Here is the corrected info:
James Meredith, who with the aid of federal marshals in 1962
became the first black to enroll at the University of Mississippi,
has become a special assistant to Jesse Helms R-NC.
Since his election in 1972, Helms has vigorously opposed civil rights
bills and other domestic programs designed to address the wrongs done to
African Americans in this country. He has defended the racist govenment
of South Africa, fought making Dr. Martin L. King`s birthday a national
holiday and criticized African American leaders for their pursuit for a
just and equal system for all people in this country.
Meredith, however, dosen`t belive Helms is hostile to African
Americans...
In a letter that Meredith sent to acquaintances, he wrote:
"I consider this job in the US Senate the most significant
development in my long campain to make the black race full
first-class citizens. I am particularly concerned about our domestic
policy, especiall in reguard to the black race, the family, education
and drugs," as well as African policy and hunger programs.
"The thing that has impressed me the most about Sen. Jesse Helms
over the years has been his total commitment to preserving the
traditional family and maintaining high moral standars based
on Christian morality."

The story goes continues. If there is a real interest then send mail and I will try to post all of it. I heard from a few folk that this is causing
quite a stir in the media... Anyway I thought that it would be of interest.

Wow! I think we should scrib/tex/troff that discordian thing, and
distribute it here in Pittsburgh! I mean, there are portions of the
population here that would think it real. And the politicians can use
as much meaningless noise being sent to them as we can generate.

There's a strong undercurrent of conservatism in black culture in the U.S., particularly on issues of family and morality. I seem to remember reading a survey in the last election where Jesse Jackson was #1 among blacks and Pat Robertson was #2.
