why are we always trying to look for some sort of ally ship or coalition? It’s OK for us to be separated but respectful of one another. It seems like in our community. We have some sort of inferiority complex where we think we need everybody else in order to gain power for ourselves and that is just not the case.

I grew up a couple of blocks away from the Church and must have been 7 or 8 years old when some of my Puerto Rican friends brought me to a baseball game the Young Lords had organized. Afterwards, they gave us sandwiches. What a sweet memory.

When I saw Pat Devine-Reed had been a supporting influence in the 70's my heart swelled. She'd later established The Boulevard Arts Center on Garfield Blvd on the Southside, where i met her. As a young family in the Back of the yards neighborhood, we found a refuge in Katherine Dunham dance, visual art, theater, etc.. My children would always remember those summers and special events at The Boulevard. She'd married pastor John Reed by then and he would eventually retire, leaving me his car! ( I paid them a pitance for it) The many Artists she'd employed and given a venue to make Pat Devine-Reed a force for immense change in the city of Chicago. She'll never know how grateful me and my family will always be for her life's works. ❤

Yeah I remember the Royals being there 1st and then the Insane Unknowns took over. How did we know this? Right there on Ashland and Wrightwood at Wrightwood Park the whole back wall of the junkyard that sat at the back of the baseball field had the gang tags in Gothic graffiti. It was about half a block long too.

I was working with the DC chapter of the Black Panther Party. 18 years old trying to escape the influence of the Baltimore heroin world. 9f course I knew who Cha Cha was. However my role as a young white in Chocolate City was very limited So mysdy, my bud and I headed to Chicago to work f with RUA organizing.in blue collar communities Funny our experience with the Black Panthers led us to natural affinity in the mixed hood we lived in. We organized a block party of several thousand people. I got to know Cha Cha and became a precinct captain for his Aldermanic campaign. I continued doing outreach work with gangs for RUA and working at the Fritzi Englestein clinic.until I witnessed some Latin King.drug deals and Outfit gun deals
