Part one (part two - PM 145) of a two-part interview with Richard Dharuba (Bin Wahad) Moore from prison at the House of Detention in New York. Moore speaks in defense of the Black Liberation Army and the revolutionaries who have been imprisoned or killed in the struggle. The role of the New York police department is highlighted in the killing of Frank Fields, Anthony White and others. The media portrayal of Sam Napier’s death as the result of a feud between rival Panther factions is examined. Without validating this claim Moore discusses his perception of the strengths and weaknesses of the movement on the East and West coasts. Moore criticizes the Rx Program, a “behavioral modification” prison experiment which among other things prescribes the liberal usage of methadone. He relates this to the effects of drug addiction in the black community and what the proper response should be. Throughout the interview the ideology of the Black Liberation Army, Black Liberation Army, and it’s influence on other progressive movements is elucidated.
