throw it. No strings attached. Do anything they want with
it.
“We had a Thanksgiving party for the Puerto Rican
kids, a thousand people eating turkeys, everything, jeily,
sweet potatoes, throwing sweet potatoes at the camcramen,
throwing the squashes into the basketball nets; no knives
and forks. They didn't need that. It was all....free,
They could do anything they wanted with it. We didn't
care cause it was fun. It was fun bringing it. Fun doing
that whole trip on Thanksgiving. Salvation Army up the
street, and they could only give out, they were complaining
because they bad prepared for fifteen hundred people, and
they only had about five hundred show up and, of course, they

brought us to Chicago, so we can have a festival of life.
ws Life, joy, that French cat over there in France, just read
— his book, he said revolution will be built on joy, not
