GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS The Emergency Convocation of The Urban Coalition has issu e d an urgent appeal to all concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition in efforts to fashion a new political, social, economic , an d moral climate tha t will make possible the breaking of the viciou s cycle of the ghetto. Action at the community level must now follo w. As leaders in your community, your commitment and ingenuity are now called upon to muster the support and involvement of your fellow citizens for a ma ssive reordering of priorities and programs in the face of the urban emergency. The national Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is already at work developing strategy and programs to achieve the goa ls it has set for itself. But its focus is primarily on national decision makers and national priorities and programs. This will not be enough. There must be complementary action a t the local level where ultima te responsibility rests and where urban problems are most clearly perceived. The Urban Coalition therefore looks to you to initiate formation of a loca l coa lition in your city or metropolitan area to work in concert with the n a tiona l Steering Committee in pursuit of common objectives. OBJECTIVES At the conclusion of the August Emergency Convocation , The Urban Coa lition a dopt ed a comprehensive Statement of Principles, Goa ls a nd Commitments. It i s this document which charts the cours e for our mutual e f fo r ts. (A copy of the Statement is enclosed) . You wil l not e f rom th e Statement that the Coalition h a s identi fie d s even s pec i f i c a re a s of urban affairs calling for conside rat ion and �-2action by the Coalition and the country. Emergency Task Forces have been created reflecting these problem areas through which the substantive efforts of the Coalition will be channeled. They are: 1. Emergency Task Force on Public Service Employment 2. Emergency Task Force on Private Employment 3. Emergency Task Force on Educational Disparities 4. Emergency Task Force on Reconstruction Investment & Urban Development 5. Emergency Task Force on Equal Housing Opportunities 6. Emergency Task Force on Corrnnunications 7. Emergency Task Force on Local Coalitions The designated urban concern of each Task Force demands irrnnediate attention and action. But while such a division of tasks is essential for efficient organization of the Coalition's endeavors, the very real functional inter-relationships between the major urban problems must not be overlooked. It is the position of The Coalition that given current urban American conditions, the key to resolving these inter-related problems is a massive emergency work program of at least one million new public service-type jobs, developed and financed by the Federal Government, including new training opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed. The elements of such an emergency work program are described in the Statement. Such a program is a prerequisite to the restoration of economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans. Equally important is the fact that in the absence of such a governmentally-generated emergency work program even the most enlightened and massive efforts to improve public education, housing, an -.:1 health an d we lfare services wi ll meet with failure. The pervasive social and economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy- �-3- ment in our citie s can spell sure disaster to our society. The alter- native is to implement a crash national employment program of the character The Urban Coalition p roposes . The business o f The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the basic needs of America's cities. While special emphasis has been g iven in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for f ull employment, this is not to minimi z e the urgent needs for new capital investment, revita li zed public educa tion, substanti al increa s es in the housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement states that the "nex t order of business ... sha ll be the devel opment of a broad program o f urban reconstruction ... including the g oa l of rehabilitation and construction o f at l east one million housing units for lower-income families annually ." All sectors o f Ame ric an s oci e t y have a rol e to pl ay in a ccomplishing t h e goa ls The Urban Coa li tion h a s propos e d . Awak ening t hos e s e ct ors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action is the immediat e t a sk. Essen_tial to The Urban Coalition's perform- ing tha t t ask i s the f orma ti on of loca l coa li ti ons wh i ch , we hope , wi ll fir st, p l e dge the ir s upp ort of the Sta t emen t of Principl es , Goa l s and Commitments, an d second , work i n concert wi th t h e nation a l St e ering Committee, with a ll resources ava ilable to them , to accompl ish thes e goals. STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITI ONS As an i n itia l t arget, t h e Stee ring Committ ee o f The Urban Coalition is r e spondi n g to the r e quests of commun it i es in at l east f if t y major urb an a r eas for a s s i s tance in the formation of l ocal coal i t i ons by Novembe r 15 , 1967. In each o f t h e f i fty communiti e s , a sma ll organi z- ing committee o f local l eaders is be i ng cal led together. As is the cas e with the Steering Committee , the l ocal organi zing committee wil l �-4be made up o f r ep r e sent at ives from the c ommunity's business, organized labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government , and · communications leadership. It is important that the sectors repre- sented correspond with those represented on the national Steering Committee so as to be broadly representative of the life of the community. In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been forme d around such i ssues as jobs, schools or housing. These groups may wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition. The loca l or ganizing commit t ee and oth er existing coalit ion groups are being invited to des i gnate representatives to attend a one-day Local Urban Coalition Pl anning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17 1967 in Chicago , Illinois. The plaming session , convene d by the ~ational Steering Commi tt ee, wi ll dea l ex clus i v e ly with organi za t ion a nd progr amming o f local coa l it ions. Further informa tion will be furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning s e ssion. I n no ev en t, h owev e r, s hould t h e organi za t ion of local coalit ion s be defe r r e d pendin g t h e Chicago p l anning s e ssion. Time i s of t h e ess ence. Where a gen eral , a s contrast e d t o a sing l e i s s ue, coa lit ion is be ing f orme d the fi rs t orde r o f busine ss for the organi z ing c ommittee is t o round ou t represent a tiv e p a rt i cipa tion on a loca l St eering Committ ee . Secondl y, the St e erin g Commi t t ee should devel op a dra f t Sta t ement of Princip l es , Goal s , and Commi tments whi ch endorse s the na t ional Sta t emen t and broa dens it to i nclu de ma j or local concerns. Nex t, conv ening of an emergency c onvocation of the l oc a l c oa lition t o rev iew and a dopt a Sta t emen t of Goals and devel op pl ans for i mp l ementa tion mi gh t be under taken . Thi s convoca tion , patterned a f t e r the n a tional Eme r gency Convocat i on he l d i n Au gu s t , s houl d be c a lle d a s soon as pos sibl e, h opefu l ly, no later t h an mid-Nov emb e r . In those cities wh ere several sing l e issue coalitions a l ready exist, t h ey may wish to j oin tly conv ene such a convocation. �r -5It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organizational phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coal i tions are being formed,the local organizing corrnnittee arrange for a t least one staff person to work full time on the local coalition. It is expected that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the participating leaders. THE LOCAL EMERGENCY CONVOCATION The local convocation will serve to bring together the significant corrnnunity leadership and will serve both as an organizing device as well as a vehicle for arousing and educating the community to the urban emergency. The convening of the convocation and the endorsement of a Statement of Principles will have local and national significance to the extent t hat the convocation enjoys the participation of the corrnnunity's leadership representing the same constituencies represented in the organizing committee . This is an enterprise requiring as much citizen support as possible so that community leadership involvement must be broad and numerically substantial. The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single c i ty er on the pr obl ems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, whiche ' e r is f easible and appropriat e . It is fully expected that the local c oa l ition and th e convocation will invo lve representatives o f maj or employers an d un i ons whether their constituents and/or func ~i ons are in the city or the suburbs. While the nationa l Urb an Coalition is not able to offer an:· finan cial ass i stance to loc al organizing committees, it wi ll provide assistance i n p reparing an d convening the local convocation. che~ In this regar d, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer ori e~ t at ion and counsel on a range of factors pertin ent to succe s sful �-6local coalitions. In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where des ir e d, technical assistance to local organizing corrnnittees in programmi ng of the local convocation and subsequent siminars and workshops. The national Steering Corrnnittee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested, in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Ur ban Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier. A necessary outcome of the convocation is endorsement of a minimal organizational structure to pursue the goals and commitment 6 adopted. With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, the local structure should include a steering corrnnittee and a minimum of three t ask forces to deal with legislation, expansion of private employment,and public information, respectively. Beyond the substance of these three task forces, local groups may set up other work groups. The nat i onal Urban Coalition, however, is presently going through program dev e lopment with its other task forces and will be prepared to coordinate other local task force action areas in the near future. Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will pa r t icipate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition . � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

