group
stood
up
in
front
of
Howard
Jr.
who
asked
them
to
be
seated.
Howard
Jr.
placed
his
hands
on
the
shoulder
of
one
of
the
brothers,
who
turned
and
struck
the
younger
Phillips.
Mr.
Phillips
attempted
to
retaliate
by
striking
out
at
the
group
with
a
crutch
he
was
carrying.
Following
this
all
three
members
of
the
family
were
involved
in
the
fracus
with
certain
members
of
the
group.
As
the
entire
group
was
leaving,
a
teacher
who
is
the
School
Band
Director
made
certain
remarks
to
the
group
regarding
their
behavior.
A
fight
ensued,
resulting
in
injury
to
the
teacher.
(The
press
reported
that
she
was
beaten
unconscious.
However,
this
was
inaccurate.)
A
young
man
in
a
truck
backed
into
one
of
the
brothers
injuring
his
wrist.
The
brother
struck
the
man
who
was
driving
the
truck.
Police
arrived
and
began
breaking
up
the
crowds.
Sixteen
brothers
were
taken
into
custody
and
charged
with
inciting
to
riot,
riot,
aggravated
assault
and
battery,
conspiracy
and
nuisance.
A
few
of
the
brothers
obtained
private
attorneys
while
others
were
assigned
lawyers
from
the
Public
Defenders
Office.
All
were
under
$2,500
bail
pending
trial
date.
Harry
Seth
received
repeated
visits
from
police
officers,
including
one
of
the
captains
of
the
Chester
Police
Department.
He
was
encouraged
to
identify
other
participants
in
the
melee.
Refusing
to
do
so,
Harry
was
tried
with
the
fifteen
other
brothers,
on
charges
mentioned
above,
and
found
guilty.
During
the
course
of
the
trial
eight
brothers
were
advised
by
their
attorneys
to
plead
guilty,
suggesting
to
them
that
they
probably
would
receive
only
light
sentences
of
a
few
months.
�These
eight
brothers
were
all
sentences
to
terms
ranging
from
4
½
to
11
years
to
a
maximum
of
6
to
12
years.
Eight
other
brothers
were
remanded
to
the
County
Prison
Farm,
under
$2,500
bail,
to
await
sentencing
in
May.
This
time
is
given
to
provide
opportunity
for
attorneys
to
file
appeals.
Lemuel
Belgraves,
one
of
the
brothers,
was
not
with
the
original
group
when
the
fight
started
but
joined
them
afterwards
and
attempted
to
help
break
it
up.
At
the
trial
the
arresting
officers
testified
that
Lemuel
attempted
to
break
up
the
fight,
yet
he,
too,
was
found
guilty.
(This
point
can
be
found
in
the
trial
transcript.)
�-‐2-‐
There
are
many
people
in
the
community
who
feel
that
these
sentences
represent
an
attempt
on
the
part
of
Delaware
County
Judicial
System
to
suppress
this
county’s
black
community.
We
feel
the
brothers
should
have
been
charged
with
fighting
and
should
be
tried,
and
if
found
guilty,
punished
accordingly.
It
is
palpably
clear
that
justice
for
blacks
in
Delaware
County
is
different
than
justice
for
whites.
These
sixteen
young
men’s
crimes
were
being
black.
E.g.,
a
few
weeks
following
the
sentencing
of
the
brothers,
there
were
similar
situations
of
fights
at
ball
games
at
Darby-‐Colwyn
and
Monsignor
Bonner
High
Schools.
(Both
predominately
white
schools.)
At
these
fights
crowbars
were
used,
limbs
were
broken,
and
hospitalization
was
required.
The
youths
involved
were
fined
up
to
$100.00
and
$11.00
court
costs,
and
were
admonished
by
the
magistrate
next
time
they
appear
before
him
for
a
similar
act
they
will
be
sent
to
Media
immediately
on
a
charge
of
inciting
a
riot.
