Robert F Williams to Testify Before Senate Panels
Black nationalist Robert F Williams agrees to testify again before the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee and the Subversive-Hunting Subcommittee. In exchange the Justice Department is asked not to prosecute him on a contempt citation for last summer’s refusal to appear. Williams faces a North Carolina hate kidnapping charge from Monroe, extradition sought, but tied up in Michigan court proceedings. He fled the United States, lived in Cuba and Asia, and returned in 1969 to Detroit as president of the Republic of New Africa.
