LARRY LITTLE spoke about the opposition of the black
people to the seemingly growing instances when confrontations
with police have resulted. LITTLE spoke of depression and
obvious intentional harassment by the local police agencies.
He stated that the BPP has come a long way from guns to shoes
and he expects greater things in the days to come. He further
indicated that members of the BPP would be running for local
office in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina, area and urged
those assembled to assist in their efforts to obtain power for ,)
the people.
ISAIAH CARDWELL, BPP member, presented a brief slide
show of numerous photographs of the Winston-Salem area comparing
the downtown renewal program of a new Federal Building, a new
city hall, new bank building, against the background of the
~@ecaying ghetto. CARDWELL attempted to dramatize the point
that the ruling class was spending all the money for the ruling
class and nothing for the people who really needed help. CARDWELL's
resentation appeared to be well received by those persons
n attendance.
LARRY LITTLE commented at the conclusion of the Survival
Day Program that he felt it was most successful in that similar
programs would be planned for the future as the best way to , J
win the people is to give them what they need. ‘
