About this record

Taken from a speech given at the Western Regional Black Youth Conference, held in Los Angeles, California on Nov. 23, 1967. Introduction: Spurred by the intense rebellions of 1967, black people were groping with ways to heighten their struggle during the fall months of that year. As is the case today, there was much confusion then concerning the nature of the movement for black liberation. Many leading spokesmen continued to argue that the only problem which black people faced was a racial one.
