Young Lords 40th Anniversary: Community & Cadre

what is needed is a resurrection of the old style political mindset of the 1960 and 1970s.The blacks and Latin/street gangs are animalistic hoodlums.

@2cutekatie Many share your sentiment. The Panthers & Youngs of the 1960s began as street gangs that looked to a higher purpose. Elijah Mohammad, founder of the Nation of Islam in the US, found many of his followers in prisons. These were men, like Malcolm Little (aka Malcolm X) who found, in themselves, a greater social purpose.

Thanks for your comment. Please pass on the word.
