...Alert. The day before Dr. Noguchi announced his findings, DeFreeze was buried in Cleveland, where he grew up and members of his family still live. At the request of the family, services for the S.L.A. leader, who had been fascinated by guns ever since he was a juvenile delinquent, were conducted by blacks belonging to the Sunni Orthodox Muslim sect, though the dead man was not believed to be a Muslim. As the tan metal coffin was carried out of the church, hundreds in the crowd of 1,500 raised their arms to give the clenched-fist salute of black...

From Kansas City, he went to Cleveland where he was once again dismissed. Among the reasons: poor press relations and an even poorer won-lost record...
...case of Donald D. DeFreeze, the SLA's main spokesman, dismissing his politics as middle class disenchantment is simply impossible. DeFreeze was the eldest son of a poor and unstable black family in Cleveland. His father punished him three times when a child by breaking both his arms. He dropped out of high school at the age of 14, moved to Buffalo, N.Y., joined a street gang, and was arrested for grand larceny two years later...
