R u r a l housing blight, h y p o c r i s y r e v e a l e d at D . C . conference

By Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Bureau

.WASHINGTON, D.C.-A twoday R u r a l Housing conference, sponsored by the Rural Housing Alliance ( R H A ) and the Housing Assistance Council ( H A C ) dramatized the blight o f non-urban A m e r i c a and exposed thehyprocrisy o f the Administration's so-called Federal Housing programs. A A R O N H E N R Y , well known N A A C P figure and Mississippi F r e e d o m P a r t y leader toldt h e gathering o f m o r e than 600 rural Blacks, Chicanos a n d migrant whites, that the title of a r e p o r t published five y e a r s ago by the President's Commission onRural Poverty was still a living reality today. T h e report, h e said, w a s entitled, " T h e People left behind." Henry, n o stranger to t h e pathetic sights o f shanty homes o rthebloated stomachs of B l a c k babies suffering f r o m "worms" and malnutrition, charged that t h e "official definition of poverty is designed t o hide t h e facts rather than to illuminate them."

The poverty definition, he said, w a s based upon s o m e weird assumption that i f y o u have enough income t o b u y enough food f o r a n "emergency diet," then three times that income is enough for y o u n o t only t o b u y food, but adequate housing, "clothing medical care, transportation and everything you need." As ridiculous as this standard is, H e n r y , declared, " e v e n b y it, o n e o u t o f e v e r y five households i n t h e nonmetropolitan areas ofthe country is i n poverty. Nearly one o u t o fe v e r y three Chicano families i n nonmetropolitan A m e r i c a is officially poor. And, every other Black family in nonmetropolitan A m e r i c a is officially poor!" H e n r y echoed t h e sentiment of n e a r l y e v e r y conference speaker w h e n he decried t h e disproportionate attention g i v e n t o U r b a n a s opposed t o Rural Housing. Instead o f stressing the dichotomy however as did other speakers, the Mississippi political activist pointed o u t that the real message is n o tjust that the r u r a l areas a n d small

B l a c k Caucus By Lonnie Kashif M.S. Washington Bureau W A S H I N G T O N , D.C. - After a curious lull i n joint activity, ending with t h e abandonment of i t s official office, B l a c k Caucus members resurfaced again last week a t a press conference called t o reaffirm the group's position o n military justice. IN READING a prepared statement, Congressman Ronald V . Dellums, D-Calif., expressed t h e Caucus' recognition a n d satisfaction with the recent Pentagon Task Force comfirmation of previous reports o f rampant racism within the military service. T h ereport, D e l l u m s said, supports t h e v a l i d i t y o f the Caucus recommendations made to thePresident i n M a y of 1 9 7 1 , a n d t h e documentations o f t h e Caucus hearings o n R a c i s m i n t h e Military just a year ago. The Caucus n o w calls f o r a n early meeting with the n e w Secretary o f Defense, Elliot Richardson, t o discuss a "timetable for implementation of p r o g r a m s t o alleviate these rising tensions" as exemplified by t h e recent racial confrontations o n the Kitty H a w k a n dConstellation Naval vessels. The Caucus members suggested that had the P e n tag o n a u t h o r i t i e s responded to t h e. earlier Caucus recommendations, t h e

towns have more than their share o f b a d housing, b u t that they have "just plain 'more' of the bad housing." Calling f o r m o r e "subsidized" housing as a partial answer tothe problem, Henry, like Richard Margolis, chairman of R H Aand D r . George Rucker, research director, criticized t h e inclusion of the "mobile homes" i n the catagory o f housing statistics designed t o show that the Federal Housing programs a r e meeting their o w n standards.

recent flair ups m i g h t have been averted. Another reason offered f o r t h e increasing tension and failure i n effective implementation was the failure oftheDeputy Secretary for Equal Opportunity t o gain direct access t o t h e Secretary of Defense. D e l l u m s said that t h e Caucus supported the Task Force recommendation that t h e

Deputy Secretary be elevated to Assistant Secretary f o r Equal Opportunity, thus hurdling a bureaucratic roadblock. " W e have deep regret h o w e v e r , " D e l l u m s said, that Donald Miller follows i n line, the rapid succession o f resignations o f E q u a l Opportunity Officers.

