BUSINESS WOMEN SHOW SOLIDARITY WITH
BLACK COLLEGES - A contribution from the 50
chapters of the National Association of Negro
Business antb Professional Women’s Clubs, Inc. was
presented to the United Negro College Fund during
the Women’s organization’s national convention in
Washington, D.C. Pictured above, at a special
PUSH Enters Negotiations
With Coco Cola
The Rev. B.W. Smith,
chairman of the board of
Operation PUSH Bad
dalo(
E(AND CHAIRMAN OF
PUSH’S Selective
Patronage Council,
declared this week that
the soft drink industry
would be the first area of
focus in a new round of
economic negotiations.
A National Council
negotiating team
responded Tuesday by
meeting with officials
from iCoca-Cola, an
Atlanta-based company.
The Rev. Smith said,
“We must renegotiate a
relationship between
black Americans-a
Third World nation with
the United States-and
the private economic
sector where five of
every six jobs are
located. We are seeking
reciprocity -- our fair
share. Our goal is equity
and par ty.”
Joined' by other
ministers and con
sumers representing the
top fifty areas in
America where black
Americans live, vote and
consume, the Rev.
Claude Wyatt, Chicago
Chairman of the Slective
Patronage Council,
contended, “just ad the
Black community must
use its 17 million votes to
protect its interests in
the public sector, we
now must use our $125
billion in consumer
purchasing power to
protect our interests in
the private sector.”
Stressing that this
was the first meeting
with Coke officials and
was a preliminary fact
finding session, the
neogitating team
nevertheless discovered
that the Coca-Cola
Company does not have
a single black person on
its board of directors;
that of nearly 500 bot
tling franchises, not one
is black; and that of
nearly 4000 wholesale
distributorships, not one
is black.

The Council also
indicated that blacks are
about 14 percent of the
Coca Cola Company’s
total domestic business
and that black per capita
consumption of Coca-
Cola is three times that
of white.
The National
Council’s research
indicated that although
Coca-Cola is one of the
world’s largest ad
vertisers, spending $343
million in 1979, less than
one-half of one percerit
of that amount is spent
with black advertising
firms, and only recently
has Coca-Cola begun to
advertise in black
newspapers and
magazines and on black
radio stations.
The Council also
indicated that Coca-Cola
does not do the amount
of business with black
banks, savings and loans
and insurance com
panies or u use out-of
house professional
services (e.g., doctors,
lawyers and ac
countants) that the large
investment of black
consumer dollars in
Coca-Cola would call
for. Although
preliminary evidence
gathered by the Council
indicated that Coca-
Cola’s company-wide
employment figures
may compare favorably
with those of other in
dustries, there is not a
single black person in
the upper echelons of the
corporation.
When asked by Coca-
Cola how the PUSH
Council proposed for
Coke to secure blacks as
owners of bottler
franchises and as
wholesale distributors,
the Rev. Jesse Jackson
said, “When major
white businesses do
business with Third
World developing
nations, they use a
‘Third World Formula.’
