Black Journal; 4

the national educational television it's been the pay to play he's been living like before last month like jewels of prides itself on making president lies on august fifteenth eleven black members of the production staff walked out over the issue of black control of the black joe program and at home the brothers and sisters of got together and tighten things up a bit like executive producers been higher now black jurors four of and by black people and that's where it's really an

iced the press this month cover the chicago democratic convention in its sixty eight ticket during the convention story as michael reporter brother claude louis do american political conventions held as much significance for the black voters in nineteen sixty eight democratic affair in chicago the lessons learned there were plentiful political and pointed announcing the democratic party in large measure upheld its nineteen sixty four ruling that state delegations based on bigotry would not be seated at the gop which held its convention in miami beach last month's failed to recognize a jew aspirations of the black man although unappealing rhetoric was present a scant black representation made a stronger point neither major party do thus far seems to fully understand that the black voters gained a high degree of political savvy and it has begun to appreciate his political power without doubt in order will be one of the key issues in the nineteen sixty eight presidential contest but republicans talked about lorne order they never talked about justice and vice

president hubert humphrey his acceptance speech he was quick to point out that the need for justice was as great as a need for her but even the hike he plotted to the vice president failed to injury chicago's black community which was conspicuous by its absence plus an outside the convention so far as blacks as concerned as perhaps greater significance than what happened on the convention floor itself the fact that police could be sane brutalizing white huge lends a kind of credibility to the ghettos longstanding complaint of police brutality the hospital was in chicago for two days by policemen ban on quote lore and war unquote sometimes the cure can be worse than the disease was chicago police attempted to curb the activities of the hippies and hippies outside the convention the third national black power conference was taking place in philadelphia pennsylvania helping to shape that conference was dr nathan right a key figure in the concept of blacktop but the right is in our studio today and has consented to discuss the convention and events that went on in philadelphia

last week dr einhorn if you could to describe for me you compare because the relationship between the democratic and republican conventions well our i was president the republican national convention which some people refer to as the miami beach surfers incorporated author it was very much like a stage production are but neither of the two conventions dealt with the most basic need for it needs in our society today and that is of the need for all all for all of our people ought to have a lot to share an equitable power relations and for us to mobilize our nation's resources so that the fullest potential of every person or is are unleashed for the benefit of our society is all and our world what are the convention in general think about the democrat's performance in chicago all the national league though they will actually international conference on black power all

i think that the mood of that particular convention all our conference all was that in the political alternatives offered a while those two conventions were not worthy even of thoughtful white america are let alone of the basic needs of our black people and certainly are some new alternatives all have been recommended on the two are to vote for all three oh so fourth party candidate or all the black men or two in the help of two all get underway what might possibly be the most massive campaign of active mom participation in the history of this nation well before you met in philadelphia did you were considered a buddy consider the supporting humphrey or nixon and it was never discussed i

never heard a discussion when discussed in our own meetings nothing is that it is but intriguing to me that apparently mr pomfret has all the support that he wants he's been asking are people whom some a black people referred to as negroes with a small hand on to advise him not think the business of a black people trying to be carbon copies of white people as worn out of old style these days and he's getting into the same kind of difficulty unfortunately that was jim johnson has got himself into in terms of asking un self aware black people who were not in keeping at all or oblast of the new mood of growling all black self awareness all else all the remark abreast of the mood all of seeking after equity rather inequality and seeking after powerful self determination these kinds of things are beyond the mindset of any so liberal and not democratic party has offered a single liberal kind of philosophy of

which mr humphrey is the leading exponent of speaking from a platform of black power what you think a black man in america in nineteen sixty eight you'd do the vote should ebola also to not go to one of your decision at this point calls come from here in terms of space a specific all all approach but offered several tweeters all i think that gus was a national elections concerned are concerned that i will not only not vote all of which is a great way of dissipating politically but will encourage both white and black people not to take part in ludicrous alternatives will to offer a kind of ridiculous assumption supposed to urge millions of people not to vote and i listened and i don't have i'm an android was caught and would you feel somewhat responsible for them ah i would feel responsible in one sense i'm not a minority family just before we say that's the most important thing they're the time it

