Many more laws are needed before \"equal opportunities and justice for all\" becomes a reality.\r\n\r\nIn addition, other economic, educational, and social legislation must be passed to reach the basic causes of our many problems, other than purely civil rights. Such legislation as Federal aid-to-education, adult literacy, anti-poverty programs, expanded social security, increased old age pensions, better housing, and youth welfare are a few examples.\r\n\r\nMore Jobs Expected\r\nThat section of the new Civil Rights law pertaining to equal employment opportunities (Title VII) may bring us the most immediate benefits in California by strengthening our state Fair Employment Practices Commission (FEPC) and closing loop-holes in its coverage that should result in the creation of thousands of new job openings. I am proud that this part of the new law was the direct result of bills sponsored by Congressman James Roosevelt and myself, and the decision to include an anti-discrimination in employment provision, which was not in President Kennedy's original bill (June 1963), was upon our insistence.\r\n\r\nBut even laws upon the statute books are not enough. They must be wisely used, properly administered, and implemented with a lot of community action.\r\n\r\nIn Mississippi, Alabama, and other southern states, this may prove troublesome if not outright dangerous. And we must be ready to assist civil rights organizations in protecting our fellow citizens who daily face violence, intimidation, and mob rule.\r\n\r\nCivil Rights in California\r\nIn California, while our approach may be different, we also must take advantage of this great legislative victory. It is a good time to improve our school facilities, get more training programs for both our youth and adult family heads, demand more action from our state FEPC in eliminating job discrimination, help our unemployed and relief families to become self-supporting, replace our slums with decent housing, and back the anti-poverty war in California.\r\n\r\nWhat We Must Do\r\nBriefly, here are some fairly self-evident things for us to do:\r\n\r\nMake more use of our voting rights to obtain better jobs, housing, and schools.\r\nJoin a club or form a civic group in our neighborhood to work for community improvements.\r\nBecome acquainted with our public officials, those whom we elect . . . know what they stand for, and keep up with what they are doing.\r\nCall on our churches, lodges, clubs, and unions to become neighborhood centers for information and action programs.\r\nOne final thought: the present high interest in civil rights presents a new opportunity for good people of all groups to work together in harmony. In California, we can show the world how cooperation can be built; and how \"working together\" means more jobs, better communities, and greater prosperity for all."},{"id":"clu_uclamss-1642","title":"Augustus F.
