: “aight on, right on, Thank you brother. First of
i all, let me make clear, I'm from Oxford, North Carolina, but
I bave been dewn in Wilmington helping the people out. A
lot of you think I'm from Wilmington because of what happened
down there. But I've been all over North Carolina and Virginia
helping our black people struggling against the systems. You
see, this is what we're about. I work for the Committee for
Racial Justice out of Raleigh.
“I'm glad to be here in Wilmington today for the
Inter:ommunal Pay for Bobby Seale, to set Bobby Seale free,

know, to unser that question, I think it's fair for us to look
at the schoci. erisis in North Carolina. You know, black people,
young black bicthers and sisters have taken it upon themselves
to Launch a war against the racism in the schools here in
North Cargtina- And I want to run that down toyou.
you know, over five years ago, some very tcgether
brothers and sisters out in California began to say what we
want is an education that expeses the true nature of this
decadent American society. We want an education that teaches
us our trye history and our true role in this present day
seciety. And that was the Black Panther Party's Fifth point
