Huey Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black PantherParty for Self Defense, lies in the hospital at San QuentinState Prison, with a gunshot wound in his stomach, inflictedby an Oakland cop . An Oakland cop is dead and buried and asecond cop lies somewhere in some hospital with three bulletwounds in his body . Huey has been charged with the murder ofthe first cop and the shooting of the second .

The shooting occured in the heart of Oakland's blackghetto . Huey is a black man, a resident of Oakland's blackghetto, and_the two cops were white and lived in the whitesuburbs . On the night that the shooting occurred, there were400 years of oppression of black people by white people focusedand manifested in the incident . We are at that crossroads in -

history where black people are determined to bring down thefinal curtain on the drama of their struggle to free themselvesfrom the boot of the white man that is on their collectiveneck . Huey Newton knew that the chief instrument of oppressionof black people in America is the police departments of thecities . Through murder, brutality, and the terror of theirimage, the police of America have kept black people intimidated,locked in a mortal fear, and paralyzed in their bid for freedom .He knew that the power of the police over black people has tobe broken if we are to be liberated from our bondage . Thesegestapo dogs are not holy, they are not angels, and there is nomore mystery surrounding them . They are brutal beasts who havebeen gunning down black people and getting away with it . Theycall this "justifiable homicide" carried out by an officer ofthe`'law iit-,~,~e line of duty . Black people understand that thisis very true'°"- but not in the way that the lying mass mediawould have people believe .

The "duty"_that these wretched jackels are carrying outis to keep the niggers in .check ; the peacethat they arecharged with keeping is the peace of the power structure, thepeace of the Bank of America and General Motors . To performtheir duty, they must necessari ly disturb the peace of blackpeople . In fact, black people have had no peace since the firstday they sat foot on this bloody Babylonian soil called Ameri-ca . Peace is what black people seek, what they are determinedto have . Peace is what is being witheld from black people .

Newton heard Malcolm's voice and understood his message . 20,000,000 black people heard Malcolm's message and that same 20,

000,000 feel exactly the same way about it as Huey Newton feels .

20,000,000 black people say that the cops ark down wrong

from the get-go and that'Huey Newton is right . 20,000,040 black

people say that Huey is not guilty of any crime, that he is now

being held as a political prisoner, and they want him set free .

We know thatswhite people, the majority of them, neither under-

stana this npr do they believe that black people really meanthis . Some white people understand this, know it to be trueand just, and they back black people up in their just demandsfor liberation and an end to the terror .

Huey Newton's case is the showdown case . It marks theend of history . We cannot go a step beyond this point . Herewe must draw the line . We say that we have had enough ofblack men and women being shot down like dogs in the street .We say that we have had enough of cops being set free with averdict of justifiable homicide . We say that black people inAmerica have the right to self defense . Huey Newton has laidhis life on the line so that 20,000,000 black people can findout just where they are at and so that we can find out justwhere white America is at .

We have reached the point in history where we must claimthat a black man, confronted by a bloodthirsty cop who is outto take his life out of hatred for the black race, has a rightto defend himself -- even if this means picking up a gun andblowing that cop away . Make no mistake about it : that is wherewe are at today . A cop is nothing but a man in a uniform .Through their propaganda and brainwashing of the people theyhave us believing that there is something supernatural orspecial about a cop . A cop is a human being just like anybodyelse, he came into the world just like anybody else, and hecan leave this world just like anybody else .

7HE BLACK PANTHER

Armcd NcroliIn s. Africa

The following letter wassentAug , 27to Oliver Tambo,President of the African National Congress by H. RappBrown, Chairman and JamesForman, International AffairsDirector of the Student Non-violent CoordinatingCommittee,

Oliver TamboPresidentAfrican National CongressP . 0 . Box 2239Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

Dear Brother Tambo :

Following the death of ChiefAlbert Lithuli the AfricanNational Congress stated tothe International Seminar onApartheid, Racism and Colon-ialism in Southern Africa heldin Kitwe, Zambia that it haddecided to wage a revolution-ary armed struggle againstthe illegal white South Afri-can government,

Since the seminar youhave formed a military alli-ance with the Zimbawe AfricanPeoples Urion, We have alsobeen informed that you havesent armed guerillas intoSouth Africa to commit selec-tive sabotage and to wage anintense liberation struggle,We know that this decisionwas not made lightly or with-out adequate training and pre-paration to sustain the ini-tial efforts . Therefore weare not surprised that theSouth African authoritiesare carrying on a three nationsearch for your guerillas .We send to you our moralsupport and we pledge to helpin other ways as you requestit .

