They discuss how national director Roy Innis ordered several members of CORE to be assaulted (including Ray Cunnigham of L.A. CORE) and others to be shot including CORE leaders Waverly Yates and Jimmy Howard. The terms "hit" and "shoot" are used ambiguously in these articles. However, in another article published by the Amsterdam News ("As Primary Day Draws Near Owens-Innis Battle Rages", Sep. 6, 1986) Innis' bodyguard Marvin Peay, who was interviewed for these Post articles, clearly stated that "Innis ordered him to kill his political rival Waverly Yates...".

Title A name given to the resource 5th source that stated Ray Wood suggested bombings in CORE Subject The topic of the resource Ray Wood Description An account of the resource This is an article from a 1965 issue of the Militant which describes how undercover police officer Ray Wood was suggesting to members of CORE they should commit violent acts such as bombings. It supports similar statements made by East River CORE member Stuart Wechsler and Bronx CORE member Rafael Martinez. This is significant because these suggestions were being made long before Wood joined the Black Liberation Front (BLF) whose members were imprisoned for conspiracy to bomb the Statue of Liberty. It also further helps to exonerate BLF members Walter Bowe and Khaleel Sayeed who stated in court it was Wood's suggestion to bomb the Statue of Liberty which would have been entrapment on behalf of the police. These statements also contradict what Ray Wood is reported to have said in the book "The Ray Wood Story" by Reggie Wood. On page 48, Ray Wood claimed his BOSSI/NYPD handlers ordered him to try and convince Collier, Bowe and Sayyed to blow up the Statue of Liberty at a meeting on Jan. 19, 1965. The statements of these CORE members speak to the several inconsistencies in "The Ray Wood Story". Several questions should be asked. Did the idea to blow up the Statue of Liberty actually come from Wood's handlers or Wood himself? Was Wood telling the truth about the Jan. 19, 1965 meeting? If Wood was lying about this event is it possible he lied about other details in his confession which represents the crux of "The Ray Wood Story"? It should also be noted that Wood's daughter has openly questioned the legitimacy of Wood's confession. The article states: "Last year, while a member of CORE, Wood participated in an all night vigil protesting the government's inaction concerning the three civil rights workers killed in Mississippi. I was told by a Negro Minister, Rev. Robert Kinlock, that Wood suggested to him at the vigil that bombing Times Square would be a good idea. Wood made the same suggestion that night to a young member of CORE, Jerry Tehan. Defense attorney Mark Lane tried to have Tehan tell his story on the stand, but the judge sustained prosecution objections, and Tehan was not allowed to explain this incident." Rev. Kinlock was a friend of CORE who participated in several CORE actions including the 1963 White Castle demonstrations. The article and full issue are included in separate files above.

Title A name given to the resource Arnie Goldwag, Brooklyn CORE, on Jitu Weusi Description An account of the resource This is an audio clip of Brooklyn CORE member Arnie Goldwag speaking about working with Brooklyn CORE's Jitu Weusi after Goldwag had been pushed out of Brooklyn CORE because he was White. In his oral history with New York CORE member Sheila Michaels tells a story of how, working as an investigator for the Administration for Children’s Services, he risked his job by insisting on placing a young girl who had to be taken out of an abusive home into the care of Weusi. Rather than place the girl in the foster care/group home system, he believed Weusi could do the job through the EAST, the Black educational and cultural center Weusi helped found in the 1970's. What is interesting is that this was done after Weusi had been labeled as anti-semitic for his various actions during the Ocean-Hill Brownsville demonstrations over community control of local public schools. Goldwag, the brother of an orthodox rabbi, had been pushed out of Brooklyn CORE as it went Black Power, a move for which he blamed Sonny Carson, a man who he had no kind words for. Even with that, his interview indicates his ability to be critical and distinguish between Carson and Weusi, a characteristic the White members of CORE were not often given credit for.

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.