The pervasive social and economic costs of continued high levels of unemployment and underemploy- ment in our cities can spell sure disaster to our society. The alter- native is to implement a crash national employment program of the character The Urban Coalition proposes. The business of The Urban Coalition is to induce a complete revision in the allocation of talent, time, money and resources to meeting the basic needs of America's cities. While special emphasis has been given in The Coalition's Statement to the basic need for full employ- ment, this is not to minimize the urgent needs for new capital invest ment, revitalized public education, substantial increases in the housing supply, more and better urban services and facilities, and enhanced equal opportunity in housing. The Statement states that the "next order of business...shall be the development of a broad program of urban reconstruction...including the goal of rehabilitation and construction of at least one million housing units for lower-income families annually." All sectors of American society have a role to play in accomplishing the goals The Urban Coalition has proposed, Awakening those sectors to the emergency at hand and mobilizing them for appropriate action is the immediate task. Essential to The Urban Coalition's perform- ing that task is the formation of local coalitions which, we hope, will first, pledge their support of the Statement of Principles, Goals and Commitments, and second, work in concert with the national Steering Committee, with all resources available to them, to accomplish these goals, STRATEGY AND AGENDA FOR LOCAL COALITIONS As an initial target, the Steering Committee of The Urban Coalition is responding to the requests of communities in at least fifty major urban areas for assistance in the formation of local coalitions by November 15, 1967. In each of the fifty communities, a small organiz- ing committee of local leaders is being called together. As is the case with the Steering Committee, the local organizing committee will niin be made up of representatives from the community's business, organized labor, religious, civil rights, educational, local government, and communications leadership. It is important that the sectors repre- sented correspond with those represented on the national Steering Committee so as to be broadly representative of the life of the community. In some cases, it may be that coalitions have already been formed around such issues as jobs, schools or housing. These groups may wish to identify with and work with The Urban Coalition. The local organizing committee and other existing coalition groups are being invited to designate representatives to attend a one-day Local Urban Coalition Planning Session to be held on Tuesday, October 17 1967 in Chicago, Illinois. The plamming session, convened by the national Steering Committee, will deal exclusively with organization and programming of local coalitions. Further information will be furnished to you shortly on the subject of the planning session. In no event, however, should the organization of local coalitions be deferred pending the Chicago planning session. Time is of the essence, Where a general, as contrasted to a single issue, coalition is being formed the first order of business for the organizing committee is to round out representative participation on a local Steering Committee. Secondly, the Steering Committee should develop a draft Statement of Principles, Goals, and Commitments which endorses the national State- ment and broadens it to include major local concerns. Next, convening of an emergency convocation of the local coalition to review and adopt a Statement of Goals and develop plans for implementation might be undertaken. This convocation, patterned after the national Emergency Convocation held in August, should be called as soon as possible, hope- fully, no later than mid-November. In those cities where several single issue coalitions already exist, they may wish to jointly convene such a convocation. fn It is strongly recommended that, both in the initial organizational phase as well as the post-convocation phase,where new coalitions are being formed,the local organizing committee arrange for at least one staff person to work full time on the local coalition. It is expected that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the participating leaders.

