Churchmen and the Black Press
in the early planning as well as
the issuing of the conference
call.
“The Black masses are
increasingly suspicious of the
middle class chauvinism of the
Urban League, the NAACP and
the Congressional Black
Caucus. If this conference is
not to be a replay of previous
orgies of conversation, the
Black worker, the Black poor,
the Black churchmen and the
Black Press must have a full
peer relationship with oldline
national organizations which
merely talk about economic
racism, but have rarely or never
mobilized Black political
power or Black economic
power to combat institutional

conversation and partitioning
alone could win, the struggle
against economic racism would
have ended eons ago.

Willie Mays Running
Against B.L. Dent
&
WILLIAM 11. MAYS 111
William H. Mays 111 qualified
Monday to run against
incumbent B.L. Dent, city
councilman from the second
ward. Mays is the son of
Second Ward City
Councilwoman Carrie J. Mays.
The city council election
will be held Oct. 9. Mays said
that Dent’s representation has
been “inadequate” for the
community. “He has been
there for nine years, and if you
asked the man-on-the-street
what can they really point to
that is significant that Mr. Dent
has done, or even tried to do,
the answer will be ‘nothing’.”
On controversial issues, Mr.
Dent has sidestepped the
public. He has refused to take a
stand one way or the other,
and has not really let his
constituents know how he felt.
Mays, known as “Willie”,
recognizes that Dent will be
hard to beat. A local furniture
store owner and operator. Dent
was the first Black elected to
public office in Georgia since
reconstruction when he won a
seat on Augusta City Council
with them.
"The Black Press will not
participate in any Black
economic survival conference
without the full participation
of Black Labor, the Black
poor, the businessman and the
Black churchmen as conveners.
For 147 years since Freedom’s
Journal’s founding, the Black
Press has fought racism, and we
shall not hesitate in this hour
of Black crisis to fight national
Black organizational elitism.”

in 1964.
“Any time a new comer is
running against an incumbent,
and Dent is a three-term
incumbent, I guess that will
make it three times as hard.
But I think that if his
ineffectiveness is really
examined, it will be to my
advantage.”

School and Augusta College
and was an honor graduate of
the Gupton Jones School of
