THE BLACK PANTHER INTERCOMMUNAL NEWS SERVICE 25cents ONE WORD IS A THOUSAND WORDS TO A THOUSAND EARS. SAM NAPIER SPREAD THE PEOPLE’S WORD. EVEN NOW WE HEAR IT RESOUND TEN THOUSAND TIMES. “CIRCULATE TO EDUCATE” Sam Napier, Black Panther Party, intercom munal News Senvicey SX Circulation Manager, Murdered By Fascists, Ss 4 April 17, 1971 New York, New York ey STATEMENT BY HUEY P, NEWTON MINISTER OF DEFENSE OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY , AND SERVANT OF THE PEOPLE The original vision of the Black Panther Party was to serve the needs of the oppressed people in our com- munities and defend them against their oppressors. When the Party was in- itiated we knew that these goals would vaise the consciousness of the people and motivate them to move more firmly for their total liberation, We also re- cognized that we live in a country which has become one of the most repressive governments in the world even to the point of imperialist ex- ploitation in communities all over the world. We did not expect such a re- pressive government to stand by idly while the Black Panther Party went forward to the goal of serving the people. We expected repression, We knew, as a_ revolutionary vanguard, repression would be the reaction of our oppressors; bul we re- cognized that the task of the revolution- ist is difficult and his life is short, We were prepared then, as we arenow, to give our all in the interest of op- pressed people. We expected the re- pression to come from outside forces, which have long held our communities in subjection, However, the ideology of dialectical materialism helped us to understand that the contradictions surrounding the Partly would create a force that would move us toward our goals. We also expected contradictions within the Party, for the oppressors use infiltrators and provocateurs to help them reach their evil ends, Even when the contradictions come from for- merly loyal members of the Party, we see them as part of the process of development, rather than in the negative terms the oppressor’s media use to interpret them, Above all, we knew that through it all the Party would survive, The Party would survive because tt had the love and support of the people who saw their true interests expressed in the actions of the Party. The Party would also survive because it would be a political vehicle which continued to voice the interests of the people and serve as their advocales. The importance of a structured poli- tical vehicle has always been apparent to us. When we went toSacramento, we went for the purpose of educating the people and beginning the building of a permanent political vehicle to serve their true interests, In our most recent communication with both the North and South Vietnamese Revolutionary Gov- ernments, they pointed out that they understood what we were doing and saw it as the correct strategy. They said that a ‘‘structured organization is re- lated to politics as a shadowtoaman,”’ We recognize that the political machine in America has consistently required Black people to support it, through paying taxes and fighting in wars; bul that same machine consistently refuses to serve the interests of the Black community, One of the problems is that the community does not have a structured organization or vehicle which serves its needs and represents the people's interest, You can namore have effective politics without a structured organization, than you can have a man without his shadow, They go together and are necessary to each other. Oppressed Black people -- the lumpenproletariat -- did not have a Structured organization to represent theiy true interests until the Black Panther Party arose from within the community, motivated by the needs and conditions of the people. Across the country there have been coalitions of Black people and Black caucuses, but these have not served the people as political vehicles, They have merely served as bourgeois Structures to get Black candidates into political office. Once elected, the ma- chinery used to thrust these people into office simply passed out of existence or became _ ineffective, insofar as serving the true interests of the Black oppressed people. A tndy revolutionary vehicle which will survive the repression it en- counters daily is made up of a number of characteristics, First of allthereis a small, but dedicated cadre of workers who are willing to devote their full time to the goals of the organization, Secondly, there is a distinct organized Structure through which the cadre can function. It is this combination of structure and dedicated cadre which can maintain the machinery for meeting the people’s needs, In this way a printing press can be maintained to review the events of the day and in- terpret them in a manner which serves the people. [t can circulate information about daily phenomena and educate the people as to their true meaning, It can carry out programs of service which deliver to the people basic needs which are not satisfied elsewhere, because the lumpenproletariat are the victims of oppression and exploitation. A cadre and a structure, however, are not what makes the political vehicle a re- volutionary one, It is the revolutionary