...been doing all the time is letting them define how we are going to fight. The extremists in this country are not us. They are the ones who forced the Negroes to live in the conditions they are now in." Not to be outdone, McKissick later declared that black power "means taking over the government down there [the South] where Negroes constitute the majority," called for Negro economic boycotts and all-Negro financial institutions. "The Negro is saying today that it's going to be your funeral and my trial if you don't stop messing with...
Measured Malevolence. When some 3,000 Negroes trooped into Canton and began pitching circus-style tents on the grassy grounds of an all-Negro elementary school, more than 100 armed state-highway patrolmen, county deputies and local cops assembled near by.

"If necessary," preached King, "we're willing to fill up all the jails in Mississippi." The only reply was the clicking of rifle bolts as the cops advanced. Ten yards from the marchers, they halted, donned...
Carmichael, a founder of Alabama's all-Negro "Black Panther" Party, rejects the charge-raised by one of the Rev. Martin Luther King's top aides-that an all-Negro party is a kind of "reverse racism."

In 1964 this group helped elect a white mayor of Tuskegee and a council of three whites and two Negroes. This year it has withheld support from a Negro candidate for sheriff because, says C. G. Gomillion, retired dean of the institute, "we would be vigorously opposed to anything that could lead to all-Negro government...
...individual equality. Despite official pressure against racial discrimination, the blackball system, which forfeits membership control to the most prejudiced among a chapter's members, still keeps most fraternities segregated. In the 42,000-enrollment at the University of Minnesota, not a single Negro belongs to any fraternity except all-Negro Alpha Phi Alpha. There are no Negro fraternity members at all among the University of Wisconsin's 39,000 students...