The convocation can be focused on the problems of a single city cr on the problems of the metropolitan area in which it is located, which- ever is feasible and appropriate. It is fully expected that the local coalition and the convocation will involve representatives of majcr employers and unions whether their constituents and/or functions are in the city or the suburbs. While the national Urban Coalition is not able to offer any financial assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide che~ assistance in preparing and convening the local convocation. In this regard, the October 17th planning conference in Chicago will offer orientation and counsel on a range of factors pertinent to successful local coalitions.

Wa~hington, 0. C. 20006 October, 1967 GUIDELINES FOR LOCAL COALITIONS On August 24 in ~ashington, D. C., the Emergen~y Convocation of The Urban Coalition issued an urgent appeal to all concerned American citizens to join with the Coalition in efforts to fashion a new political, social, economic, and moral climate that will make possible the breaking of the vicious cycle of th~ ghetto.

It is this document which charts the course for our mutual efforts. (A copy of the Statement is enclosed.)

The elements of such an emergency work program are described in the Statement. Such a program is a prerequis~te to the restoration of economic health to our cities and hope to the lives of millions of urban Americans.

Finally, it is contemp l ated that the local coalitions will pa r ticipate in a nd help shape the prog r ams of The Ur ban Coalition through a Council of Urban Coal i tions . Each city should pl an to - designate two r e pres entatives to serve on this national Council. At its f i rst meeting to be held before the end of th i s year, the Council will elect t wo rep r esentatives to serve on The National Steering Committee and will continue to advise The Na t ional Stee ri ng Committee on policies that are of national conce rn . By definit i on, a coa l ition, whether it be single purpose or otherwise, is an as s oc i ation of constituencies fo r so me ag r eed pu r poses and not at all necessarily a fo r mally organ iz ed , r egulated a nd s tr uctu r e d en tity .

The In the case of uninc orp orated l oca l coa l iti ons , fun ds may be channe l ed through a separate fis c al agent such as a cooperat i ng organiz a ti on . �- 7 At this point it is appropriate to mention in connection with those local groups that choose to incorporate, that careful attention should be given to weighing the advantages and disadvantages of seeking tax exempt status under Section / 50l(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code . Perhaps one of the most important considerations in reaching a determination on _whether to seek tax exempt status is the f act that organizations enjoying such status are not in a position to attempt to influence the decisions of legislative bodies. Given the potential importance of this fact for any organization attempting to deal in a comprehensive way with the range of urban problems, careful deliberation of this subject is in order on the local level before a decision is taken with respect to tax status. Members of the steering committees of such tax exempt organizations may nonetheless make appeals for legislation if they are acting as individuals. * * � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

