Title A name given to the resource photo of Bronx CORE chairman Herb Callender and undercover agent Ray Wood in New York Times Subject The topic of the resource Bronx CORE Description An account of the resource This is the 1964 New York Times article which features a photo of Ray Wood, the undercover agent who infiltrated Bronx CORE, being arrested with Bronx CORE chairman Herb Callender. The two had attempted to make a citizen's arrest on Mayor Wagner. Wood is the Black male with sunglasses and a light suit in the center of the photo. Callender is the Black male on the left wearing the dark suit. Wood is identified in the article as 'Ray Woodall'. At the time of the photo , it was not known that Wood was secretly working as an police officer for the Bureau of Special Services (BOSS) also known as the 'Red Squad', a section of the New York City Police Department tasked with gathering intelligence on activist groups within New York City and keeping them under surveillance. The New York Times article the photo comes from is also included below.

Title A name given to the resource article on CORE undercover police agent Ray Wood and assassination of Malcolm X Subject The topic of the resource Malcolm X, Ray Wood Description An account of the resource This is an explosive article which places undercover NYPD police officer Ray Wood at the assassination of Malcolm X. It also suggests an answer to one of the great mysteries surrounding the event - the identity of the second man who was arrested at the Audubon. Wood aka Ray Woodall, was an undercover police officer for a special section of the New York City Police department called the Bureau of Special Services (BOSS) also known as the ‘Red Squad’. He not only infiltrated Bronx CORE, he attended Harlem CORE functions, dated women from the chapter and frequented East River CORE meetings. According to documents from the national CORE office, he had also been Bronx CORE’s delegate to CORE’s national convention which would gave him the opportunity to gather intelligence on CORE chapters from across the country. He was responsible for the arrest of Bronx CORE chairman Herb Callender and testified against East River CORE leader Blyden Jackson in front of the House of UnAmerican Activities Committee. He infiltrated another Black radical group and convinced members to try and blow up the Statue of Liberty. CORE members during oral histories have stated he also tried to convince them to do the same at least a year earlier as well as other illegal and violent ‘militant’ actions while a member of CORE. It is becoming clearer that Wood used CORE as a way to gain entrance to the activist community in NYC especially in Harlem. It appears that once he joined CORE, he began to spread out to different Black radical groups in the city. He went on to infiltrate the Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM) and provided testimony against the Black Panther Party for the trial of the Panther 21. According to one source, he even hung around Mosque #7 while Malcolm X was the minister there, usually standing in the back, asking questions. The article was written by Garrett Felber, who worked on Prof. Manning Marable’s Malcolm X Project as a graduate student. He raises an important question: What would Ray Wood have been doing at the Audubon given that the Statue of Liberty case had been reported in newspapers only days before Malcolm’s assassination? His cover was already blown. It is important to note that he is identified as ‘Ray Woods’ and not Ray Woodall, which could mean that if it was him that was seen at the Audubon, he was identified by his real name and not his alias as an undercover police agent. The article questions whether whoever stated to Kochiyama they saw Ray Wood at the Audubon could have been mistaken. It does not take into account that Kochiyama had been a member of CORE. There were also other members of CORE who were at the Audubon that day. The article also does not take into account that several other members of CORE were also members of the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU) or that other CORE members had originally come out of Mosque #7. Ray Wood would have been known in the NYC activist community, especially after a photograph of him being arrested with Herb Callender a year earlier appeared in a New York Times article. There is good reason to believe Ray Wood would have been recognized if CORE and OAAU members saw him at the Audubon. This revelation of Wood being at the Audubon is a bombshell in that if this article is true it again suggests police involvement in the assassination of Malcolm X, something which has been much speculated on. My thanks to Dr. Nishani Frazier for bringing my attention to this article.

