Re: Afro-American Broadcasting and Recording Company “been doing it they are experts at it, and they know what they are doing. Since the Federal government has shown that it is not going to do anything about it but talk, then it is a duty, it is your and my duty, a8 men, as human beings, and a duty to our people to organize ourselves and let the government know that if they do not stop that Klan we will stop it ourseives. Then you will see the | government start doing something about it, butdon't ever think that they are going te do it on some Kind of a morality basis. You can't stop it with love. Not love of those things down there.

It is a non- religicus organization to which anyone can beleng who ig interested in direct action. “One of our first programs is to take our problem out of the Civil Rights context and place it at the inter- national level ef human rights so that the entire world can have a voice in our struggle.

It is very important, that is our inter- national aim, that ig our external aim, our internal ain is to become immediately involved in a mass voters registration drive but we do not believe in voters registration without voter education. We believe that our people should be educated into the science of politics so that they will know what a vote is for and what a vote ia supposed to produce, and aiso how to utilize this united voting power so that you can control the politics of your own community and the politicians that represent that community. We are for that and in that line we will work with all others, even civil rights