It is y vs likely that this staff person could be borrowed from the staff of one of the participating elements of the coalition. While the National Steering Committee is not able to offer any financial assistance to local organizing committees, it will provide other assistance in preparing and convening local coalition activities. In addition, the Steering Committee has accepted an offer by the \ Pull National Institute of Public Affairs to furnish, where desired, > Vee r technical assistance to local organizing committees in program- 5 av? p v\ ming of local convocations and subsequent seminars and workshops on urban affairs. The National Steering Committee will also provide speakers, where needed and requested, in any or all of the substantive areas under consideration by The Urban Coalition Task Forces mentioned earlier. a With respect to newly-formed local coalitions, it is expected that the local structure will include a steering committee and task forces to deal with national urban legislation, expangion of private employment, housing, education and public information. Finally, it is contemplated that the local coalitions will participate in and help shape the programs of The Urban Coalition through a Council of Urban Coalitions. Each city should plan to oe —_ designate two representatives to serve on this national Council. At its first meeting to be held before the end of this year, the Council will elect two representatives to serve on The National Steering Committee and will continue to advise The National Steering Committee on policies that are of national concern. By definition, a coalition, whether it be single purpose or otherwise, iS an association of constituencies for some agreed purposes and not at all necessarily a formally organized, regulated and structured entity. Local coalitions, whether single purpose or otherwise, may, therefore, be associations of leadership from \ already organized structures and sectors of communities. It is not necessary, although in some cases it may be desirable, for a local group to formally incorporate a local coalition. The national Urban Coalition has not chosen to incorporate. In the case of unincorporated local coalitions, funds may be channeled through a separate fiscal agent such as a cooperating organization, \ At this point it is appropriate to mention in connection with} those local groups that choose to incorporate, that careful attention should be given to weighing the advantages and disadvantages of seeking tax exempt status under Section / ee ners) of the Internal Revenue Code. Perhaps one of the most important considerations in reaching a determination on. whether to seek tax exempt status is the fact that organizations enjoying such status are not in a position to attempt to influence the decisions of legislative bodies. Given the potential importance of this: fact ror any organization attempting to deal in a comprehensive way with the range of urban problems, careful deliberation of this subject is in order on the local level before a decision is taken with respect to tax status. Members of the steering committees of such tax exempt organizations may nonethe- less make appeals for legislation if they are acting as individuals.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A program of acticn for a local task force could be as follows: 1. An assessment of the unemployment and nt problems in the comunity. 2. An inventory of manpower srograms in oseration. 3. Development of programs to meet the unfilled needs. 4. Continous evaluation x : d revorting of the progress and = L LY: - 4 az problems in the communi The Urban Coalition has two Task Sree in the housing and recon- struction area. The Re i Tas! currently develoving a long-range program ai in £ nter—-city areas and at expanding } Lab] amilies. The Ecuai Opportunteses.: in Housing > Task Force is working out a program with local fair nousing committees and with key elements in tne real estate, development and mortgage institutions. iV. PBPUSLIC SUPPORT The Task Force on Communications and Public Support is currentiy working owt a program aimed at launching a national educational campaign through tne Advertising Council. In addition, individual efforts are being lunched with key elements of the mass media aimed at emphasizing teh nature of the urban crisis. Local counterpart task forces can greatiy assist this effort and should, if possible, irectivy and soersonally invoive reoresentatives of the mass media on a-local basis. See Discussion Paner and Guidelines for Local Coalitions DISCUSSION PROCEDURES <j FI We are expecting approximately 300 participants Grawn from fifty to sixty communities. Most will not have gone very tar toward organizing local coalition activities. The participants w be Givided into five workshop groups. Hach discussion grous will aave a chairman ané four resource consultants. It is exsected that eacn Giscussion group will address itself to two topics in the morning workshovs (the review of the national legislative picture atiecting cities and a review of onsortunities for and metnocs of exnanding private emplovment) and two tosics in the afternoon (housing and reconstruction problems and ways of develoving public support and local ccalitions). Tnere are only two key concerns that the National Steering Co now has concerning local coalitions. One that we expect t: to take different forms because of local iztions ana the o is that we expect their governing boards @ representative, including the elsments represented on the National Steering Committee (business, labor, local government, religion, civil rights and ecucation). Our official view is that we exvect locai coalitions to include leadership from the ghettos and barrios. Two réoresen- tatives from local coalitions’ will be elected to serve on the Steering Committee by a Council of Urban Coalitions to se fornea later this year : Local coalitions, local task forces ad special srotects ssonsored by the national task forces will provide full oovortunity for the particivation of interested citizens in achieving the goals of the Coalition. The posture of the Steering Comnittee is that we wel comes support for the Statement of Principles, Goais, and Commitments and we exoect local coalition is to expand on these orincioles through local efforts and in consultation witn the National Stsering Committee tarough the Council of Urban Coalitions. The worksho> chairmen and resource consultants shoulé stress the importance of mobilizing national support for a greater alloca- tion of both public and private resources to deal with the sro- bliems of the center-cities. The resource peodie bear an esseciaily Neavy resvonsibility--to intetoret the enormity and complexity = this undertaking.. Stress must be placed on the fact that Congrass is currently not responding to the need as the Coalition sees it. While encouraging the expansion of private initiative, stress must be placed on the critical importance of public policy, equal oppor= tunity and federal dollars. n  “4 RLIEFIM "5B iP n m LD IOP LED 3 FORK “=r tae = cies CULT c tO a tel Utell eed Wed wi ad @ Wt Ty Oma P sel od Ad novo” rAdsN, oa mM flerl-ea at 4 oy) kpe-t O OW Orel e.g OO) .4Q WwW Olu 000 HM uO FP Ww  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

