Not that the organization's leaders believe the policy
will work
Wilkins himself assailed the Republicans as
"stupid " Although he would not say that this administra
tion has been less open and more difficult for blacks to in
fluence. he did say "We know where the buttons o f power
are. but we can't get to them" to get results. Other staff
members acknowledge that the strategy was highly fluid
and "could change in a week
If the N A ACP docs find a was to "push the buttons,"
here are the issues the organization considers to be most
important for the next few years
• Integration of the suburbs More than two-thirds
of the tobs will be there during the coming decade, the
N A ACP feels and the only way to ensure that blacks w ill
get a fair share is to have them live in close proxim ity to
employers
• I he treatment of black servicemen and veterans.
I fie armed forces arc riddled with racism, especially in ov
erseas installations
I he N A ACP w ill open its first over
seas branch in West Germany to assist black G I's there.
On the homefront. “99 per cent" o f A'ietnam veterans,
black and whik do not know the rights and benefits due
them, and many are faced with joblessness.
•
Integrating' the schools
The job of knocking
down legalized educational segregation has been done, the
N A ACP feels Vow the job is to see that black teachers,
administrators and students arc treated fairly. June Sha-
galoff Alexander, education director, called for a careful
monitoring of newly desegregated schools this fall to en
sure equality of treatment.
• A new emphasis on the "accountability” o f school
systems
AA e feel that if the students do not learn it is
not thev who have failed, but the schools that have failed,”
said Mrs Alexander
• I he establishment of numerical goals and timetables
for black employment, including preferential hiring for
black workers until "parity is reached.”
• A oter registration and education There are now
over 1.S00 black elected officials in the U. S., W ilkins
said, and efforts must be made to increase the number.
• Police-community relations "O ur mail from our
local chapters contains scarcely a letter that does not have
reference to the police situation in that town, whether it's
north, south, east or west." Wilkins said "A nybody who
doubts that police in general are not brutal or do not act
on their own prejudices ought to experiment with him
