...have made contributions to the world. American or the State of Michigan societies." California enacted a similar law last year. The N.A.A.C.P is compiling lists of text it considers fair, vows "community action and protest" against school boards that approve books it deems "distorted or segregated." Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell will question textbook publishers at hearings on the topic by his House Education and Labor Committee late this month...
...Mississippi marchers took up the cry and carried it down the state's highways as they trudged toward the statehouse in Jackson last week. Harlem Congressman Adam Clayton Powell gave it voice when he told the graduating class of Washington's predominantly Negro Howard University to resist "the seductive blandishments of the white liberals" and seek "audacious power-black power." Members of two of the major civil rights groups, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee and the Congress of Racial Equality, mouth it over and over.

...Footsie." The G.O.P.'s fresh face belongs to Dempsey's good friend and neighbor E.

"Absolutely untrue," fumed Adam when the story caught up with him on a European junket. Having thus squelched the item, he flew...
Enough have left the pad to convince members of the House Education and Labor Committee that the program should be granted $250 million more than the $1.75 billion that the President requested for the anti-poverty budget in 1967. The committee chairman, Harlem's Adam Clayton Powell, is all for the increase-though not long ago he was a bitter critic of the program, complaining that big-city mayors were turning it into "giant fiestas of political patronage" and, mixing metaphors, that they were feeding "political hacks at the trough...
