Section A
Answer Question 01.

From a report of a speech by Jesse Jackson to the Republican Party, in the
New York Times, 21 January 1978. This left-leaning newspaper is renowned for high
journalistic standards.
‘Blacks will vote Republican if Republicans will go after their votes and look after their
interests’, the Rev Jesse L Jackson told the Republican National Committee today. A
standing ovation greeted the message from the Chicago‐based civil rights leader, who
had been invited before the committee as part of an effort by the Republican national
chairman, Bill Brock, to reverse the devastating decline in the party’s share of black 5
votes. Mr Jackson preached self‐help and warned of moral decay, even as he invited
Republican competition for black votes and argued that blacks should register as
Republicans so they could, ‘broaden our political options and avoid being taken for
granted by the Democrats’. Mr Jackson said that the Republicans had lost some black
votes in 1976, perhaps enough to cost them the election, ‘because they simply did not go 10
after them’. He warned, ‘The Republican Party needs black people if it is to ever
compete for national office – or, in fact, to keep it from becoming an extinct party’.
Source B
From an article in the Christian Science Monitor, 26 August 1980. This newspaper had a
reputation for being non-religious and non-sensationalist. It won five Pulitzer prizes
between 1945 and 1980.
It is extraordinary that the Ku Klux Klan has resurfaced to the point that America’s main
political parties have had to reject it. Klan membership has risen from 6 500 to 10 500 in
the past five years and, in June, over 32 300 southern Californians voted for Klansman,
Tom Metzger, who campaigned to aid ‘white working people’, as the Democratic nominee
for the 43rd congressional district. Local Democrat officials renounced their support 5
saying, ‘he is against everything the Democratic Party stands for’. Next it was the
Republicans’ turn to try to avoid guilt by association with the Klan. The problem arose
when the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, the biggest, most militant Klan group, endorsed
Ronald Reagan declaring ‘the Republican platform reads as if it were written by a
Klansman’, citing such points as Reagan’s opposition to gun control, generous welfare 10
payments and to ‘forced busing’. Mr Reagan rejected the endorsement, saying, ‘I have
no tolerance for the Klan and I want nothing to do with it’.
