“The most important thing is they were unable to convict us of working for anybody except Black people,” Omali Yeshitela, the longtime leader of the Uhuru Movement and its umbrella organization, the African People’s Socialist Party, said afterward on the courthouse steps. “I am willing to be charged and found guilty of working for Black people.”

True, they always seem to be missing on the most important of times.
