for an imperfalistic army. Fort
Bragg, and Camp Lejuere, two
military installations, are closein
distance to Lumberton,
Despite their astroromical pro-
fits, these two industries see fir
to pay their employees a bare min-
imum wage of $1.60 an hour, while
at the same time pulling in mil-
lions. No mauer how much the peo-
ple increase production, they never
receive any of the benefits of the
fruits of their labor. Little ra-
cist Tkriners also expleit the people
that work on their tobacco snd cote
ton phintations, These racist farm-
ers steal land from tke people
with the wid of state level, bigoted,
Politicians and pay them little or
nothing for their [abor.

Mat have pans easing up to their
back doors throush an overgrown
field that looks like a jungle,
and coal serve <3 fuel for cook-
ing and keeping warm when the
freeze of winter rolls around, The
government came into the com~
muntty about a year ago with a
jive urban renewal program (Nig-
ger Kemoval), They brought a aum-
ber of dilapidated shacks that still
have the toilet on the outside of
the house in the backyard. It has
been mnore than a year since these
houses were purchased from ra-
cist Slumlords, but the peeple con-
tinue to live in them hecause they
have no other place to Zo.

One case in particular concerns
brother Sam Williamson. Brother
ness. The piss tried to brutalze
Sam at the pig pen but Sam re-
sisted to the paint that he jammed
four pigs pretty good, The pigs,
with their warped mentalities,
called Sam an insane nigger and
sent him to Dorothy Dix for 60
doys, without him ever going to
trial. At the time of his arrest,
Sam was driving a 1969 car, When
Brother Sain wes finally released
from the mental institution after
serving fils time, the pigs had
sold his car and caid they knew
nothing of the car.
There are some niggers, bro-
thers and sisters, in Lumberton
that have said, “‘gnough is enough,”
we've come to the end of the roid;
no more can we vear this heavy
load, They re.hize for Black poo-
ple, especially in Lumberton, that
Hfe, liberty. cad the pursuit of
happiness is nonexistent. Tney
realize chat instead the masses
are plagued by misery, bur ser,
and the pursuit of fascist dog
pigs.
In recognizing their plight these
orothers and sisters have vowed
to mobilize the people of Lum-
berton, N.C., and get to the Rey-
olutioaary Feeple's Constitutional
Convention to write a document
that will guarantee aH people tteir
human rights and assuce them
tionary elements of this decadent
American society.
