SUPPORT OUR BLACK BROTHERS ; ; ; ; On June 4, 1968, three Black Brothers from San Jose, Calif, were arrested in Washington D, C, on murder charges of two white marines, The Brothers had come to D, C, on the Poor People's March, and even though the killing of the Marines was clearly done in self-defense, Brothers Hodasi (Benjamin Murdock), Cornelius Frazier, and Gordon Alexander were indicted on charges of first-degree murder, Since then Cornelius Frazier, a member of the Omega Psi Phi Fraterpity at San Jose State College, was released from the murder charges, but then was immediately charged with failure to report a felony in the same circumstances, He was subsequently released on $5,000 bond, and several days ago all charges against him were dropped, The other two Brothers are still being held in jail in Washington with no bond having been set, The case has received wide public attention, both in Washington D.C where the event occured, and in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Brothers live, The lives and liberty of these Brothers are in serious jeapordy, aA legal defense team of at least three Black lawyers is needed to keep two of them from being electrocuted, It is highly possible that it will be necessary to fight the cade to the United States Suprime Court in order to save their lives, This will require litigation in three different courts, and the cost may range as high as $25,000 for legal defense, Black People demand that Brothers Hodari and Alexander by set free : : : : : We will not stand idly by while the courageous young warriors of our Black Communities are lynched "Northern style", These Brothers need your helpd< Contributions may be sent to : Brother Ruben Warren Basileus Omega Psi Phi Fraternity 335 South 11th Street San Jose, California or Black Militant Legal Defense Fund c/o Eastern Regional House of Umoja P,O, Box 6652 Washington D.C, BLACK DEFENSE FUND STARTED A "Legal Defense Fund for Black Militants has been started by Black People in the '~lashington D, C, area, The kickoff for the project, cosponsored by the New School of Afro- American Thought and the Eastern Re- TRUTH OF WATKINS MURDER REVEALED PAGE 2a gLA~K POWER ONTARIO -- Ted Watkins, age 26, was born in Chicago, Illinois, studied in California and became a football hero, After emigrating to Canada five years ago, he played professional football with the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the Canadian Football League. He and his wife, Ndthalyn, together with their four daughters lived in Burlington,, Ontario, He gained prominence in Canada, apart from being a professional football player, by speaking out against racial prejudice and discrimination and the subtle (and not so subtle} forms in which it exists in Canada, He wad instrumental in founding the Afro-American Progressive Association . As Chairman of the A,A,P,A, and an active spokesman, his service was a vital contribution to the liberation of Black people everywhere . On June 2, 1968, Ted Watkins was slain and his brother Clifford was wounded by a white store owner and a white clerk, in an alleged liquor store holdup in Stockton, California . What actually occurred was that Watkins and his brother became involved in an argument with the white clerk after the clerk refused to cash a small check covering the cost of then purchase (which consisted of pota to chips and soft drinks) . When the clerk began cursing his brother, Watkins fired on his jaw . The clerk, who has a rep from killing another Black man in a former alleged "holdup" attempt, then ,produced a pistol from beneath his shirt, In an attempt to disarm him, Watkins lunged across the counter at him, and as they wrestled through a plate glass window at the front of the store, Watkins was shot twice, After an unsuccessful attempt to disarm the clerk, Watkins' brother was wounded in the shoulder by a white man alleged to be the store owner, As he fled, two more shots rang out from within the store . He was arrested Later in Sacramento when he sought treatment at a hospital, Coroner's reports established later that Ted Watkins had been shot four times, in the back of the neck, in the chest, and twice in the back, Two of the bullets came from a ,22 pistol ; the other two from a ,38, The secretary of the A,A,P,A,, Jose Garcia, stated that "We in the Afro-American Progressive Association refuse to accept the initial reports from the white, racist news media of the U,S,A, and Canada, 6Je cannot believe that a man ,who earns between x$10,000 and $15,000 per sea son as a professional football player would resort to liquor store holdups" even had he been uptight financially, Further, such a man would not travel nearly 3,000 miles to rob a liquor store in California when the liquor stares in Ontario are amply stocked with both money and liquor," The murder of Brother Ted Watkins is a great loss for Black people everywhere, May we mourn his death, as Jose Garcia has said, in "action rather than weeping ." gional Office of the HOUSE of UMOJA, was a "Night of Soul" benefit at Ed Murphy's Supper Club in the heart of the D.C, Black ghetto on Sunday, July 14, Brother Damu Weusi, featured speaker and Eastern Regional Ambassador to the HOUSE of UMOJA, called for .the legal defense fund k "because our Black heroes have given their lives and their deaths for Black People, while we haven't given anything in return," Iie said that "Black People deserted Garvey when the United States, Britain, and France caught him up on "mail fraud," and we dove under our beds while they were pumping bullets into Brother Malcolm," He mentioned that other Black militants such as li, Rap Brown, L.eroi .Jones, Max Stanford, Huey f, Newton, and Muhammad Ali have not received adequate support from Black People in their legal battles, Brother Damu explained that the initial funds in the project would go to Benjamin Murdock, Cornelius Frazier, and Gordon Alexander, three Brothers accused in the slaying of two White Marines in a D,C, suburb last month, Most of the night was taken up by Black entertainment, beginning with Black Philadelphia poet Yusuf .Rahman., who with a mixture of lights "took the audience into a journey to their inner selves," He was joined by jazz artist Byard Lancaster, whose newest album, "Its .Not Up to Us," has received favorable reviews all across the country, The final act was the Carol Joyner African Drum and Dance Troupe, -who set the audience handclapping and foot-stomping with their lively review of songs, dancing, and traditional drumming, A collection was taken, \\\
