Washingtons third police district. There is contrast here. From embassy road to devastated 14th street, a quarter of violent in the spring rides of 1968. An average recouping 40 robberies, 16 aggravated assault , and high incidents of rape, homicide, and arson. With drug abuse resource of these crimes, 80 addicks this year will die from overdose. By fall of 1968, a Mayors Committee had chose the site for a new opportunity. With high hopes and more than 1 million, the plan was this to the road suspicion and fear among police and the people, find ways of helping the police was be a part of the community again. But there were those in the Third District whom the experiment was dangerously flawed. The overall goal of the project is to try to get at what we recognize is now a pervasive discharge between the citizens and the police. When you talk about control, it falls short of a total citizen control of the precinct. And there was no there was never any provision in the grant or in the plan for that sort of control.

And i remind everybody here that i might very well be shot as i walk out of that door if i happen to anger some white policeman heard i am very much aware of that, and every black person is.

So, we just have to try to figure out a way to make sure when you get as old as i am or even before that that you dont have to live in those kind of conditions. We dont have to see the drug addicts and the dope. So i think that is what we are talking about. How do you take it you like this and make sure he grows up to be a man. That he can stand tall, he can get the cat of advantages and opportunities that white people get. That means we have to do something to get some control for our community. How are you doing, sir . About what is happening in our community, right . And i think we can do that. Dont you think so . Right on. In august, 1945, 70 years ago, American Forces dropped two atomic bombs over japan.
