Announcement for the rally and march in protest against the brutal massacre of two Southern University students who were shot dead by police that had been sent in quash weeks of demonstrations on the school's Baton Rouge campus. Text reads, "From the murders at Orangeburg, Texas Southern University, Jackson State, to Southern University in Baton Rouge Louisiana, we see a continuous pattern of "colonial murders" quote of Black people. How can we continue to claim that we are citizens in a country that continues to murder our people? We must recognize that just as our African brothers in South Africa are controlled by outsiders (U.S. government) who prop up the racist white South African government, so our people at Southern University, and San Francisco are controlled by outsiders. Whenever we move to take control over our lives, whether it be in Africa, or America we are faced with the dog-like forces of the police or military. Well the big fat pig cannot scare us. We will not stand by and let these murders continue to happen. We will march in support of Southern students. We must move to take control of our lives, and build our own educational institutions."
