Unjustifiedcritism has been made against the masses of Negroes all over America for
the irresponsible action of Stokely Carmichael, Williams and King and ethere
professional treuble makers that are using the Negro people for publicity-ané- te got
money for themselves. Even if some named were absence from Atlenta, their agitation
doctrine reference was made to it end these people are responsible fer the lost of
life end for those persons that were injured.
Stekely Carmichael was a foreigner and became an American citizen on April 17, 19586
I am certein all will agree that The 4mmigration end Naturalization Service made
an error in grenting this agitator American citizenshipe
Jemes Forman, Stokely Carmichael and Dr. Martin Luther King Jre, SNCC, NAACP,
SCLC end COREe these organizations end individuals do not speak for the Negro
massese 1t is evident that they do not even speak fer the handful of members
withing their organization. Since the liberal press give these individuals and
organization uncessery news coverage and imore those Negroes that eppese these
agitstors viewse This gives the impression that the Negro communities have no
objections to these self appointed agitatorse
These professional agitaters tt travel all ever this Republic looking fer the
dirt ef any comunity never finding anything progressive about any er all of the
Negreese Take for example Negro teachers in many cases in Alabama, Tennessee and the
Carolinas are paid more than White teachers. Negroes who are qualified are employed
in industry througheut the South.
There are approximately 22 million Negrees in America while there are about
307 millien Negroes in the rest of the World. The American Negre standard of living
%64- 70% higher than Negroes in other parts of the world. The American Negro life
expetancy is almost twice that of Negroes all over the world. Reports show that the
American Negroes had a total income around $21 billim in 1960 which is an average of
$1,100 per year for every Negro man woman and child, while Negroes living outside
of United States income is barley 20% of the American Negro Incanee
American Negroes owm more than 4 half million automobiles this figures to about
1 automobile to every 4 Negroes. Negroes in other parts of the world have nonée
In Russia there is one oar te every 545 people.
The 1960 Census shows about 2 million Negroes ewn their own homee In 1960 and
1061 there wore 33 Negro savings and loane association in United States valued at ever
$10, millien 53 Negre owned life insurance compenies worth about $230 million and
15 Negro banks with a total worth of $40 million. “here are 26 Negro millionaires
in UnitedxStakaimx Steatese There are 400 Negroes earning between $50,000 and
$100,000 per year and 10,000 Negroes making between $10,000 and $50,000. What group

These progressive Negroes that have earned their success by being intelligent and
hard work ignore these simple simons thets demonstration demanding freedom now.
These dupes implant the ideal sth that the masses ef White people should give
them speoiel laws and consideration and that they want White people te give them
Freedem on a silver platter. These successful Negro businessmen were not concem

self appointed civil rights leaders feel whatever a Negro produces is inferier to

@ommunists oriented te the point that a Negre-make- male must have his anns around
