Farmer Explains Black Power and Four Point Plan
In a Long Gymnasium speech, the speaker defined black power as a movement to build Negro identity and economic political power, not anti white. He cited World War II education and Africa’s new nations as drivers of self identity and proposed a four point program: federal slum removal funds, training for unemployed Negroes, education expansion, and creation of many non professional jobs. About 150 attendees later questioned him in the ballroom for an hour.

Language Poetry Music Speakers Project Trends
Mario Pei urged a universal language to begin in kindergartens, making children fully bilingual and gradually shaping culture, though it might not bring world peace. Donald Hall traced postwar American poetry trends, highlighting the ascent of the “strong writers” and a rhythmic “ballad of the syllable” in verse. Dr. Leonard Meyer predicted art, including music, would enter an era of stasis, reworking known practices rather than new innovations, with formalism as a middle ground between traditionalism and transcendentalism.
