privileged futures

[Terrance]

BERNADINE DOHRN: I remember the creative spirit of liberation and the
moral
force generated by Columbia students. Black and white students took
action in
solidarity with justice and freedom for others (in Vietnam and
Harlem)—and by risking
their own privileged futures, they forged meanings and discovered their
own humanity.
When several hundred students disrupted the status quo and defied their
own
upbringing by seizing university buildings, they uncovered a flood of
creativity: daily wall newspapers, art posters, real learning in a
crucible of activity, strike solidarity, legal defense strategies,
freedom schools, unity with the Harlem community.


I was attending a meeting at the Guild offices to plan the Democratic
National
 Convention protest legal support when somebody ran in saying that King
had been
assassinated in Memphis. We didn’t know what to do, but we all went
downstairs—this was on Beekman Street—and got on the subway and went to
Times
Square. Which apparently tens of thousands of other people were doing. I
don’t even
know why we went there.

Sale tells a different story. Like in VL these people all make
themselves look goody-goody and blame the other mother fucker. 

she was changing into her riot clothes: pants. We went up to Times
Square, and there was demonstration going on of pissed-off black kids
and white radicals. (KIDS? radicals, signism, right?) We started ripping
signs and getting really out of hand and then some kids (the black kids,
right?) trashed a jewelry store, Bernardine really dug it. She was still
crying, but afterward we had a long talk about urban guerilla warfare
and what had to be done now--by any means necessary. SDS.425

privileged mother Fuckers got a bunch of them "Kids" killed.
