1. Beyond my public school education, in the business world,
I have served both as employee and employer, also in
Government service and Christian services; I have been selected as
a leader in all these fields. To accomplish the needs of our
community we must work together as a team and against things
that are not good. I hope to be elected to a part of this team!
2. 1) The expansion of our city limits is a must. I have sound
and definite plans for this proposal. 2) A general clean up of our
city, and many other improvements in its appearance. I am a part
of Augusta and proud of this! Although I am not satisfied with
many of our programs, I know to criticize others is wrong, unless
you can promote a better solution. I feel I am capable of this. 3) I
would work to encourage new industry and expansion of present
industry so our citizens may have full employment. Work for and
with State and Federal agencies for the full development of the
Savannah River for transportation and shipping purposes. This is
very important to industry. * Finances - I would not be in favor
of the burden of increased taxes on our citizens at this time
without first examining departments where there may be
over-expenditures or unnecessary spending. I am a person of great
faith and when our people see the honest need and proper
handling so the tax dollar this financial problem will be solved.

BLACK CATHOLICS APPEAL TO POPE
A high ranking group of Black Roman Catholics -a priest, a
nun, and three lay persons - flew to Rome on Sunday morning to
describe to the Pope their feelings of race prejudice within the
American Catholic church, according to the weekend editions of
both the N.Y. TIMES and N.Y. POST.
Rev. Father Lawrence E. Lucas, pastor of Harlem’s Church of
the Resurrection, and president of the National Black Catholic
Clergy Caucus, heads the deletion which also includes: Sister
Martin dePorres Grey, president of the National Conference of
Black Sisters; Joseph Dulin, president of the National Black Lay
Catholic Caucus; Charles Hammock, executive director of the lay
group and Estelle Collins of the Baltimore Black Catholic Caucus.
The delegation said that they would urge the Holy Father to:
name a Black priest as Archbishop of Washington, D.C. (to
replace the recently resigned Patrick Cardinal O’Boyle as that city
is over seventy per cent colored); allow American Blacks to
pursue their culture within the framework of the church just as
the Irish, Italians and Polish Catholics, and to do every possible
thing to remove racism within the church. Both at the Saturday
press conference and in public appearances on network television
over the past two years members of this group loudly complained
that the American hierachy had long treated their Black brothers
in a dishonest, racist and superficial way.
Father Lawrence said that there were 800,000 Black Catholics
in the United States out of a total Catholic population of 48
million, only 160 Black priests out of a total of 57,000 and only
one auxiliary (assistant) bishop out of over 300 American
bishops. The delegation asked that all people of good will pray
for the success of their mission to Rome, noting its importance to
the church in America. Eleven o’clock on Sunday morning has
been called the most segregated hour in America in both its
Protestant and Catholic churches.
AMERICAN EXPRESS FIGHTS SICKLE CELL
The current edition of EBONY magazine has a feature story on
Sickle Cell disease and points to the fact that one out of ten
Black Americans carries it. This illness is inherited and has no
known cure. The American Express Company, one of the giants
in international business, is lending a special hand in a major fight
against this disease. Please check both the EBONY story on this
dread disease and the American Express ad which backs up its
fight through donations from the purchase price of its money
orders. A Foundation for Research and Education in Sickle Cell
Disease has been organized in New York City. Big baseball
homerun hitter Willie Stargell has organized Black athletes into a
foundation to help fight this disease. Nationally famous public
relations expert Dick Campbell heads the New York foundation.
ABOUT AUGUSTANS AROUND THE NATION
My condolences to Mrs. Adelaide Walker Jacquet, Mrs. Grace
Walker Ramsey, W. Jay Walker, Jr. and their families on the loss
of their dad in St. Albans, Long Island, New York several weeks
ago. The Walkers are old Augustans and Mr. “Bud” as he was
affectionally known was one of our pioneer citizens and a
long-time member of the Postal Service here in Augusta...-He was
a fine Christian gentleman and man of high principle...! was
happy to see him and his family at our first Augusta-Aiken
Reunion in July of 1970... He greatly enjoyed meeting old friends
and speaking to the group... Those of us who live in the Greater
New York area are treated each day to a special sports broadcast
' presented by former Augustan Emerson Boozer. As you know
* this young man is a star running back for the New York football
Jets who conducts his daily sports program over Soul Station
WLIB in Harlem.... Right On Brother Boozer!
