Larry Medley, one of the brothers, trying tcinitiate thechange wus approacted and threatened by pig Shoavers, he was told that if he continued to try to politically educate the Black students, he would be thrown out of school. But this did not dis- courage the brother, because he is strong in his beliefs, After this incident Larry and two other bro- ‘y --. maw car me thers (George Dewin and William Douglass), went to the office to talk to the principal about the crap that he was handing down. Their rap to the foo! about getting Black studies was so streng thar the principal called them Black Pan- After seeing that he couldn*t stop them, he moved to kick ote.) ot of school on trumped up charges. After the brothers were kicked out, a boot- licking guidance counselor cold George that he should go to law school to become a lawyer, be- thers. ors - cause he was a “‘heavyrapper’’, After the brothers were told to deave the school grounds, pig Shoavers had the Chief of the Pigs (Prichett) to follow them around like dogs; the excuse for this actien was suspicion of them being Black Panthers, How can they be Panthers, when there are no Panthers in tiigh Point? So pigs, Shoavers and Prichett, harassed and intimidated the Students of the schaol to try to get information on the brothers to see if they really were Black Pan- thers, One of the brothers who played football, Eugene, was harassed by Prichett and the bra- ther had to stop playine football. The brother is now plannins to . leave the schonl a€ave tne Sencog.. Shoaver’s true fascist colors showed throuzh oace again by in- timidating and harassing two sisters, Ti: day befure Dora and * NeNe were expeHed, Shoaver called Dora into his office and questioned her about her political beliefs. They were asked questions such as “Do you believe in the Panthers, What do you have to do bad to become a Panther, Are Larry and George Panthers, Why does your mother let Larry drive her car? etc. This doz bas been intimidating other students in the saine manner asking them questious about Larry, George, Dora and Nelve, they are also threatening to put the students out of school if they don’t answer, People! fiow many more students will you let Shoaver put out before you rise up and see justice done? The next persoa cold be you. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Dora Gray George Dewitt