Moreover, in the UnitedStates, we ,are this day, Sun-day, the 27th of August, 1967,calling on black people not tobuy new General Motorscars for the year 1968, Weare fully aware that GeneralMotors is a heavy investorin South Africa and the pro-fits from exploited labor ofour brothers in South Africamakes this company evenricher .

We are making this appealin the city of Detroit, thestate of Michigan, whereGeneral Motors has its main'plants . While we are awarethere are other United Statescompanies operating in SouthAfrica, we believe by callingfor a selective boycott of1968 General Motors cars wemay in some small mannerassist the struggle for thearmed liberation of SouthAfrica . We hope by thisaction to pressure the UnitedStates capitalists to o~ith-draw their investments beforewe see the sorry sight of theUnited States governmentsending troops, some of whomwill be Negroes, to supportthe ?obits racist regime inSouth Africa and to protectthe white American citizensand their dollars .

In brotherhood,

A MESSAGE FROMCHAIRMAN

H.RAP BROWNDear Brothers and Sisters in B1ack,Communitiesthroughout the United States :

Our brothers and sisters in South Africa have launch-an armed revolutionary struggle against the fascists,illegal white governments of Rhodesia and South A-frica . In Rhodesia some 250,000 whites are suppres-sing the rights of 4 million blacks : 1n South Africafor,over fifty years some 2 million whites have bru-tally suppressed the right of self-determination of 'the African majority . But the revolutionary armedstruggle has begun and we shall win .

_

The hour has come when we must support our bloodbrothers . We cannot sit back and wait until theUnited States has sent troops to Rhodesia andSouth Africa . Already in South Africa it is theheavy investment of United States capital that make;this regime stay in power .

You must help :

This issue will soon be broughtbefore the Security Council of the United Nationsand even the General Assembly . Do not stand alooffrom the debates . Dress in your national Africandress, go to the United Nations, hear and partici-pate in the discussions .

Too long we . as Africansin the United States!have failed to show solidaritywith our African brothers on the continent . We theOverseas Africans must realize that-we can do'some-thing and our presence at the United Nations is anexpression of solidarity which is important for themorale of the brothers fighting the guerrilla ssa~.,;in Southern Africa .

5 . If you are in school, stay there and learn in-dustrial skills that are needed in African countriesand will be needed once the liberation of SouthernAfrica has been accomplished . If you are out ofschool, get back in and learn the sciences, learnengineering, learn medicine .

SNCC Veicreo DiesMany lament the seeming change that has taken place in the StudentNonviolent Coordinating Committee and its corps of dedicated, courageousyoung blacks. They were the ones who sat-in and went on the Freedom

Rides and into Miseissi~pi . In the November issue of Esquire, DwightMcDonald asks of SNCC, . . .how did all that dedication and idealism sourso rankly in two or three years?"

That is the question of those whopinned their own romanticism on those young blacks, The mare relevantquestion ie, what toll did tire sit-ins, Freedom Rides, nonviolentdemonstratic -r~s, fissis~lt:r,i, ~.=" trvia and Alabama have upon the youngNCC activists?

Huey Must Be Set Free!guns and one for black men with guns . Either human life issacred or it is not . If human life is sacred then we mustdemand that black life also be considered sacred .

On the very same day that the shooting incident invol-ving Huey occurred, a 70 year old black man in Palo Alto had-his head blown off by a cop, from behind, and he was unarmed .Yet there has been no outcry about that . There has har3lybeen a peep about it . Was this 70 year old black man's lifesacred?

The racist dog Oakland cops say that this dead cop isthe first one who has been killed "in the line of duty" intwenty years . Yet that same Oakland police force has shotand killed scores of black men and women in that same period .What about them? Don't trey count? Who is keeping the sta-tistics about them?

