Scope and Contents
This session began with further discussion over which individuals and organizational representatives would be most valuable in furthering the aims and ideas of the group. It was emphasized several times that members of the Board of Education and Board of Supervisors, of whom too few were in attendance, were desperately needed in order to implement new policy within their respective organizations. Furthermore, the presence of greater numbers of public officials was considered to be crucial by...

This session begins with some discussion over the official minutes and agenda being sent out too late after previous meetings. It is agreed that the audio recording would serve as the official minutes while the notes taken by a stenographer would serve as the official summary of minutes. It is also settled that an agenda with tentative topics of discussion would be sent to members ahead of time, with new subjects first being introduced, then experts brought in for consultation at a later...

Scope and Contents
In this session, group members focused on several area and service-based issues within San Diego's public transportation system. These issues were further complicated by reports that the distribution of newer equipment and routes was racially motivated to benefit the white majority, and by criticisms of racial bias in its hiring policy. It was agreed that the greatest obstacle in this situation was how to balance the concerns of minorities in terms of greater quality of service and...

The date marked on this tape, 3/8/68, is apparently incorrect, because during the course of the dialogue, Waymon made reference to the date of the next meeting being 2/23/68. (The meetings were held every other Friday morning, making this the meeting of February 9.) Also, due to the large number of people present, this meeting was held in an auditorium, and parts of the audio recording are not sufficiently audible to catch everything being said by some sitting farther away from the recorder....

Scope and Contents
This session included an impassioned call to action by a "Black Power" advocate, whose contention was that talk was cheap, and that if the majority would not join forces to effect change, African Americans would have to take matters into their own hands. The sense of urgency was such that the majority was warned to "make a choice and make it well," or it would be standing on the "eve of destruction" (a well-known phrase popularized by Barry McGuire's 1965 song "Eve of Destruction"). Many...

The December 15th meeting was one well-attended, including the mayor and members of the city council. Also attending were a number of "observers" from the community, who gave personal testimonials and shared perceptions and reactions, particularly concerning employment issues within the "power structure" and also their impressions of the Economic Opportunity Commission (EOC). The general consensus seemed to be that talking was not enough, that the situation was urgent, and required action....

Scope and Contents
The focus of this week's session was how to implement new ideas about race and equality in the existing public transportation system of San Diego. The group was still mainly concerned with extending opportunity for members of minority groups to allow them to advance to higher-paying and more highly skilled positions within the system, with an emphasis on expanding routes and updating equipment for minority neighborhoods. The immediate obstacles to these goals were identified by the group as...