UNFAIR TREATMENT FOR LUCY LANEY SCHOOL
Word has just reached me about some plans which the
Richmond County Board of Education is putting into effect at
Lucy Laney High School. If the Augusta Black Community does
not put up a good and solid fight, much of out great heritage will
be lost. As a former Haines student, my support goes with its
alumni! But please don’t give up.

(BLACK MILITANT INMATES AT ATTICA, LIKE ALL
REVOLUTIONARIES IN AMERICA ARE TACTICAL STUPIDS
IN TRYING TO DESTROY THE SYSTEM WITH TOUGH
RHETORIC AND SENSELESS HATE.)
The Attica infamy is only the prison’s version of the racial
confrontation of all America. This racial attitude is projected in
every part of the world where white Americans preside. They
spread their hatred for black Americans in Japan, Korea, and in
all military bases in Europe.
This entire condition boils down to the immutable fact that
America is prone to hold onto the detestable status quo where
Blacks are concern. It is a moral condition and the White Church
should have taken responsibility in eradicating this pathological
maleficence. Os course, its action is not surprising since the White
Church in 1660 gave its sanction to the institution of slavery.
Up to that time blacks, like poor whites, were indentured
servants. Until 1640 blacks owned land, voted and testihed in
court ; they held positions of authority and lived side by side with
whites.
Dr. Kenneth M. Stampp, a noted historian of early America,
put it this way, “Black and White indentured servants of the 17th
centuty seemed to be remarkablly unconcerned about visible
physical differences. They toiled together in the fields and
fraternized during leisure hours. In the years between 1660-1680,
cotton and tobacco plantations needed a larger labor force. Right
here the White Church could have asserted its moral influence in
the young nation, but it chose the path of least resistence; and it
is reaping the whirl-winds of irrelevancy until the present day.
There was the possibility of enslaving the Indians, which would
have been just as bad; for no group has a moral right to force
another group into involuntary servitude. The Indians would not
have made good slaves, because they were weak and sickly; and
knowing the country-side so well made it easy for them to run
away.
(BLOODY MONDAY AT ATTICA GAVE MANY BLOOD
THIRSTY LAWMEN MOMENTS OF SADISTIC GLEE)
It has always been suspect in the black community that the
National Guard and most big city police forces were loaded with
black-hating elements. So a good deal of that hatred was brought
to the surface, by the truesome stories that were gleefully told by
National Guardsmen after the Attica massacre.
The excerpts below are from authentic sources of leading
national magazines and newspapers: “A National Guardsman told
a Federal District Court in Buffalo after the battle that prison
guards forced the more militant blacks to run a gantlet naked.”
He said that, “guards beat black inmates with clubs jabbing them
in their genitals.”
Another prisoner guard was heard to make this statement:
“There’s a stigma attached to us here at Attica, because we blew
off some niggers’ heads, to be perfectly blunt about it. If I had
my way I wouldn’t hesitate to kill a nigger, even if he only
stepped on the flowers in my yard.”
Reporters and citizens-committee members heard a trooper
yell when a black newsman was about to photograph a
helicopter: Hey are you going to let that nigger take your
picture?
This is only a sampling of the deep racist attitudes of the
type of men who are supposed to be custodians of the law.
This shameful rhetoric and action of the hate-filled whites that
was in charge at Attica prompted the editors of Newsweek to
make this pertinent statement: “It is often a reflection of the
worst aspects of this society- bureaucratic callousness, racism and
violence. There has always been a bias in law enforcement against
blacks and today they take a highly ideological view of their
incarceration.”
“Black Muslims, Black Panthers, Young Lords, activist
Chicanos are working in the prisons, where inmates are eager for
prideful identification with outside groups.”
