LOS ANGELES,- Students at
Thomas Jefferson High School
in the heart of the black ghetto
have voted overwhelmingly to
name their new school building

took place a few days after her
seizure by FBI agents in N.Y.C.
Jefferson High administrators
reportedly told the students that

The students said that their

their militant tradition and in
keeping with the overwhelming
sentiment of the black commun
