The deceptions and game
of racial injustice in South­

liar to us. Over the years,
Black America has played

American foreign policy.
ot only will a just, sound
foreign policy help deter­
mine the prospertiy and
curity of the entire coun­
try, and all its' citizens,
but it is directly related
in intricate ways to our
fundamental elfare and
struggle against racial dis­
crimination. B1ack America
has an in terest in the

than any other group of