is for people to be dealt with seriously and the message would be clearly gotten over ah that if black people are going to be dealt with and all they must be dealt with seriously and it's far more important for this message to be gotten across once and for all all that is we're in a particular candidate ought to win and do what the president over the next four years what specific resolutions were adopted at the blackhawk will only say this that war in a specific resolutions in the normal sense of dr the black power conference the recommendations that will be enforced at the local level and as people will all they are all of the recommendations that came out of our workshops and they may seem to be conflicted we're rocking were abducted in the sense that black people want to work for operational harmony which is the most important thing for black people to be together in terms of their basic purpose of seeking equity for all and fulfill

not only for black people once and only for the nation in the world and this is the thing that's ich really important when you think about the economic aspects of black power or certainly lead most basic thing that needs to be done economically and it came out very clearly the black hat conference is a black people to control completely the economic resources all their communities and what needs to be done is for the federal government to a far less costs then some of the calls the program's announcer in a far less costly than repression off to facilitate the buying out are all of the economic resources of our all black communities so that black people may purchase leads and control on and off until black people control all of the immediacy this online environment we're not going to have pieced this country needs to be banned are not only

in economics but in education and so many hilarious and the interesting thing is that the white people who were in the country club set are speaking basically the us same kind of language as the people in the ghetto all are speaking on in terms of self determination freedom self sufficiency all local control this kind of thing that is consistent with all the conservative view of what america are ideally must be is that black men are financially in education compared to operate the stores and shops in his own communities is a question we're quite often you are black gold black people are all intellectually prepared to do anything off nfl black people believed to be facilitated why people been robin legislation people but everyone knows that is very evenly mild presidential panel on civil disorder was this clearly suggests that everything that any white man has in the united states he has gotten that in some

degree by the denial of opportunities the city louis black people the black people can control all what needs to be done is for black people to have as much help from the federal government and other people get from the federal government for being with us in our studios today to discuss these important issues lulu in the last four years fifty nine cooperatives have sprung up in eleven southern states fifty seven of them are black the catalysts of this movement is a catholic priest father albert like my nineteen sixty four filed the first of these walkers southern consumers in lafayette louisiana today southern consumers has two thousand members owns greek businesses and is the motivating force behind a sweet potato board that would report on the problems of progressives southern

consumers this father mcbride the thing that struck me when i first came to louisiana and that might force for is strictly in to record church work off was how it relevant all much of my preaching was when trying to preach to people who were hungry trying to get christian morality to a family of twelve living in a two room house and i say that the there's a close association between taking care of the needs of the body in a ministering to the spiritual needs of it go home here's a fishing town that for most of the people on their livelihood and if there's not one person who owns the boat and are we discuss the possibility of getting loans from the thomas ullmann estrogen for that reliable they finally granted belong to a group of three unless you happen to be of one in which we were hoping to get the border the beginning of the season but we'll let alone didn't come through to

actually at the end of the season at ripon that you have to start with the people fall the deal with the problems that they consider very good and then that way you can get them involved there was an idea that we thought of what today is called southern cooperatives revive numbers people who wanted to become members would have to pay five dollars entrance fee then they would sign a subscription contract whereby they would invest a minimum of three hundred dollars we got the idea of why not a statewide organization with people all over the state would be able to join and then from that money we could go into a variety of businesses last year reported every piece of property a couple blocks down in which we hope that bill on gasoline station and

that the report property this nation cain available and we decided that it would be good for its release the station for a couple years and see whether we could really draw the patronage of that would make it worthwhile for that alone it's very few people realize the psychological damage that has been done in a black man because of racism in this country and we find black businesses is very difficult black customers because of the psychological damage at all to many black people think that the white man gas has never been a black man but as a white man's life is colder than the what black man's eyes and it's an educational process that we have to go through trying to educate the people who patronize their own businesses or they create there with two producer quality fruitcake and was at the time we had stumbled guidelines we knew that we had a little business experience little management know all we

