Black Power is only a slogan, but it is real to great numbers of people-r and it has many different shades of meaning. In its crudest definition, it is the war cry of embittered firebrands who spurn white America and propagate the nightmare of ghetto violence.

The P.D.P. convention was rescheduled a month earlier to forestall popular debate, and the Governor's forces charged that the selection of delegates was rigged. Last week, in San Juan's Hiram Bithorn Stadium, party regulars, under the impassive gaze of Luis Muñoz, jeered Sánchez, then overwhelmingly nominated Luis Negrón Lopez...
...Maritime Port Council, which acts as an umbrella for many small unions. So when 1,000 white-collar pickets gathered outside the Met offices, they were joined out of sympathy by 700 burly dock workers. The sales men and longshoremen marched through the streets chanting the peace demonstrators' slogan, "Hell no, we won't go." In this case, they meant that they would not leave the street and go to the sidewalk. To encourage them to do so, 150 policemen moved in with night sticks at the ready. Six hours after the demonstration began, two policemen...
