00:00:01.240 - 00:00:21.540

anything new to the black community that black businessmen ought to make contribution thio special problems which confront, uh, the total black communities. We give you a Newton credit, however, for adding the catalytic agent, which made that realization come about perhaps maybe five years earlier and the

00:00:21.540 - 00:00:37.920

black community than it would have otherwise. I strongly believe that all parties to this agreement are winners. Among the winners are the Black Panther Party, the ad hoc committee to promote black business, and Bill Boyette, the president of the Cal packed Liquor dealers of the East

00:00:37.920 - 00:01:45.030

Bay. Much the greater winners, however, are the black community in particular and the greater community in general. Oh, mhm way, Yes. Uh huh, yes. Became negotiation. With this contribution going to be based on a percentage of the

00:01:45.040 - 00:02:15.550

sales of the e. Think out of this struggle on I'm hopeful that the community will benefit from it more, especially black community and more, especially total community. And I think because the pressure was brought from the Black Panther Party, uh, maybe in a different direction that

00:02:15.550 - 00:02:32.360

maybe I would want it to come from. But nevertheless, we was fighting for the little different way than they put it, and I hope that some good can come from it. I'm very optimistic about the whole situation. In an important sense, this has been a creative

00:02:32.360 - 00:02:49.580

conflict. For out of it has come not only a new recognition of responsibility and respect on both sides, but a whole new organization created to respond to the desperate and special needs of the black community, which needs have often been dramatized by the Black Panther Party,

00:03:09.340 - 00:03:28.040

the community, uh, now going in the first, its first stages of organized itself in order to attend to the ills that we've been suffering so long. It was a very hard fight, and it was a fight among class brothers and friends. But most of the times

00:03:28.040 - 00:03:36.260

when we enter into these kind of contradictions, even among our friends, we come out with something in the interest of everyone.
