black autonomy network community organization
working for economic and social justice in Benton Harbor, MI ...exposing state and local NAACP corruption
“The thrust [of the county courthouse] is to physically remove and destroy families
through the use of the criminal justice system. Every person they can put in jail;
every person whose voting rights they can revoke with a felony conviction;
every person they can cause to lose their job by putting them on probation;
every person they can cause to lose the ability to pay for basic necessities through
imposing ruinous court costs and probation is all part of the process. In the 1960s,
it was called Negro removal. In Bosnia, it was called ethnic cleansing. It could be
called genocide, the removal of the minority population for the purpose of
redevelopment of the land. That’s what’s happening in Benton Harbor and the
foremost leader of the resistance is Rev. Edward Pinkney.” -Atty. Hugh "Buck" Davis

Right On with The Right Ons My Brother Ed, In the end the Victory shall be yours, and them white folks ain't gonna like that. After coming to Benton Harbor since your so-called trial started, and watching how ignorant the racist Judge is (along with his undercover Klanman Prosecutor)I realize Jim Crow's offseed is still alive and well.
However along with your legal team of lawyers. You have your host of many friends and supporters behind you. Here's a special special thanks to the wonderful lady who helped to make this article possible Mary Gault. Also to Catherine Kelly, who is the publisher of the Michigan Citizen newspaper for publishing the story
a Extra special thanks.
Brother you are not in this battle
alone. Not only do you have a good defense team, but you have some of the world's best Rights Activists
backing you up, and GODS grace the Victory shall be yours.
I get a real kick out of watching
them two racist making a damn fool out of themselves. This is 2007,
but its been a long time coming, and justice will come to Berrien County so-called racist Justice system.
