The Augusta News-Review - October 18, 1973 pom The 1 | Block To The Hill , By R.L. Oliver Sh, ssh, sssh, I don’t know for sure but I think a certain Sth ward city councilman wants to keep this secret. He was seen leaving the Augusta News-Review office with 20 copies of our Oct. 4th issue. But he insisted that they be wrapped up! Wonder why? Leroy H. Simkins Jr., chairman of the 10th District Republican party said of Sprio Agnew’s resignation, “This is a Black day for the country and the Republican Party and more tragically, for the cause of conservation.” Correction chairman. “That was a white day for Agnew, the crook; the country, the Republican Party and Conservatism.” We “Blacks” had nothing to do with it. Watergate in Washington, extortion in Baltimore is all white mess. Hello’s and Hi’s to Delores Miles, Leona Williams, Thomas Donahue, 1102 Kent St., Charlie and Effie Dolphus on Grand Blvd., John L.

Well Augusta has made national news again. Nope, its not the Masters this time. It’s the shame of letting the nation know how the Richmond County ignored former POW Sgt. Ernest Tabbs return from Vietnamese war camps. This along with the 1970 riots, our high ranking in crime, and veneral disease should work miracles for new industry. It is with great pleasure I thank John Barnes for his article “Blacks” inopportunity “Hogwash”. That was a mighty fine article that companies such as Pilgrim Health and Life have provided opportunities for 400 Blacks. Now, if we only had enough Pilgrims, that would also eliminate local welfare, medicare, unemployment, crime increase, drug traffic and usage, faulty credit, food stamps, local poverty, etc. I agree with you, “Hogwash!” advertising pays! lAI J.

ESI Joseph Wilson Blackwell and Doris Evelyn Blackwell have filed suit here in U.S. District Court against the Augusta City Council, Civil Service Commission, two police officers, B.T. Jones and J.R. Sprott, and Chief James Beck for $960,000 in connection with the death of their son, Marion Haines Blackwell. The suit charges the defendants with gross negligence in connection with Division Among Ourselves One doesn’t hear much these days about race relations. It appears as though the polarization of racial groups have reached a point where it is distinctly unpopular to talk about integration, at least in some circles. There are many reasons why this is so. Some are obvious but many more of them are subtle, all of them are complex. One of the reasons for group pressure against the advocacy of integration is the feeling among some Blacks that efforts to integrate our society is demeaning to Blacks, it is easy to understand why many Blacks take this point of view as we continue to see white flight to suburbia when a Black family moves into the neighborhood, or massive white efforts to obstruct or prevent racial integration of public schools, or the continued discrimination against Blacks in employment and advancement opportunities. Yes, it’s easy to understand the pain, resentment, and perhaps the hatred, and a new approach which advocates separation versus integration. I, like many of you, have heard many heated arguments as to “who was right-Martin Luther King or Malcolm X”, usually with the older persons of the group favoring Martin Luther King, and the yoUnger persons vociferously exclaiming Malcolm X is the only one who made any sense. It appeared to me that both groups were attempting to simplify an extremely complex situation and had not truly understood the essence of what both of these great men were advocating. Both men were militant in their unrelenting efforts to help their people. Both were concerned over white racism and its destructive role in our society. The legacy of both men provide light and direction that we may find our path in a dark world. There is no question that Black people should come together, organize, develop agendas for growth, development, self-reliance, etc. This is not negative and anti-white. Rather, it is positivie and neutral white. It is equally true that Blacks should coalesce with other racial groups with similar problems, notably the BENNETT GAS COMPANY 1829 Gordon Hlyiwy AIR CONDITION HEATING APPLIANCES PROPANE GAS RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL lpgas TANKS,.SALE OR LEASE r > Free Estimates - Financing . GagAv.H— --_ Phom 738-7782- their son’s death after he was found strangled in a cell at the city stockade. Marion Haines Blackwell reportedly left a movie on Broad St. and was stopped by tile police and charged with a late hours violation, then placed in a cell in the stockade with another person, (unidentified as of yet) He was found dead two hours later apparently strangled with his own shirt. Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, Indians and Asians, not to promote and/or strengthen racial hatred, but to find the means toward prosperity in spite of racial hatred, and here is the nut of the matter. Nothing 1 have written thus far can be construed to mean that efforts to improve race relations are passe’. Nothing 1 have written should be construed to mean that I am opposed to integration. My ultimate hope is that all human beings will one day come to veiw each other as brothers and sisters, and that if polarization exists, let it be between the selfish and the selfless, the oppressors and the freedom fighters. However, 1 realize that the rate by which we free ourselves from the shackles of racism and move into the hopefully growing circle of men and women who are supporters of humankind, will depend on our individual and group experiences plus our faith in our fellowmen and women. There is a major difference between one who is proud of his race and one who is a racist. My fear is that many people, both Black and white, get the two confused and think of them as one. The Black people of this nation know more than anyone else the extreme destructiveness of racism. .We can ill afford to drink of the poison while attempting to eradicate it from society.
