Pete O'Neal, Sekou Odinga agree and speak.
Barbara Cox adds about party's mistreatment of women.
Kathleen Cleaver discusses how theory is used in party to dominate and confuse people, not lead. Discusses wave of assassinations and increased repression under Nixon.

Charlotte O'Neal describes the disbanding of the Kansas City, Des Moines and Omaha chapters by June Hilliard and the bust of Ed Poindexter.
Eldridge Cleaver concludes by appealing for a strengthening of the Party and asks Big Man Howard, Emory Douglas and Masai Hewitt to help correct the problems and fight against corruption in the organization.
