STATEMENT BY HUEY P. NEWTON, MINISTE
OF DEFENSE OF THE BLACK PANTHER PART.
AND SUPREME SEKVANT. OF THE PEOPIES % i
THE OCCASION
INTERCOMMUNAL DAY OF SOLIDARITY-
Power to the People, Brothers and
Sisters,
First of all I would like to thank all
of you for my very presence here, be-
cause if it weren’! for the Power of
the People, I wouldn't be here tonighi,
I’m not here because of the Black
Panther Party; I'm not here because of
any grou, i'm not here because of a
group of hamakazis, I’m here because
of the Power of the People,
We must remember that Revolution
is a process, It's not a conclusion;
because once we conclude, then we be-
come counter-revolutionary. And that
means even with the gun in our hands,
because fascism also has a gun, And
J would like to say tonight that the Black
Panther Party stands against all forms
of fascism, ecketing Sexual fascism,
1 chauvinism;
A against sexual chauvinism,
national chauvinism, We're intercom-
munalists, Before I went to prison,
most of you know, you are aware, that
I never made any speeches, you see, be-
cause I’m not a very eloquent man,
I'm better known by the actions. And
the Party was built upon the actions,
And the action itself is a process.
And we're not ever fixated, We haven't
accepted any dogma, And we will not,
And I would itke to say this, that
from now on the Party itself will be
better known by its contributions to the
People, for the simple reason that some
people around us seemto want to be
knoun through the Media, But the Party
can only judge itself through establish-
ing certain survival programs, pending
Revolution, Because remember, you
make the Revolution, We can't free
political prisoners, only the people can
free political prisoners, And a people
who are not free cannot free their pri-
Soners, cannot free the prisoners that
fascism makes, So I would like to say
that we must work very hard in order
to lift the consciousness of the people,
We must free our Chairman Bobby
Seale, Angela Davis, Ruchell Magee,
the Soledad Brothers, the seven and
the three, and all other political pri-
soners, Randy. We have to free all of
them,
But we must remember that we must
exhaust every possible tactic, And we
must let it be known that never broad-

cast military tactics for military rea-
sons, it’s perfectly correct to broad-
cast military tactics for political rea-
sons, That's what Uncle Ho said, and
I agree with kim, So we would like for
the people to know that there are many
things that we will not discuss in public,
But what you can do is watch the fruits
of our work, And we would like to say
that our Party became an intercommunal
Party upon its actions, And I think that’s

which is a system of thinking, And

to free all political prisoners, free the must pay more attention to what
people, free the woman and also the happening. Ihe news media has
man, that we have to get together in
unity by substituting verbal expressions
for action, The final test of the pie is
the action, We’ll stand on the Black
Panther Party, The Black Panther Party
from 1966 when it was formed will
stand on its record, will ‘oar on ne
action, We
leftists; we mt claim to be |
tile leftists, What we'll do is act in
accordance with the particular set of
conditions and the particulary problem
that we have at a time, So please judge
us upon our actions and we will develop
like that, We will not develop with lip
service coming from anyone, And some-
times I'm very thankful thet I don't
talk too well, because that’s only one
way of communication. We say that a
picture is worth a thousand words, but
action is supreme.
But what kind of action you take will
depend upon the particular set of con-
ditions, And I say all of this, because
you know the Party and the world to-
day is under turmoil, And this is very
good, We always have welcomed all
forms of contradictions, Because with-
out the contradiction there is no trans-
formation, So from the contradiction that
has developed now in the world and in
the Party, we hope to have a qualita-
tive leap, Lf tris leap eliminates some
of us, then, of course, we'll weep for
that, But we must not stop the Revo-
lution, I will not stop the Revolution,
You should not stop it. And, for all
that it's worth, we know that words
will never stop it, Words will not start
the Revolution either, Only action,
‘Sixty-six kicked off the armed mani-
festation of Revolution in this country,
because it focused upon the need for
the People not only to gefend them-
selves, but also to develop a conscious-
ness necessary to perform and to act

When we speak of an Amerikan rul-
ing class and their substructural rul-
ing elit F ct from other forms
of the arrangement, we are
drawn lineally without important in-
terruption to the Robber Barons; and
if we trace their progress and violence,
and the American authoritarian histor=
ical process back to this very day, We
can easily arrive at just why the
fascism of Amerika is the episodical-
ly logical fruition of the movement.
Many of the national character traits
of the latter half of the 19th century
were later to be found in fascism,
| refer to both the psychological
traits evinced by the overt racism
that has always permeated Amorikal
ociety, its ultra-nationalism, and 1
historically violent drive always to¢%~
pand to the next frontier, Then there
ire the social institutions themselves,
reaching as far back, at least, to the
late 19th century, that support through
cooptative devices the private pre?