Margolis pointed o u t that b e t w e e n 1960 a n d 1970 m o b i l e homes m o r e than doubled their share o f the total housing supply, accounting f o r m o r e than o n e fifth o f a l l n e w dwelling units, priced below $15,000. The Mobile home industry, he warned, appears t o be seeking ways to get anti-poverty m o n e y b y billing itself as a n alternative to "shacks and slums." Instead, he continued, " f a r f r o m being a solution, mobile homes a r e part o f the problem." The mobile homes follow the "filter-down theory" of Nixonomics, Margolis said. That is, i n the same w a y the flow o f used cars trickle d o w n to t h e poor. " A s they depreciate, mobile homes move out o f well-kept parks into the rural slums. M a n y hauling firms have made m o n e y b y regularly shipping discarded mobile homes f r o m relatively affluent areas t o indigent sections like Appalachia," he said. Rucker, w h opicked up t h e t h e m e o f subsidy, stressed a s an imperative by Henry, emphasized public ownership

" A single, direct subsidy," he contended would help t h e government recover outlay a n dreduce t h e total subsidy costs. T h e conference speakers also touched o n t h e semantics o f the t e r m s relating t o poverty, which often determines h o w Federal agencies respond w i t h financial assistance. Henry made a note o f t h e conference's m o r n i n g session titled T h e R u r a l Housing Crisis. " I told t h e M c G o v e r n Committee t w o years ago," he said, " t h a t t h e w o r d 'crisis' implies a temporary situation, and f o r t h e people living i nthe nation's worst housing, there is nothing temporary about itâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's not a 'crisis'â&#x20AC;&#x201D;it's a scandal that a country w i t h a trillion dollar economy ought to beashamed of." The conference committees drafted 45 pages o f resolutions in t h e final session. These included a call f o rexpansion of public housing t o meet t h e n e e d o f 150,000 u n i t s y e a r l y .

T h e C i t i e s : Gift o r d e a t h t r a p ? By Donald Mosby Part 2

CHICAGO — The flight by fear ridden whites to escape living in the same communities with Blacks has created a number of seperate cities within America's urban cores. In the final part of this series MUHAMMAD SPEAKS examines the grave problems confronting the cities that Blacks are virtually being given. One thing appears to be unalterably clear, the decay and other probems of the urban centers, leads directly to the question what have Blacks won in their take over of the inner cities? The shifting populations have enabled Black voters to engage in a sort o f s y m b o l i c Blackness. B u t thus far, very little that i s meaningful has resulted f r o m t h e influx o f large numbers o f Blacks into public offices. But f e wo f these politicans appear willing t o sever t h e ties that bind. Indeed m o s t of t h e m continue t o "serve t h e white masters" while doing very little t o represent t h e voters w h o put t h e m in office." A t the same t i m e these Black office holders don't represent the people w h o put t h e m there. T h e people continue t o return these " d o nothing officials"t o office. A n u m b e r o f explanations have been offered

for this b u t somehow t h e excuses fall f a r short o f clearing the m a t t e r up. It i s true that whites a r e fleeing t h e cities i n wholesale lots, t oescape Blacks, but they have been joined i n recent years b y a growing number of Blacks, w h o are fleeing for the same reason. Those w h o ' v e been attempting t o create the m y t h of a B l a c k m o n o l i t h have, i t would appear, forgotten that caste a n d class i s a v e r y important factor i n Black America. This caste a n d class striving has seriously i m p a i r e d t h e success of any Black m o n o l i t h . T h e fight against restrictive covenants was waged i n order