SWEAT, JR., Director of Governmental liaison -· MEMORANDUM To: Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr. From: Subject: Dan Sweat Organization of Local Urban Coalitions A priority goal of the Steering Committee of the National Urban Coalition is the establishment of strong local coalitions in the 50 largest urban cities of the nation. This is, of course, essential to the very life bloo_d of any sustained effort to develop a meaningful coalition which can speak for urban America as a whole. The direction taken by these local coalitions will depend upon the individual city or urban area and the wishes of the local leadership. We can safely predict they will take on a wide variety of shapes and forms from city to city. The more I analyze the alternatives to organization of a coalition in Atlanta, the more I am convinced we already have several single-purpose groups functioning in this very capacity. I believe the identification of these groups as our coalition might reduce or negate the requirement for establishment of any other body, although I believe at some point a leadership meeting should be held to explain the Urban Coalition. �Mayor Allen Page Two October 11, 1967 Probably the be st example of a local coalition organized to attack a particular problem area is the Board of Directors of Economic Opportunity Atlanta, Inc. This group, originally appointed by the governing authorities of the City of Atlanta and Fulton County, and now operating under a non-profit charter, clearly represents the six broad areas of Business, Labor, Civil Rights, Education, Religion and Local Government, which make up the national coalition. (A copy of the E OA Board is attached. ) A second group organized around a single -purpose is the Housing Resources Committee. (Copy of Committee Structure attached. ) . Other groups which would fall in this category would be the Community Relations Commission, Atlanta Youth Council, and the Citizens Advisory Committee on Urban Renewal. (Copies of CRC, AYC and CACUR Board members attached.) Each of these groups is organized to perform in an area of primary concern to the national coalition; EOA - Poverty; Housing Resources Committee - Low Income Housing; Community Relations Commission - Civil Rights; CACUR Urban Redevelopment. The final Model Cities Executive Board - Technical Advisory Committee - Citizens Advisory Committee structure will provide for another coalition of individuals and groups designed to produce cooperative action in planning and implementing the Model Cities Program. (Copies of proposed Board and Committee Structure attached.) It is readily apparent that no recognized local group is established for the specific pnrpose of developing employment opportunities for the poor. While a large part of EOA's program is designed to reduce unemployment and �.. Mayor Allen Page Three October 11, 1967 underemployment, no broadly-based organization currently exists which can function in a capacity which will bear the local responsibility for meeting the national Urban Coalition goal of one million jobs for the poor. (This was the first announced goal of the Urban Coalition. ) I believe, however, that a project in the works during the last eighteen months by the City of Atlanta, EOA, the Community Council, Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and the Sears-Roebuck Foundation might have produced the mechanism for creation of a coalition on employment opportunities. This group has met informally at least once a month during this time in an effort to produce a color slide presentation on problems and opportunities for employment of the poor. The Sears-Roebuck Foundation financed the employment of a top advertising agency to assemble the materials and design the presentation under the supervision of the informal group. The presentation is now completed and Mr. Lucien Oliver of Sears will, in the next three or four weeks, invite a select group of key business executives to a luncheon to be exposed to this production. He is expected to ask each of these executives to sponsor luncheons for a wider group of businessmen in an effort to disseminate the information to as many firms as possible. The businessmen will also be encouraged to direct their personnel management to become better informed on the problems of unemployment and uncle remployment among the poor and to investigate all possibilities for providing entry level jobs for additional employees who lack skills and training . �Mayor Allen Page Four October 11, 1967 This will fit perfectly into the scheme of the national coalition, which is encouraging the top executives of the large national firms to direct their plants throughout the country to do essentially the same thing. (There has already been some definite response to this program. I have had an indication from Sears and Ford offices here that the word has already come from the top.) . In view of the impending National Steering Committee C onference on Employment here in November, I am encouraging the meeting of the first group by Mr. Oliver be held in advance of the Coalition. I believe this initial group should be considered as the local coalition and worked into the National Conference. I recommend that you ask Mr. Oliver to attend or send Dan Garies or Bob W o od to the October 17 all-day meeting on local coalitions in Chicago. I would also recommend that I attend as your representative and that you ask Vernon Jordan to represent us in the area of Civil Rights. Vernon is on loan to the Urban C o alition staff and will be in attendance and is more aware of what is going on than any other individual from Atlanta. I also would hope that at a very early date we can show you the employment presentation and get your ideas on how we can provide follow-up.

This group has met informally at least once a month during this time in an effort to produce a color slide presentation on problems and opportunities for employment of the poor. The Sears-Roebuck Foundation financed the employment of a top advertising agency to assemble the materials and design the presentation under the supervision of the informal group. The presentation is now completed and Mr. Lucien Oliver of Sears will, in the next three or four weeks, invite a select group of key business executives to a luncheon to be exposed to this production, He is expected to ask each of these executives to sponsor luncheons for a wider group of business - men in an effort to disseminate the information to as many firms as possible. The businessmen will also be encouraged to direct their personnel management to become better informed on the problems of unemployment and underemployment among the poor and to investigate all possibilities for providing entry level jobs for additional employees who lack skills and training. Mayor Allen Page Four October ll, 1967 This will fit perfectly into the scheme of the national coalition, which is encouraging the top executives of the large national firms to direct their plants throughout the country to do essentially the same thing. (There has already been some definite response to this program. I have had an indication from Sears and Ford offices here that the word has already come from the top. ). In view of the impending National Steering Committee Conference on Employment here in November, I am encouraging the meeting of the first group by Mr. Oliver be held in advance of the Coalition. I believe this initial group should be considered as the local coalition and worked into the National Conference. I recommend that you ask Mr. Oliver to attend or send Dan Garies or Bob Wood to the October 17 all-day meeting on local coalitions in Chicago. I would also recommend that I attend as your representative and that you ask Vernon Jordan to represent us in the area of Civil Rights. Vernon is on loan to the Urban Coalition staff and will be in attendance and is more aware of what is going on than any other individual from Atlanta. I also would hope that at a very early date we can show you the employment presentation and get your ideas on how we can provide follow-up.

This is only the second time in their history that McGraw-Hill has undertaken such a project. A special supplement to City magazine on the August Convocation has been sent to all those who attended and is receiving wide national distribution. Press support for the Coalition continues strong. Since the August Emergency Convocation, editorials supporting the Coalition's goals and principles have appeared in some 70 newspapers and magazines. In addition, news stories have appeared in a wide variety of dailies, weeklies, and magazines , including business journals, labor union papers, religious publications and the Negro press. (See sample clips) LEGISLATION On October 23 , Coalition Co-Chairmen Andrew Heiskell and A. Philip Randolph wired members of the House-Senate Conference Committee on Independent Offices Appropriations urging that they support the Senate's recommendation of $637 million for funding the model cities program (the House had approved $237) and $40 million for funding rent supplements (the House had killed the program). In final action , model cities received $312 million and rent supplements received $10 million. In the i r wire , Heiskell and Randolph reminded members of the Committee that 1 , 200 national leader s gathered at the Coalition's Augu s t Convocation in Washington had unanimously declar ed : "Congr e s s must move wit hout delay on ur ban pr ogr ams.