ties and clubs,
Though somewhat less conspicuous
today (for fear of raising or helping
to raise resentment) these same
psychological traits and the institu-
tions that support a closed ruling
class and their hired or co-opted rul-
ing elites are still very much part of
the capitalist scheme, All simply tends
to work more smoothly with the ‘‘new
deal.”
1 mentioned a closed ruling class
and their co-opted ruling elites, This
doesn't mean new people are not con-
stantly being assimilated into the rul-
ing class and others leaving, It simply
means that the process is regulated,
Co-optation does reach down to the
very lowest classes also: fascism in
its third and secure dimension allows
for some social mobility--cven for the

the last year or so of our exchange
of confidence, 1 am certain that Angela
Davis had the seeds of revolutionary
consciousness planted decply in her
character from early childhood, | see
this possibility reflected in every one
of her contributions to our struggle.

sion would have, when challenged by
the hated state, stood up, neck stiff
43 a stecl post, and denied not her-
self or us, but the life style and
system that vainly attempted to trap
her in its dying contradictions,
But the affair at U.C.L.A, was only
4 small event in the maturation of
this extraordinary, revolutionary
Black woman, that l hold in the great-
est of esteem, and whom | and we
are forced to love in a very, very
special way, My efforts to prove to
the fascist enemy that the concen-
tration camp technique will not work
on the Black man in America could
never have progressed as far as they
have without the combined efforts of
the Black Panther Party and the great
sacrifices this beautiful sister has had
to make in speaking for me. She spoke
for me, for all of us trapped in the
double-maximum security hell of
Amerika’s hidden repressive institu-
tions, She has carriedherself through-
out her political life above reproach,
For Bobby, for Ericka, for us in the
California death camps, her well-
worded message was the same--Free-
dom, Stop the quasi-legal lynching,
But it would do her an injustice w
mention these overt thrusts against
the enemy state as her only contri-
bution to revolutionary practice, She
has and continues (from a heavy max-
imum security situation of her own)
to deal with the many contradictions
that seem to hold our revolution in
the doldrums, Some time ago she took
on the additional responsibility of at-
tempting to inject new life into the
Amerikan Communist party with the
explosive doctrines of Black liberation,
She has never failed during her mem-
bership in the A,C.P, to oppose those
policies or the ideology that did not
reflect the realities of the class and
race antagonisms of present day U.S. A,
The sum of her political activiry,
throughout, has been non-sectarian and
conducive to what I feel we all should
be striving to achieve--a united left.
As Black people of two separate
political parties, she believes with me
that we should not accept ready-made
passed doun, older, and often not ap-
plicable internal, ideological battles,
As Black people of two separate polit-
ical parties, we both find it very easy
to agree that the Black segment of
the lower classes must make up the
vanguard of cny revolution that takes
place here in the center of world
capitalism, We have never foiled to
agree on any subject bearing on rev~
olutionary political ideals, When cer-
tain members of her party attacked
Comrade Joncthan Jackson of the
Black Panther Party for the “prac-
tice’ of his beliefs, Angela attacked
them, No reactionary A.C.P. policy
or ideology or the individual who re-
presents the policy or ideology is safe
from her censure, They have heaped
criticism back on her in turn, I do
not think it fair that she should re-
ceive criticism from her own party
and the new vanguard also, I don't
think any of us--as Black partisans-
of the socialist revolution can afford
the luxury of a protracted ideological
Battle of any sort, We all live in the
shadow of the gas chambers, or on
@ collision course with a pig bullet.
J am a convinced exponent of Huey
Newton's and the Black Panther Party's
stand on intercommunalism, Angela
assails me with questions honestly and
sincerely posed, | answer them, and
question her on the value of the Black
worker as a revolutionary agent, and ©
she presents solid evidence to the ef-
fect that he is disciplined, forms
nearly 30% of the entire industrial
work force, and we meet, without the
smallest hint of hostility, at the theor-
etical juncture that, hypothetically,
Huey'’s center city communes may be
the vehicle for revolutionizing this
all too conservative Black worker;
then he in tum radicalize and revo-
lutionize his White cowterpart, And
finaliy we both recognize that ony
contradictions in our beliefs are not
basic and can be worked out with as-
siduous revolutionary practice at the
production and street level, Such dia-
logue sincerely waged has to be the
basis of a new revolutionary syllogism-
exchange of ideals and practice minus
any defensive reaction,
The insecure and possibly counter-
revolutionary elements of the A.C.P,
represent Angela no more than do the
Tabor couple, and RD, (Richard
Dharuba) Moore, represent Huey P.
Newton, The un-grounded attacks made
on the Black Panther Party by these
individuals of the A,C.P, must be
viewed as they are--individualist and
probably of an ulterior motive, All of
the circular, cowiter-productive in-
ternal struggles must be resolved be-
fore we can move on our enemies;
the ego must be taken out of revo-
lution; the contradictions must stop at
all cost and “by any means necessary’’.
Angela Davis is no one's “‘darling
liberal’, Lf she were she would not be
sitting where she is now, And unlike
Comrade Cleaver suggested, Angela
has used her position as a noted poli-
tical prisoner to focus the attention
of all progressive forces on not only
Comrade Bobby Seale’s jeopardy but
Ericka’s also.
Finally I feel that the real problems
within Amerikan soctety, the grave
tangibles at issue with Blacks inside
this society, can only be resolved by
pursuance of inter-communal “‘soli-
darity’’, This is as important to our
strength as the shotgun, the MI-Al,
I call for an all out effort toward a
united, progressive left!

