New Song: Wake Up Everybody no time for sleeping in bed....

The next day I found myself outside of Brawley Hall with a group of young men protesting in the memory of Malcolm X. In the movie 'Malcom X' ....when the young brother was beat by the police...and dragged 2 the station...Malcom came to the station and told the Chief to look out the window. What he saw was a line of Black Men...arms folded...no expression upon their face...looking as if they were ready 2 go 2 war any minute. These men had faces of stone and you could tell...without a word spoken...they meant business. This...was the site of Brawley Hall. My brothers and I were silently protesting as Malcom X had instructed so long ago.

Around other parts of the campus...there were other kinds of protest. Some had stages set. Some were in the theater. Some were sitting on the ground and speaking of the ramifications of the verdict. But...above all...there was peace. Or at least...for the moment.

Around 11am my peaceful demonstration would be interupted by a young brother bleeding from his head. In an hysterical rant...he said...
"You gotta come...help...Sisters are being beaten over the head...SHIELDS...CLUBS"
"It's BAD!!! Through the Projects....there coming!!!"

What this young brother was talking about was the Atlanta PD was coming through the Projects on a course for the campus in riot gear. Anyone in their way was consisdered an object that had to be moved. With my own eyes...I saw Atlanta PD come onto our campus and push/hit/shove and mace young brothers and sisters!

All of a sudden...the assault stopped...and like robots...the advance would go on no long...for now. The next few hours would return us to the 60's and 70's....
