CORE announces nonviolent campaign for jobs in Tucson
George O Bowden, 27, new president of Tucson CORE, pledges nonviolent actions to win government and private sector jobs for poor and minority residents. He targets the Tucson Fire Department and contractors with government contracts, aims to reduce discriminatory hiring, and plans demonstrations until poverty areas gain city and private support. Bowden cites high school diploma barriers and seeks cooperation with NAACP, Arizona Civil Rights Commission, and local human relations groups.
