one — RE: COUNTERORIVNTAIION WEEK So as far as North Carolina is concerned in education, I can see black people moving into that area on the issue of control of black education. wh. (The following speech was made by HOWARD FULLER.) rs Evy My purpose tonight is to go off the campus now a little bit and give a brief review of what we've been doing in North Carolina. And I think that CHUCK and I ina sense appreciate the Opportunity to come over and speak tonight. We just wish y’all would have called it something else besides "counter-orientation.“ It has a connotation like “counter-revolutionary," which always gets to be a problem. And prohably what you should have called jt is the disorientation session because obviously we want people to be disoriented from what they are going to be oriented to over here at UNC. So you know, like we hope that we can help disorient some people, you know, this evening. Blea Sine sek TT FN PPL ASR NIN AS AF AI IE TTP OWN FIT S + tpl I think, you know, the initial observation, a couple Of observations I necd to make so that it will be very clear, like who we're supposed to be representing tonight and all of that, that number one, people have a tendency to assume that when somebody black stands up they can start writing, this is how hlack people think because that black man said that. Well, I want to make it very clear that I dn't know anybody, you know, that can represent all black people. And so I don't come here tonight representing all black people. I do not consider myself a leader because I do not know of anybody who had a meeting. I don't know any black people who had a meeting and elected me the leader. And one gets to be a leader by being elected. So, at best what we could all be considered are spokesmen or people who have a particular vicwpoint that may be shared by a ry asa Se het Me Se — me Ses Se = significant number of people. And I hope that some of our views are shared by a significant number of people in this state, young, old, rich, poor, student, non-students, and all those other terms that we use to describe people. 25 \ neh iiehthen Ma al To ah Bites ei) fl . apr TT rae SOR Lt MOLE ee EES
