Black Masses Protest July 19 Lynching in Brooklyn
By Alton H. Maddox, Jr.
A grassroots movement is erupting in New York. The “power structure” and “ruling elite” can buy off leading Blacks but the Black masses are not “for sale.” Lynchings in the country have been routinely advertised. An example is Sam Hose in Coweta County, Georgia in 1889?
This is a pre-emptive strike. I have chosen to advertise my lynching on July 19 at 2:00 p.m. at the Brooklyn Grievance Committee, 335 Adams, Street, Suite 2400, Brooklyn, NY 11201. The Grievance Committee is the disciplinary arm of the Appellate Division, Second Judicial Department.
The Brooklyn Grievance Committee is already feeling the wrath of the Black masses. Thousands of our people have already sent postcards and petitions to protest an all-white lynching in Brooklyn. Others have called the Brooklyn Grievance Committee at 718-923-6300. White people have decided that Blacks in New York are powerless and that Black leaders are political pawns.
If we had any real Black leader who was not afraid to confront Colonial Governor Eliot Spitzer, Black people would be able to attend a public hearing instead of being barred from a private lynching. This is reminiscent of life on the plantation.
The U.S. Constitution supposedly barred Star Chamber proceedings. This closed door operation was prominent in England before the Constitution. This was the power of the king. Crispus Attucks, among other Blacks, died to end this practice. Through fear, leading Blacks will allow it to return.
If we had any Black leader who would confront Spitzer, our people would be able to witness my defense on July 19 and my cross-examinations of Supreme Court Justice William Erlbaum of Queens and Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Peter Cosalaro.
The jury ended People v. Maddox in 1985 with an acquittal on all counts. Spitzer was a member of the Manhattan district attorney’s office. He wants a rematch with a stacked deck. This is shades of O.J. Simpson. Double jeopardy is irrelevant.
Spitzer et. al. were part of an effort to stop a Black attorney who refused to bend, buckle and bow in the face of white supremacy and who insisted on the right of the Black masses to enjoy Sixth Amendment rights. The cases in Manhattan included Marla Hanson, Jonah Perry, Michael Stewart and the Central Park jogger case.
The right of representation does not belong to attorneys. It belongs to the people and any attorney who seeks to insist on Sixth Amendment rights, for Black people, will be punished. See, for example, Chokwe Lumumba and Lynne Stewart. This is also the cross that I must bear.
Attorney Louis Clayton Jones is sorely missed in New York City. He would not allow anyone to boss him and he fought for principles and not for cliques. Today, everyone is scared of Spitzer. He bullies Blacks worse than he is attempting to bully State Senator Joseph Bruno.
I will be alright on Thursday. The odds are in my favor just like they favored Adam Abdul Akim. But I am concerned about the safety of the Black colony. When whites discover that no leading Black has any backbone, the gig is up. We are perilously close to this scenario. Thursday will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
