DR . MARTIN KING (Continued #2) ti"iolence in the wgrld~ ." For those who 'kriei~ - the 'man and the depth of his non-violent con-" ~.~ietians, this was the admission of grave incertitude and defeat, But a dangerous defeat for whom? Least nor the Blacks of the ghettos, who lead, by their own pressure, pushed the apostle of .non»violence to take on such a poszt~;.c~n, . :` `Mostly foz the white power structfuxe, In Autumn, 1966`, Dr, King decided 'to push his offensive of non»vialence in the North by beginning in Chicago, He prepared a march on Cicerd`(a section of Chicago), then calhed it off at :the last minute after the local authorities made a promise of concessions . Two years later, ;, the uprising that overflowed in the supportive march for the garbage collectors of Memphis could no longer afford an occasion for suprise . :. . King, in e~- ~:ect, had to count mo.~g and more on pressure excercised by ;$~o~Cely Car- ~ichael and numexous othex Chris» vian leaders of the South ; even SNCC had remained non-violent only as long as the weight of oppression had allowed . King himself was walking a tight- 7_°ope . His is the tragedy of Black, liberals,ir~ a society based on ;seg» ; : negation . Reduced .to making 'comp-, ! ; ; r~mises :from all sides, at the same 4i~e ._ .h.e ;had to relay the challenge ;that a new generation :of ~3lacks ,had , : , flung at him, _alb, the -.wh l .~ ~~ntQxtwining the liberal illusionv that the "integrationist,d3.alogue" was still po Bible . From there we go on to the real causes of King's death- ., It .was ,irk- . :;erted on the AmeXa.can calendar- :. a : , few days before Johnson;'s, : ~ '"peace ~affensive" in Vietnam ; this was not by accident . The "hawks," the American army which wa~~ hum lia't.ec~ ,by , , a loss of initiative :,,-;~qu.xvalent to . r defeat in the famous ~ T~at~}Offensive, and the ; tensions betw~e~r~ t~aoae : .wha_ . earned their livelihood through the nar and those who; ; ~uaoted : ;'.'geaGe", , slid not spare this ~. .~la~~C libexal .hrham ,:hey had expected, better _of; - .

Tn effect, the lattex-,;s3nce :his return has been practi~Eing :;th~ ' Len» mist tactics of alla.ance, .;between revolutionaries and non-revolutionaries ." ~v Urr3aed~ with K~.ng, the xevolutionaries could take the initiative ail the more, as they then : :had at their disposal theeBlv~k masse whom King could cause to~move intothe struggle . With King dead :they (the white power) thought they could make the "L31ack mdr~stera" leave theix "jungles" so bheyr':oould be offed by racists . : ;: Kingcs. death could serve ~. : . as a ;~us~tification for repression against Black '"extrem ists ." But, in fact, the revolutionaries have shown that with or w,i,thout, King they have th+~ ` in tiative . . .,if King'had to Pay with his life for the difficult" task of Black Unification ., . . .in .,the United States, his mux~der is .already achieving results ; the coming together of lack Amexicans is a more fitting tribute : to the goal of Martin Luther King's life work than all the useless eulogies that have been wx3tten after ,him.

Why must II] ack People un te? °This is a question that many Black Amenicarxs axe asking themselves today .. The .a:nswer is that we ,must unite i~a. order : to s, ~ vive,- in order o pr :esen :a common" frcar~t to Qux appress4.x"s; : . Why did the Vietr~amese . un te? Why did they feelthey, needed aNational Liberation Fr.or~t? I~o all Vietnamese have ~~e same interests? Let us cake a nook at the Nation-~ a~ Libex,atiora .Fxant (NLFj in South V3,etnam : ~ Tnsa;de .the front ,you ~r~,'il find'Catholics, Communists, Buck- . dhists, capitalist,, workers, peas ants,, and soei-alis~s . Each group has d f~'erent self-interests which it vaax~ts-, tci , pxoteot . - Then ,why .do Vietnamese corns together? They come together because ..r .the~r have Y r....~..~ .- _ ~cotamota -interest , wh~.ch ~s more im- , portant than all of their d fferen- ~ "~++I ~ r~+~ err ~rrrrr . ces put together, and that interest lies in ;seeing ,white. American im- ; pezialism driven : . out, of their country . No .-one group of Vietnamese itself . , whether it be Communest,,or :Capitalist, or IIuddhist,, or Socialist, is capable .af~dxiv ng the ; white. man ,out of . their country, The Vietnamese realize ths;t the on,ly way to figlat the war is to . join : together in a common-front which u~ nites all those who can be united, and neutralizes or isolates those who cannot ox will not be brought over . , This-' is the way a united frotat works . When, we ].ook at our situation in the United .~tates, we see that the overriding contradiction in Amexiaa today is ; that between the Black,Nationalist oppressors . No one would d+sny that there., are dif~exences with the Blank Nation, but just as in the ,case of th~x~ Va:etnacrnese, . the common interest w-e have is - `the s,.,~:ur , v,oval of the Black Nation far ou~cweigli these difference's . ;vie have Uncle Toms, certainly, but'they-can , ~ . , . in . n o~ . ~a,y ?ae co, pared ta, Ch~.ang Kai~shsk, because no : :L31ac1~ .g~er sQnr in America ~has,~v r "~ws~. .. . ~3~ t3~e power which Ch3;ang ,{ai-shek once. had. . Arid history shows that even though~Chiang Kai-s ek was a trait- or to the cause oaE tainese people, Mao Tse--tang was able to unite with him in a common front when China was invaded b~ Japan in 1935 . didN ~-NI'> C3r1aZ'c~a~'FR .;~o,~Qa~.,~, ~Hl~ WktIT~.; N1, Q i.t~ OT N$CF~SARTLY ~N OF THE , $ATTO~'S a~~Y~ r.~ .~ OM.Y ECTS T~tB P!QS ITiTON ~.~13 TH .~