And what are we supposed to do aboutthat? Are we supposed to just sit back calmly and add anotherdigit to the statistics everytime another black person iskilled by an Oakland cop? We know-that that_is what theywant us to do -- but we are here to say that those days aregone : Does everybody understand that? THOSE DAY ARE GONE :THE DAY WHEN A COP CAN SHOOT A BLACK MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILDDOWN IN COLD BLOOD AND HAVE IT RULED JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE ISGONE FOREVER .

FROM NOW ON WE SAY : ONE MAN, ONE LIFE :

Undoubtedly, the Oakland cops would be tickled pink ifinstead of having a dead cop and a live Huey on their hands,they had a dead Huey and a live cop . Black people all overAmerica and around the world, and some white people in Ameri-ca and around the world, are glad for once to have a dead copand a live Huey . But we go further and say that we want Hueyto stay alive -- we go even further and say that we want Hueyset free .

BLACK NEWS RELEASESOANLpND, CAllf.

B.P.P.S .D.TO CHARLES GAIN AND WHOMEVER ELSE IT MAY CONCERN :

PAGE 4

The brutal savagery of the Oakland police during thedemonstrations at the Oakland Induction Center and thevicious attack upon Huey P . Newton, Minister of Defenseof the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, make itcrystal clear that Oakland cops constitute a politicalforce with purposes and tactics similar to those of theGerman gestapo . The widespread and unprovoked clubbingand gassing of women, children, and other citizens --most notably on October 17th, leave little doubt that theOakland police are not the servants and protectors of thepeople, but their bitter oppressors . These acts -- whichwere well-documented by many members of the press whowere not only witnesses but often innocent victims aswell -- are consistent with the common police practicesof harassing, brutalizing and terrorizing black people inthe ghettoes of Oakland . ~In fact, the Oakland police re-present nothing more than an army of occupation in theblack communities .

In cases where participants in the demonstration ag-ainst the Induction Center were arrested by Oakland policeand charged with assaulting "peace"officers, an examination of the facts reveals that it was in fact the Oaklandpolice aho, without provocation, attacked the demonstra-tors and viciously beat them . Then, after the victimsof these police attacks attempted to defend themselves,they were charged with assaulting policemen : This isalso totally consistent with the Oakland police practiceof attacking black people, without provocation, in theirhomes, on the streets, and in police stations . Here ag-ain, when the victims of these attacks attempt to defendthemselves, they are charged with assaulting police of-ficers .

For this reason, we fully support Huey P . Newton,Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party for SelfDefense, in his leadership of the resistance againstthese brutally oppressive tactics . We know Huey P. Newtonto be a courageous leader in the struggle against oppres-sion and we further know that, despite the long-standingand undeniable grievances that all black people haveagainst occupying forces like the Oakland police, FIueyP . Newton would not have confronted cops in the mannerdescribed by the Oakland police . Our own experienceswith the same Oakland police strengthens our convictionthat Huey P . Newton is a victim of police assault and isnow being held as a political prisoner . We thereforepledge our continuing support for him in his struggleagainst the oppressive and discriminatory "legal" system,of which the police and the courts are both parts .

In light of the above incontrovertible facts con-cerning the conduct of the Oakland police and the con-sequences resulting from it, we demand that the followingsteps bP taken immediately :

1) Chief Gain must publically confess that his police-men provoked and assaulted Huey P . Newton and leaders ofStop the Draft Week ; and he must insist that all chargesagainst them be dropped and charges initiated insteadagainst the policemen involved and those who were respon-sible for issuing their orders, including Chief Gain him-self .

2) If Chief Gain is unwilling to perform his duty tothe people in this manner, he is clearly not qualifiedto hold his position and should resign .

3) We remind the Oakland police that they are paid bythe

ep ople and they must serve and protect the

eo le .Instead they have allowed themselves to become mercenariesof the Power Structure, to be used as an occupying armyin the black communities and as storm troopers in societyat large . Oakland police must rebel against their supe-rior officers and all others who order them to commitcrimes against the people ; otherwise, they will-face thesame fate as the German soldiers and secret policemen whowere judged guilty of war crimes, despite their pleasthat they were only obeying orders .