had then have too much capital and we wandered off specialty item something that we could start small and had hopes of growing well this year we've made a breakthrough archie as a candy company out of new york and we received an order from them for ten thousand to kung fu cake which actually is more than our po production elaine to all the large orders like that with that will establish a sound foundation for so that we'll be able to relate to louisiana we have the highest rate of interest forty two percent off and it's the poor people are really happy that we got people together to talk about the problem and then they decided to start saving their money and the money that they say all they would bar at a

cheap rate of interest arise loan company he probably became realities sometimes in nineteen sixty four it's a setback that members that poor people can gain rate hedge fund the local lending operations due to low income most of the lines are for low income families and they haven't had any business experience before and most of them can quantify where else so usually it's used as a beast saw business training father of two so wildly border the ingenious each month every hundred dollars they bought they invest a bow he even he was in you know on the roads with grown

one of those nineteen sixty eight it has been appreciate

it why here they're selling home sign of anything out racially and safely within that have really amaze me in this whole self help activity is the hostility that was created and how people feel threatened or people start helping them so we've been accused of being communists we've had our motion passed in the state legislature to investigators we've been investigated by the state un american activity committee today hearing in lafayette all the da has raided our

office on fees though walks we had to go into federal court all we applied for temporary restraining order from the local federal judge but because of the local politics even want to come and all we had to go to the court of appeals where we did get a temporary restraining order off forcing him to hold a hearing and since then all the local politicians have i think gotten respect for us now and the harassment is undercover and not as open as it has been in a society really need of genuine social and economic changes of institutions the way people think and really changed the way that black man think about themselves better be changed the way the white in this camp change can only be brought about people dealing with the problem changing the roman coliseum and slowly working in the community lifting the assistance of other people

the feeling of racial pride is not new for many african americans of the resurgence of black awareness and pride black men and women face new problems not only in relation to white society but to each other in a black society recently there has been a stream of articles on the subject and the chicago daily defender america's largest black newspaper began a series some weeks ago on the emergence of the new black woman but a washington reporter for the paper survey the chicago scene to report on how black men and women really the revolution and racial pride will affect them and their families for the fulfillment of that effort fell off although years old maria as a reporter for the chicago daily defender and as a black woman married to a black man i became deeply aware of the fact that there's no black rebel on the

relationship between but the most prevailing in the most awful statements about what the new black men expect from the new black woman came when i met with a group of young married friends one friday afternoon well it is twice the size well why do you say you

know oh man you guys were we did do it to me you know

the only thing that you won't have all the americans as you say that you are on a treaty where we anticipate he say before these women the men are there that was the feeling of racial pride has come new conflicts and new problems across america they need to discuss what black awareness means to their families and to them as black women of today you know it's created about fifty years and now so

i'm told that we do i'm renee montagne i really like the trust valve ward performs the works of our black poets and dramatist for her black awareness is not revolutionary but the very foundation of her marriage rouse husband francis ward talks of the struggles of a black

family in the past and the obstacles that lie ahead but it's extremely important for black history in college to be transmitted from generation and generation and that's what most effective with this is always been done this without my acting as the primary you're a social organization i think one reason why it has not been what it was because of the destruction done to our family life so the subtler way has to be one function of the black man in the ring and to re emphasize and pick up the threat of american history and culture that has been left all generations ago bought sold into slavery on the family unit was destroyed part of the levy obligation is to make absolutely certain that whoever has any gun control and jurisdiction over your kid you know is not bringing him into conflict with

lieutenants on them and how was that last possible you go into us and comedy and any money anyway it's a name and then instead there were just i think it's that's especially that i did for the bulls kinds of books are these things that in the home complaining about him being invisible to this point i was absolutely certain of how the teacher is telling them then we may have done some level response will remember the last fool ourselves you know and do all these years senator has this amazing to my child to draw that last year run it at at a court you know we had to go to the school that they must be respected their peers in school and what we do we have that we're saying jackpot us that he carries a dozen states but they see us at this school knocking on the door you

