Berreras Warns Os Revolution By Maurice Booker Last week, Charles Berreras, Executive Director of OEO, blamed local and national government leaders for the continued existence of prejudice and warned of revolution if something isn’t done to correct the situation. Berreras was addressing the first Mini-Conference of the Student Georgia association of Educators from the Southeastern Coastal Region. The conference which was jointly hosted by Augusta College and Paine College. The Conference held at the Paine campus attended by student representatives from Savannah, Brunswick, Mount Vernon, Statesboro, Atlanta and Augusta. Berreras told the students that the main reason this country is in the prejudice situation it’s in is because of the government. “Unless the government starts doing something about the situation there is going to be a revolution in this country.” “We don’t stress our similarities too much. We stress our differences,” said Berreras. “When something bad happens, we tend to blame it on something else.” In reference to how local officials handle the situation, Berreras quoted Roy Rollins, Superintendent of Richmond County Board of Education, as saying, “we do not want to bus our little white children into the Black ghetto. There is crime, murders, rape, dope, sex, and everything else down there.” Forget Back to Africa Idea Talk about going back to Africa is not going to solve the black, man’s problems in America, Rep. Shirley Chisholm told a group Os A&T State University students here. The only black woman in Congress told the students: “Your forefathers and my forefathers gave a great deal to this country, and we intend to stay here and get our share. Nobody is going to prescribe a place, to put the colored problem.” Rep. Chisholm addressed a special convocation of students in the Harrison Auditorium. In explaining why she decided to run for President of the U.S. she said: “This country is in a mess, and the situation calls for a new kind of leadership. We need to infuse new blood intd' the political mainstream. “I am running,” she added, “because black people have not had an input as <o who will be president of this country, and women have not had any input.” Mrs. Chisholm told the 1,000 students to begin working with coalitions to bring about change in the political system. “Some of you have been turned off by the system,” she added. “It is easy to destroy, to burn and to engage in destructive acts. These are not the answers. Black and white people are beginning to come together to shape the system up.” “I will not keep quiet about the injustices in America,” added Rep. Chisholm. Today its Angela Davis and tomorrow it’s you and me. We must do something about this quadruple injustice being meted out to blacks in this country.” “There will never be peace jnd harmony until whites begin practicing all of the cliches they have been talking about,” concluded Mrs. Chisholm. 1 € * Ml Ik CLfIH I rap ■■ • _ __ . ‘*4 Berreras addressing MINI Conference “Nevertheless, problems the ghettos have the rich have also, Berreras explained when saying “We all have faults, things that happen in the Black ghetto are happening on the Hill (area above the Bon Air Hotel) also.” Due to Nixon’s actions, HEW claims that Richrrwd County Education System W absolutely sound which means nothing, Berreras said. “Our school system does not prepare us for a job after high school graduation,” Berreras continued. He further explained that there was not one student in the audience ■who could have taken care of themselves after high school graduation. Berreras said that America is afraid of socialism, although there has been socialism in this country since. 1935. “The only people who have freedom of choice in this country are white people. It is a myth that all people have Brown Presents Gold Record James Brown, who has over thirty gold records to his own credit, turned the tables recently in Memphis when he presented THE DRAMATICS, gold record awards for their smash hit, “WHAT’CHA SEE IS WHAT YOU GET’. Accepting the awards along with the group on stage at Memphis’ Mid-South Coliseum was the quintet’s manager Eli Fontaine. The Dramatics were in Memphis as part of The James Brown Show, on which they have been a featured attraction for two months. Almost as soon as the record hit the charts Brown saw their potential and added them to his touring package. With the Brown show, the group has appeared in California, Washington, D.C., Pittsburgh, Detroit as well as most large cities in the Southern states. Brown’s November tour concludes Thanksgiving week with a Thursday night concert at Detroit’s Cobo Hall and three days at the Acquarius Theatre in Boston. The Christmas holidays also indicate a lucrative schedule with one-nighters scheduled for Washington’s Armory, Baltimore’s Civic Center and the fabulous new Scope multi-facility in Norfolk, Virginia. Also featured on Brown’s concert package are Bobby Byrd, Brownstone recording artist, Lyn Collins and the Soul Twins, comedian Clay Tyson and the J.B.’s Blues Band. LAMAR'S BARBER SHOP LOOK SHARP.

The myth which everybody is focusing on now is the anti-bus myth; everybody is against busing, but nobody wants to admit the truth.” The theme of the Conference was “Your role: To Improve Human Relations in the School Community. YOUNG Cont’d From P-1 only reason we are being robbed is because we’re not in politics.” Blacks, Young said, are the only people in this country not on welfare. The airlines, banks, insurance companies, oil companies are all on Welfare. He said, “They take your social security deposits and give them to somebody else to make money on. And then they loan you your money back and make you pay interests on your money. Young described politics as everybody putting ■some money in a pot. “And politics is who decides how to divide up the money. And if you’re not in politics, then you’re not around when the money is being divided.” “The sooner we realize,” Young continued, “that everything we live and breathe comes to us through politics—and get into it (politics), the sooner we will find our way to the benefits of this land.” Young' cited Frederick Douglas’ statement that “the struggle for freedom is the struggle to save black men’s bodies and white men’s souls.” “We will save our bodies,” Young added “but we’ll also save America’s soul in the process.” Turning to economics, Young said, “There is no company in America that can do business without black support.” “A community has to find a way to disapline its buying power.” He proposed a “black Christmas” where Blacks give nothing but food and medicine and buy that from black folk, as a means drawing attention to black problems. “Blacks must bring a new dimension to this nation” Young said, “ that dimension comes out of our faith. It comes out of our soul.” Young said that in the near future the people who will make the decisions in the county courthouse, the people who develop a good school system that educates children, they are going to be black. “Anywhere you see good things going on ... there will be Black folk taking charge and white folk who learned to think black and be black, and we will have the kind of community where people live together and love one another. And where one man doesn’t have to break down on another in order to survive, but we’ll all know that we are children of the same father.” Fryer - Larke & Miss Edith Lejune Fryer Mr. and Mrs. Johnny W.