Representatives of the Task Force Co-Chairmen are exploring the current private2and �1 -4- government investment situation, and the effect of government housing and financing programs on plans for metropolitan open housing. The group is also surveying the experiences of existing fair housing groups and determining how this Task Force can relate its work to the local coalition movement. Particular emphasis is being paid the problem of new lower-income housing in suburban areas on an open occupancy basis. A national action session for some 300 suburban fair housing councils is planned for early next year in Chicago. The Leadership Council for Metropolitan Open Communities, under the Chairmanship of C. Virgil Martin, President of Carson, Pirie Scott and Company will serve as the local host. EDUCATIONAL DISPARITIES Expansion of this Task Force is under way, work areas are being defined, and technical resources are being surveyed. Representatives of the Task Force Co-Chairmen met following the October 9 Steering Committee to discuss Task Force goals: particular attention was paid to ways in which the Task Force can relate to efforts of local coalitions to deal with educational problems. A full Task Force meeting will take place November 7 in _New York.

JET MAGAZINE November 2, 1967 URBAN COALITION: NEWEST WEAPON TO FIGHT SLUMS NEW ALLIANCE BETWEEN DIFFERENT By FREDERICK GRAVES While the long, hot summer of 1967 is now a part of the past, concerned persons are attempting to pool their resources and reorganize their thinking and values, hoping to prevent the predicted long , hot summer of 1968 from becoming a part of the future . To accomplish this monumental task a new alliance between leaders in civil rights, religion, business. labor and local governments was formed . It is called The Urban Coalition, and some look upon it as one of the last measures available to save our cities. On August 24, after clean-up crews in Newark and Detroit had begun to clear their rubble-filled streets, Urban Coalition leaders held what they termed an emergency convocation. One thousand delegates attended the session at the Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D. C. , and they represented all groups that have strong interests in the survival of the cities. GROUPS COULD SAVE U. S. CITIES The Urban Coalition is co-chaired by Negro labor leader A. Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleepi~g Car Porters, and Andrew Heiskell, board chairman of Time, Inc . At the emergency convocation they were joined by rights leaders Roy Wilkins and Whitney Young Jr. The business community was represented by Asa T . Spaulding, president of North Carolina Mutual Insurance Co.; Gerald L. Phillippe, board chairman of the General Electric Co., and Henry Ford II, board chairman of the Ford Motor Co. Labor representatives included Walter Reuther of the United Auto Workers ; George Meany, AFL-CIO president, and I. W. Abel, United Steelworkers president. From the religious community were Rabbi Jacob P. Rudin, president of the Synagogue Council of America; Archbishop John F.

