Stokely Carmichael spoke next. He said the Negro should run
the white merchants out of business because they -have been selling
the Negro rotten meat for so long and taking the Negro's money
out of the neighborhood. He said the audience e.uould have burned
them out a long time ago. He supported Minister Louis' statement
that the white man was trying to kill the Negro off by the war
and birth control pills. Both Minister Louis and Carmichael
said the press should not be allowed into Negro communities
since it distorts the truth.
Both Louis and Carmichael talked an extremely hard militant line
-with Stokely saying that the white man could supply any definitior
to "Black Power" he wanted because he has had power too long and
should know what it means.

towards both Louis X and Carmichael that it was not overly
enthusiastic in receiving what they said although quite interestec
