Friday, April 24th at midnight, the YOUNG LORDS ORGANIZATION spc;nsored a benefit at the Apollo Th8at~r in Harlem for Rafael Viera and the National Lawyers Guild. Rafael, HlI3lth Cadre in the YLO and a Citizen of the Republic of .New Africa (RNA), is standing trial right now in Detroit for allegedly killing a policeman at last year's RNA convention, and needs $6000 for his transcripts. The National Lawyers Guild is a body of radical lawyers who represent the LORDS in court, without charging fees. Denise Oliver, Communications Secretary of the New York State YLO, hosted the show, which featured the Latin sounds cif Joe Bataan, rock by the Young Rascals, La Preferida, Elaine Yarborough and the Truth & Soul Ensemble, and the United Elephant Fund, a Latin avant-garde band. Also on hand was the Harley Four, a family of four Karate act that featured • six year old Brother, and the poetry of Pedro Pietrl. Kain, once part of the Last Poets with Chairman Felipe and David Nelson brought a new dimension into the art ~ of poetry. A solidarity telegram from Betty Shabazz, widow of Malcolm X, was read. In keeping with the spirit of the evening. all the artists performed for free, showing people what it could be like in a socialist society. Dbaruba of the Black Panther Party 21) spoke, and told the large • m,,~,~""re to ;~\)!!W~0u{. you"·m-)i btke that' as ~~oiIstructive~ criticism." Oharuba told the Brothers and SI~iers'tO "Come see '6out. Bobby", ref.erring to Panther Chairman Bobby Seale, presently imprisoned in New Haven on phony murder charges. The ~powers in e_rikkka have already decided in advance to murder Bobby in the. electric chair. To combat tbis. Dharuba said, "New Haven is si.. by 25 milliO;A Black People."

En esta 1jl)ciedad capltalists a nosotro£ nos niegan a.as necesldades baslcas como allmento, ropas, y vlvlendas decentes. Vamos a las escuelas por las mananas sln poder comer un desayuno caliente; el resultado es que ya no podemos concentrar en los trahajos 0 en los estudios. Como puede uno concentrar en los estudlos cuando el estomago esta grunlend07 Despues nuestros maestros nos dicen que nosotros somos estupldos y no podemos aprender de eeta manera, nos dan una atitud destructiva. y un complejo de Infenorldad por el resto de nuestras vidas. Nosotros. la ORGANIZACION DE LOS YOUNG LORDS., nos hemos dado cuents de esta situacion y bemos inetituldo un programa de desayuno situado en Emmaua House (124 este de la calle 116). Le damos comida a treinta (30) Rinos todas las manaoas antes de ir a la escuela. Los ninas rec1ben comidas como jugos de frutas,huevos, tocineta. y chocolate caliente. El programa educa nuestro pueblo a como una sociedad socialista podra cuidar las necesidade8 basicas de su pueblo.

LATIN A'MERICAN IVANGUARD, THE

trW• • • •_Throughout Latin America, the people are beg1nn1ng to awaken and challenge the .power of the gringo. For hWldreds of years 'first WIder Spantsh colonialelam and the~ ,under amerlklckan economic control our Latino Brothers and Sisters, from 'Santo . Domingo to Santiago, have suffered from hunger and misery. Two hundred million people--Brazilian dockwotters, Mexican cotton-pickers, Bollvlan miners, prostitutes and abandoned chil-' dren, the hWlgry and deprived, the Venezualan peltsant and the sback dwellers of Quito, The culture and Bogota, and Roaario. language of the IDea, the Arawak, the Yoruba and the bastard spaniards, the IIOIlS and daU(llu:ers of itallan, chinese, irIah immigranrs--all worIdDg and alavtng for one master who sucb their bloo4 and grows like a fungus watered by their sweat-the unteed 8t8tes. ; E-f'ery year biWo'!8 of do.llara in ~rotita resell the unteed statel from Brazwan coffee, BollVian tin, Chilean copper, Vell8zualan oU,. Puena lUcan supr, Argent1n1an beef. But tile people, opprslsed and exploited, continue to rellat and demand freedom. .' In Ul1J8IIIY, whicb has alwaYI been IMild up las, the colllltry With the best conditions, a . stable middle clan, a true democracy-even ,there the people bave begun to rise up demanding justice and a decent Ute from their opprsaaors. the Ul1J8IIIyan bll81nessmen who are onty hired lackeys of gringo capitaUata like rockefeller. . We muat begin to know our freedom figbtera. those who lead the struggle for the UIIeratioa of all Latinos, the modern IIOIlS and daugbters of BOUVEll, MAB.TI, LEBRON ZAPPAtA. CAM.~, and CRE.

The TUPAMAROS, legendary in all Latin America because of their powerful and creative defense of the poor of Uruguay. We must repeat over and over the name of RAUL SENDIC, the lea~ of . the TUPAMAROS. The noneamericaoo government tries to censor and squash news ~t the Uruguayan revolutionaries; but one task of the YLO, a task we do eagerly and pro'!.'.!y, is to educate Puena RicaDS, Blackll. and the amerikkkan whites about the struggle of our hermanos.

A member of the SocleUat Patty, Sendic' decided in 1960 to organize the sugar :and rk.e wotters of the latifundiaa in the colllltryside. He organized the UT AA (UniOII de Trabajadorea Azucareros de ~). The worker., known as the "peludos" (long haira), began a series of yearly marcbes to Montevideo, the capita.l--marcbes of 600 kilo. meters, demanding "tierras paratrabajar"expropriation of the Wlused latifundiaa. : .. Aat:be years went oil, noDe of the demands .ere IJIet and conditions got worse. Finally, the MLN (Movlm1anto Liberacion Nscional Tupamaros), a groUp of companeros convInced that armed struggle was the onty ..ay to liberation, hegan to organiZe an Wlderground army.
