              <text>This is 1969 photo of Clayton Chesson (right, glasses), founder of Brookhaven CORE and its first chairman. Chesson was head of the Patchogue NAACP before he came to CORE.  He served as a director of and then chairman of the board at the  Farm Workers Service Center, a program which provided legal and medical services to migrants in Riverhead  and helped them to unionize.&#13;
&#13;
Standing next to him is Arthur Mitchell (right, headband), a coordinator for the Center. Mitchell was rumored to be connected to the Black Panther Party although he denied being a member. The Center, however was said to be an outpost of Black Panther Party.&#13;
