Part of the 45th yr Celebration of the BPP

Hey BJ
 
I'm currently in Krakaw Poland presenting at an International conference and my presentation today was titled The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". I then gave them a history of the BPP.
 
During the talk I played the video version of the song and when I finished the reports from the breakout groups in which I had the participants explore their roles as Interculturalists in the current freedom struggles in the world today, I finished by playing Off The Pig. It was great.
 
On to France next week. I will miss the reunion because I will be in the Netherlands talking to community groups about the Party on October 20th and 2st before working in Finland.
 
Give my best to all the Comrades.
