Negroes Blame Two-Party System for Riots and Black Power
California state senator Mervyn Dymally argues that neglect by both major parties fuels Negro disillusionment and rising Black Power.

He predicts party failures could propel a presidential contest with Rockefeller or Romney appealing to minority voters.
