Randolph Blames Negro Leaders For Los Angeles Riots
AFL CIO official A Philip Randolph says Los Angeles riots were partially caused by failing Negro leadership. He urges national black leaders to recruit and empower drug and alcohol addicts as natural leaders to guide peers away from substance abuse. He notes riots were police clashes in Watts, not racial war, and backs cooperation with white allies. He cites recent civil rights gains and urges a Title 7 amendment to boost EEOC enforcement.