concepts which define and interpret phenomena, and establish the goals toward which the political vehicle will work, A revoluttonary vehicle is tn fact a revolutionary concep! set into motion by a dedicated cadre through a particular organized structure, Such a vehicle can survive re- pression because it can move in the necessary manner al the appropriate time, It can go underground if the con- ditions require; and it can raise up again, But it will always be motivi- tated by love and dedication to the interest of the oppressed cc ( ties, Therefore the people w its survival, for in that OLE lis service of their needs, The sh j and organized vehilce will gu the weathering of the test of and external contradictions. The responsibility of such a polit ; vehicle is clear. It is to function. machine which serves the tru terests of the oppressed people, means that it must be ever a ya) the needs of the communities o oppressed, and develop and exec necessary programs to rate needs. The Black Panther Party done this through its basic Ten-P Program. However, we recognize revolution is a process and we ca offer the people conclusions--we be ready to respond creatively to new conditions and new understandé Therefore we have developed our Free Breakfast Program, our Free He Clinics, our Clothing and Shoe Pro grams, and our Busses to Priso Program, as well as other programs sy in response to the obvious needs of Black People. The overwhelmingly oe vorable response to these programsin every community is evidence that the are serving the true interest of | j people. k Serving the true interest o also means that the pc must stand between the peo oppressive forces which Lee ‘pon them in such a manner that the ad-— ministrators will have to give the ee propriate response, Such articulation requires us to have apolitical organ which will express the interests of the people and interpret phenomena for them, The existence of such a poli-— tical vehicle is justified only so long as it serves the true interests of the people. Serving the true interests of the people, however, does not mean that the vehicle is simply a reflector of public opinion, because the opinions of the people have often been molded and directed against their true interests by slick politicians and ex-— ploitative educators. Their diversion-— ary tactics often lead the people down — blind alleys or onto tangents which take — them away from their true goals, We — can easily see this when we apply the concept of American democracy, to= the Black community, Democracy in America (bourgeo democracy) means nothing more tha 7 the domination of the majority overt minority. That is why Black people can cast votes all year long, but if the majority is against us, we suffer. es the politicians.and. educators try toc fe- ceive thes : euphemisms jority, in , are protedlan a in the demi y were in the int munity, there ish be no continued on next page continued from last page Free Breakfast Program, there would be no need for Free Health Clinics or any of the other programs we have developed to meet the people's needs, The rights of the minority are pro- tected by the standards of a bourgeois government, and anything which is not in their interest is not permitted. This may be democratic for the ma- jority, but for the minority it has the same effect as fascism, When the ma- jority decreed that we should be slaves, we were slaves--where was the demo- cracy in slavery for us? When the majority decreed that we should pay taxes, fight and die in wars, and be given inferior and racist education against our interests, we got all of these things. Where is democracy for us in any of it, Our children still die, our youth suffer from malnutrition, our middle-aged people suffer from sickle- cell anemia, and our elderly face un- bearable poverty and hardship because they reach the twilight period of their lives with nothing to sustain them through these difficult times. Where is the democracy in any of this for Black people? Democracy means only that the majority will use us when they need us and cast us aside when they do not need us, A true understanding of the working and effect of American democracy for Black people will reveal most clearly that it is just the same as fascism for us, Our true interests and needs are not being served, The political vehicle of the people must be guided by a consistent ideology which represents the true interests of the people. We see an ideology as nothing more than a systematic and organized set of principles for analyzing and interpreting objective phenomena, An ideology can only be accepted as valid, if it delivers true understanding of the phenomena which affect the lives of the people. The development of a wide variety of truths about the community, its internal de- velopment, and the external forces surrounding it, will lead then toa phil- osophy which will help orient us toward ‘THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY J, 1971 PAGE 3 SEATEMENT BY HUEY goals which are in the true interest of the people, The Black Panther Party was bornin a period of stress when Black people were moving away from the philosophy and strategy of non-violent action toward the sterner actions. We dared to believe that we could offer the com- munity a permanent political vehicle which would serve their true interests by meeting their needs and advocating their interests. We have met many foes; we have seen many enemies, We have been slandered, kidnapped, gagged, jailed and murdered, We know now, more than ever before, that the will of the people is greater than the technology and repression of those who are against the interests of the people, Therefore we know that we can and will continue to serve the people and educate the people. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Huey P, Newton Minister of Defense Black Panther Party, Servant of the People. Pam Conn, (L28S}— (NOTE: Pam, 20, and Marsha, 24 were arrested together in New Britain, Conn, one night In Jan- tary, handcuffed in a parking lot, and charged with violent robbery and conspiracy to rob, Strung out on heroin, they were brought before 4 judge who sent them to Niantic Stare Farm, a women’s prison in Connecticut, to go through withdrawal, After a hearing, they spent three months at Niantic, where they met Ericka.) MARSHA: We arrived at Niantic State Farm at 4:30 in the after- noon, We were taken to the ad- minsion room where they took fingerprints of us, took our picture, and a nurse checked us out, We had to sign # paper about state property, They gave us five dresses, five bras, five pairs of underpants, We were warned not to destroy thelr pro- perty. Hut we're supposed to be responsible for what they give us, you dig it7 ; The surse told me “You're sick, I'm going to let you go up- stairs. I'm pot going to send you to the infirmsry. You have to be quiet, If you raise too much nolie when you're kicking, they'll put you if the dungeon.”’ che said, ‘You'll get meticine bs t didn’ got anything exce;t ‘ \iX. TWO WOMEN SPEAK FROM NIANTIC PRISON two aspirin every four hours. We had to stay locked In 4 room for 60 hours, in isolation. They give you Look magazines to read and 4 puzzle to do, You go through Withdrawal alone. Ik took me about # month and a half to get to sleep, They give you no methadone, no pills, no anything to kick with. You have pains in your stomach, you have cramps in your legs, you have diarrhea, you vomit, you have headaches, your throat is swollen, your tongue ts swollen, There is no relief whatsoever, And if you Ue on the floor the floor’s cold, you try to lle on the floor togets littierelief-- they tell you, “NM I catch you laying on the floor again, I'm going to leck you up for extra days.”’ You can't sleep, so when you toss and turn, your sheets fal) off the bed. When they find your sheets off the bed, they Jock you up for extra days. PAM: A few weeks later, about ten sisters got locked up for singing “*Power to the People.” it seems funny now, but it really blew our minds at the time. We were Singing In the dining room, and some of the sisters were drawing and writing. We had s magic marker that belonged to a matron, One of the matrons came down to the dining room for the magic marker, **| want the magic marker,"’ she said. And we wouldn't give it up. We passed it around the whole room, all the sisters were passing it around, Finally we were told we could have no lunch until they got the magic marker. I thought there wan going tobe a riot that day. We started singing “Power to the People.” Ericka came downstairs, She told us, “Do you really tiulnk it’s fair for some of the sister to get in- volved when they aren't in- volved?" You know, ‘'becaune some of then aren't ready for it yet.’ And #0 we gave the magic marker up, They called us dew to the office, sbout ten of us, und we were told we /iad to be locked in our roome for alnging "' Power Marsha to the Pople.” We started hanging on the doors. They brought guards over. Idon't know what the guards were going todo, but they brought them over. When the matrons broaght our lunch up, we refused to eat, They opened the door and said, "Do you want your hinch?’’ We said no. They got real nervous about it, "Oh, you're refusing your lunch? You're rejecting your lunch?" And they kept asking us. So we finally told them, **just get the tray out of here, we don’t want it," Then, all the sisters were really thinking about why we got jocked. They started banging on the doors, we all started banging on the doors. The matron was up there all the time, she’s real sneaky about it, walking around on her tipeoes andeverytiiing. She says, “Well, if you dons quiet down, you won't be coming out of your room tomorrow moarn- ing’. So everybody did quiet down. A couple hours later she came by with papers ordering us to appear before the discipline board, They're papers, but we call them warrants, because it's like getting arrested. She slipped it under my door and | saw iti “You are charged with POWER TO ‘THE PRUPLE: SONG, SUN ave We cracked ut. Wethrewthem back out in the hallway, This was really when we started getting to know Ericka, She really talked to us, we listened, She's so strong and full of love. Ericka knew where we were coming from, why we were singing "'Power to the People’. She would come by our room every night and tell us, “Be stron.” We were locked in our rooms for about five days. While we were there facing the discipline board, we got messages fromall over Niantic, saying ‘‘Be strong”. Lonnie (McLucas) sent us a message, Hobby Geale) sent us a message, Even « brother on Death Row in New Jersey sent us a message, saying “*Hestrong Keep up the struggle.” He's on death row and he’s telling us to be strong? When [finally went before the discipline board, they said, "Do you plead guilty or not guilry7’ I told them, ‘'! don't plead no- thing till my lawyer's here.’ They looked at each other and sald ‘You go into your room and mtay there until you decide to talk", | said right on, and I wert to my foorn, So then Marsha went down, she told them the same thing. Another sister, Sylvia, and Milly, all the sisters locked intheir rooms told them, **We don’t plead anything until our lawyers are here”. The next day, they took us our of our room real quick, down in front of the Hourd, They had the nerve to say, ‘Well, since you won't put in your plea, we'll put it in for you. You’re found guilty’. Then they said, ‘'Yougirls can come out of your rooms now, do you have anything to say?’ They were waiting for us to say thueee you. We just walked on oust We were really ready for our rggmiy \ lot of Wisters think they € : iy got it made when they cat around the building, Big eal you see the same thing, The doag are locked, the windows are, Staying in your room. As days went by...the more they sald to us, the stronger we sh got. The more they locked us, the Stronger we got, Other sisters came in, we Started getting them together; we started 4 Sisterlove Collective, That's what we called it. Seo, 2 jot of sisters don't have money, 4 lot of sisters don't have people, Some of ux do, So we put all our Money together, Nobody has what they call thelr money, it's our money. MARSHA: When we got the money together, we'd go around and ask the sisters if they'd like lotion, or halr grease, or an afro-comb, Candy and cookies we'd share with everybody. It was all the sisters sharing, and the matrons didn’t Uke that. But whatever they Uke is not good for us, And whatever they don't Like, that’s what Is goodfor us. IT remember the first day [met Ericka, | came out of isolation, and went to the dining room. There was &@ seat vacant near Ericka, and abe told me, "Sister come sit over bere."’ There were some other sisters siteing at the table, and they asked me what I got charged for, and I rold ther, They asked me did [havea lawyer, and | told them no, They asked me did I have « family that had a car, and 1 told them no. A few days later, someboty drove my family up to see me. There's no medical care what- soever for the inmates at Niantic. KE you're sick, you tell the matron, ‘I'm sick, | want to see the doctor.’” You have to walt at feast two weeks before you can see « doctor, You go in there, they don’t have any kind of real cleanser for the bathroom or toilet, no — dhenfetracts.

Nashville, Tenn, When black women were first brought to this continent in bondage, part of their oppression entailed forced impregnation designed to insure fu- ture generations of chattel slaves, Now this situation is being transformed into its equally odious opposite through legislative campaigns for mass steri- lization of women forced onto relief by_ capitalism's financial crises, A bill has been introduced in both houses of the Tennessee legislature to “‘offer’’ ‘‘yoluntary’’ sterilization to women on welfare who have more than one “illegitimate” child, If the mother doesn’t ‘‘volunteer’’ to be Sterilized, her welfare payments would be cut off and each ‘‘illegitimare’’ child born after refusal would be declared ‘‘dependent,’’ ‘‘destitute’’ or “‘orphaned"’ and the state would have the right to take the child from its mother, State representative Larry Bates, sponsor of the bill in the House, rea- soned in a telephone interview that since the state’s maximum payment to a mother with five children was $161 a month, women would do better with less children, He said payments to fami- lies could not be raised because state welfare costs to families with depen- dent children had already risen $15 million a year for the last three years, The root of Tennessee's problems, THE FAMILY ASSISTANCE PLAN A STUDY BY THE NATIONAL WELFARE RIGHTS ORGANIZATION PRESIDENT Nixon and key members of the administrs- thon have heralded the Family Assistance Plan (PAP) as 4 revolutionary reform of the welfare system. How revolutionary is it? Now is the time to find out FAP in some version will come before the Congress in 4 matter of weeks. If it pasges it will be toc Lite for America’s 50 million poor people. Here are some of the things supporters claim FAP does, Do the facts support the claims 7: PAP ALLEVIATES POVERTY AMONG ALL AMERICANS *FAP’S basic grant level ($1600 for 4 family of four) is $2120 below the government’s own official poverty line and $4900 below the adequate income Use (computations based on Bureav of Labor Sratis- tics surveys.) *FAP dees Increase aid to the aged, blind, and dis- abled, (in fuct, its benefit schedule discriminates In thetr favor.) fut it doesn'r help them out of poverty. $1560, the maximum a single aged person could get under FAP, is still wholly inadequate.

