...issue of painters' helper, like many other issues in the past, is far more complex than members of SDS would like to think.

But I wish to point out right here and now that I was there as an interested individual. I participated in discussion neither as a member of SDS, nor as a member of Afro, but as Diorita Fletcher, black woman, class...
