World peace always endangered
as long as one black man is not free

By STEVE MILLER

There can be no real solutions to the
problems of blacks around the world as
long as one black man or woman does not
have the right to full selfdetermination.
said Dr C. Eric Lincoln during a speech

last night at UK' s Seay Auditorium

l incoln professor of religion
philosophy. and sociology at l'isk
l'niversity'. delivered the key note speech
of the black symposium sponsored by the
Patterson School of Diplomacy. He said
that real world peace will always be en»
dangered as long as there are blacks in the
\\ odd who are not free,

“SO LUNG as one black man is not free.
no black man is free," he said,

The historical Instances of malevolent
use of white power. worldwide and par
ticularly in Africa. have made it difficult
for the colored peoples of the world to
bring their demands to the international
decision—making arena, "The inclusion of
South Africa and the exclusion of the
People's Republic of (‘hina from the
society 0 civilized nations was from the
first a curious. if not to say an arrogant,
display of white power.

The conributions of the ( hinese people to
world civilization have been great. and
whatever the crime for which they were
excluded from the group of responsible
nationsof the world surely must have been
dwarfed by the monstrous grossness of
South Africa." he said.

LINNDLN ADDED that the assurance
that the United States would continue to
uphold nations practicing racist policies
was no longer viable, “The United States
will not continue in the role of cats paw for
the continued exploitation of the black
peoples who have had their lives or their
labor stolen." he said.

"The l'nited States no longer hasa stake
in racial exploitation at home. It is
unreasonable to assume that the United
States will continue to jeopardize its
leadership andinfluence in the world in the
interest of protecting a loser." he said.

World power must be reallocated to
assure that power does not follow racial or
color lines if the world is to achieve real
growth and peace, according to Lincoln.

"IF TIIIS IS to truly be a technicolor
world. then let the world take notice that
the power and the glory by which the
nations of the world are recognized must

lines of race or color," he said. “The black
people of Africa and the blacks who form
the African Diaspora in black America
desire to be among those who make the
responsible decisions concerning their
destiny and the world community at
large."

Lincoln said that if power is not to follow
a racial or color mold, then color or race
must first be removed as sociological and
diplomatic indicators.

“(‘olor is a most improbable evidence
for measuring any of the important
qualities or caapbilities of human beings.

“MY CONCERN is this there has been
great dissatisfaction here in Fayette
County during recent months.” said
Moloney . state senator for the 13th district.

”The government has done absolutely
nothing to solve the problems of this
community since April of this year when
the ordinance gutting the minimum wage
tor tiremeii was passed." said Moloney.

“That gave firemen the unifying force
they wanted The confrontation started
then. it's goingon now. and it will continue
until some legislative solution is reached."

HE SAID the legislators had only a
