To survive in the business world, blacks need to learn to be competitive and to think of new ideas, black leaders and to about 100 black businessmen Saturday.
"The only way changes will come about is when we do something about ourselves first," said Elbert Anderson, director of public affairs for Coca Cola. "We have to have to prove to people that we can do the job just as well as a white man."
ANDERSON WA$ one of four speakers at a workshop on minority business
in the black community at the 11th Black Legislature Caucus Annual Conference in the Kansas Union.
The conference is sponsored each year by black legislators of Kansas: State Sen. Billy McCray, D-Wichita; and State Reps Theo Lentz, Norman Justice, D-Kansas City; and Clarence Love, D-Kansas City.
L. V. Jack Hudson, editor and publisher of the Kansas Black Journal, urged blacks to support black businesses so their communities could become economically stable.
"The only way to equality is economic parity," he said.
HE ALSO said more blacks should strive for top positions.
William Washington, corporate affirmative action officer for United Telecommunications Inc. in Kansas City, Kan., said rich boards should not flaunt their wealth to a white man they wanted to do business with because, he added, "We have worked with one of his white friends instead of wanting to add more to their income.
Hudson, who is also chairman of the Governor's Advisory Committee for Minority Business, said the reason they failed was that they did not advertise.
"Most blacks fail to recognize this it takes money to make money."
HE SUGGESTED that black businessmen advertise on television because it was the most popular medium and they could reach the audience they wanted.
Other speakers at the conference included Gov. John Carlin and William Hogan, KU associate executive vice chancellor. The legislators also led five other workshops during the day: judicial and law enforcement systems as they affect the black community; organizations that influence positive political thinking; education; community responsibilities; and the black church.
