and Its Jurisdiction.
The day began with joining the
Congregation at the Regular
Morning Worship service
at
Vancouver Avenue 1st Baptist
Church where the group
was
welcomed by the Pastor, Rev.
O.B. W illiam s. At 1:30p.m. a
delightful luncheon was served
at the Prince Hall Masonic
Temple, 116 N .E . Russell Street
A fter which the regular Com
munication was held. The meet
ing was interesting and mutually
profitable. TheNorthwest w ill
be well represented at the
Annual convention of The United
Supreme Council, May 2,3, and
4, 1971 at Philadelphia, Pennsyl
vania.
Equal Employment
has been putting the heel on the
neck of blacks In this country.
And those who re ally want to do
that In the physical sense can get
the message.”
Among private corporations,
the form er EEDC chairman said,
"ta lk fa r outstripped the per
form ance." He noted that after
the EEOC held public hearings
In New York
in 1968, some
"v e ry significant Increases" in
white co lla r
employment
of
blacks took place, but he added
that the change was p rim a rily in
"th e entry level and lowerm lddle
level white co lla r positions. The
board rooms ar stUi pretty lilly
white.”
Alexander cited a study last
fa ll, which found no blacks among
2,522 top executives in 50 corp
orations and only three blacks a-
mong 660 board members of the
same companies.
The U.S. Congress has never
succeeded in parsing legislation
to give the EEOC enforcement
powers in the field of Job dis
crim ination , though it has had
such b ills before it several times
in recent years. C urrently, a b ill
giving "cease and d e sist" powers
to the commission is bottled up
in the House Rules Committee,
which is headed by Rep. W illiam
Colm er (D -M iss.).
Alexander
predicted that " a t the end of this
session, there w ill be no 'cease
and desist’ legislation, because
one 80-year-old M ississippian
representing the voice of white
M ississippi of 40 years ago de
cided that he would keep this b ill
in committee. And, one president
of the United States has said no
thing about th is ."
Equal opportunity for blacks
and other m inorities. In private
corporations could take place
without such legislatio, he said,
if those who control the corp
orations would recognize that ex
isting laws and their own self-
interst would be served.
"If
the changes do take place," Alex
ander s a id ," —and there are cer
tainly many reasons to question
whether they are going to take
place-they’ re going to take place
because whites have decided from
the point of view of th e ir pwn
self-interest that they need to do
something.
"T he corporation , as a legal
entity, is certainly perfectly cap
able of adjusting itse lf to the law;
the corporation does not have to
stand as a bastion against pro
gress . . .
If they want to take
the ultimate step, they could
change this society within a few
ye ars."
In the meantime, Alexander
added, " I think that blacks . . .
ought to be pragmatic, ought to
look fo r actual change and, when
they see it in some great sub
stance, then they can rejoice. Un
t il that tim e, they ought to be
very wary, very skeptical and
very questioning of white motives
attitudes and society."
