25, 50 and 75 Years Ago
September 18, 1992
MIAMI — Two weeks after Hurricane Andrew hit, the people of southern
Florida continue to suffer from the combined effects of the natural
disaster and an unnatural disaster: the negligent and inadequate
response of the government. Tens of thousands are camped out in their
crumbling homes; an estimated 350,000 remain without electricity; 57,000
have no phone service; 250,000 are homeless. The death toll from the
hurricane and its aftermath stands at 38.
A health crisis is emerging in southern Dade County, with diseases
ranging from dehydration due to intense heat and lack of water to
salmonella and dysentery from contaminated food and water.
Meanwhile, politicians and businessmen are debating what and how much to
rebuild, and who will profit, and who will foot the bill.

DETROIT — In a new display of unity engendered by the Detroit uprising,
the Black People’s Tribunal, sponsored by the legal committee of the
Citywide Citizens Action Committee, conducted a peoples trial of a
national guardsman Theodore Thomas; two Detroit policemen, Ronald August
and Robert Paille; and a Negro private guard, Melvin Dismukes. The four
were found guilty by the Tribunal of conspiracy to maliciously murder
three unarmed Black youths in the Algiers Motel during the July
rebellion here.
Over 2,000 Black people attended the Tribunal, held on Aug. 30, and an
equal number were turned away because of lack of room. The integrated
jury included the well-known Black writer, John O. Killens, and Rosa
Parks, whose courageous stand against discrimination on buses led to the
1955-56 Montgomery, Ala., Bus Boycott.

More than any other people, the Jews have become the burning symbol of
capitalism in decay, of a civilization that threatens to fall back
completely into barbarism. The Nazis have made the Jewish people the
scapegoat of their system of rule by terror.
The inhuman treatment of the Jews by the Nazis has served also to test
the pretensions to humanity of the democratic capitalist lands.
We know how England refused permission to boatloads of Jewish refugees
to land in Palestine, even when already in sight of its shores. The
sinking of several such boats with the loss of hundreds of lives became
international scandals.
The United States has shown the same hypocritical attitude as the
British. The whole machinery of government from State Department to
foreign consular officials, was set into motion for but a single
purpose: to keep the Jews out.
