Well kids, this is a big year for
me, and alot of others like us.
The reason is that the Harrisburg
Eight Trial is starting, and it is
an election year. 1 was said of
one of the defendants of the
‘Eight’, that they would like to
thank Mr. J. Edgar Hoover for
the services that he is rendering.
Here it is, it may well be the trial
of the century. Will it be the
continuance of ultimate
repression, or will it be a
sounding board for the world?
What do we have to say and feel
about this country, and what we
are experiencing now? We had
the Chicago Trial, in which
justice was shown to be what it
really is.
In this trial, there was much
theatre of the counter-culture,
gorilla or otherwise. The
courtroom was a parody of
American life—the thing is, was it
a parody of yesterday, today, or
tomorrow. That trial seemed to
be one of ‘hash and much
delusion’, but the Harrisburg
Eight Trial will be right down on
the hard line of reality. There
are no actors and theatre, for
this trial will be our time to get
up, to stand up for what we are
and be it. We’ve got the
courtroom with amplifiers to the
world. The first thing the free
peoples’ of the world are going
to be turned on to is, who is the
guilty party, who’s on trial here?
Our Harrisburg Eight brothers
and sisters won’t need to shout
obscenities; they only have
peace, freedom, and justice with
in which to direct their raps.
Their lives, and our lives are on
the line. Everything, 1 believe is
on trial. Knowledge comes with
death’s release, and alot of
people are gonna’ get
re-educated to what’s happenin’
here in the United States. As
much as the Eight, to educate
others is our job, our duty to
ourselves. Now we ain’t gonna’
need no violent tactics or any of
that shit cause that went out
with the past. All we have to do
is be real, be ourselves: passive,
understanding, communicative
peoples. We have to be aware of
what’s going on. We can’t sit
here anymore and be dead
complacent about it.
The time is ripe to
communicate with one another,
with any people. We got to stop
being cynical, and throw ‘don’t
give a fuck’ attitudes out the
window. But what can we do?
That’s always the first question
asked. Man first of all, you got
to have the spirit, and all that is,
is to know you are alive, and this
dehumanization must stop.
Next, we need media
communication, for students on
campuses, there is the
newspaper, radio, classes, etc.
There are local newspapers in
the area, there are people in
your community, and there’s
you and me. We don’t need
much more cause we got the

This to, is also an election
year. Said to be the year of the
consumer. Well brother and
sister consumers of the system,
this is our year. ItV our time,
our calling to get our collective
shit together and find out what
politician is going to listen to us,
and they got to start listenin’
soon. Though we don’t know
what all the answers are, its time
we get a little more organized
for humanity’s sake. We can’t
stand in the wings and be silent
and dead. Try and understand
what I feel, I’m the guy who

which apply to production
techniques in the theater. Cliff

progress of the production to
this point but added that more
people are needed if the play is
to be a real success. Anyone
