Noting that "what white America respects is not weakness but strength." Monro called upon the black people to folow the example of the industrial workers of the 1930's and begin thinking of themselves as "a great, national, black union...
FRIENDS, which was written, produced, and directed by former M.I.T. student Filippe Herba, is well worth seeing because it says a great deal about the good and bad points of student films. Students who get into films come from primarily two backgrounds-drama and visual studies-and a student's experience frequently determines the approach he will use in his film.

This admission reflects two of her best traits: her refusal to examine any phenomenon with less than all of her formidable critical powers and her honesty. She relies totally on what she sees and feels and will not lapse into cliches. This is quite a feat when you are writing about a nation which your government is trying to exterminate...
