Education tabled, other topics discussed, 1969
The meetings were moderated by CIC Executive Director Carroll Waymon, and his voice is often the first one heard in the audio recordings of the meetings.
This tape begins with the last 48 minutes of the March 28 meeting audiotape. The April 11 meeting actually begins at 49:53.
This meeting was scheduled to follow up with the topic of education, but school administrators were in Florida for a conference, so that agenda was tabled for a later date. Members were invited to suggest alternative topics, and a few brief discussions ensued. The role and value of the local Parent Teacher Associations (PTA) were considered. Reverend Oxley reported on employment issues with the local hospitality industry, and indicated that some hotels and motels had responded to requests for information. Others had not responded, and still had no minority employees, particularly in more visible roles such as front desk clerks and restaurant servers. He discussed plans for picket lines to be organized at some of those latter businesses.
The issue of 4 or 5 African-American police officers who quit in the past two months was raised; however, there was no one present who could shed any light on that, and it was remarked that the chief of police had never attended any of the dialogues. Finally, complaints about the parking meters in the downtown area were addressed.
Minutes of this meeting are found with those of the March 28 meeting, consisting of 5 pages of stenographic-notebook paper with tape-recorder-counter numbers on the left and mostly names of speakers following, with some notes.