Title A name given to the resource photo of Yuri Kochiyama, 7 Arts CORE, after assassination of Malcolm X Subject The topic of the resource 7 Arts CORE members Description An account of the resource This is a photo of 7 Arts CORE member Yuri Kochiyama (left page, glasses, black dress) cradling the head of Malcolm X just after he had been assassinated at the Audubon Ballroom on February 21, 1965. The photo speaks to just how involved Kochiyama was in the Black freedom movement and how she was also a member of the minister's organization, the Organization of Afro-American Unity (OAAU). The photo also speaks to the fact that there were members of CORE in New York that were also members of the OAAU, such as Calvin Cobb of Suffolk County CORE, Omar Abu Ahmed and Pat Walker of East River CORE, Ralph Poynter of Harlem CORE and Herman Ferguson of South Jamaica CORE. It also speaks to a closeness between CORE and Malcolm X. As I have noted previously, I assume for several reasons that he was closer to CORE than any of the other civil rights organizations.

Title A name given to the resource photos of and articles on The EAST Subject The topic of the resource Brooklyn CORE members Description An account of the resource This is a collection of photos of and articles on the EAST, the cultural nationalist organization founded by Jitu Weusi (among others). I am including it here for several reasons: <br />- as I have argued previously, the EAST in many ways represents a natural evolution of ideas that started in Brooklyn CORE<br /> - several members of Brooklyn CORE were also members of the EAST and the EAST had a close working relationship with the Dr. Sam Pinn of Brooklyn CORE in the 1970's and 1980's. Brooklyn CORE's Sonny Carson is included in the mural (bottom right) on the building's front. <br />- there has been precious little scholarship done on the EAST. Having all these items in one place encourages scholarship by making it easier for students. <br />* The place to start is still Dr. Kwasi Konadu's book 'A View from the EAST'<br /><br /> Included here (besides the photos of the former EAST headquarters at 10 Claver Place in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn) are:<br /><br /> - a copy of Black News*, a newspaper published regularly by the EAST similar to the Black Panther's newspaper. This copy is significant because it lists Msemaji Weusi (aka (Maurice Fredricks of Brooklyn CORE) as part of the editorial board. It also includes an interesting article on Jitu Weusi and COINTELPRO. (taken from freedomarchives.org) <br /><br />- a hard to find article* on the EAST's jazz nightclub that includes photos taken by Basir Mchawi, a leader of the EAST who also used to hang around the Harlem CORE offices as a teenager in the mid 1960's. (from Wax Poetics magazine) <br /><br />- a journal article on writings by Black prisoners during the 1970's that focuses on the work of Jitu Weusi and Jim Seitu Dyson (also of Brooklyn CORE). This is the only piece I have come across that discusses Seitu's work from a scholarly perspective. Shout out to Dr. Maisha Winn for being down by law.<br /><br /> - this is a link to a conference paper done by Dr. Russell Rickford on the Uhuru Sasa Shule, the school at the center of the EAST ('Uhuru Sasa' is Swahili for "Freedom Now'). The piece is interesting for its praise and damning criticism. Rickford's dissertation was on the Afrocentric independent Black school movement of the 1970's and 1980's. Uhuru Sasa was one of the very first such schools and is discussed at length in his dissertation. <br /><a href="http://avery.cofc.edu/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/rickford21.pdf">CLICK HERE</a><br /><br /> - this is a link to series of interviews of members of the EAST including Jitu Weusi in which he discusses his reasons for starting the school in relation to the school boycotts of the 1960's in New York City.<br /><a href="http://www.centralbrooklynjazzconsortium.org/memoriesoftheeast.html">CLICK HERE</a> <br /><br />* photos taken from http://www.placematters.net/node/1545<br />credited to Martha Cooper Coverage The spatial or temporal topic of the resource, the spatial applicability of the resource, or the jurisdiction under which the resource is relevant Brooklyn , Bedford-Stuyvesant, 1970's black nationalism black power brooklyn core core Jitu Weusi the EAST https://corenyc.org/omeka/files/original/de00c1826324dd90729c66fe2d7f37ce.tiff 556bd9da8466fecb2d5638d91d53700c Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She is also the mother of chapter member Fatima Cortez Todd. They are shown here picketing at the United Nations. Besides being active in the Women's Strike for Peace, Witherspoon was also involved in the New York City Commission on Human Rights and its ‘testing for housing discrimination’. According to her daughter, ‘the apartment that we moved into… was through the courts because they had tried to discriminate and we won’. As chapter chairman, Witherspoon led fund raising efforts to support the Louisiana and Mississippi volunteers, was involved in the March on Washington and CORE’s boycott of Schaefer Beer and Greyhound Bus.
