(1847-1877) whs* Blacks began
to play teadtng roles in government and politic*. They could not
tolerate It and ao BLACK POWER
was stamped out snd Injustice
reigned. Today, we've tolerated
•aoegh injustice Therefore, we
intend to make our country. "with
liberty aad Battle* tor all," ae-
countahle to the people. As
Blacks, we ar* especially aware
of the situation: we know that It
is Nation Time: we know we must
build But, In order to do so. we
must BE AWARE of sll the pitfalls of osr society and overcome
them.
The first thing we muat be
aware of Is oar history, bscsase
