...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.

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...
