...support to these heroes of peace. In our eyes, it is the duty of bishops, parish councils, priests' senates, and other Catholic leaders and organizations to rally to the side of brothers and sisters in trouble. We urge generous contributions to the defense fund currently being set up. The Gospel demands of us all that we dare take a stand when justice and peace are at stake...
...couple of years ago that the counter-culture was going to have an impact on the nation's athletics, one of the most conservative, narrow and encrusted segments of our society."

...pain from the ghetto streets, brutal nonfiction films about what it means to be poor and black. In Right On!, three young men who call themselves the Original Last Poets face the camera with coolly controlled rage, chanting their lacerating lyrics of defiance, a street-corner compendium of jive, gospel and blank verse. "Die, niggas," sings one, "die, niggas, so black folks can take over!"
