/ PUBLIC LIBRARY CF SOUTH BEND 122 KEST WAYNE STREET SOUTH BEND, IND. 4660L Chamblee Gives Baccatattreate^ Address At IUSB .a Newark Elects Fifth Urban Black Mayor N t Dr. Roland W. Chamblee, Baccalaureate Speaker (Milton Herring Photo) On Sunday evening, May 31st, Dr. Roland W. Cham- blee, South Bend physician, was the baccalaureate spea- ker at Indiana University in South Bend. He spoke on the subject of "You and Your America" at IUSB auditor- ium. Excerpts from his speech follow the brief biog- raphy. Dr. Chamblee attended Meharry Medical College in Nashville and has practiced medicine in South Bend for sixteen years. He has been active in the South Bend Ur- ban League and in other civil rights organizations, and he was awarded knight- hood in the Order of St. Gregory the Great by Pope Paul VI. He and his family are members of Little Flower Catholic Church. Some one hundred odd years ago, a very unimport- ant American made a very important statement which cost him his dignity and ultimately his life. I quote: On this subject, I do not wish to speak, write, or think in moderation. I am in earnest. I shall not equivocate, nor will I be moved; I will not retreat, one single inch, and I will be heard. The occasion was the abo- lition of slavery; the man was William Lloyd Garri- son. NAACP Backs Nixon's $1.5 Billion Fund for Desegregation NEW YORK — The Na- tional Association for the Advancement of Colored People this week endorsed President Nixon's proposal for a Federal fund of $1.5 billion to aid school deseg- regation over a two-year period. Roy Wilkins,NAACP executive director, said in a statement issued here that The Association is calling upon all its local units to urge their Congressmen to vote for the necessary leg- islation. The President's request to Congress, May 21, came eight days after his confer- ence with Mr. Wilkins in the White House. The proposal was among issues the Presi- dent and the NAACP leader discussed at that conference on May 13. The full text of Mr. Wil- kins' statement follows-.