The
magistrate
said,
“You
can
tell
your
friends
that
you
are
not
going
to
turn
Upper
Darby
into
another
Chester.”
A
week
following
the
sentencing,
an
ad-‐hoc
committee
was
formed
to
plan
methods
to
secure
a
fair,
just
trial
for
all
brothers
concerned.
The
group
is
called,
“Parents
Committee
for
Justice”
and
is
composed
of
community
organizers
working
in
Delaware
County,
parents,
relatives,
friends
and
others
concerned
for
justice.
For
the
past
three
weeks
the
group
has
been
engaged
in
fund
raising
to
defray
legal
cost
and
related
expense,
and
fact
finding.
All
attorneys,
both
Public
Defenders
and
private
were
visited
by
teams
to
find
out
their
interest
and
future
intentions.
Parents
and
relatives
of
the
brothers
involved
were
also
visited
to
gain
their
impression
of
the
entire
proceeding.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
three
black
law
students
volunteer
to
assist
the
parents
committee
in
any
way
deemed
necessary.
Our
present
plan
is
to
increase
the
involvement
of
the
total
community
in
recognizing
that
this
travesty
of
justice
cannot
be
allowed
to
go
uncontested.
We
will
continue
to
meet
weekly
and
do
everything
in
our
power
to
mobilize
the
support
from
the
community
via
speaking
before
groups,
mailing
and
distributing
brochures,
giving
the
facts
in
the
case
as
seen
through
the
eyes
of
the
community.
Petitions
are
currently
being
circulated
requesting
the
U.S.
Department
of
Justice
to
conduct
a
full
and
thorough
investigation
of
the
judicial
system
of
Delaware
County
and
the
activism
of
the
Chester
Police
Department.
Although
we
do
not
condone
violence
engaged
in
by
these
young
brothers,
we
certainly
understand
its
true
cause.
The
truce
causes
are
the
condition
under
which
black
people
are
�forced
to
live
in
Chester.
The
facts
substantiating
this
statement
have
been
stated
over
and
over
–
public
hearings
conducted
by
the
Pennsylvania
Human
Relations
Committee
and
by
voluminous
reports
complied
by
a
number
of
interest
groups.
But
still
the
crises
of
our
frustrated
youth
fall
on
deaf
ears.
We
were
not
at
all
surprised
when
violence
erupted
at
a
game.
The
schools
in
Chester
have
been
among
the
chief
contributors
to
a
climate
that
spawns
unrest.
For
years
the
schools
have
exploited
our
black
young
men.
They
are
encouraged
to
participate
in
athletic
activities
with
the
promise
of
college
scholarships
while
being
advised
to
take
courses
like
practical
arts
that
have
little
terminal
utility.
�
-‐3-‐
Upon
graduation
these
athletes
are
unable
to
accept
college
scholarships.
It
has
been
estimated
that
the
schools
gross
over
$20,000
a
year
from
athletic
events.
Yet
blacks
benefit
little
from
this.
The
above
situation
plus
the
absence
of
black
coaches
has
been
a
thorn
in
the
side
of
the
black
community.
While
the
football
game
was
in
progress
a
community
group
was
peacefully
protesting
these
conditions.
It
is
our
firm
belief
that
the
sentences
imposed
on
our
brothers
was
a
direct
attempt
to
curtail
any
challenge
of
the
school’s
unfair
and
unjust
practices.
A
further
example
of
the
school’s
insensitivity
to
its
students
was
its
refusal
to
take
advantage
of
the
Government
funds
to
provide
a
much
needed
school
lunch
program
despite
the
fact
that
Chester
School
children
are
among
the
neediest
in
the
county.
The
school,
however,
saw
fit
to
vote
money
to
send
the
school
board
members
and
the
directors
to
a
convention
in
Miami.
We
as
black
people
must
assume
our
first
responsibility
–
the
protection
of
our
families.
