formerly told blacks to “go out
and kill them (whites),”
preached a different sermon
this week when he urged a

Mr. Marion Barnes - 9th and
Gwinnett. I refuseto answer on
grounds I am totally prejudiced
toward the local press, because
they are totally predjudiced
toward me, a black man.
Mr. W.C. Smith - local
citizen. No, there are too many
things of a constructive nature
in Augusta-Richmond County
taking place in the black
community that are surpressed
by all the news media, and
that’s television, radio, and the

never call us.
Mr. Henry W. Phinizy, 1248
Pine St. No! I do not feel there
is adequate coverage by the
news media in the
Augusta-Richmond County
community for Blacks. There
are too many constructive
things going on that go
unreported.
Mr. Lewis J. Young - 2833
Wheeler Road No! I do not
believe we as Black folk receive
sufficient coverage by the local
news papers. Most of the news
concerning Blacks is cutting,
shooting, or crime. We have
society goings on, but you read
very little about it and there is
no black society reporter. It
seems like they hunt for crime
and shootings and nothing else.
