Huey Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, lies in the hospital at San Quentin State Prison, with a gunshot wound in his stomach, inflicted by an Oakland cop . An Oakland cop is dead and buried and a second cop lies somewhere in some hospital with three bullet wounds in his body .

Huey has been charged with the murder of the first cop and the shooting of the second .

The shooting occured in the heart of Oakland's black ghetto .

Huey is a black man, a resident of Oakland's black ghetto, and_the two cops were white and lived in the white On the night that the shooting occurred, there were suburbs .

400 years of oppression of black people by white people focused and manifested in the incident . We are at that crossroads in history where black people are determined to bring down the final curtain on the drama of their struggle to free themselves from the boot of the white man that is on their collective neck . Huey Newton knew that the chief instrument of oppression of black people in America is the police departments of the cities .

Through murder, brutality, and the terror of their image, 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 to be broken if we are to be liberated from our bondage . These gestapo dogs are not holy, they are not angels, and there is no more mystery surrounding them . They are brutal beasts who have They been gunning down black people and getting away with it . call this "justifiable homicide" carried out by an officer of the`'law iit-,~,~e line of duty . Black people understand that this is very true'°"- but not in the way that the lying mass media would have people believe .

The "duty"_that these wretched jackels are carrying out is to keep the niggers in .check ; the peace that they are charged with keeping is the peace of the power structure, the To perform peace of the Bank of America and General Motors . their duty, they must necessari ly disturb the peace of black people .

In fact, black people have had no peace since the first day they sat foot on this bloody Babylonian soil called America .

Peace is what black people seek, what they are determined to have .

Peace is what is being witheld from black people .

Huey Newton is a child of Malcolm X . Malcolm said that we will get our freedom by any means r.~cessary, and 20,000,000 black people heard his voice and concur in his message . Huey

Some white people understand this, know it to be true and just, and they back black people up in their just demands for liberation and an end to the terror .

It marks the Huey Newton's case is the showdown case . end of history . We cannot go a step beyond this point . Here we must draw the line . We say that we have had enough of black men and women being shot down like dogs in the street .

We say that we have had enough of cops being set free with a verdict of justifiable homicide . We say that black people in Huey Newton has laid America have the right to self defense . his life on the line so that 20,000,000 black people can find out just where they are at and so that we can find out just where white America is at .

We have reached the point in history where we must claim that a black man, confronted by a bloodthirsty cop who is out to take his life out of hatred for the black race, has a right to defend himself -- even if this means picking up a gun and blowing that cop away . Make no mistake about it : that is where we are at today . A cop is nothing but a man in a uniform .

Through their propaganda and brainwashing of the people they have us believing that there is something supernatural or A cop is a human being just like anybody special about a cop . else, he came into the world just like anybody else, and he can leave this world just like anybody else .

Every week, from every corner of America, we hear the reports of how some cop has shot and killed some black man, woman or child . We are sick and tired of hearing such news and we don't want to hear any more . The only way that is can be from now on is that there will be no more reports of black people being massacred or we want to hear more reports about more dead cops shot down by black men . There can be no two ways about it, there can no longer be a double standard, one for black people and one for white peoples one for cops with

Armcd Ncroli TACTIC OF In s. Africa PERSUASIO The following letter was sentAug , 27to Oliver Tambo, President of the African Nat ional Congress by H . Rapp Brown, Chairman and James Forman, International Affairs Director of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee,

Oliver Tambo President African National Congress P . 0 . Box 2239 Dar es Salaam, Tanzania Dear Brother Tambo : Following the death of Chief Albert Lithuli the African National Congress stated to the International Seminar on Apartheid, Racism and Colonialism in Southern Africa held in Kitwe, Zambia that it had decided to wage a revolutionary armed struggle against the illegal white South African government, Since the seminar you have formed a military alliance with the Zimbawe African Peoples Urion, We have also been informed that you have sent armed guerillas into South Africa to commit selective sabotage and to wage an intense liberation struggle, We know that this decision was not made lightly or without adequate training and preparation to sustain the initial efforts .

Therefore we are not surprised that the South African authorities are carrying on a three nation search for your guerillas .

We send to you our moral support and we pledge to help in other ways as you request it .

Moreover, in the United States, we ,are this day, Sunday, the 27th of August, 1967, calling on black people not to buy new General Motors cars for the year 1968, We are fully aware that General Motors is a heavy investor in South Africa and the profits from exploited labor of our brothers in South Africa makes this company even richer .

