The
Symbionese Liberation Army dates its formation from the escape of "Cinque" (Donald DeFreeze
?) from [Vacaville Prison]
? on
March 5,
1973. He had been active in revolutionary politics in prison, and sought sanctuary with the [Black Cultural Association]
? in the
San Francisco Bay Area. For some time he shared a house with future SLA members [Willie Wolfe]
? and [Russ Little]
?, then moved in with [Mizmoon Soltysik]
?. They became lovers (Cinque was black, Mizmoon white, a fact that was significant in 1973) and began to outline the plans for forming the "Symbionese Nation."