happen to be in there easily to control their minds he is a lot of this isn't worth a lot of these into a grappling with a willing enabler the impression that we have the answer to everything they really don't have time to hate because you know that they will announce that they be blood and two of them in the franciscan hasn't indicated they love that we may do have to do certain things to protect nsa to protect that finally i asked francis about the standards of today's black man as compared with those of twenty years ago banas with website and projects it stands were that he had become successful according to a wait mode in a good idea but the car had moved to the suburbs he had a real good family at what curators and the delivery thing that the typical

american family were supposed to do and i don't think the black man a silly is it that that notion i think he sees a falsity and i think he sees he told the house here but i think he wants to really tightly knit family but not for the purposes of web site he says family for any chances of food fulfills enforcement we want to hear a great famine in order to have as children strong riordan his own image perhaps and can transmit most important transmitter guys which he is learning to his children and teachers to speak at that his children will transmit those same values to their children and you don't have the same transmission repeated from generations of a nation listen to his boss is ben

new york boston hartford new haven pauly university of fords and the privilege of tax exemption values of another color urban renewal which is administered for land to play but in a state of question and change even a portly university is being challenged example columbia university students joined forces of the black community of mourning side tries to protest the disruptions infringements on property suffered by the black community at the hands of the university it's been officer howard mitchell is on the leading experts on urban affairs and he teaches at the university of pennsylvania my journal asked professor mitchell of utah most universities were concerned with the people and the communities they are displaced i know of no example of the universe that has

really set a precedent yet entering into the kind of dialogue that it would reflect a rail collaborative kind of relationship i think our youth in our universities and has as most lately was demonstrated by some students at columbia and the whole situation is more inside it are saying that as representatives of the university and i had no one else takes leadership administrative faculty level they are going to be the conscience of the institution and reminded hit for that and then of course a lot of other reasons in on the situation that it is an evolving as that universities cannot act in this way with the community as they have in the past in philadelphia fifty thousand people mostly black or being uprooted and displaced families and friends broke up neighborhoods which once lived an outpost fans is always home strawberry know multinational so she and her neighbors repair their homes of the homes of

my ass i like my health even if it is the best pass is you see people saying i identify with my friends and they're still live at the very least he has something that her party will be living with people they i think that is the charge of genocide or evil genocide against black people by white hawk shot in america you know in that they're using all kinds of ways to diminish the black people in america now the situation right now we have to realize that in a vacuum russell university and temple university in the insurance and mortgage companies that were of education case and the domain of the raccoons would accompany the chamber of commerce real estate people and now

houses are developing a collision for the politically socialization black people too this is an opposition to the unification unity of people there was a raft forced us into the reservations process isn't on the indian people it means we will no longer have a lot of our listeners called for activists and that was you know that he was suffering from the same kinds of problems than other cities i'm too many remarks that are made by these black people may seem extreme but they are supported by statistics from a survey made in philadelphia for the us to pennsylvania displaced families except when serb an eviction notice neither have they received moving expenses to which by law they were entitled thirty percent receive moving expenses but received no help for the relocation

of financing to which they were also once thirty percent of people and cnn interviewed by urban renewal officials and relocated by the city and were forced to relocate on their wrongs only twenty percent receive help and all of the benefits to which they are entitled on the base of this information by joe on to chicago to talk a professor julia levy one of the leading pioneers of interest to chicago's massive expansion progress nelly expansion which your skis take in urban centers very often is accompanied by the criminal process because universities are sorted and because by and large the american city has been unable to control it cycles of girls and change the university and many many places in the country dan's to be now cheek by jowl with the deprived

examples according to recent statistics are three thousand in chicago five thousand a new york and sixty thousand in philadelphia and the list goes on and as the numbers continue there's another growing number the number of people are asking the question is this urban renewal or black removal it's big no no karate is fast becoming a popular american sport it teaches self defense and emphasizes spiritual goals of self discipline graciousness moderation and cry john

