A few members from 1995-1999 phoned but didn't show. 1 member from the local autonomous BB showed up with some burritos and some sabroso salsa -- muchimas gracias. Lack of interest didn't deter me or my family. We set up the banderas in the front yard, set up two tables with Chicano and Brown Beret history and at every 15 minutes to the hour from 1-6 pm a Brown Beret leadership development workshop was held on the sidewalk in front of my house.
Every so often a bulldog gangster would stool by and I would try to reach out to him, some were receptive, but most weren't. The drug addictos that regularly roam the street stayed off of our immediate block. Not sure if they thought I was a cop? They watched us from the corner of the next block over. Several of my neighbors who I regularly associate with never knew I was a active Brown Beret before they became my neighbors. They committed their children to the Brown Berets and they all agreed to provide them transporation to any local activities we particpate in. Some said they would be willing to dress out with their children too or help in other ways. Altogether we inducted and gave the Brown Beret oath to 16 chavalos and 6 parents.
The newly inducted Brown Berets of Illinios Ave, in Fresno, Califas, Aztlan, reclaimed their street today and declared that they will use all available educational resources so that they can pursue their dreams of becoming doctors, astronaunts, mechanical engineers, attorneys and teachers. They also pledged to give at least 5 hours per week to the BBNO for the betterment of La Raza. the betterment of La Raza.
Chicano Power.