We are making this appeal in the city of Detroit, the state of Michigan, where General Motors has its main 'plants . While we are aware there are other United States companies operating in South Africa, we believe by calling for a selective boycott of 1968 General Motors cars we may in some small manner assist the struggle for the armed liberation of South Africa . We hope by this action to pressure the United States capitalists to o~ithdraw their investments before we see the sorry sight of the United States government sending troops, some of whom will be Negroes, to support the ?obits racist regime in South Africa and to protect the white American citizens and their dollars .

A MESSAGE FROM CHAIRMAN H .RAP BROWN

Dear Brothers and Sisters in B1ack,Communities throughout the United States :

Our brothers and sisters in South Africa have launchan armed revolutionary struggle against the fascists, illegal white governments of Rhodesia and South Africa .

In Rhodesia some 250,000 whites are suppressing the rights of 4 million blacks : 1n South Africa for,over fifty years some 2 million whites have brutally suppressed the right of self-determination of ' the African majority . But the revolutionary armed struggle has begun and we shall win . _ The hour has come when we must support our blood brothers . We cannot sit back and wait until the United States has sent troops to Rhodesia and South Africa . Already in South Africa it is the heavy investment of United States capital that make ; this regime stay in power .

You must help : You must help now : We cannot wait : What you must_do : 1 . Educate yourself about the nature of the involvewent of the United States and other Western powers in helping to maintain racism, colonialism and apartheid in South Africa . Organize yourselves as a Committee of One to educate your neighbors about the ; nature of the struggle and- .what they must do'now to ^, help the armed struggle in South Africa . Brothers, - . we cannot wait, for the struggle will be long_, and bitter and we must begin to help now .

2.

Collect and send money immediately to Oliver Tambo, President, African National Congress, P .O . Box 2239, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania . You must send money quickly .

3.

Collect and send medical supplies to President Tambo at the same address . Do it now : 4.

Remember that the struggle against racism, coloni

alism, and apartheid is an indivisible struggle .

Armed revolutionary action is occurring throughout Africa -- Mozambique, Angola, South Africa and South West Africa .

This issue will soon be brought before the Security Council of the United Nations and even the General Assembly . Do not stand aloof from the debates . Dress in your national African dress, go to the United Nations, hear and participate in the discussions . Too long we . a s Africans in the United States!have failed to show solidarity with our African brothers on the continent . We the Overseas Africans must realize that-we can do'something and our presence at the United Nations is an expression of solidarity which is important for the morale of the brothers fighting the guerrilla ssa~ .,; in Southern Africa .

5.

If you are in school, stay there and learn industrial skills that are needed in African countries and will be needed once the liberation of Southern Africa has been accomplished .

If you are out of school, get back in and learn the sciences, learn engineering, learn medicine . Africa needs technical help and we must use this white man's schools to help our brothers in Africa when they ask for-:us, We must be prepared . There is some meaning to ._our w lives when we realize that we can today go back to Africa .

6.

Support SNCC Send contributions to 100 Fifth Avenue, New York, N .Y ., Rm . 803 . SNCC has voted to help the liberation struggle and it is going to help directly the liberation struggles occuring in all parts of Southern Africa . But SNCC has been under intense pressure and the whites in this country are trying to destroy it .

They are going to even try harder now that we are actively supporting the liberation-movements in Southern Africa .

SNCC MUST NOT FALL .

guns and one for black men with guns . Either human life is sacred or it is not .

If human life is sacred then we must demand that black life also be considered sacred .

On the very same day that the shooting incident involving Huey occurred, a 70 year old black man in Palo Alto hadhis head blown off by a cop, from behind, and he was unarmed .

Yet there has been no outcry about that .

There has har3ly been a peep about it . Was this 70 year old black man's life sacred?

The racist dog Oakland cops say that this dead cop is the first one who has been killed "in the line of duty" in twenty years . Yet that same Oakland police force has shot and killed scores of black men and women in that same period .

What about them? Don't trey count? Who is keeping the statistics about them?

And what are we supposed to do about that? Are we supposed to just sit back calmly and add another digit to the statistics everytime another black person is killed by an Oakland cop? We know - that that_is what they want us to do -- but we are here to say that those days are gone : Does everybody understand that? THOSE DAY ARE GONE : THE DAY WHEN A COP CAN SHOOT A BLACK MAN, WOMAN, OR CHILD DOWN IN COLD BLOOD AND HAVE IT RULED JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE IS GONE FOREVER .

FROM NOW ON WE SAY : ONE MAN, ONE LIFE : Undoubtedly, the Oakland cops would be tickled pink if instead of having a dead cop and a live Huey on their hands, they had a dead Huey and a live cop . Black people all over America and around the world, and some white people in America and around the world, are glad for once to have a dead cop and a live Huey . But we go further and say that we want Huey to stay alive -- we go even further and say that we want Huey set free .