If these demands are not met, the future can onlyhold further confrontation, further bloodshed, and thecontin;ring state of war between the people and the police .

Socrates was a political prisoner ; so wereJesus, Galileo, Sir Thomas Moore, Sacco and Venzetti .Contemporary political prisoners include Mohandas Ghandi,Jawaharlal Nehru, Kwame Nkrumah, Sukarno, Fidel Castro,and Adam Clayton Powell . What is the common thread in-exorably binding these men together? It is the fact thattheir imprisonment stemmed not from acts committed thatare universally held to be outside the pale o~f acceptedhuman behavior such as murder, arson, theft, or mayhem .It is rather that their acts were deemed criminal in thecontext of the political experience of the day .

The Black Man in America ~.s, too, a political priso-ner . He too has committed an act deemed criminal in lightof current political expediency . His act? His birth :It has been the political expedient for 400 years to cas-tigate, emasculate, and finally to eliminate the BlackMan from American society .

The late and sainted E1 Hadji Malik El Shabazz alsoknown as Brother Malcolm clearly saw this fact and toldhis Black Bretheren that America to them is just anotherprison ; that the only difference between themselves andtheir brothers in penal institutions is the fact thatthe imprisonment of the latter is to a degree more confi-ning .

If this historical context is not fully understood,the plight of Dred Scott, the Scottsboro boys, the Har-lem Six, LeRoi Jones, Barry Wynn, and Charles McCrae, HueyNewton, and Asante Kimani has no significance .

In light of the foregoing, Floyd B. McKissick, Na-tional Director of the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE),today announced that CORE has honored the request ofLeRoi Jones and his co-defendants, Barry Wynn and CtrarlesMcCrae,their counsel and families, to assist in theirdefense . The three defendants were convicted of the il-legal possession of firearms on Noygt~~g~ ~,

ThC dgf¬R=dants pleaded not guilty and were convicted of the charge .The case is now on appeal . The defendants are presentlyrepresented by Irving Booker, Esq . Sentence is to bepassed on the 28th day of November at the Morris CountyCourthouse, Morris County, New Jersey .

CORE maintains that the case of LeRoi Jones, thenoted Black Playright, and his two co-defendants, raiseserious constitutional questions .

1 . Whether Black People have the right to own andpossess firearms .

2 . Whether,in light of the ancient right of a trialof a jury of one's peers, twelve white men canbe peers of three Black Men.

3 . Whether constitutional rights were denied byillegal search and seizure .

4 . Whether at the time the trial was conducted, inlight of the national feeling, the feeling ofthe .local community and statements wade by theGovernor of the state as well as the Mayor ofthe city in which the incident took place, do notin themselves, amount to a judgment prior totrial .

These serious questions are germaine to the Bill ofRights of the Constitution of the United States, underthe Fourth Amendment (The Right to Bear Arms) and underthree sections of the Fourtheenth Amendment :

a . Due Process of the Lawb . The Privileges and Immunities clause ; and,c . Equal Protection under the Law .

CORE as- a Black organization representing BlackPeople has responded to the call of Black Brothers in atime of crisis . We call upon all Black People, whateverour minor differences be, to rally around these brothers .Their plight is our plight, their fight our fight .

genocidal war in Vietnam . Since oppression in this countryhas always been most direct and most brutal against blackpeople, this intensified repression has taken the form ofovert violence against leaders of the black liberationstruggle . Rap Brown, National Chairman of SNCC, currentlyfaces the possibility of 20 years in jail for "inciting"a "riot" which actually began when policemen opened fireon Brown and the crowd of black people he was addressingin Cambridge, Maryland . Right here in the Bay Area, HueyNewton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party forSelf Defense, has been charged with murder and assaultwith intent to commit murder, as a result of an afllegedgun battle betcaeen Newton and tcao Oakland cops, in whichNewton was slightly injured, one policeman seriouslywounded, . and the ether policeman kill -~ .

' The Huey P . Newton DefenseFund Committee

P . O . Box 8641 Emeryville Branch' Oakland, California 94608

We have called this pressconference to publically an-,pounce the establishment of aCommittee and Defense Fund toinsure that Huey P. Newton hascompetent legal assistancewhen he stands trial on the-charges lodged against him bythe Oakland Police Departmentthrough the Grand Jury .