blair was first introduced to karate while in the air force has earned the high distinction of what will create a in this special harlem summer class blair stresses both physical and mental training where is uniquely talented is both the master will arrive at an accomplished jazz violinist he performs john lewis trio is created and you are formed by combining the sounds of modern jazz with choreography of karate he was always trying to move towards fb has been warming up it's both

blair recognize the magnificent and slight movements of the precision and the intricacy of karate but he turned it into something much more has created a new kind of emotional experience a new imprint for operating almost as one unit the musicians improvise to the koran and as it's

been it's b it's been years

american countries banned well done where the oval for anybody else or don't understand you also play with john lewis trio well of course and also vice president of jazz musicians international corporate media likes writer with a song by colonel douglas literally john lewis trio also president the jazz musicians international corporate and billy taylor pianist composer program director of the real id and personal song like liam heavily in many areas on the records it wasn't like journal you know years ago we been abused exploited like things in favor white people where we are today where we feel that same bag are we going to take care of business and things i swear so well let's

try it is a vehicle identify vehicles were self expression where musicians can now establish not booking agency our job we have set out a social publishing firm and now to do all the things and i feel that we can reap benefits from gaza has we haven't done this and only way that we can do it is control our destiny so this is what the corporation oh you want to get into the power structure of your own thing that i would like to tell us and also controlled have that determines which was really naive the members of one a while today with so many young people and others going in different directions this is the first time that jazz which essentially is the thing in which you do you think jazz

is pressed on the question and traditionally all the major artists in jazz have not been together and trying to move to heritage in a particular direction now with the brac black revolution going in the direction that it's going and many of us have been caught up in it and we are not taking the same direction even though we have different opinions about two help each other and to bring to a wider group of people the tremendous advantage is observing and nurturing the tradition many here you're a writer and i'm sure you will expose is a real person out and go with the decision to build recording studios in with the men in control i think it's a wonderful thing to the present day and now i like the term that she used all the time we talk of plagiarism you know that always interests me in that and particularly with respect to jazz because we have so many jazz musicians who just

aren't really know aching and you say ah we can even check out charlie parker when he died he had so very little money in a sense though it as far as the standards a success in the site concerned when you realize his major contribution to jazz you wonder how this possibly be you know end our artist of course some have gone you know in the same direction and this is why they do what these people here are about seems to be the best course that we can possibly take in the future because i won a very frustrated i'm sick entire really sick and tired of seeing our thing taken and used and sometimes so often mutilated and end the realization of that if that's such a word if there's such a word all those people who destroyed and takeout kind that makes so much money but the originator you know falls by the wayside and in the indian recognizes as you know from being on the radio a caller record set of frequently makes

more than the original record for is that someone will create something and then someone will someone else will say gee that's a great idea and put more money in more know how more primarily more money into promoting the cover of that and in some cases a completely smothers the original idea what was a good artistic it you think you decided to have her journals countries pose with a black musician yes we have representatives representatives in different states like herbie hancock has represented which carl howe land as a representative los angeles wrote books is so representative and detroit and out to take a business to organize in another recording studios compositions the writing and what is illegal or advice or so yes we have to paddle the us attorney it takes you think though that this is the direction in setting the stage for a set of values this is uncle and then i just said that i think it's

wonderful because i think that it's time for a black man to accept the fact that he has touted as a very natural thing with us and that the talent cannot rebuild a world you see that we must do other things we must develop people who know how to promote it and not to sit around and talk that our art our eyes is like your time let him back into the frozen solid record based on that on my right billy lomax writer john where violence karate instructor john lewis who was the president of the jazz musicians international productions and billy taylor pianist and programme director of the real id i guess that's going to be it for tonight on black journal on this evening brothers and sisters i'm lou false woodland trees will be back on wednesday october the twenty thirteen one case a gay it's b