Newton Minister Of Defense Of The Black Panther Party, Servant Of The People There's very muchin my heart today, And, I have very few words to express them, Samuel L. Napier was one ofthe first brothers to join the Black Pan- ther Party, and therefore he is a vet- eran of the struggle. He's always been attached to distribulion of our paper, the Black Panther paper, which is the life of the Party. The voice of the people. Those who would cut off Samuel Napier would cut off the voice of the people, But, because the voice is manifested in all of us, collectively, the voice will go on, Death comes to all of us, but it varies in its significance. To die for the reactionaries, the racists, the capitalists is lighter than a feather, But to die for the people, in service lo the people is heavier than any mountain and deeper than any sea, Samuel’s death is very significant. He will live on in spirit, because we'll make sure that we will advance the Struggle. And we will cry for those who are living, because we are in very sad shape. Samuel has now put down his burden; and it will be very heavy for us, because he carried the burden for thousands. He was an extremely hard worker, We won't be able to replace him, No. We can only fill in the rank, with a hundred, with a thousand men, Samuel Napier was a servant of the people; he gave the supreme gift to the people. So therefore Samuel Napier was the Supreme Servant of the people. ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE FOR SAM A BROTHER / FRIEND OF THE PEOPLE # remember now that sam used to call me sweet sister and his voice had a ring to it like music/sort of a soft-fast-hardworking voice (always a smile to it tho) that’s how his soul was - soft yet strong fast, yet not bypassing the needs of the people/ the FREE-dom of the people/ hardworking - yes he was the sweat engraved in the issues of our paper - in good times/in hard, bitter, bad times... he ts not/nor will ever be forgotten - he was too symbolic of all we stand for dedication love for the people self less ness seems as tho he was taken away so unnecessarily seems as tho we've got a lot to learn about this Struggle of ours seems as tho this country, amerikkka, wants to wipe out all the samuel napiers jonathan jacksons bobby seales of the whole world seems as tho we have a whole lot of work to do love to give, freedom to give. good brother, -«.t cannot be there/bobby cannot so - on that, i place a kiss upon your forehead and a dandelion in your hand (a dandelion because they grow wild Tree, rebellious over the earth) (like the people - poor people, Oppressed people.) ---this may be said many times, but it is sincere - you will not be forgotten, we love you, sweet brother we love your ericka I’m iurting inside about Brother Samuel Napier, It’s court recess now, and that pig police, lying tool of the power structuyve, that insane George Sams, just finished lying on the witness stand, But as I read the latest message here in jail to me and Ericka from Bigman, I take note of the fact that Bigman and other brothers and sisters were kid- napped by the pigs while Brother Big- man and other Party members were in the process of making arragements to send or ship Sam Napier’s body home to San Francisco - Oakland Bay Area, And as I recount now, I remember that untold, transcending dedication to the service of the people by one of the mosthard working, hianane persons I’ve ever known -- Brother Sam Napier, I’m really filled inside right now, We, Brother Sam Napier and I, used to work and discuss how and envision the day that the Black Panther News- paper would circulate upwards of 500, 000 throughout this country and lo revolutionary people around the world, Of course, a lot of credit, and, rightly so, must go to the dedicated sisters and brothers as a whole, But let us, all of us, remember, know, feel, and dialectically understand that we have lost a man, the brother, the humane person I know, we know closely, who was the foundation of the distribution management, And this ts really, with- out a doubt, the essence of communi- cating with and to the people the proper and necessary education and direction we, the masses, must take, imple- menting the vast munerous survival programs leading to the people's revolu- jor a tion better world, a imumane, FROM BOBBY TO THE PEOPLE peaceful world, without Jasctst war- mongering and tyrants, for an end to ruling class, capitalistic and imperia- listic exploitation and racist oppression of black people and oppressed peoples around the world. Revolution to end all of this so that mankind can live in peace and with humane, revolutionary love. “Humankind’' is the profound word that personifies the relevance and people's acquired necessity of brother Sam Napier’s revolutionary, dedicated hard, hard work. If there ever was a revolutionary, hwmane person, who worked 25 hours a day, one more than the 24, then Sam Napier must have done 30 hours a day. Sometimes, asl remem- ber, I'd ask myself how does Sam Napier do it, But with Brother Sam Napier’s care, vespect, responsibility and knowledge of the struggle, the peo- ple and of itumankind’s goal to end the world-wide and American exploitation and racist, fascist oppression... Sam Napier knew, and felt and practiced, with hardworking dedication what care, respect, responsibility and knowledge of the masses and black people’s freedom was all about, It can be summed up to what we know lo be a revolutionary love for the people, And now this pig system of exploitation and racist oppression, with the aid of renegading jack-n-apes have viciously Slaughtered and murdered our hard working, dedicated Brother Sam Napier. That very lumane revolutionary back- bone of the people's struggle -- Brother Sam Napier.

