Black Manifesto targets churches in push for reparations
James Forman, 40, the Black Manifesto author, says churches and synagogues are central targets in a demand for 500 million dollars in reparations. Read at a Detroit conference, the document calls funds for a Southern land bank, a Negro University, publishing ventures, and Africa development, while urging disruption of church-sponsored agencies until demands are met.

Black militants demand endowment funds at L A church
Thirty five black militants entered St John’s Episcopal Church in Los Angeles after service and demanded 60 percent of the endowment be given to the National Black Economic Conference. Leader Brother Crook warned that tactics will change and said they are willing to die for the demands. The group handed five demands to Rev. Robert Iles and left after a confrontation. The seven day deadline remained, with Rev Carter away until June.
