SR eae al oe Rocca ee aaa WANN £ ca co 7 RE: COUNTERORIENTATION WEEK (The following speech was made by BOBBY LEE.) I'll take over where preacher left off now. My name is BOBBY LEE for those of you who don’t know me. I'm field secretary for the Black Panther Party, the Chicago Chapter, and this is CRAIG WALTON (phonetic), the Minister of Defense of the Young Patriots, and CRAIG also spent four years in the Marine Corps and in Vietnam, and Preacherman who is field secretary for the Young Patriots organization, and national headquarters is in Chicago, and they're from the north side of Chicago. It's called uptown. About 50 per cent of the people who live up there are from Appalachian, are southern whites who migrated from the South the same as my people did during the World War II. And the mines and factories and things closed down, and these people are without jobs. And we refer to uptown, like some people call Spanish Harlem, and like some people call black harlem, then we call uptown white harlem, And the whole purpose of the trip on black panther’s point of view was number one to build some communications, was to build some communications with, well with some of the universities who haven't had a chance to have exposure to the Black Panthers. To lay out our programs, let the people see the programs, to talk about what's happening in the country in general and in Chicago in particular. Being that I'm the only one from the Chicago chapter who's free to leave and we're very certain now that that privilege will be taken away from me when I go back. The Patriots and Panthers being together, shows, you know, that the Black Panther Party is not a racist organization as most of the presses have been trying to portray that. And we started out in Washington, D. C. and we spoke at American University, DuPont Circle, Malcolm X Park in Washington, D. C. We were on a couple of TV programs there and from Washington we went to New York City where the Patriots spoke in Harlem. We had a very warm reception there and we did a rally, like, for the New York Panthers. 75 a ga ea an we