S.S ; ;C~ � :.1 ;~ :4t:Q~it : . ; .c~hG tr:c cFpre~sarra.r.P:3 :~ from ~ treeby uis ruother f-_rii :,rrcY,~~

This Committee and DefenseFund has been organized by across-section of the communityand has received contributionsand support from people of allwalks of life,black and white .

We feel that Huey P. Newtonis the victim of a frameup bythe Oakland Police Department .We know that he is hated bythe Oakland-Police Departmentand that on several occass.ionsmembers of that Departmenthave threatened to ki-11 him.They hate Huey because of theuncompromising stand he tookagainst the abuse of power bythe police in the Black Ghettosof America . The Oakland Po-lice Department has a well-deserved reputation for bru-tality and excessive nse offorce, particularly when, itcomes to B1ac1~; .Petlple .

Huey Newtrsn has long -beenat the top of the Oakland Po-lice Department's WANTED LIST .He has been constantly draggedoff to jail by them on phony,made-up charges . This moveagainst Huey fits neatly intothe general pattern of harass-ment, frameup, and intimida-tion which forces within thePower Structure have unleashedagatnst~militatit y~ourig-$] :a~ck, 4men and women rah® stand. upwardsay N0: loud and clear, to thecondition of Black People inAmerica .

Malcolm X was murdered incold blood to silence him ;Stokely Carmichael, Rap Brown,and LeRoi Jones are being con-stantly persecuted by law en-forcement agencies that seekto silence them . As the out-spoken leader of .the Black, -Panther Party foi Self Defense,Huey has effectively focusedthe attention of the people .onthe way that the Police func-tion in Black Communities . Be-cause of this, the Police wanthim out of the way . The Chair-man of the Black Panther Party,Bobby Seale, is already in jail,placed there by Oakland Police-men on spurious charges .

In the first place, Huey hasnot yet stood trial, his storyis yet to be Cold_-=-yet themass media have already placedhim in the Gas Chamber on thebasis of wild,speculative char-ges fed to it by the OaklandPolice Department .

In the. second place, weknow Huey to be a brilliantleader of men and that he wasincapable of acting in the ab-surd manner described by theOakland Police Department . Be-yond that, we feel that thiscase, involving the abuse ofpower by the police and a re-spected black political lea-der, lays open the burning is-sue now facing Black Peoplethroughout this land . For thisreason we want a full airingof all the issues and towardsthis end we are mobilizing anational and internationalcampaign to expose the insidi-ous frameup against Huey F .Ne~.aton and to insure that.fustice is done .~-

BEAUTIFUL NEWS FROM HUNTERS POINT

The BLACK PANTHER salutes the unknown Freedom Fight-

ers of Hunters Point who recently took the heroic action

of picking up the gun, to gme,the Gestapo of the occu-

These pigs,

.e~s"peEdal ly~ _the "pne ;,y>#p _receive$ the aa)~t lib¬FHA dosage

of lead, were hated by all the residents of the area who

have a long-standing grievance against them for the savage

treatment they were known to dish out to people who came

into conflict with them . The fact that there are BLACK

MEN in Afro-America who are willing to take such clear and

direct action against stooges of the Power Structure lets

the world know that, at last, Black People in America have

had enough of the tyranny under which they've existed for

400 years .

This goes to prove once again that Stalin was

absolutely correct when he said : THE WEAPON OF CRITICISM

WILL ~IEVER .EQUAL THE CRITICISM OF WEAPONS .$lack People have been complaining for years about the

way that the Gestapo in. Hunters Point have been running

over the people, but nobody listened, everybody thought

that Black People were jiving . But now they may be having

second thoughts . At any rate, we can rest assured that

either Black People are going to enjoy a taste of Freedom,

Justice, and Security or there is going to be a whole lot

of barbecued pig in Babylon .Keep on pushing, Soul Brothers : : : '

TRAITORS

In the fight to reach thetop the oppressed have alwaysbeen encumbered by the traitorsof their own race, made up ofthose of little faith and thosewho are generally susceptibleto bribery for the selling-outof the rights of their ownpeople .

