[Marxism] Richard Pryor on Attica



First, for New Yorkers, WBAI Building Bridges now (7 pm) is preempting
their scheduled show to cover Stanley William's immanent execution.

Just before it started the news show there played a tape of Pryor
commenting on Attica. You could hear how upset he was, and after saying
how insulting it was that the powers that be were asking people to
deny the reality of what happened he said something to the effect of,
"that's OK, niggers know what happened."

Then he read this incredible poem he wrote -- still barely able
to control his voice -- about mad dogs, calling for people to shoot
them down before they do more damage.

Has anyone seen a copy of that poem?
