Harlem Congreaaman AdamClayton PoweU kept some5,000 persons applauding herethis week aa he defined "BlackPower," suggested a TedKennedy - Julian Bond Ticketfor 1972 and urged the purgingof "Uncle Toms and Aunt
Jemimas" from the ranks ofNegro leadership.
"Black Power ia not antiwhite except when white peo-ple are anti-black," the Con-gressman explained. "We
(Negroes) don't believe in vio-lence, nor deo we believe ittotal non-violence," suggestingthat "anybody that believes in
total non-violence is a damnfool.' :
Powell appeared at Tusk eg eeInstitute under the auspices of
an Interim Committee whichplanned a variety of activitiesfor students remaining on cam-pus for the interim betweenthe first and second semester.
Discussing "Esack Power" atlength, Powell said: "Blackpower means black dignity...it means black is beautiful...
black power means we wantequality, Now!"
Powell called for more and
new Negro leadership, pointingout that there was "not a singleNegro organization of anymeaning" where Negroes werein control. He called on youngwhite militants" to "come and
follow us (Negroes). And whynot," Powell asked. "We haveearned the right."
Powell, who was recentlyallowed to recalim his congres-
sional seat after being fined and
stripped in his 22 years ofseniority, called for a TedKennedy - Julian Bond ticketin 1972. Such a ticket, PoweUsaid, would "for the first timegive us the kind of republicand democracy that this nationhas never had before."