WHITE `MOTHER COUNTRY' RADICAL SUPPOfl13

Brute military power is the Last repressive resort of an oppressor whose totalitarian apparatus is threatened or ceases to function smoothly . First he will use all manner of tricks and bribes to distort the nature of his power or to buy off potential opponents of his oppression . We can see this clearly if we examine American foreign policy .

The imperialists do not immediately send the armed forces into a country they seek to dominate .First they send the Peace Corps, the prostitued professors,the phony pro grams and the CIA . If these more subtle agencies of control fail to fool the people,

TO CHARLES GAIN AND WHOMEVER ELSE IT MAY CONCERN : The brutal savagery of the Oakland police during the demonstrations at the Oakland Induction Center and the vicious attack upon Huey P . Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, make it crystal clear that Oakland cops constitute a political force with purposes and tactics similar to those of the German gestapo .

The widespread and unprovoked clubbing and gassing of women, children, and other citizens -most notably on October 17th, leave little doubt that the Oakland police are not the servants and protectors of the people, but their bitter oppressors .

These acts -- which were well-documented by many members of the press who were not only witnesses but often innocent victims as well -- are consistent with the common police practices of harassing, brutalizing and terrorizing black people in the ghettoes of Oakland . ~In fact, the Oakland police represent nothing more than an army of occupation in the black communities .

The question of political prisoners has, from time . immemorial, been a dilemma in the field of legal jurisprudence . Socrates was a political prisoner ; so were Jesus, 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 inexorably binding these men together? It is the fact that their imprisonment stemmed not from acts committed that are universally held to be outside the pale o~f accepted human behavior such as murder, arson, theft, or mayhem .

It is rather that their acts were deemed criminal in the context of the political experience of the day .

xex~ o~ xGte pnee~ ean~enenee .tn the bo .PX.aw~.ng .id3ue . ' The Huey P . Newton Defense Fund Committee P . O . Box 8641 Emeryville Branch ' Oakland, California 94608 We have called this press conference to publically an,pounce the establishment of a Committee and Defense Fund to insure that Huey P . Newton has competent legal assistance when he stands trial on thecharges lodged against him by the Oakland Police Department through the Grand Jury .

This Committee and Defense Fund has been organized by a cross-section of the community and has received contributions and support from people of all walks of life,black and white .

1) Chief Gain must publically confess that his policemen provoked and assaulted Huey P . Newton and leaders of Stop the Draft Week ; and he must insist that all charges against them be dropped and charges initiated instead against the policemen involved and those who were responsible for issuing their orders, including Chief Gain himself .

We feel that Huey P . Newton is the victim of a frameup by the Oakland Police Department .

The Black Man in America ~.s, too, a political priso- We know that he is hated by ner . He too has committed an act deemed criminal in light the Oakland-Police Department and that on several occass.ions of current political expediency . His act? His birth : members of that Department It has been the political expedient for 400 years to cas- have threatened to ki-11 him . tigate, emasculate, and finally to eliminate the Black They hate Huey because of the Man from American society . uncompromising stand he took against the abuse of power by The late and sainted E1 Hadji Malik El Shabazz also the police in the Black Ghettos known as Brother Malcolm clearly saw this fact and told of America .

The Oakland Pohis Black Bretheren that America to them is just another lice Department has a wellprison ; that the only difference between themselves and deserved reputation for brutheir brothers in penal institutions is the fact that tality and excessive nse of the imprisonment of the latter is to a degree more confiforce, particularly when, it ning . comes to B1ac1~; .Petlple .

If this historical context is not fully understood, Huey Newtrsn has long -been the plight of Dred Scott, the Scottsboro boys, the Harlem Six, LeRoi Jones, Barry Wynn, and Charles McCrae, Huey at the top of the Oakland Police Department's WANTED LIST .

Newton, and Asante Kimani has no significance .

Malcolm X was murdered in cold blood to silence him ; CORE maintains that the case of LeRoi Jones, the Stokely Carmichael, Rap Brown, noted Black Playright, and his two co-defendants, raise serious constitutional questions . and LeRoi Jones are being con1. stantly persecuted by law enWhether Black People have the right to own and forcement agencies that seek possess firearms .

2 . Whether,in light of the ancient right of a trial to silence them . As the outspoken leader of .the Black, of a jury of one's peers, twelve white men can be peers of three Black Men .

Panther Party foi Self Defense, 3 . Whether constitutional rights were denied by Huey has effectively focused the attention of the people .on illegal search and seizure . the way that the Police func4 . Whether at the time the trial was conducted, in tion in Black Communities . Belight of the national feeling, the feeling of cause of this, the Police want the .local community and statements wade by the him out of the way . The ChairGovernor of the state as well as the Mayor of the city in which the incident took place, do not man of the Black Panther Party, Bobby Seale, is already in jail, in themselves, amount to a judgment prior to placed there by Oakland Policetrial . men on spurious charges .

