BOBBY LEE: Right now thet's functioning?
Question: Right now, and how de you hope these will implement
your ends? .
BOBRY LEE; Okay, well I answered that: earlier, but 1'1] go over
it again. All right now, the programs we have, I'll start with
Chicago first. We have a facd buying club in Chicago and this is
for welfare mether:.. This is where collectively we get the welfare
mothers together an? the reason we got them tegether is because the
money they g«* once 2 month is not encegh to buy food. See,
that’s the first thing. Sw they were given about $5 er $10 a week,
and we had a long Jist of different grcceries they could get, you
know, and they would strike off what they wanted. And what we'd do
is take all. the m@énuey, 1: © the whelesale store, and buy Grade A,
all Grade tf, vegrtahic.. meate, fond, milk, and everyhing. On
Fridays we woul i distribute them, you know. Now the Breakfast
for Children Prograr, the ‘re Brerk{fast for Children Progran,
the Patriots have, ta Lerds have, the Panthers have, will
collectively in Chic.10, see, feed 4,000. See, 4,000 kids fed.
And we put al) our donatiovs from places like __ (unintelli-
gible), A and T, nations). (unintelligible) gives
a lot of stuff to help us, _ ss (unintelligible) on Fridays,
jelio, meats, you know. And we feed these kids. Nationally we
feed about 40,000 kids, nationally.

The next program we're opening up in Chicago is the free health
Clinic. And October 4 we'll speak at the doctor's conference in
Cleveland, Ohio, asking fr yeolunterrs. New there is one functioning
in Kansas City right row, a free health clinic, see. And I hope that
we just turned in another pregram fer @ free library that would be
open in Chicage, it would be used as a model. Now the whole
pw pose of these programs is number one to heighten the contradictions.
See, like when we set these py grams up in certain alderman‘s wards
and then a year agc when he was running to be alderman, and he used
home base as poverty, what he would do for you, what he would do
for you if you weuld vote him in, see, then once he gets in
there's still poverty, what happened, the people see .. .
