Cleaver Invited

According to an information sheet distributed
by the VCHR, Black Panther Eldridge
Cleaver, author of Soul On ice, has been invited
to speak at the rally. The VCHR refused to say
when Mr. Cleaver was supposed to arrive,
claiming that "for obvious reasons, the time
and arrangements for Mr. Cleaver's arrival
cannot be disclosed to the public."

Mr. Cleaver has not been in the United
States for some time as he has been indicted for
murder of a policeman. He reportedly has been
in Cuba and Sweden avoiding the charge.
