Clark Peters

Man was using bloods for cannon fodder.

They put our poor black on the front line, killing us off like flies.

Stormin earned his name.

Was in all kind of firefights.

Trained us in the way of the jungle.

Made us believe that we would get home alive.

First of all, I was with a group of students from Boston University.

We'd taken a bus down for, I think, the last moratorium.

I'm not too sure.

And as a medic, I was asked to not just look after the protesters, the demonstrators, but also if the police were hurt, to look after them as well, which seemed to make a lot of sense to my spirit.

When I was arrested, my thought of America went down a notch.

I was arrested for obstructing police lines after John Mitchell came on the top of the Department of Justice and asked everyone to leave in 20 minutes and gave us explicit directions on where to go.

I followed those directions.

We all did, just to find that we were being shunted into buses and taken to a holding cell in College Park, Maryland.

It was absurd.

And then to go to court the following day, we weren't even processed the first 12 hours.

But then to go to court the following day and to be put in front of a judge, he said, you've got to be here in my court here sometime in June or whatever.

I think this happened in April.

You have to be here in June.

And I was planning on going to visit my older brother in Paris in June.
