CONVICTION  OF  SIXTEEN  BLACK  YOUTH  FOR  ALLEGEDLY   “RIOTING”  AT  A  CHESTER  HIGH  SCHOOL  FOOTBALL  GAME.     In  October,  1968,  sixteen  young  black  men  ranging  in  age  from  18  to  25  years,  were   arrested  for  fighting  at  a  Chester  High  School  football  game.  During  the  melee  a  white   Delaware  couple  and  their  sixteen  year  old  son  were  injured.       The  brothers  were  charged  with  riot,  inciting  to  riot,  aggravated  assault  and  battery,   conspiracy,  nuisance  and  public  nuisance.  They  were  all  found  guilty  by  an  all  white  jury.   The  eight  who  pleaded  guilty  were  given  sentences  ranging  from  4  ½  years  to  11  years  to  6   to  12  years  in  prison.  The  eight  who  pleaded  not  guilty  are  either  out  on  $2,500  bail  or  in   the  county  jail  in  lieu  of  bail.       According  to  the  defendants  and  others  from  the  community  who  were  eyewitnesses,  the   following  events  took  place:     Mr.  and  Mrs.  Howard  E.  Phillips  and  their  son,  Howard  Jr.  were  seated  in  stands  directly  in   back  of  the  group  of  young  men.  (Approximately  10.  The  others  formed  after  the  fight  was   in  progress.)  Members  of  the  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.                   PARENTS  COMMITTEE  FOR  JUSTICE               �         � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata
