During mid - year, con

of the C ity Managers action
to elim inate G riffin 's position.
From past news events, M r .
Harvey, was not satlsfiedwlth
young G riffin ’ s job perform
ance in the wake of racial
tensions during January and
February of 1972. Blacks of
the community contended that
G riffin was not given a fa ir
shake and sharply blasted the
city manager and Vancouver
C ity Council for elim inating
the position, when it was pre
viously known that no Jobdes-
crlption was ever w ritten for
G riffin .
According to KeithShawlee,
Personnel D ire c to r fo r Van

a fte r his job terminated and
refused to apply fo r another
exslsting vacancy in the per

There seems to be contro

of G riffin s position. W hile one

“ Freedom Is the right to

to hold a job, to enter a pub

It Is the right to be treated
in every pert of our national
life as a person equal In
dignity and promise to all
others.
"B u t freedom Isnotenough.
You do not wipe away the
scars of centuries by saying:
Now you are free to go where
you want, do as you desire
and choose the leaders you
please.
"You do not take a person
who, fo r years, has been hob
bled by chains and liberate
him , bring him up to the s tart
ing line of a race and then
say, 'You are free to compete
with all the others,’ and still
justly believe that you have
been completely fa ir.
"Thus it is not enough just
to open the gates of opportun
ity. All of our citizens must
have the ab.ll try to walk through
those gates,
" T h is is the next and more
profound stage of the battle
fo r civil rights. We seek not
just freedom hut opportunlty-
not just legal equity hut human
ability - not just equality as a
right and a theory hut equality
as a fact and as a result.
“ F o r the task Is to give 20

The result of President

Blacks to m a jo r offices, he
said, citing numerous exam

“ F o r the Sixties the con

"D espite its competition from

said:
“ The effo rt, spearheaded