son population and all other people
(only immediate family and her at-
torney are allowed visits) at Niantic
™ State Prison Farm near New Haven.
For the past four months almost,
Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins have
sat in a small cramped New Haven
courtroom while the jury selection
process has taken place. A total of
more than 1450 prospective jurors
have been examined and excused be-
cause of either exposure to pre-trial
publicity, prejudices against the Black
Panther Party, Bobby and/or Ericka
or Black people, financial or medical
hardship, blind faith in the police de- 7
partment or any number of other rea-
sons, Twelve jurors have been seated,
The ‘voir dire’ (jury challenges) will
continue until 2 alternate jurors are
chosen. There are seven women jur-
ors, four of them are Black, There
are five men furors, one is Black.
All of the jurors are middle-aged to
old and none of them are revolution-
aries, The defense has exhausted all
of its 60 peremptory challenges while
the prosecution has more than 20

room, After a brief scuffle to free
himself, Bobby was forced back into
a seat, He protested to the presiding
pig, judge Mulvey, that the racist
District Attorney, Marckle, had or-
dered him into isolation 9 months
prior and he had remained there since
that time, Also, during the last 9
months, one particular pig whom he
pointed out in the courtroom has con-
tinuously harassed him, He told Mul-
vey that he was a racist for allowing
that woman to be picked as the 12th
juror. Mulvey ordered Bobby out of
the courtroom and the pigs removed
him, tt is obvious that the defense
has no control over what type of peo-
ple will be chosen for the remaining
jurors,
Bopby and Ericka are young, Black
revolutionaries, but lke every other
Black person ever tried within the
confines of the U.S. empire, they are
being subjected to a jury of their non
peers, The case of Bobby Seale and
Ericka Huggins is the key test of the
old pig method of attempting to define
the rights and destiny of our people.
It is the pig test to sce how far they
can go, how much we will take. The
pigs have always felt, since this case
was first created by them, that ff
they could successfully destroy the
Chairman of the Black Panther Party,
this example. would be so strong as to
ward off any or all other people, the
People, In other words, it would serve
as a notice of the consequences of op-
posing them, and thereby hopefully halt
our struggle, stop our efforts for free-
dom, in midstream. But when the people
made it clear that we recognize this
ploc from the beginning, they had to
devise other methods, and try todivert
our attention away from this case,
Knowing this, we, Black people and
all oppressed people, must maintain
a united front to free Bobby and Ericka,
We cannot allow any trick of the pigs
to divert our attention from those peo-
ple and issues that are important to
us, We cannot allow ourselves to be
confused by increased pig repression
and pre-planned, intentional divisive
actions by reactionary forces within
the community, working along with the
power structure, We must reaffirm
the strength of our unity to set Chair-
man Bobby Seale and Sister Ericka
Huggins free, For it is certain that
Free Bobby, Free Ericka means Free