Conference of Mayors. Keynote speaker at the session was New York Mayor John v. Lindsay who told the 1,000 delegates that local coalitions must be formed to help raise the standards of housing, education, job training, welfare a~d raise the employment rate. No time was wasted on isolatmg the problems ; everyone there knew quite well wh~t. prob 1e_m s exist in cities. Also no time was wasted on decidmg which groups in the cities this new coalition program should help . The answer was obvious: The same alienated, po~r people who had used molotov cocktails to destroy th_e business establishments of unfair merchants and their own rat infested homes in sub-standard buildings. _ Convocation delegates left the one-day meet charged with the responsibility of returning ~o_ their urban c~n:munities and establishing local coaht1ons between civil rights, labor, business, religion and governmen~. The national Urban Coalition promised help and advice when16 ever needed. Urban Coalition headquarters in Washington , D. C., said it does not plan to dictate how local groups should be organized. Officials there said each urban area has its own personality and it will be more practical fot' each city to do its own mobilizing of force·s . But t he national group did offer one strong bit of advice to the local coalitions: Poor people-Negroes, Puerto Rica ns. White Appalachians-should be included in local groups, along with militants. As part of the mobilizing of local groups, the nation a l Coalition sponsored a one-day meet last week at the University of Illinois' Chicago Circle Ca mpus. It was attended by 250 persons representing areas that were attempting t o form their coalitions. There were representatives from 46 cities. Although they were from most parts of the country, there were more Mid-Westerners t han any other geographic group. Because of this the Washington office plans to hold three other such meets to make sure every urban area has a chance to benefit from the advice of experts. The opening general session of the. Chicago meet was 17 {MORE) �JET MAGAZINE (cont.) iJovember 2, 19 67 Meaning Of America Is Urban Issue, Publisher Says presided over by JET-EBONY Publisher John H. Johnson, co-chairman of the national Coalition's Task Force on Communications and Public Support. He helped set the tone for the day when he told the registrants : "We are engaged here .in creating a will that speaks not so much to Negroes but to the fundamental issue of the meaning of America. Whatever we do, we must not deceive ourselves. The decision before us now is not a decision about the Negro but a decision about America. It is not a decision about civil rights but a decision about the future of the city." Lindsay Randolph One of the main objectives of the Coalition is to organize a force strong enough to move, sh ake, push 8:nd prod Congress into passing much needed legislation which can alleviate some of the problems faced by cities. These include retraining programs, the Model Cities plan and adequate welfare financing without strict, inflexible rules which prohibit funds going to those who need it most_. At the Chicago session registrants attended a senes of workshops which included pan els composed of top-flight Negroes in governmental agencies and social ":'elfare groups. They included Vernon Jordan of Atlanta, dir~ctor of the voter education project of the Southern Regional council ; Melvin Mister of Washington, D. C., director of the D. C. Redevelopment Land Agency; A. Donald Bourgeois, general manager of the St. Louis Model Cities p_rogram; Mrs. Frank Williams of Indianapolis, representing the League of Women Voters Education Fund, and Clifton w. Henry, a community services representative from the U.S. Mayors Conference, Washington. Henry said that up 'ti! now there has been no will on the part of cities to deal effectively with their problems: One of the big questions is, "Will The Urban Coaht10n be able to get cities to stop playing politics and start planning creative programs to help their ghetto residents become a part of the predominant affluent society?" In short, "Can America be saved?" Ford Rustin .... Wheeler Different cities are handling the mobilization of local coalition in different ways. Chicago, for example, is not planning to make an effort for such action. Its mayor, Richard J . Daley, said the city has always had such a coalition between business, labor, religion, etc. Then Daley ticked off a list of city agencies and commissions which h e said encompass all walks of the city's life. In Minneapolis, Minn., Mayor Arthur Naftalin admitted to some failures in his city and said members of the militant Negro community should be consulted and asked to take an active part in local coalition groups. "If we can't close the gap between young militants and the established community, it will destroy us," h e warned. 19 18 � Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Urge Forming Local Coalitions To Solve Problems Phoenix, John F. Collins of Boston and Joseph M. Barr of Pittsburgh, president of the U. S. Conference of Mayors. Keynote speaker at the session was New York Mayor John V. Lindsay who told the 1,000 delegates that local coalitions must be formed to help raise the standards of housing, education, job training, welfare and raise the employment rate. No time was wasted on isolating the problems; everyone there knew quite well what problems exist in cities. Also no time was wasted on deciding which groups in the cities this new coalition program should help. The answer was obvious: The same alienated, poor people who had used molotov cocktails to destroy the busi- ness establishments of unfair merchants and their own rat infested homes in sub-standard buildings. Convocation delegates left the one-day meet charged F with the responsibility of returning to their urban com- munities and establishing local coalitions between civil rights, labor, business, religion and government. The na- tional Urban Coalition promised help and advice when- 16 (MORE) a a. é 4 Panelist Henry criticized city governments. John Cardinal Cody congratulates Naftalin after speech. ve ever needed. Urban Coalition headquarters in Washington, D. C., said it does not plan to dictate how local groups should be organized. Officials there said each urban area has its own personality and it will be more practical for each city to do its own mobilizing of forces. But the na- tional group did offer one strong bit of advice to the local coalitions: Poor people—Negroes, Puerto Ricans, White Appalachians—should be included in local groups, along with militants. As part of the mobilizing of local groups, the national Coalition sponsored a one-day meet last week at the Uni- versity of Illinois’ Chicago Circle Campus. It was attended by 250 persons representing areas that were attempting to form their coalitions. There were representatives from 46 cities. Although they were from most parts of the country, there were more Mid-Westerners than any other geo- graphic group. Because of this the Washington office plans to hold three other such meets to make sure every urban area has a chance to benefit from the advice of experts. The opening general session of the Chicago meet was 17 JET MAGAZINE (cont.) November 2, 1967 Meaning Of America Is Urhan Issue, Publisher Says presided over by JeTt-Esony Publisher John H. Johnson, co-chairman of the national Coalition’s Task Force on Communications and Public Support. He helped set the tone for the day when he told the registrants: ‘We are engaged here in creating a will that speaks not so much to Negroes but to the fundamental issue of the meaning of America. Whatever we do, we must not deceive our- selves. The decision before us now is not a decision about the Negro but a decision about America. It is not a decision about civil rights but a decision about the future of the city.” Lindsay Randolph Spaulding Young One of the main objectives of the Coalition is to or- ganize a force strong enough to move, shake, push and prod Congress into passing much needed legislation which can alleviate some of the problems faced by cities. These include retraining programs, the Model Cities plan and adequate welfare financing without strict, inflexible rules which prohibit funds going to those who need it most. At the Chicago session registrants attended a series of workshops which included panels composed of top-flight Negroes in governmental agencies and social welfare groups. They included Vernon Jordan of Atlanta, director of the voter education project of the Southern Regional Council; Melvin Mister of Washington, D. C., director of 18 the D. C. Redevelopment Land Agency; A. Donald Bour- geois, general manager of the St. Louis Model Cities pro- gram; Mrs. Frank Williams of Indianapolis, representing the League of Women Voters Education Fund, and Clifton W. Henry, a community services representative from the U.S. Mayors Conference, Washington. Henry said that up ‘til now there has been no will on the part of cities to deal effectively with their problems. One of the big questions is, “Will The Urban Coalition be able to get cities to stop playing politics and start plan- ning creative programs to help their ghetto residents be- come a part of the predominant affluent society?” In short, ‘Can America be saved?” Ford Rustin Wheeler Wilkins Different cities are handling the mobilization of local coalition in different ways. Chicago, for example, is not planning to make an effort for such action. Its mayor, Richard J. Daley, said the city has always had such a coali- tion between business, labor, religion, etc. Then Daley ticked off a list of city agencies and commissions which he said encompass all walks of the city’s life. In Minneapolis, Minn., Mayor Arthur Naftalin admitted to some failures in his city and said members of the mili- tant Negro community should be consulted and asked to take an active part in local coalition groups. “If we can’t close the gap between young militants and the established community, it will destroy us,” he warned. ah]  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Cardinal O'Boyle expanded by saying that ar ea clergy wo uld exchange pul pit visits, followed by special semina rs and meetings for laymen "to promote a better understanding of urban affairs a nd com munity relations." "The aim of the chur ch and the refore of the Washingto n Archdiocese," said the Cardinal , "mus t be to build a society which will afford the ordinary citizen and every citizen the opportuni ty to pursue his salvation in conditions of life that are not de basing and exp losive, but human and encouraging." .'\ t one point, he obser ved . We're not playing Lady Boun'. tiful . . . We've got an obligation to do this."

