Fred Hampton, Illinois chairman of the Black Panther Party, is dead. So is Panther Mark Clark.

State's Attorney Edwin Hanrahan in a TV interview commended the officers who "bravely and with restraint" participated in the pre-dawn raid on Thursday December 4, when the shoot-out occurred.

Many in Chicago's black community and many whites are convinced that Hanrahan's men murdered Hampton as he slept.

Equal Opportunity, Janet Acton

Student Scholarship

This paper provides an extensive examination of the concept of equal opportunity within the framework of American capitalism and social structure. The author defines equal opportunity as the freedom to pursue legitimate goals, share in the rewards of labor, and preserve private property. However, the text acknowledges that while the United States views itself as a land of opportunity, the reality is often complicated by rigid class barriers and systemic inequalities. The author explores various philosophical interpretations of equality, including utilitarian views of equal shares for all and Aristotelian concepts of proportional equality based on relevant differences or moral worth. …

"Don't keep giving us things!" was the passionate, slow, soft-spoken plea of Ralph Red Fox, a Cheyenne from Lame Deer, Montana. Observing that the life of the reservation Indian is managed and controlled to the point where he feels stifled and suffocated, Red Fox claimed that the man on the reservation has had his manhood seized from him.

The Lutheran Human Relations Association notes with regret the sudden death of Dr. Franklin Clark Fry, President of the Lutheran Church in America, in June, 1968.

From 1944 until 1968 his organizing genius, his skill as a parliamentarian, and his creativeness were applied towards meeting the organizational demands of that era in such national and international bodies as the National Council of Churches, the World …

All that God has prepared for and wills to give to man may be summarized in these two words: heaven and earth.

In this connection, "heaven" is the divine, unmerited favor of God which includes the eradication of just judgment upon sin, man's restoration to sonship in and acceptance by God, and the hope of a resurrection from death to eternal life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

From its earliest days LHRAA has wanted to "help the church fill the role of leadership in the field of human relations assigned to her by her Lord." Specific care was taken not to isolate that ministry to problems in Negro-white relations. Accordingly we have, through the years, addressed ourselves to areas involving the Indian American, Appalachian whites, Puerto Ricans, migrant workers, victims of poverty, and others.
