Kennedy Sees All-Volunteer Army Favored to Gate Negroes
Sen Edward M Kennedy suggested that whites back an all volunteer army as a cheap way to avoid sending black youths to war. Marion Barry of Pride Inc argued blacks avoid service due to limited job prospects and a U S morality perceived as unworthy. Kennedy noted higher black reenlistment and questioned outside options while Barry warned of growing black organizations pushing these ideas.
