The article describes the Third World concept as envisioning
a union of the emerging underprivileged nations of the world
in a revolt against the Western and Eastern civilizations which
have in the past and continue today to oppress non-whites.
Concerning. the rally on Intervale Street on Saturday afternoon,
August 20, 1966, the source,previously mentioned, advised on
August 25, 1966, that the purpose of the rally was to allow
Stokely Carmichael, national leader of the.Student’ Non-Violent
Coordinating Committee, to, speak to persons in the Roxbury—
Dorchester area.
The first speaker was Charles Ferguson of the Freedom Security
Corps who said little. and tried with little success to get the
audience of about 300 people to chant, "Black Power is what we
want", ;
The source stated the Freedom Security Corps is a group of young
Negroes in their late teens who were organized by Rev. Virgil
Woods, Chairman of the New England Branch of the Southern
Christian Leadership Conference. The purpose of this group,
in the opinion of the source, is to provide a group, in an
audience such as the present rally, who will insure a favorable
reaction for the speaker, will try to sway the audience's
emotions and provide protection for the speaker.
Minister Louis Walcott then spoke for about forty minutes. He
said Negroes have the right to unite and build their own power
structure, and that black women must be protected and the "white
hunter" kept out of Negro neighborhoods. He taught the Muslim
belief that black. people are the original people and the white
man is grafted from the black. He claimed the "beast" was in
his last days. The crowd responded enthusiastically to Minister
Louis' speech.
The source explained that "white hunter" is a term used to
describe a white man who is looking for a black woman. The
term "beast" is used by Muslims as a synonym for white man.
