Rainbow People Rally Against Inquisition

   Kennedy Square in Detroit was the scene of a rally to show support for o our six sisters and brothers indicted to appear before the Grand Jury. Over 200 people came out to show support.

    The Federal Grand Jury exists to steal information by forcing our people to release testimony concerning their work amongst and for the people and to make political activists look like criminals.

    The rally began at 12:00. Ken Kelley gave a brief rap about the jury's intentions and the line of exposure/attack to be used.

Barbara Holliday, sister Disc jockette (?) from WRIF, gave a rap about the oppressive conditions at the Wayne County Jail, then got into some revered rock and roll jams. Then the UP arrived. Our music reeling and glancing of the tops of the DOWN TOWN'S sky scrapers. The UP played a short tight set; SHOTGUN, D-town rock, 'FREE JOHN NOW ! ', met with shouts of free marijuana smoke dope, JUST LKE AN ABORIGINE, people peeling in the heat "We ain't gonna die in this revolution!" 'SWIM' did it. Rainbow people kicking and splashing in the reflecting pool in Kennedy Square! The UP's music, the sounds af our struggle, was real and good.

   The Up were followed by three guerilla performances. Brothers and sisters acting out scenes that reflected the types of oppression that we as a nation oi NEW LIFE have to deal with to exist here, at bay to the beast's raving, in America.

    All of us here dug it. A rally. A chance to come together. A call for aid from our people. A chance to see and feel our strength. We are strong. Our strength as a people is realized when we get together. Stronger than 100 degrees of hot weather. Stronger than Detroit and all Ford's pollution, stronger than the Grand Jury and its legal ruses.

WE WANT FREEDOM SO WE CAN LIVE!!!!

FREE JOHN NOW! !

JUSTICE/FAST !1!

FREE PUN NOW !!
