“What we have to understand is that as long as we
don't make a commitment to the struggle, they're going to be
successful in doing what they've been doing for the past 400
years. And that is d'viding and conquering us. See, we have
to stop, like it's good to come out here and say right on,
right on, power to the people, power to the people. But we
ask each and every one of you all, what are you doing to make
all power to the people become a reality? And that's the:-most
important thing you see. Like, all this clapping and hollering
right on, that‘s qood, but we get to make a commitment to the
struggle. And when we talk about making a commitment to the
struggle, we're talking about people getting out here organizing,
trying to raise people's level of consciousness as to what's
going on.
"So let's define what making a commitment to the
struggle really means. We're not making a commitment to.
the struggie when we work 8 hours a day 40 hours a week and
we can't lock forward to nothing on the weekend but going
up to the cuuntry club, getting high, freaking out, cr some
old jive time, or doing all that the man has us related to. It's
not making a commitment when we come off our job and all we
can think about doing is getting the first bottle of ripple
{phonetic) or the first bottle of _ (uninteiligible).
That's not making a commitment to the struggle.
"And I want everyone to know that we've been through
that path aiso, but this is not what it’s all about. And we
going te have to seriously make a commitment.
“Or, falph Abernathy, President of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference, has stated vary clearly that
they are dealing with the Black Panther Party now. After
while it's going to be each and every one of us out here,
you see. It ‘s going to be all of us. You showld understand.
You shruid understand very clearly that they are dealing with
us right now but this is not going to be the end of their
campaign to try, just to stop the organizing blood of the
Black Panther Party.
