Congressman Adam Clayton Powell larouchepub.com: Where Franklin Roosevelt was interrupted book: "Adam by Adam" The Autobiography of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr The Autobiography of Adam Clayton Powell, Jr}): “In 1955, the Department of State deliberately and calculatedly imperiled the future of the United States of America for perhaps the rest of our lives. It did so despite advice from me which every subsequent event of history has more than supported. On April 19, 1955, for the first time in the history of the world, 29 nations of Africa and Asia met together at Bandung, Indonesia…. “I … wired President Eisenhower suggesting that a Goodwill mission be sent. On February 16, I was shocked to receive as my reply, a copy of a memorandum to the White House from the Department of State. ‘The United States will not be a participant, we will have no plans to send observers, and Congressman Powell should not be encouraged in his apparent hope to attend the conference as an observer.’ Until this moment, I had not decided to attend, but when I realized that our government’s stupidity would not allow them to send an observer to this, one of the most significant conferences in our times, I then informed the White House that I was going to Bandung anyway, and that I was going to pay my own way.”
