we fight and die for America. In a country where we aren't even free, we fight and die for way aren't even free. Why should we have to go fight and die for it? She It's one thing we're dead already. But we are coming alive. Mr. Lydecker,

00:00:48.650 - 00:01:13.640

you said that you knew the frustration of how the kids feel. Well, I'm here to say this to you that if the white man had to live as the Negro lives, they would be running over each other, jumping off Golden Gate Bridge. Mr. Brown myself, one

00:01:13.640 - 00:01:33.320

of the young men who states that there's a warrant out for his arrest, arrest as well as it's Mr Boone Green. Leroy Thompson. We did everything that was humanly possible last night to present to our Rather to prevent a race right. It was frightening. Yeah, And

00:01:33.320 - 00:01:52.950

if the situation continues to exist, there will be a Holocaust in Marin City. As an aftermath of the worst disturbance yet in Marin City, the Marin County Board of Supervisors met here today in the marine civic center toe. Learn about the problems of that frustrated community.

00:01:52.960 - 00:02:10.470

Many of the witnesses were participants in last night's demonstration and fire. This is what the supervisors heard. You talk about this small burning reading and everything is exaggerated, such as what was destroyed. Well, if we wanted to destroy something, look at all the big redwoods up

00:02:10.470 - 00:02:32.680

in mirror would. Oh, that would That would really be a big bonfire. Suppose that came down. See, these people are getting mad on, uh, the more they think. Well, what is it? We will show this white land and maybe you say to yourself, Okay, why should

00:02:32.680 - 00:02:48.700

we help them get an education? Why? Why shouldn't you? Who's gonna help us if you don't? Who's kept us down all these years that we have nothing to do? And I mean, we have no tools to work with who's kept us down that little all these

00:02:48.700 - 00:03:10.220

years? Who who has kept us here? And now that we are already Thio, come out of our shells and fight back? Now is your time to help us. Now is your time to unite with us. Because if you do not unite with us and quote me

00:03:10.220 - 00:03:42.400

on this, it's gonna be too late. Thank you. A nation divided cannot stand. You are numbers and whites. But once we start fighting among each other and killing each other, it's over. America will no longer be America Americans known for freedom. Why aren't we free? I

00:03:42.400 - 00:04:00.760

wanted to say to the sheriff's department if they have a representative here, Yeah, that the way they talked to the boys when they tried to place them under arrest is wrong. I understand that when a person is to be placed under arrest, he is to be

00:04:00.770 - 00:04:22.310

told that he is being placed under arrest. He is to be given a chance to come quietly. If not, he is to be subdued by forced this. They do not Do. You know, I didn't know what was going on in the world. I didn't know what

00:04:22.310 - 00:04:40.370

the world was like. I didn't know that you had, uh, really get an education and kind of be Uncle Tom. The way to get something to get where you are to get a good job. And, uh, it's just something you gotta do. Me can't go on

00:04:40.370 - 00:05:00.810

like this much longer. Last night, for the very first time I was a frightened human being. I was a very frightened human being because it wasn't a very small percentage, and I think it reflected the total mood. Uh huh. Of the Moran City Youth and Young
