...businesses, black cultural festivals, black historical groups, black community organization-all of which have released some tensions. Negro Playwright LeRoi Jones has shifted from promoting violence to campaigning for the election of Negro candidates to fill two of the three vacancies on the Newark city council. Black Militant Ron Karenga has also become an advocate of ballot power. He worked hard and effectively to prevent rioting from breaking out in Los Angeles after King's death...
Dreamed up by L. Ron Hubbard, a onetime science-fiction writer, Scientology originally surfaced as "Dianetics," a pseudopsychological fad that flourished briefly in America in the early 1950s.

Though most members of minorities like Reddin's ideas, many Negro militants still refuse to talk with the police. Some, like US (US is black people; whites would be THEM) Chief Ron Karenga, insist that Chief Parker's out-and-out hostility would be preferable to Reddin's firm amiability.
