THE INDIANAPOLIS RECORDER
Recent survey showsNegro attitudes are hardening
A Harvard sociologist and student of Negro opinion believes that 5 to 20 percent of the black populations (from 1 to 4 million people) hold attitudes indicating a depth of estrangement and bitterness unique in American history.** Dr. Gary T. Marx, an assistant professor in the department of social relations, updating a widely circulated analysis published two years ago, says “the relative proportion is growing and increases noticeably among the young and those in the North.” But he also says “much of the anger which exists remains directed toward inclusion in the system.” He reports that most blacks favor integration, oppose indiscriminate violence and are “not consistently anti-white or anti-Semitic “would seem still to hold in 1969, if perhaps not as strongly.” Dr. Marx had directed a University of California survey of attitudes in major Negro centers in October, 1964, under auspices of the AntiDefamation Leagues of B'nai B'rith. This was published in October, 1967, as a book, “Protest and Prejudice: A study of Belief in the Black Community,” by Harper and Row. In a foreword, Baynard Rustin, civil rights leader, affirmed that Dr. Marx's study “tells it like it is.”
ing two national and 34 city samples. The recent samplings of Negroes* attitudes, Dr. Marx says indicate that “As in the 1964 study* a sizable proposition continues to be optimistic about the change that has occurred and the possibilities of future change.” He analyzes some of the findings as follows: - Many Negroes believe riots as protests “help bring about change,** bit the overwhelming majority prefer nonviolent to violent means other than in cases of self-defense.” He adds, “in many cases this is for strategic rather than moral reasons.” - The “level of black dissatisfaction is quite high** as compared with whites, and grievances about “employ^ ment, housing, police crime, merchants, schools, garbage collection and recreation facilities reoccur across the
cities.*’
- Negroes* “concern over lack of adequate police protection and (over) police brutality continued to be high.** Dr. Marx reports “A highly consistent finding has been the marked disparity between blacks and whites on certain
items.**
“Many of the interracial differences,** he says, “with respect to ideas about the treatment of blacks; the amount of progress; the worth of demonstrations; integrated schools and housing;; the
cause, meaning and consequences of riots; and the type of ameliorative action re - quired are astounding and can lead to deeply pessimistic conclusions. “They indicate a profound lack of communications and the absence of understanding or compassion among a very large portion of the white pub~
lie.*’
Dr. Marx says observers “generally** assuming that Negro mass attitudes have changed may be forming impressions on the basis of dramatic acts and pronouncements by extremists “who may claim to speak on behalf of the masses and who may be adept at press relations.*’ “Give the Press's desire for sensationalism, the more extreme and loudly pronounced a statement or action, the greater may be the media
attention,*’ he says.
“White inferences about the homogeneity of opinion among blacks are made easier by already existing patterns of racially sterotyped thinking.** But Dr. Marx says “the mass of moderate Negroes are not herd, except in public opinion polls or occasional local elections.*’ He notes the electoral defeats of LeRoi Jones for a seat on Newark's Model Cities Neighborhood Council and of James Farmer for Congress in Brooklyn despite their celebrity as Negro ac-
tivists.
“Between 1964 and 1968*’ Dr. Marx writes, “the relative power of the more militant groups seems to have

Mrs. Juanita Abernathy, wife of Dr. Ralph David Abernathy, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, will speak Saturday, November 1, 9:30 a.m., at the Operation Breadbasket Meeting at St. John Missionary Baptist Church,
1701 Martindale.
Mrs. Abernathy will speak on the women’s role in the civil rights struggle. Born at Uniontown, Ala., she is the mother of three children. Fifteen years ago when the Montgomery bus boycott began, Mrs. Abernathy became a tireless and popular leader in the non-violent movement. Always by the side of her husband, just as Mrs. Coretta King was always at the side of the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Mrs. Abernathy fully understand the indignities by our nation’s
poor.
summarized here suggests that there has not been a comparable increase in mass
support.
“However, relatively small size need not imply a lack of effectiveness, nor does it have much bearing on the negative power to disrupt. “Demands by radical blacks can pull more moderate leaders to the left and also by contrast make them more acceptable to the white esta-
blishment,” he says.
He concludes: “Opinions are changing - if not fast enough for the most radical, certainly much too fast for the
most conservative.”

New inner-city plan offered by schools’ head The superintendent of Indianapolis public schools, Dr. Stanley C. Campbell last week-end, presented before the Indianapolis Society for Intensified Education a transitional schooling for innercity preschool and primary level youngsters and also their
parents.
Dr. Campbell’s proposal embraces health and social services, education and recreation for youngsters and for adults in a common neighborhood center. Further, he proposes: A health and social service department . . . providing health advisors and a social worker . . . both working closely with families in counseling as well as making referrals to other social and health agencies. The department of education and recreation for youth would include an approach ranging from infant or even pre-natal advice and home instruction through an updated kindergarten and reading center. The department of education and recreation for adults would provide not only courses in classrooms but employment counseling. Cooperating with Indianapolis Model Cities in arranging and educational charette the school board will participate in a program leading to the designing of the new community center. The director of planning and researchfor Model Cities, Michael A. Carroll has ventued that a site at 25th and Ralston in the Hillside area may be recommended for new center or school. AHS night school offers special typing course Special classes to teach students to type in eight (8) weeks are scheduled to begin at Attucks High School Monday, November 3. Classes will meet two nights a week from 6:00 to 9:30 p.m. Charles D. Walker, director of the evening division says this is the eighth time these classes have gained the skills generally mastered in sixteen (16) weeks. Registration will continue through this week and again next Monday and Tuesday evenings, November 3 and 4. BOTH WAYS. Want Ads pay.
