U.S. Negroes
. Sir,—Mrs Long, viewing the ; world from her luxury trailer and “off-the-beaten-track” villa, has made some reveal- ’ tag observations. Regardless of intelligence and personal ; qualities, Negroes cannot advance themselves in the so- ’ called opportunity State because of their generally poor educational. background. Schools in the “nice” suburbs -get boosted by local funds, - while equivalent schools in E Negro areas are starved of all I but the barest essentials. Jobs, . property, and the good life r as seen on advertisements are - still surrounded by white proI tective barriers. Mrs Long > complains of Negro militancy, : but her own views, if read by i Negroes instead of New Zealand housewives, would be
enough to turn the most moderate into a raging militant.— Yours, etc.,
ANITA LILBURN. B. P. LILBURN. August 25, 1969.
