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.”