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

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

In cases where participants in the demonstration against the Induction Center were arrested by Oakland police and charged with assaulting "peace"officers, an examina tion of the facts reveals that it was in fact the Oakland police aho, without provocation, attacked the demonstrators and viciously beat them . Then, after the victims of these police attacks attempted to defend themselves, they were charged with assaulting policemen : This is also totally consistent with the Oakland police practice of attacking black people, without provocation, in their homes, on the streets, and in police stations .

Here again, when the victims of these attacks attempt to defend themselves, they are charged with assaulting police officers .

For this reason, we fully support Huey P . Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, in his leadership of the resistance against these brutally oppressive tactics . We know Huey P . Newton to be a courageous leader in the struggle against oppression and we further know that, despite the long-standing and undeniable grievances that all black people have against occupying forces like the Oakland police, FIuey P . Newton would not have confronted cops in the manner described by the Oakland police .

Our own experiences with the same Oakland police strengthens our conviction that Huey P . Newton is a victim of police assault and is now being held as a political prisoner . We therefore pledge our continuing support for him in his struggle against the oppressive and discriminatory "legal" system, of which the police and the courts are both parts .

In light of the above incontrovertible facts concerning the conduct of the Oakland police and the consequences resulting from it, we demand that the following steps bP taken immediately :

3) We remind the Oakland police that they are paid by the ep ople and they must serve and protect the eo le .

Instead they have allowed themselves to become mercenaries of the Power Structure, to be used as an occupying army in the black communities and as storm troopers in society at large .

Oakland police must rebel against their superior officers and all others who order them to commit crimes against the people ; otherwise, they will-face the same fate as the German soldiers and secret policemen who were judged guilty of war crimes, despite their pleas that they were only obeying orders .

a. b. c.

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

CORE as- a Black organization representing Black People has responded to the call of Black Brothers in a time of crisis .

We call upon all Black People, whatever our minor differences be, to rally around these brothers .

Their plight is our plight, their fight our fight . ,,

In the first place, Huey has not yet stood trial, his story is yet to be Cold_-=-yet the mass media have already placed him in the Gas Chamber on the basis of wild,speculative charges fed to it by the Oakland Police Department .

In the. second place, we know Huey to be a brilliant leader of men and that he was incapable of acting in the absurd manner described by the Oakland Police Department . Begenocidal war in Vietnam . Since oppression in this country yond that, we feel that this has always been most direct and most brutal against black If these demands are not met, the future can only case, involving the abuse of people, this intensified repression has taken the form of hold further confrontation, further bloodshed, and the power by the police and a reovert violence against leaders of the black liberation contin ;ring state of war between the people and the police . spected black political leastruggle .

TRAITORS

In the fight to reach the top the oppressed have always been encumbered by the traitors of their own race, made up of those of little faith and those who are generally susceptible to bribery for the selling-out of the rights of their own people .

The traitor of other races is generally confined to the mediocre or irresponsible individuals, but, unfortunately, the traitors among the Negro race are generally to be found among the men highest placed in education and society, the fellows who call themselves leaders .

For us to examine ourselves thoroughly as a people we will find that we have more traitors than leaders, because nearly everyone who essays to lead the race at this time does so by first establishing himself as the pet of some philanthropist of another race, to whom he will go and debase his race in the worst form, humiliate his own manhood, and thereby win the sympathy of the "great benefactor", who will dictate to him what he should do in the leadership of the Negro race .

It is generally, "You must go out and teach your people to be meek and humble ; tell them to be good servants, loyal and obedient to their masters . If you will teach them such a doctrine you can always depend on me to give you $1,000 a year or $5,000 a year for the support of yourself, the newspaper or institution you represent .

I will always recommend you to my friends as a good fellow who is all right ." With this advice and prospect of patronage the average Negro leader goes out to lead the unfortunate mass . These leaders tell us how good Mr . So and So is, how many good friends we have in the opposite race, and that if we leave everything to them all will work out well .

This is the kind of leadership we have been having for It is the last fifty years . nothing else but treachery and treason of the worst kind . The man who will compromise the attitude of his country is a traitor, and even so the man who will compromise the rights of his race can be classified in no other way than a traitor also .

Not until we settle down as four hundred million people and let the men who have placed themselves in the lead of us realize that we are disgusted and dissatisfied, and that we shall have a leadership of our own and stick by it when we get it, we will be able to lift ourselves from this mire of degredation to the heights of properity, human liberty, and human appreciation .
