Editorial: A Black President in 1972 Plan
Rev. Jesse L. Jackson 29 says he will back a third party to nominate a black president in 1972. The move could weaken the Democratic Party and lead to a bargaining position for a black VP at the 1971 convention. He argues it offers an alternative beyond Nixon or Muskie and McGovern, while critics warn it would politicly segregate blacks. The piece questions the two party system and its role in American government.
