Black Nationalists Propose Five-State Negro Nation
Detroit AP reports a group of black nationalists ratified a declaration of independence for a separate Negro nation, electing fugitive expatriate Robert F Williams as its first president. About 50 delegates signed, renouncing U S citizenship and naming Mississippi Alabama Georgia Louisiana and South Carolina as territory. The Malcolm X Society hopes the U S government will yield. A wake for 16 year old Larry Payne was set, as Memphis police imposed a curfew after MLK Jr led a riot supporting striking garbage workers. Vandalism and disturbances followed through the night.
