What Evers implies is that disenfranchised people through- out the country must begin to disregard party and racial labels. That is, I believe, extremely important. It will do black Americans absolutely no good to be politically and economically enfranchised into a system that systematically denies human values and destroys the environment that sus- tains life. By affirming and fighting for the values that are life sustaining, black politicians can become the vanguard of the forces that will save this country, if it is to be saved.
