The Augusta News-Review - March 1, 1973,
Jesse Jackson - Abernathy
Call For Mass Demonstrations
By Charlie Cobb
National Black News Service
Washington - (NBNS) - The
Rev. Jesse Jackson of PUSH
and Rev. Ralph Abernathy of
SCLC have announced plans
for mass demonstrations,
expressing outrage at Nixon’s
plans for ending OEO
programs. The black leaders
vowed to lead an insistent
struggle in behalf of the
continuation of these
programs.
“It’s beginning of a spring
offensive and there will be
direct action as opposed to
direct talking throughout the
summer. It will be a long, hot
summer,” Jackson declared.
Abernathy called for
demonstrations at the state,
county, and federal level.
The Mobilization for
Domestic Unity was sponsored
by the National Association for
Community Development and
is the coalition directly
responsible for the
organization of the lobbying
effort.
It has the broad-based
support of a number of
National organizations,
including the SCLC, the
National Council of Churches,
the National Welfare Rights
Organization, the National
Black Caucus, and the National
Sharecroppers Fund. Other
organizations cover a wide
range of political, social, and
economic organizations.
“It is senseless to end the
war in Vietnam and at the
same time end the war on
poverty,” Abernathy said
lashing out at Nixon’s political
and social priorities.
Jackson urged people “not
to give up hope and move to
alcohol and dope.” He said
that Nixon must be forced to
react to the needs of the poor.
Both Abernathy and
Jackson promised street
demonstrations “on or about
April 4,” the anniversary of the
assassination of Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr.
Jackson said that he would
be “functioning” with Rev.
Abernathy “in and around that
date.” He pledged,
“demonstration without
hesitation, jail without bail.”
In addition to calling for
demonstrations at the state,
county, and federal level,
Abernathy called for a mass

the Nixon Administration.
Richmond County Sheriffs
Department for $50,000 to
improve their sub-station.
Charles Walker of the
Augusta Human Relations
Commission along with George
Johnson of the East Augusta
Volunteer Fire Department for
$6,000 for new equipment.
Hugh Cross, Director of the
county landfill requested
$190,000 for new equipment.
Chester Trower, Director of
Augusta OIC requested
$150,000, stating Federal
Funds will be cut off for his
program after July 1,1973.
County Commissioner
Madison Woo, requested
$15,000 for the
Augusta-Richmond County
Museum, for heating and other
improvements.

final list of priorities.

for them.”

slaughter of over 30 persons in
the Attica massacre is one of
the countless examples.”

word,” he stressed, “is
coalition.”
