At the end of February the Brigade received eight new posters, 100 of each, honoring women revolutionary fighters and martyrs, from Vietnam, Chile, Kurdistan and Algeria, a poster highlighting women and children killed by male cops, and two Brigade posters.

On March 6th a vase with three red roses and a poster of three members of the Weather Underground who died on that date in 1970 was left at the place where they died.

Subsequently, of the eight hundred posters, over 700 were either taped or stapled to empty store fronts, wooden fences, telephone poles etc. at six New York City neighborhoods: Harlem, Jackson Heights, Washington Heights, El Barrio, Loisaida and the South Bronx. A number of contacts resulted from this posterng campaign.

Next: 5,000 Brigade pamphlets have been ordered from our printer and when they arrive, each weekday, 100 copies will be given out at fifty subway stations in poor and working class neighborhoods throughout New York City.

And as a sign that the powers that be are noticing all this, the place where Brigade work is being done out of, a private apartment, was visited twice in the same day by an FBI agent. He pounded furiously on the door and then left a note asking us to email him, which of course will never never happen because we don't talk to them...

As the Puerto Rican nationalist fighter Blanca Canales once said "We have to continue even if it takes one hundred years."

Thank you for your patience in reading this...

I used the rare documents collection at the Schomburg library today to read up on some Black revolutionary literature, specifically The Black Panther before the 1971 split and the Harlem BPP's "Right On" newspaper and everything was so well organized and the young woman who was working there was so friendly and helpful in explaining how to read and use the material, just thought I would thank her for all her help.

I remember marching down Telegraph Avenue celebrating the final victory of the Vietnamese people over Amerikan imperialism, that glorious picture of an NVA tank bursting through the gates of the Presidential Palace and all the embassy folks being evacuated by helicopter! We chanted "Ho Ho Ho Chi Minh the NLF won!" Ah what a glorious day that was for us and for all of humanity.
