Bond on Black Leadership and Civil Rights Strategy
The remarks discuss whether the black movement should have black leadership and the need for black leadership to guide change. Bond warns against repudiating aid from white liberals while noting blacks must own their leadership and own mistakes. He predicts anger among returning Negro soldiers and potential demands for better treatment. He critiques ABM policy as a boondoggle and praises the Democratic Party for giving voice to previously unheard groups.

It also includes a local editorial stance from Lykens Pennsylvania and a Ky Frankfort AP blurb about a theft of a crime-report transmitter.
