HARLEM
Activists protest war criminal Powell
Some 250 activists took part in an emergency
demonstration against Secretary of State Colin Powell at City
College of New York, located in Harlem, on Nov. 10. The former
general was speaking on campus. Most of the protestors at CCNY
were young people, a significant number of them Black and
Latino.
Speakers at the rally included Nellie Bailey, a leader of
the Harlem Tenants Council; representatives from Hunter College
Student Liberation Action Movement; Bill Doares from N.Y.
ANSWER and others.
Powell is one of the main administration apologists for the
Iraq war and occupation. During the first U.S. war against Iraq
in 1990, Powell was the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
Together with Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, Powell helped to carry
out the slaughter of tens of thousands of Iraqis.