to provide decent housing f o r B l a c k people. F o r years t h e white s l u m lord w a s a hated figure i n Black A m e r i c a . I n the 'years since then t h e 1946 decision opened u p t h e cities and a great m a n y Blacks have 'become slumlords themselves. Whites a r e fleeing, a n d i n most cases they a r e leaving Blacks w i t h decaying, or, dead cities. I n m o s t o f t h e cities where Blacks have enough, votes t o elect Black M a y o r s the t a x base h a s been greatly eroded, a n d i n some very serious instances like N e w a r k , N.J. most o f t h e housing Blacks occupy is falling apart. In every city where there isa large Black majority, a n d the m a j o r i t y o fthe school children are Black, the school system i s virtually falling apart. Chicago, N e w Y o r k , N e w a r k , Cleveland, Detroit a r e merely a f e w o f t h ecities that a r ea l l experiencing t h e same problems w i t h their school systems. Chronic unemployment plagues m o s t o f the cities that population shifts have given t o Blacks. A s w h i t e residents fled to t h e suburbs jobs a n d industry followed them.

Support Muhammad's Program

Editor's note: This timely, up to the minute, and accurate article is reprinted by popular request from the July 2 9 , 1966 issue of Muhammad Speaks newspaper.

B y E l i j a h Muhammad Messenger of Allah This history of Jesus that the white man teaches the B l a c k man—that he had a miraculous birth (without the agency of a male of flesh and blood)—is used to cause misunderstanding of the truth of the physical birth and death of Jesus. B E I N G S L A V E S who could not read nor write, and kept in this condition (non-educated) for over 300 y e a r s , made our fathers ignorant to the knowledge of the theology (the true meanings) of the Bible. But, today, God has appeared in the P e r s o n of M a s t e r F a r d Muhammad, to Whom praise is due forever, to teach us this lost knowledge of the truth. The white people are c o n t i n u a l l y — i n t h i s d a y of enlightenment of the truth of everything—trying to keep the socalled Negro blind, deaf, and dumb, by preaching Jesus as being God, Himself, and that he died for the world of their evil kind.

Meanwhile, they are at their wit's end today, trying to find peace for their troubled hearts. They are charged with killing the righteous and the prophets of God, because of their hatred for the truth and righteousness, which these prophets preached among them. They are the same today, as they were yesterday. They still hate the righteous, and one missioned as a Messenger from God. They seek the death of the righteous. T H E 9TH verse of the 17th Chapter of St. John, gives the lie to Jesus giving his life for the wicked world of white mankind. He did not even pray for the evil world —not to say that he gave his life for them. But his prayer was only for those whom he converted: that God keep them in the way of righteousness and out of the wickedness of the wicked world of the Caucasian.

I quote his words: " I pray not fc the world, but for them which the hast given me; for they are thin< And all mine are thine, and thin are mine; and I a m glorified i them." (9th and 10th verses of tfc same chapter) If Jesus did not pray for th wicked world, how can we say he s loved the world that he gave his lif for the world? The 11th verse says, and I quote "And now I am no more in tb world," meaning the world of ev people that he was trying 1 convert. "But these are in th world, and I come to thee"meaning he dies like every man an returns to his Maker. I N T H E 18th verse of the s a n chapter, he still repeats this —th: he was sent and not come < himself, in these words: "As the hast sent me into the world, even:

have I also sent them into the world." He continues in his prayer, putting himself entirely upon his Sender. This is the blindness with which the white man has blinded the Black man, leaving him alone to understand the scripture face value, as he reads it. The Revelation of St. John 1:11.1 quote: " I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last." They refer to Jesus as saying this on his return from death. The same thing is being preached now, from the coming of Allah, in the Person of Master F a r d Muhammad, that He is the F i r s t , and He is the L a s t . H e r e the words have two meanings, and times and places. I n the time of Jesus, who was from the Black Nation, of whom the scripture teaches was a Jew, but a Jew is not an original people,

