Plans and specifications may be examined at the following locations: BUF leader speaks here Grassroot News, N.W . - During the early part o f last week, the Pacific Northwest was host to Reverend Daughtry, the national chairperson o f the National Black United Front, and presiding minister o f the House o f the Lord churches in New York. In the last two decades Reverend Daughtry and his congregation have par ticipated in protest action with the Brooklyn C .O .R .E ., Operation Breadbasket, and Laity and Clergy Concerned. Reverend Daughtry commenced his presentation with a discussion of contemporary events. “ These are some of the most critical times that we have faced in our history, and that history has been a history o f critical times. There are factors now which makes these times a lot more critical. Among these factors is the violence that comes down to us from abusive police power. This violence from the police is far more devasting to us than the violence from the new and old right and the KKK - not that there’ s a difference because many times they’ re the same persons. What is so devastating about police violence is that i t ’ s the kind o f violence that people sleep on. “ During the 60s the marching and the blood that was shed elevated some of us into social mobility while it left the masses behind. There was some progress since it is better than it use to be, but the progress gained was not economic. The progress d id n ’ t spread wide enough and it didn't go deep enough. What it did was create the illusion that we are all that way because a few o f us were allowed to earn our way • to get a house away from the rest o f us. It became apparent after a while that the masses of us have not really progressed at all. And thus in Mississippi when those two words came out ‘ Black Power' it tapped what was always there, disappoint ment and discontent. W ith Black Power came a new level o f con sciousness and everybody that had been a Negro before had become Black. Our style had changed; our hair had changed; what we used to be ashamed o f, we no longer felt that way. For the next five years Black Power was inescapable. You had to be for it or against it. And like so many things that we set in motion, it had to be destroyed. “ What did Black Power in, was the C O IN TEL program where the legal apparatus o f this country destroyed the movement o f the people. The F B I. had brothers from the Panthers, US and the African Revolutionary Party killing one another. Another thing that • estroyed the movement was the acification program. It was just nough to cool us out. One other factor that destroyed the movement was the Negro leadership which had control o f grants and media so that they were able to bounce back. These are some o f the things that brought Black Power to a stand still. You might say that we had a strategic retreat. “ The final thing that put the power out was the betrayal o f white folks from the le ft and the right. What we came to understand was, he that would be free, must strike the blow himself. Black people must find their own basis for liberation and we must fin d out under what condition whoever come along It would be w onderful it Black and white labor could work together, but the reality of the situation is that white labor has identified more with the ruling class than with us at any point in our history. “ When the latter part o f the 70s rolled about, we began to sense a change. There was hope to put the movement back on track again - and this time we would go all the way. After the elections, people who use to do other things now spent their weekends doing serious th inking and left boogie behind. They begin to understand that their jobs were on the line. When we looked around we found that the KKK had come out o f the closet, the Nazis had came back out o f hell and from one end of the country to the other, the police were killing us left and right. “ Other things that happened were the cutbacks of survival services and the recapturing o f certain vital parts o f the city. The closing down o f a hospital or a school meant the closing down o f a community. The people who said that they d id n ’ t want to live there could now come back. Everybody seems to know that we’ re in a war but us. There’ s no way you can cut services o ff to a people unless you intend to destroy that people. The people in control can do a thing and predict the behavior o f a people. They can either k ill us o ff directly or so arrange our behavior so that we will act a certain way, so we have to be killed o ff just to m aintain order. That way they w ill feel ju s tifie d doing it. “ A new world economic order is just around the corner and the 3% who control everything now are fig hting to m aintain because the count is almost on ten. Today nations are saying, ‘ you back-up o ff my resources because 1 want to con tro l my own. The current ad ministration is aware o f this and as they cut back survival services, the m ilita ry budget goes higher and higher. I see hope not only in the National Black United Front, but also in the international aspect. A new day is on the way and we w ill have to make our own way.” Tribal Administration Building Warm Springs, Oregon 97761 STRAAM Engineers 700 Plaza 600 Seattle, Washington 98101 Copies of the plans and specifications may be examined or obtained upon application at the office of STRAAM Engineers, 5505 S.E.