The traitor of other racesis generally confined to themediocre or irresponsible in-dividuals, but, unfortunately,the traitors among the Negrorace are generally to be foundamong the men highest placedin education and society, thefellows who call themselvesleaders .

For us to examine ourselvesthoroughly as a people we willfind that we have more traitorsthan leaders, because nearlyeveryone who essays to lead therace at this time does so byfirst establishing himself asthe pet of some philanthropistof another race, to whom hewill go and debase his race inthe worst form, humiliate hisown manhood, and thereby winthe sympathy of the "greatbenefactor", who will dictateto him what he should do in theleadership of the Negro race .It is generally, "You must goout and teach your people tobe meek and humble ; tell themto be good servants, loyal andobedient to their masters . Ifyou will teach them such a doc-trine you can always depend onme to give you $1,000 a yearor $5,000 a year for the sup-port of yourself, the newspaperor institution you represent .I will always recommend you tomy friends as a good fellowwho is all right ." With thisadvice and prospect of patro-nage the average Negro leadergoes out to lead the unfortu-nate mass . These leaders tellus how good Mr . So and So is,how many good friends we havein the opposite race, and thatif we leave everything to themall will work out well .

This is the kind of leader-ship we have been having forthe last fifty years . It isnothing else but treachery andtreason of the worst kind . Theman who will compromise theattitude of his country is atraitor, and even so the manwho will compromise the rightsof his race can be classifiedin no other way than a traitoralso .

Not until we settle down asfour hundred million people andlet the men who have placedthemselves in the lead of usrealize that we are disgustedand dissatisfied, and that weshall have a leadership of ourown and stick by it when we getit, we will be able to lift our-selves from this mire of degre-dation to the heights of pro-perity, human liberty, and hu-man appreciation .

BUSIAE~S ~In harmony with the new

spirit amongst Black People,of putting theory into prac-tice, several Brothers atSan Francisco State College,alleged by the racist admin-istration of that institutionto be members of the BlackStudents Union, got fed upwith the biased manner inwhich the white-controlledcampus newspaper,THE GATER,treated news relating toPeople . So they paid a Busi-ness Call to the EditorialOffices of THE CATER and gavethe simpleminded editor agood country asskicking . TheBrothers and Sisters at Statehad held back their resent-ment for years, but, as couldhays been predicted, .thingsfinally reached the breakingpoint and the Brothers soughtdirect relief .

An indication of where thepresent staff of THE CATER isat is the fact that they havean agreement with the warmon-gering,racist,corrupt,depra-ved -- and anything else youcan think of -- San FranciscoExaminer . Through this agree-ment, news items from THECATER are printed in the Ex-aminer and vice versa . To topit off, the honkies who writefor the Cater have the sameoatmeal and malted milk men-tality as the geeks who writefor the Examiner .

It is not clear at thiswriting whether or not TH EGATFT2 staff has learned its1g55an : It m~~ h¬ n~c~`3~~ry

STEcharges filed against them,charges for which, if theyare convicted, they will besent to prison . We feel thatit is about time for Blackmen and women to stop allowingthemselves to be dragged off tojail when they are not guiltyof anything other than seekinga legitimate redress of grie-vances . The fact that the ap-paratus of the state -- thecops, the courts, the jails,prisons,CIA,etc .,---are allin the hands of the racistsleads to a situation where,"vhen Black People move tomake the world a better placefor them to live in, the ap-paratus of the State is cal-led in to protect the honkieswho are directly involved indepriving Black People oftheir rights .

Leaders of the black libera-tion struggle--like StokelyCarmichael,Rap Brown,and HueyP . Newton--have provided acontinual challenge to whiteradicals . By their acts theyhave shown that a revolutionaryexample is possible even herein America,in the very bellyof the imperialist beast .If welook at the white radical de-monstration at the OaklandInduction Center tW0 W~¬k§ 3g0,the influence of the blackliberation struggle is unmis-

When thesavage Oakland police moved inon the crowd of middle classradicals,assaulting them withchemical gasses and merciless-iy clubbing them,numbers ofthe demonstrators were heardto say,"For once I know whatit feels like to be black ."
