Rising Up Angry (1970)

On May 24th, the pig Chicago Tribune ran an ad for Elgin watches (also pigs). This racist ad said: “Your new Elgin is better than the Elgin Zapata was willing to kill for in 1914.” What a crock of shit! Zapata killed the pig government’s troops to help his people get more land and to build a better life for the Mexican people. He wouldn’t kill for some puny ass Elgin watch.The pigs try to steal the people’s heroes and make them out to be chumps or thieves. That’s one of the ways they fuck us over—they keep us from knowing about our heroes and leaders.
