Baptist leader criticizes
Black Caucus ‘nation’ plan
MIAMI BEACH—A Congression
al Black Caucus plan for the fuller
development of the black race in the
U.S. as an answer to blacks’ many
problems, has been severely criticized
by the president of the National Bap
tist Convention, U.S.A., the nation’s
largest organization of blacks.
Dr. Joseph H. Jackson told
delegates to the 6.3 million member
group’s 102nd annual session this
month that the Caucus’ program for
a “black nation” in America was
potentially harmful to the race’s
aspirations and goals because it seems
to suggest that blacks disengage
themselves from the total community
and think and act in terms of being a
part of their own nation.
Dr. Jackson, pastor of Chicago’s
Olivet Baptist Church, pointed out
that the plan, announced last
November, does have a basic strength
in that it goes far beyond vocal and
other methods of protest by em
phasizing sacrifice and planning for
racial growth and economic and
cultural achievement.
It stresses self-help and effective
use of black resources and potential,
and highlights the importance of per
sonal sacrifices, supreme efforts by
all, and self-giving. However, he ad
ded, the plan has several glaring
weaknesses.
The positive gains by blacks to date
have been realized in the context of
American culture and life, he said.
“We are not a black nation as such
but a community of people with some
opportunities to reap some benefits
from the American democratic
process.
We are a vital part of America
despite forces that would eliminate
us. The work and accomplishments
so far by so many would be greatly
weakened —or eliminated —by
surrendering our historic relationship
with the nation and resigning from
the struggle and from the

The economic aspect of the plan is
too heavy and exacting to launch
without i vital and working relation
ship with the rest of the nation, he
continued. The federal Constitution
offers the overall power to gain
higher goals and benefits and to make
both the nation and race stronger.
The work of civil rights groups and
the negro church would be greatly
restricted and weakened if the
mission and message to all peoples
and the world became the message of
“blacks for blacks.”
Should that be the case, black
young people could mistakenly
assume that they have little or no
future in the U.S., and would grow in
a negative atomsphere with a negativ
e philosophy which would hinder
them in winning for themselves and
the nation an accepted standard of
first class citizenship for all
Americans. “We must not make the
mistake of becoming supporters and
defenders of entrenched
segregationists who say: ‘They prefer
to be by themselves—they’d rather be
segregated than integrated,’ ”
Jackson said.

conferences recently held in

“An economic plan to benefit
blacks must be broader than the cash
holdings of blacks and must be an
chored in the wealth and entire
economic structure of the nation,” he
declared. “Why not risk our money
where the pools of dollars are greater
and where small investments can reap
growing benefits?”
Dr. Jackson urged the Caucus to
“not only think black, but to think in
black and white. They must see...all
shades of color in this American pic
ture; they must never drift away from
the politics of cooperation.
“The separation between groups
must be minimized in our present and
future political struggles in particular
and in American culture in general,”
he continued.
“The gulf between the races, dif
ferent classes and groups must be
bridged and young people must be
taught that their destiny in American
politics and culture will not be deter
mined by their blackness but by the
brilliance of their minds as well as by
the brightness and power of their in
tegrity.”
The Baptist leader also called for a
new partnership between
management and labot in order to
stimulate economic growth.
“Management and labor both suffer
great losses when either group strikes
against the other, resulting in a
severly damaged community,” he
said. “In addition to adding new
tools of production, we must also add
new motives and new desires within
people that will lead or teach them
how to save the values already
achieved and to create others for the
growth of society.”
The National Baptist Convention,
U.S.A., consists of 30,000 churches
with more than 6 million members,
organized in state conventions
throughout the U.S. Dr. Jackson has
been pastor of Olivet Baptist Church
since 1941 and president of the Con