therefore these words apply to a member of the Aboriginal people of the earth—that they are first in human form. T H E Y A R E the same words used by Master F a r d Muhammad, to Whom praises are due forever, but having two meanings. Number one, He is One and part of the Black Nation, which is the first and the last. Secondly, the words mean that: I a m the F i r s t God, and Saviour, and Friend of yours—and, the Last God, Saviour, and Friend to you (the Lost Found so-called American Negroes). The 18th verse of the 1st Chapter of the Revelation of St. John reads like this: " I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore." This does not refer now to the God, but refers to one of the mentally dead Negroes, who had been dead to the knowledge of truth and self and God—and now has been brought to life (knowledge), and, has now been given authority over mental death in these words: "and have the keys of hell and of death." The keys mean authority and wisdom of how to execute the authority, "...of hell" means the condition of the people of his, in

hell, under a people who had killed them mentally. This key he says, and I quote: "...and of death" does not mean the natural, literal death that comes to everyone, but it means that this key of authority and enlightenment would destroy the death of ignorance and the mental death of the people of God, in hell. Not a burning, literal, fiery hell, as the reader may think, but a hell of condition of life—being deprived of the essential things of life. N E V E R T A K E this prophecy as being of Jesus of 2,000 years ago. When a man understands the word of God spoken through the mouth of prophets, he is safe from being deceived by the arch deceiver (the devil). There is no such thing as a return of physical flesh and blood and bone from its physical death. This is against the law of God, in which He has made us. Jesus was only a prophet.

That action w a s a clear demonstration that w ea r e o n their side a n d that w e understand t h e relationship between their struggle a n d ours and that w ea r ewilling t o D u D O I S : O n the first question get out there and d o something in t e r m s of our aid and support about i t .

STILL PLAYING the godfather, French president Georges Pompidou greets tribal chiefs of Togo while oh a n official visit. O n tour of France's former colonies in West Africa, little can be expected of the French leader in the form of aid to the Blacks as France has been actively participating in aid to the South African racist regime. During its colonialist'rule era, France did little to raise the standard of living of the people in Togo w h o live primarily in rural areas.

THIS IS A MIGRANT workers shack one of hundreds that are found all over the country. The scene above is most often conjured up w h e n one thinks of the South and its disadvantaged Blacks. But the children shown here are a long w a y from the South. The shack is located in N e w York state, in rural Wayne county. One of the most discriminated against groups, in America, is the migrant worker. Each state has numerous health a n d sanitation l a w s concerning the treatment of animals up to and including how animals are to be taken to market. This great concern however appears to fall short where people come in. The young girl sweeping the floor here is nine years old, and has never been to school. This is typical of the plight of thousands of migrant children, in America. (Photo courtesy of Housing Assistance Council, S. Landrigan)

The IVIuslim P r o g r a m W h a t the Muslims W a n t This is the question asked most frequently by both the whites and the blacks. The answers to this question I shall state as simply as possible. 1. We want freedom. We want a full and complete freedom. 2. We want justice. Equal justice under the law. We want justice applied equally to all, regardless of creed or class or color. 3. We want equality of opportunity. We want equal membership in society with the best in civilized society. 4. We want our people in America whose parents or grandparents were descendants from slaves, to be allowed to establish a separate state or territory of their own—either on this continent or elsewhere. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to provide such land and that the area must be fertile and minerally rich. We believe that our former slave masters are obligated to maintain and supply our needs in this separate territory for the next 20 to 25 years—until we are able to produce and supply our own needs. Since we cannot get along with them in peace and equality, after giving them 400 years of our sweat and blood and receiving in return some of the worst treatment human beings have ever experienced, we believe our contributions to this land and the suffering fotced upon us by white America,

