FREEDOMWAYS        THIRD QUARTER 1969
cited my earlier writings on the subject of black force, black unity, black love. These are the issues at stake here and only the unity represented and pursued with benevolence and dignity by the Federal Government, without pandering to foreign sentiments, can achieve the forward movement of these issues in this crisis. 
Reality and reason demand that those of us who are Africans born outside of Africa should now address all our efforts and selves to supporting Nigeria's cause, the unity of blackness and the dignity of man, wherever we are, whenever we can.

SAGA OF THE AUDUBON MURDER
DAVIC HENDERSON 

brothers and sisters
we are gathered here today
to re-commemorate
the assassination of malcolm x
our assassin historians
have placed us here 
among the remnants
of george washington's 
birthday party 

but somehow 
we cannot recall the revolution 

somehow
all we can remember of american history 
is the clatter of gunfire
in the audubon ballroom 
the chest-bared screams 
of malcolm of all of us
over backwards in blood 

so much blood in this soil 
we all gonna turn red 
someday 

IN OUR
NATIONAL PASTIME OF ASSASSINATIONS
WE HAVE LOST NO FOOLS
