development to mt this country dr charles v hamilton professor of political science at rocssvslt university said this last night at the last lecture in the critical issues in negro history lecture series he attempted to destroy ihe myths about black power and explained it as being an alternate and viable way to civilization in america and the world he described black power in three aspects concepts and theories of black power — alienation relevant intermediary groups and political modernization needed explanation to make clear the foundations of black power social violence as associated with black power was explained as existing in two types expressive and instrumental expressive violence is the rioting we have had since july 1964 it is the kind that should not cause worry about the strength of our nation because it is visible dissent thereby contributing to its strength instrumental violence is the type that knocks out a communication system it deals with selective retaliation against whites it builds a base in the black community and being underground activity it is hard to stop he listed the seven categories of black power that cannot be reconciled with each other the seven aspect black pride hatred of whites race separatism pressure goe^_pejlmea t **■«*>* r»-r ism and neighborhood control were not extensively explained by hamilton instead he detailed the three theories of black power hamilton classified alienation as being between races of people and institutions of society he said that society's institu tions must be relevant to the people they affect the legitimacy of an institution is deter mined by its useful service to a community an institution can be legal and illegitimate if it does not serve its community hamilton used the example of the 29th ward of chicago where 98.2 per cent of the population is black and the ward democratic party committeeman is wnite he also lives five miles from the center of ms responsibility hamilton asked how it is possible for such a political institution to be legitimate he then expounded on the theory of relevant intermediary groups closely related to ms alienation theory institu tlons alienated to their communities such as political parties cannot serve as inter mediaries between the white and black communities chicago's 29th ward schools thai ignore the black view of slavery in history courses aad olice who persecute rather than protect citi aen are all examples or irr*j*v*nt intermediary groups hamilton referred to federalist papers by james madison to support ms belief that social groupings must operate within a consentual society the task of one group must be consented to by the group immediately affected by that task other wise irrelevance will prevail and alienation will flourish .