The proposed housing at the St. Vincent's site would be financed under that rent subsidy section-Section 221 (D) 3 and would provide a m ix of apartments for the elderly public housing uni ts and non~ profit dwellings for families of low and moderate income.

Clark pointed out that the shortage of equity capital — “front money”—now in the hands of the Housing Develop- ment Corp. and similar groups has limited the area’s ability to take advantage of the low cost loans available under the loans to nonprofit corporations geoton of the Federal Housing Act. The proposed housing at the St. Vincent’s site would be financed under that rent sub- sidy section—Section 221 (D) 3 and would provide a mix of apartments for the elderly, public housing units and non- profit dwellings for families of low and moderate income. The Archdiocese is involving itself in three other housing programs.

Negro leadership has lived up to its responsibility by speaking oul against riots and by proposing rational programs to end their causes. Now it is time for white leader-1 ship to speak out and condemn the backlash e r s and start doing something to end the ghetto's problems. Churc h e s, liberal organizations, politiYOUNG cal clubs, business and labor, interracial and human relations groups, all, have to speak out now and re-' gain the initiative from th~ backlashers. They have been silent for too long. There are signs that some leaders realize the urgency of t he situation and are willing to join t he coalition so despe~ateIy needed if our country 1s to have peace and progress. _I took , part in a r ecent meetmg to i form just such a group. It is called the Urban Coalition, and our first meeting included leaders of business, labor, religion, city mayors, and 1 civil rights groups. From this l came proposals for an emergency work program to provide . jobs and training for the unem- 1 ployed, the establishment of job. centers in cities, and the com- ' mitment of private industry to · take all steps necessary to insure full employment. This last item is especially: significant because business has: not done enough to provide the . jobs and training needed. Negro workers are unemployed at!

Many business leaders understand that they have a tremen-. dous stake in urban peace and some of them realize they can 't' affor d to continue old ways of doing things. But the r eal test will come at the local level. Businessmen . and community leaders are going to have to come forward with vigorous support for r adical changes. That is why various local ur-1 ban coalitions are now being ' formed. In New York, for ex- 1 ample, Mayor Lindsay, who! was at our meeting, has set up, a New York Coalition of local l leadership to attack ghetto problems. Other cities and re-1 gions will do the same.

The : ·time is long past for mere lip service to the ideals of equality. Responsible leaders and estahlished organizations must be given the resources to deal adequately with ghetto problems. Negro citizens are tired of being promised jobs and not getting them, they have been lied to once too often. · The business and civic leaders now formin g such coalitions in their communities will have to deliver on their promises. This coalition will have to create jobs and strengthen the economic life of the ghetto. It will have to end racial barriers in housing, health and education. These can't be temporary steps to stave off a riot; they must be steps which get at the heart of the problems caused by racism and solve them permanently. We really h;we little choice. This country can take the high road to social progress and iequality by a strong commitment to far-reaching progra ms to create jobs and better living conditions for the urban poor . or it can take the low road to social disaster and violence by letting the backlashers speak for it and allowing ghetto conditions to wor sen.

MINNEAPOLlS TRIBUNE September 14, 1967 Substituting Action NEW YORK TIMES October 10, 1967 fo.r Oratory THE $14,000 contributed by Minneapolis area businesses to study the creation of an Urban Coalition shows a -growing awareness that the total community, public and private, must become more involved in the effort to solve our problems of race and pov. erty. Critics might say that the time for studies is past. In this case, however, there would be no point in forming a coalition if .the members had little idea of what they could do or how they should do it. These are the questions that this study must answer. And at nine weeks, it is a short one as studies go. Participants at the recent National Urban Coalition meeting in Washington, D.C., resolved boldly to push for a million more iobs, a million . more homes for the poor, better schools and social conditions. Whether these goals can be attained will depend greatly on the grassroots pressure and contributions of key leaders at the local level. This is where the Minneapolis coalition comes in. This is where the white community must show Negro critics at the national meeting that it is not attempting to sub_s titute oratory for action. Earl Ewald, president of Northern States Power Co. and temporary chairman of the contributing local businessmen, said that none of them sees merit in creating just another organization. "But maybe a new kind of organization like a genuine 'Urban Coalition' can help," he said. "We hope to find out." We hope the find ings are affirmative.
