there said he was willing to in- terview Huston.

From 1958 to 1968 she served as sec- retary/office manager for WUliam R. Morris. Mrs. WUliams is also employed actions and pronouncements by the Administration in- volving job discrimination, school desegregation, Sup- reme Court nominations, ef- forts to dilute the impact of the Voting Rights Act, support of tax exemptions for segregated private sch- ools, and the widely pub- licized Moynihan memor- andum proposing a period of "benign neglect" of the nation's black minority. "A small but vociferous number of Negroes has ef- fected the black retreat as indicated in the black col- lege students' demands for separate facilities . ..

Challenging the statement of Professor Alexander Bickell of the Yale Univer- sity Law School that "The vanguard of black opinion... is oriented more toward the achievement of group iden- tity and group autonomy than toward the use of public schools as assimilation a- gencies," Bishop Spottswood queried: "Who asked Dr. Bickell to determine the vanguard of black opinion? We intend to integrate the public schools in order to give black children equality of education—not for the purpose of assimilation!" We in the NAACP,he said, "have worked too long and too hard, made too many sacrifices, spent too much money, shed too much blood, lost too many lives fight- ing to vindicate our man- hood as fuH participants in the American system to al- low our victories to be nul- lified by phony liberals, die- hard racists, discouraged and demoralized Negroes and power-seeking politi- cians." The NAACP Board chair- man recounted the activities and achievements of the civil rights organization in a var- iety of fields and called for rededication to the effort to bring "the American dream to reality for all our citi- zens -- in the ghettos, in the suburbs, in business, in government, on the col- lege campus and in every neighborhood of these United States."
