The Black delegates now realize the power-
less position of Black people in this society,
and that is little hope of exerting any power
in institutions created and controlled by
white people. We as Black people must all come
to that realization, for in these institutions
we are totally at the mercy of a people who hav
shown no moral conscience for the wrongs they
-ye guilty of. No race of people is so super-
‘or or so moral that they. have the right to
control the lives of another. Therefore, we
must remove the right to control the lives of
another. Therefore, we must remove ourselves
from such bondage, and we must end the abuse
of Black people. We must acquire land and
resources, and develop institutions in order to
gain control over the destiny of our lives and
enhance the :lignity and respect of all Black
peopfe.

around Watts' motion there was an amendment
to the motion. This amendment was that the
Black Caucus, the fund and reconcilliation
committee, world service committee and the
program council meet to determine how much
should and can be appropriated to minority
communities and to formulate the adminis-—
trative arrangements. These groups in turn
would bring back these arrangements to be
voted on by the conference. The only thing
that was acceptable to the Black Caucus was
the amount to be appropriated. This amount
was 6% of the conference's total budget,
$54,000: $50,00 from the World Service
Committee and $50,000 from the program cou-
: ncil. However, on that day, Watts presentec

man, Frank Steach who
resigned.

When naming the Black man
to the post, Mayor Joseph
McDowell praised Daniel for
his many qualifications which
are: twenty - five years on the
force and the achievement of
promotions to the ranks of #™
detective and major.

As major, he headed all of
the police department’s
investigative operations.
