its history, structure and person
mel to assist the nation in moving
down the road that will lead to

From here on,a-ths Null lead
er said, "our measuring rod must
be progress not as determined by
the previous conditions of Negro
citizens, but progress in the degree
to which we close the gap between
the Negro and his fellow citizens" I"
He cited major characteristics
of this gap as these:
y Continued migration and ur-
banization which, technically and
legally, will not cause Negro citi-
zens to face barriers to jobs, hous-
ing, education or other facilities
but which, due to historical depriv-
alton will continue to handicap
them economically and socially.
p Industrialization and automa-
ton, which will make expendable
increasing numbers of unsl1illed and
semi-skilled workers, including a
disproportionately higher ratio of
Negro employees.
81 Urban renewal, slum clear
ance and super highway construc-
ton that will dislocate Negro fam
lilies, who will become even more
segregated in sub-standard areas.
I'VE cannot allow this nation to
lull itself into a false sense of Sec
urity about the status on progress
of its race relations" said Mr..
Young.
"As an ancient Greek scholar
once said of achieving justice, we
will achieve it only when those
who are not injured are as indig-
nant as those who are"

It was a scholarly prOduc-

causes for delinquency were
these. broken homes, incom-

have no time for their chill

The sports at the schools only
utilize the most talented and
many of the youth who need
it most are left out. In the
opinion of these youths, the
