...Nixon on Racial Accommodation" [May 3] states the crisis as it is. I might add that one of the regrettable aspects of our society is the middle-class white, who feels there is a job to be done for the Negro-by someone else, of course. If we could only find a way to trade our apathy for involvement, we would come a little closer to solving this crisis...

...real and lasting racial accommodation is to be reached, the ghetto as an emotional and geographic entity will have to be abolished altogether. As long as we speak in terms of any ghetto-however clean, safe and hopeful it may be-we are accepting a racially segregated society that will continue to breed the hate, intolerance, fear, and violence that today is near to creating a fatal polarization of American society...

Notable Strides. The reason for the tension was an attempt by the island's six-year-old, predominantly Negro Progressive Labor Party to turn the elections into a bitter racial contest with the ruling United Bermuda Party. The United Bermuda, though biracial, is controlled by the island's businessmen and white Establishment. Like their distant neighbors in the Bahamas, Bermuda's Negroes constitute a majority (63%) of the island's 50,000 people; yet, unlike the Bahamas, Bermuda under the United Bermudians has made notable strides in integrating the island's life...
