The purpose of NIGHT CALL is to help people find reconciliation,
to move towards solutions to problems through understanding. NIGHT
CALL offers persons of widely differing views and backgrounds the
chance to speak, to be challenged, to ask questions, to discover new
views and truths.

Listeners to NIGHT CALL have heard Ralph Abernathy warn that if
racial problems are not solved through non-violent channels, "'.
There are other forces who are going to lead people down a more vio-
lent path."

They have heard Stokely Carmichael say he has not given up hope

of Blacks and Whites living together, but '...Since the White man has

. the power to destroy me, I am prepared for him."

They have heard what Baltimore is doing to solve racial problems,
and how a Los Angeles job program has reduced tension in Watts.

Other NIGHT CALL guests include H. Rap Brown, Jackie Robinson,
New York Mayor Lindsay, Cleveland Mayor Stokes, Ralph McGill, Bill
Cosby, H. W. Glassen, President of <NRA.

In actuality, NIGHT CALL is a national town meeting which offers
all Americans the opportunity to meet and talk over their problems in
the best way man has yet found: person to person. |

Since NIGHT CALL began broadcasting on June 3rd over 20 stations,
the nationwide network of stations carrying the program has nearly

tripled. NIGHT CALL originates from New York City.
