Fletcher as consultant to the RNC for minority affairs. Fletcher will advise the Chairman and other party officials on political matters with special emphasis in the minority area. In announcing the appointment. Bush said: “With the appointment of Art Fletcher, the Republican National Committee is putting the nation on notice that the Republican Party means business and is going to actively and aggressively seek to not only build a broad base of support for the Party and its programs, but also to significantly involve black leaders in the affairs of the Party.” Fletcher, a longtime advocate of the involvement of blacks in the policy making areas of the Republican Party, sees as one of his goals the encouragement of qualified blacks to run for public office as Republicans. “A top priority”, Fletcher said of his new position, “will be to see that electable black candiates run for Congress in 1974 and that they are supported fully by the official Party structure. It is hoped that one or more black Republicans will be elected to Congress during the coming mid-term elections.” Fletcher began his work with the Republican Party in 1948 when, as a student at Washbum University in Topeka, Kansas, he was state Vice-Chairman of the Kansas Republican Party. From 1955 to 1957, Fletcher served as legislative liason officer for former Kansas Governor Fred Hall. Fletcher was chairman of the California Republican Assembly 1959 through 1961, and in 1962 ran for a seat in the California State Assembly. In 1965, Fletcher was elected to the City Council of Pasco, The Augusta News-Review - August 2, 1973 - "Is English An Enemy To Black Let’s dßSfc Share J People?" Js Loftlin Have you noticed how the English language is geared toward prejudice and bigotry? It never really occurred to me until I read an essay by Ossie Davis in the book “Language in America” edited by Neil Postman, Charles Weingartner.and Terence P. Moran. In essence, Mr. Davis feels teachers must strive to reconstruct the English language in order to remove racism and prejudice from our society. When Europeans left the old country to find a better life free from injustice and prejudices, they should have left those adjectives that will taint any young mind, consciously or unconsciously. Black or White. Let’s look at some of the definitions Webster lists for Black: very dark; soiled, dirty; wicked; expressive of condemnation or discredit; invoking the supernatural and especially the devil; gloomy, calamitous; sullen, hostile; and characterized by the absence of light. It could almost make you ashamed of speaking English. On the other hand, Webster lists White as: free from spot or blemish; free from moral impurity; innocent; not intended to cause harm; favorable, fortunate; notably ardent, passionate; and conservative or reactionary in political outlook and action. After being greatly annoyed by these definitions, 1 turned to Roget’s Thesaurus of Words and Phrases to see what he had to say for “Negro”. There 1 found listed as a synonym for Negro the word “servant”. My first impulse was to throw both books in the trash, but before doing so I looked up the work “racism”. And 1 must say, Mr. Webster knew the English language very well, but he knew himself better. Os racism he says, “a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.” Needless to sav 1 did not throw the books away. I did learn something; how to spell racist w-e-b-s-t-e-r Washington, and he was a candiate for lieutenant governor in that state in 1968. Fletcher was appointed Assistant Secretary of Labor in 1969 and was appointed an ( alternate delegate to the United Nations in 1971. At the time, RNC Chairman Bush was U.S. Permanent Representative to the UN. ‘ Following his service at the UN. Fletcher was executive Director of the United Negro College Fund and during his tenure there raised SI 1.2 million dollars for predominently Negro colleges. Fletcher currently owns and operates an employment standards consulting firm, Arthur A. Fletcher and Associates. BENNETT GAS COMPANY 1829 Gordon Highway air condition HEATING APPLIANCES PROPANE.

State Rep. Julian Bond told the National Democratic Commission On Delegate Selection and Party Structure that Black voters were “less interested in labels than performance.” “We will increasingly be guided by the old maxim: “We have no permanent friends, no permanent enemies, only permanent interests,” Bond said. Also appearing was U.S. Representative Andrew Young (D-Ga) who defended the guidelines, saying “The spirit of the reforms must be maintained”. Young said that the McGovern-Fraser guidelines, adopted by the party after the 1968 convention, had increased Black participation at national conventions from 5% in 1968 to 15% in 1972. Rep. Bond noted that Black voters have been “almost slavishly loyal” to the Democratic Party, giving Lyndon Johnson 98% of the Black vote in 1964, Hubert Humphrey 96% in 1968, and George McGovern 93% in 1972. He noted, however, that a recent survey showed Black allegiance to the Democratic Party down 16 points, and predicted further Black defections if the guidelines are abandoned or weakened. The only Black testifying against continuation of the ‘72 rules which bought record numbers of Blacks to the Miami Convention was James Moore, an official of the A. Philip Randolph Institute. Moore said the guidelines were “quotas” which were “insulting” to Blacks, because they imply' that Blacks can’t compete in the political arena and need special protection.