1. WE BELIEVE in the One Sod Whose proper Name is Allah. 2. WE BELIEVE in the Holy Qur -an and in the Scriptures of all the Prophets of God. 3. WE BELIEVE in the truth of the Bible, but we believe that it has been tampered with and must be reinterpreted so that mankind will not be snared by the falsehoods that have been added to it 4. WE BELIEVE in Allah's Prophets and the Scriptures they brought to the people. 5. WE BELIEVE in the resurrection of the dead—not in physical resurrection—but in mental resurrection. We believe that the so -called Negroes are most in need of mental resurrection: therefore, they will be resurrected first. Furthermore, we believe we are the people of God's choice, as it has been written, that God would choose the rejected- and the despised. We can find no other persons f'tting this description in these last days more than the so caFed Negroes in America. We believe in the resurrection of the righteous. 6. WE BELIEVE in the judgment: we believe this first judgment will take place as God revealed, in America. . . 7. WE BELIEVE this is the time in history for the

justifies our demand for complete separation in a state or territory of our own. 5. We want freedom for all Believers of Islam now held in federal prisons. We want freedom for all black men and women now under death sentence in innumerable prisons in the North as well as the South. We want every black man and woman to have the freedom to accept or reject being separated from the slave master's children and establish a land of their own. We know that the above plan for the solution of the black and white conflict is the best and only answer to the problem between two people. 6. We want an immediate end to the police brutality and mob attacks against the so -called Negro throughout the United States. We believe that the Federal government should intercede to see that black men and women tried in white courts receive justice in accordance with the laws of the land—or allow us to build a new nation for ourselves, dedicated to justice, freedom and liberty 7. As long as we are not allowed to establish a state or territory of our own. we demand not only equal justice under the laws of the United States, but equal employment opportunities—NOW!

separation of the so -called Negroes and the so -called white Americans. We believe the black man should be freed in name as well as in fact. By this we mean that he should be freed from the names imposed upon him by his former slave masters. Names which identified him as being the slave master's slave. We believe that if we are free indeed, we should go in our own people's names—the black peoples of the earth. 8. WE BELIEVE in justice for all. whether in God or nr we believe as others, that we are due equal justice as hum beings. We believe in equality—as a nation—of equals. Wt do not believe that we are equal with our slave masters in the status of "freed slaves". We recognize and respect American citizens as independent peoples and we respect their laws which govern this nation. 9. WE BELIEVE that the offer of integration is hypocritical and is made by those who are trying to deceive the black peoples into believing that their 400 year -old open enemies of freedom, justice and equality are, all of a sudden, their "friends". Furthermore, we believe that such deception is intended to prevent black people from realizing that the time in history has arrived

I1IUI1MUI.L LLIUMII I VI \J I If MESSENGER OF ALLAH We do not believe that after 400 years of free or nearly free labor, sweat and blood, which has helped America become rich and powerful, that so many thousands of black people should have to subsist on relief, charity or live in poor houses. 8. We want the government of the United States to exempt our people from ALL taxation as long as we are deprived of equal justice under the laws of the land. 9. We want equal education—but separate schools up to 16 for boys and 18 for girls on the condition that the girls be sent to women's colleges and universities. We want all black children educated, taught and trained by their own teachers. Under such schooling system we believe we will make a better nation of people. The United States government should provide, free, all necessary text books and equipment, schools and college buildings. The Muslim teachers shall be left free to teach and train their people in the way of righteousness, decency and self respect. 10. We believe that intermarriage or race mixing should be prohibited. We want the religion of Islam taught without hinderance or suppression. These are some of the things that we, the Muslims, want for our people in North America.

for the separation from the whites of this nation. If the white people are truthful about their professed friendship toward the so -called Negro, they can prove it by dividing up America with their slaves. We do not believe that America will ever be able to furnish enough jobs for her own millions of unemployed, in addition to jobs for the 20.000.000 black people as well. 10. WE BELIEVE that we who declared ourselves to be righteous Muslims, should not participate in wars which take » lives of humans. We do not believe this nation should us to take part In such wars, for we have nothing to .rom it unless America agrees to give us the necessary iei, ory wherein we may have something to fight for. 11 WE BELIEVE our women should be respected and protected as the women of other nationalities are respected and protected 12. WE BELIEVE that Allah (God) appeared in the Person of Master W. Fard Muhammad, July, 1930; the long -awaited "Messiah" of the Christians and the "Mahdi" of the Muslims. We believe further and lastly that Allah is God and besides HIM there is no God and He will bring about a universal government of peace wherein we all can live in peace together.
