Henry discussed the defense of the Cuban Five -- the only time this important case was raised at a plenary -- and also of the New Jersey Four lesbians, all African Americans, jailed for up to 11 years for defending themselves. He aroused solidarity for some transgender people at the forum who had been harassed by the Atlanta police, called for making September an anti-war month, and raised a cry for ending capitalism and building a socialist society. He got a standing ovation.
