THER | SPRINGFIELD UNION EDITORIAL PAGE 3 ' SEPTEMBER 14, 1966 _The Uses: of Black Power . | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., the civil-rights movement's chief apostle of nonviolence, was busy in Atlanta this week seeking a way to calm a situation that has broken into riots several times in recent days. Dr. King’s considerable talents could be put to much better use elsewhere. Atlanta already has an enviable record of progress with civil rights, not only among southern cities but in the na- tion as a whole. Yet it is now the scene of an ugly struggle for control, pitting Dr. King and his moderate Southern Christian Leadership follow- ers against a more radical civil-rights wing led by Stokely Carmichael and the so-called Student Nonviolent Co- ordinating Committee: The Carmichael group, with its cry of “black power,” is giving that vague term its worst possible meaning. Fan- ning emotions to the point of destroy- ing property and injuring people is a far cry from the ballot-box power and the marketplace power the American Negro can use legitimately to help himself. Yet destruction is the turn the “black power” movement took in Atlanta with Mr. Carmichael’s en- couragement. And the damage goes far beyond a few broken windows. A critical vote takes place in the U.S. Senate today on ending a filibus- ter against a civil-rights bill that in- cludes the fair-housing provision sought fervently by Negro leaders. The bill’s chances, never really strong, are clearly diminished by Atlanta’s tragic news. News of racial violence elsewhere is doing other harm, too. Civil-rights groups report a drop-off in contribu- tions to finance their constructive work. Political candidates in several areas—not just the South—have been reaching for the ‘white backlash,” hop- ing to ride it into office with an im-. plied pledge to do less, not more, for Negroes. And as William S. White reported on this page the other day, fears of gangster ties with some of the rights groups is causing further dis- enchantment. The setback being handed the civil- rights movement is so obvious that one wonders if the lure of publicity, the thrill of the limelight, and the heat of the fray aren’t more important to this radical fringe than Negro ad- vancement. Dr. King and other vet- eran leaders, Negro and white, have a good deal more to show for their less fiery efforts. The progress of many Negroes, of course, increases the frus- tration of those who have been by- passed so far. But the rights move- ment will pick up momentum again when Negroes by and large repudiate the wild-eyed revolutionaries and sup- port—with sensible, reasoned “black power,’—those leaders who can use power effectively on their behalf.  i a OS ee eee tl ee  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

For Atlant a, by general agreement , h as been a model for southern cities in its race relations. Mayor Ivan Allen Jr. h as walked the · last m ile in search of r acial peace. He had almost solid Negro support when elected. He was one of the few southerners to testify in support of the 1964 civil rights bill. He has added Negroes t o the police force. Atlanta's schools and city facilit ies a re totally integrated. Many Negroes are employed by business establishments and th e city h as sen t eight Negroes to the state legislature. All of this counted for n othing, h owever, when a suspected Negro car t hief was wounded while trying to escape from arresting police offic ers. When some 500 or more Negroes t ook t o the streets the mayor climbed on top of an automobile and tried t o reason with them. He was shouted down. Taunts of "white devil" and "black power" greeted him. Finally th e mob surged around the car and the mayor was jarred loose from his perch and fell to the street . No, this didn't happen in a Birm- ingharn or a Selma. It happened in Atlanta. -Little wonder that the Rev. M·a r tin Luther King Sr., who lives in Atlanta, was heard to ask: "What do they want? The mayor came down. He tried· to speak to them and they wouldn't listen. What do they want?" It was a good question, but hard to answer. For most of the members of the mob may no~ have known themselves what they wanted-unless it was an excuse t o throw rocks and rant about police brutality. The mayor says the riot was deliberately caused by some of Stokely Carmichael's SNCC henchmen , a nd he may be right. For t h e mob began shouting "klll the white cops" after SNCC repr esentat ives, according to the police, spread the false word that the suspected car thief "had been shot while h andcuffed and that h e was m urdered." Whatever may h ave been the case with the rioters, it seems clear that what the SNCC people want ts trouble, trouble, trouble. And that ts what they are going to get,, though not in t h e form they want, if this sort of madness keeps up. ~- __ _ _..,._ � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.