THE BLACK PANTHER, SATUNIMY, MARCH 0, 97 PAGE
BITTER BATTLES TO COME
Twelve years ago, the peoples of
Africa and Asia met in the revolution-
ary capital of the U.A.R. to map out
@ strategy for the eviction of colon-
jalists from Africa and Asia, and for
the liquidation of world imperialism,
They formed the Afro-Asian People's
Organisation, which soon grew into a
great collective - a Movement of the
peoples, not only of Asia and Africa,
but of the whole of the progressive
world,
Today, the Afro-Asian People’s Or-
ganisation meeting in Council in the
new revolutionary capital of Libya,
can proudly cast its eyes to the East
of Tripoli, to the West, to the African
land mass in the South, and even to
the North across the waters of the
Mediterranean, and will there see
great young independent nations grow-
ing on the ruins of colonial domina-
tion - and all those who participated
in the historic meeting of 1958, share
the sense of achievement we all feel
today, as we enter the dynamic, and
highly explosive decade of the 70's,
But even as we survey the world
scene from this Northern City of
Africa, we not only see the new flags
of freedom flying where once Colonial-
ism ruled supreme, we also see the
banners of revolutionary amti-imper-
jalist detachments as they engage the
enemy in fierce and biter conflict
in different parts of the world, Indecd,
this Council meets at a time when,
as never before, the strongholds of
imperialism, colonialism, nco-colo-
nialism and racism are being chal-
lenged, harassed and attacked in a
global anti - imperialist offensive
which, even in the short space of time
since the last meeting of the Council,
has assumed a new intensity and a
new ferocity, precisely because of
the resolute determination of the
peace-loving peoples of the world to
seize, and retain, their dignity and
independence, - a determin ation whic
is matched by the equally resolute
determination of the imperialists not
only to retain what remains of thelr
empires, but also to re-
shrunken

conquer and nullify the hard-won gain
of the national Lit on movement,
the world Socialist System and the toil-
. workers and peasants of the world,
Thus the e of the great and
heroic people of Vietnam against U.S,
imperialism continues unabated.
intervention in the internal affaira of
the people of Indo-China falls Into line
with Washington's global strategy for
domination; the intransigence of Israel
in its continued occupation of Arab
lands and its denial of the just de-
mands of the Palestinian people has
turned the Middle East into an ex-
plosive battle ground seriously en-
dangering world peace and security;
the courageous people of Guinea Bissau
are pushing the NATO-supported Por-
tuguese colonialists out of Africa in
the course of bitter armed confron-
tation, while the Black masses and
youth of America wage a militant
struggle against racial discrimination,
exploitation and U.S, imperialism, with
the continuing resistance of the revo-
lutionary people of Cuba and Latin
America to the same imperialism;
and in the embattled Southern Africa,
the peoples of Angola, Namibla, South
Africa, Mozambique and Zimbabwe
are fighting wars of liberation against
an imperialist-backed alliance of Por-
tuguese colonialists, Rhodesian racists
and South African fascists,
str
AN UNFINISHED REVOLUTION
There is clear evidence that imper-
falism is losing gro but it i@ also
clear that the bitterest battles hafe
yet to be fought In the course of Africa
and Asia and for the complete defeat
of imperialism,
It follows from what | have said
that the Afro-Asian revolution which
AAPSO was formed to accelerate re-
mains, and will yet remain, an un-
finished revolution, especially if the
nighty aniw-imperialist forces con-
tinue in their present state of dis-
unity, and if “massive” or “ine
creased" material assistance to fight-
ing peoples ends, where it begins, in
speeches and resolutions,
if therefore, | have any message
for this Council Meeting, comprising
militants and revolutionaries from the
butde-fronts of armed conflicr ir is
a simple one -
Firstly,
With the object of launching a
decisive offensive to crush all
resistance to the forces for peace
and progress, let AAPSO initiate
& new and powerful campaign to
sink all differences and forge a
solid united front to all anti-im-
perialist forces,
Secondly,
Let this Council adopt a resolution
in which ic deplores the fact that
the tens of thousands of millions
of the peoples of the world who
support the national liberation
movement cannot provide enough
fire-arms, trucks, food, medicine
and funds for even the handful of
liberation movements fighting a- :
gainst colonialism and racism in
Africa,
In conclusion, | wish to salute this
Council Meeting in the name of the
fighting people of South Africa and to
acknowledge the valuable assistance
ami support given by our independent
brothers and sisters in Africa and by
AAPSO countries, and by our brothers ,.
in the socialist countries tn Europe,
In particular, | salute the leaders of
the new, dynamic and revolutionary
Republic of Libya which joined the van-
guard of the anti-imperialist forces
