RE: COUDTERORTENDZ . LOW WEUK
We did a rally in New York, Harlem, where the Patriots
were given a ve1y warm reception. And we did a thing at the
Diplomat Hotel in New York City for the Panther 21.
After New York City, we went to Richmond, Virginia,
and we spoke at Virginia Junior College, the Free University,
Richmond, Virginia, and also we worked in the communities there.
We split up in Richnond, Virginia, where the Patriots went
to a place called Aryil Hitls (phonetit), I think it is, sort
of white working class cemmunity. Ati we went to a place called
West End. There's a black community there, and we worked, after
we left we set. up a program tor free breakfast for children progran
in Richmond, Vixginia.
Rnd we cawe lieve, the indicetion was in view you people
invited us bere te show awergeon Revolution II, and ve've shown
it in the three states that we've been in. American Revolution II,
as preacherman said, as these other fellows said, that it consists
of working class whites and working class hlacks, woyking together
under a comron cause. You hn, _ 0. . (unintelligible) in the
community, pelice brutality, the housing, what the community needs.
Another: aim we've been trying to work on going to
universities is that we found that there's a big breakdown between
so-called black students who go to schocl at the university, and the
brothers out here in thu streets. We find that the black students
in the colleges don't relate to the brothers On the streets any
more, to the cats on th cerners. And we've tried to work with
that, try to build some conmunications.

For instances, in Washington, D.C. brothers, well this
is like a field niggrt and » hose niyjzx mentality, and we try to
avoid the gap there. And 1 think we did very good at Richmond,
Virginia, and it. was a failure here. And so last night, didn't
too many black students tion cut. I guess they were too busy
standing up holding hands on the sidewalks or something like that.
What it boils down to is what we said last night, that
the mentality is thal there are some peuple who know they came
over here on slave ships, and there are some niggers who think
they came here on the Mayflower. And that's the difference
right there.
