November 14, 1974 Dear friend's ), We are sure you share our outrage at the recent outbursts of racist violence in Boston. Certainly the ugly sight of mob attacks on black school children is sickening to the vast majority of Bostonians as well as to all people everywhere who are for elementary democratic rights. But the forces of prejudice and reaction all over the country are emboldened by this spectacle. They are mobilizing in every• corner of the U.S. using these events as their rallying cry. Their code word is anti-busing. But in reality their organizing tool is racist hysteria. The bigots have gained strength and confidence from the fact that there has been no sufficiently massive outcry against these attacks. Many who are opposed to them and would speak out for basic human rights have been intimidated into silence. So far it is those anti-democratic forces who have had the momentum and the spotlight. They may remain quiet for a while but their threat and their organization remain intact. We cannot allow them to continue to appear to speak for the majority. THEY DO NOT But that impression will continue until all of us, who are supporters of the struggle against racism, publicly take a stand. We believe that the urgency of the situation requires the broadest possible demonstration bringing together from all over the country the maximum number of people who are against the mob attacks on black school children and who are for the right of these children to go to any school in safety . The Emergency Committee for a National Mobilization Against Racism in its few short weeks of existence has reached hundreds of individuals and organizations who have agreed to join together in sponsoring such a nationally called peaceful mass action. (Some of their names appear on the partial list of sponsors that follows.) Such a mobilization is a monumental task and we urge you to lend your names s) and your efforts to help make it successful. Please come to Boston on December 14 and be part of an historic Freedom March for Human Dignity. Help organize others to come from your area. And donate whatever you can to help defray the enormous organizing costs. We are confident that if everyone pulls together we can turn the situation around and make Boston a symbol of anti-racism. • Name ❑ I support the National Mobilization Against Racism.

Nobel Peace Prize – shortlist2017 We could no longer allow the selection process to remain secret. The Norwegian selection committee keeps a lid on everything for 50 years. Its best kept secret is the specific peace vision Nobel wished to support.