He said that ; he had heard them at Lonnie McLucas’ _ trial. She then asked him if these tapes _ were the accurate production of tapes that were made that night, which he participated in making, or were they possibly re-copied tapes, He said that they were the same tapes. He said that George Sams told him to operate that tape recorder, Katy then asked him if Sams had told Ericka what to ‘say. There were two tapes to be played. The first was of Ericka introducing the tapes. In the background a male voice was telling her certain things to say. It was brought out that that voice was the voice of George Sams, and at times, Warren Kimbro, The second tape was that of Alex Rackley, Throughout thal tape he (Rackley) told of informers that were infiltrating the New York Chapter which were the cause of the New York 2l’s arvest. He said he was scared to say anything, In the tape he named Janet Cyril, David Bro- thers and Brothers’ secretary, anda few more names of persons said to be police informers. That tape was about 45 minutes long, Afterwards Kimbro said that Rackley was then sent upstairs to take a shower, Kimbro went on to say that after this, Sams ordered George Edwards be brought downstairs, because Sams had been told that Edwards too was an in- former, He said that Ericka and he (Kimbro) were told that Edwards was an informer, but that they never told Sams that, and he therefore had no idea how Sams found out, He said that Sams ordered that Edwards be tied to a chair. Edwards continued to defend himself from being called an informer, Sams told him to go upstatrs and make a tape, At that point, Kimbro said, everyone prepared to go to a Rally Hartford. ns a around 7:30 pm, everyone returned to 365 Orchard from Hart- ford; and Lonnie McLucas, ty Sams, Ericka and he went aapsnite 0 see about Rackley, He safd east “ss was beginning to get a f.ver; a i one point there was talk of taking h to the hospital, They were then ordered by Sams to tie Rackley to the bed with Ace bandages, Afterwards, Lan- don Williams came in and said that Rackley wasn't tied well enough, So they tied him to the bed with wire. He said that Landon said that they were going to keep him until Bobby came to New Haven, Kimbro said that the next day Bobby came to New Haven, and that he and Ericka were told to meet them. He said that in the car they met were Bobby Seale, June Hilliard, David Bro- thers, Landon Williams and some brother that he had never seen before then, They went over to Ericka’s house, June and Rory Hithe left there for Orchard St,, so that June could meet the other members of the Chapter and see the office, Kimbro said that while there, June saw Alex Rackley, and that Rackley asked if Bobby were going to have him killed. He stated that June answered that the Chairman wasn’t concerned with him. : Everyone then left to hear Chairman Bobby speak at Yale University, After the speech, Kimbro said he was told by Ericka to find a place where Bobby could have a meeting with the rest of the Chapter, On Wednesday, April l4th, Garry presented the tape that was made the night that Bobby spoke at Yale, The tape essentially started offwith Ericka introducing Bobby, The speech that Bobby made was about the People’s struggle and the Black Panther Party; about the way the pigs are trying to destroy the Party and the reasons they’re trying to destroy it. The tape was one hour and forty-five minutes long. Afterwards, Garry asked Kimbro how many times he had spoken to Sergeant DeRosa since January 12th, 1970. Kimbro said aboul five or six times since then, Garry asked him if he felt that Rackley was an informer, He said, ‘‘no’’, Kimbro went on that Rackley had even rolled a few Pan- ther posters withhim, Garry asked him why then did he tie him to a bed, He said because if he didn't, he felt he would have been tied to the bed him- self. He said that at one point Sams slapped Lonnie McLucas around, Garry reminded Kimbro that in some of the past statements he had made he had said that Sams was very sadistic. This time Kimbro said this was not so, Later on that day, Kimbro said that after he shot Alex Rackley, he went back to the car and gave the weapon he used, a .45 calibre hand gm, to Sams. He said that Sams said he in- AND COMRADE ERICKA HUGGINS tended to throw the remaining bullets out the window of the car onto the turn- pike - which he did, except for one bullet, and that he didn’t know what he was going to do with that r bullet. Kimbro said they then went back to the office, put the gun away and played some records and smoked some marijuana, Garry again reminded him of his past testimony, in which he had Said that after he shot Rackley he dropped his hands to his side and gave the gun to Sams, Kimbro said he had forgotten it, On Thursday, April 15th, Katy Rora- back exposed more of Kimbro’s contra- dictory statements. One was that he Said this time that just before he and Lonnie left to take Rackley away, Ericka told them not to take Kimbro’s car, because it was too well known. This was something that he didn’t men- tion in Lonnie’s trial, He said it was because he forgot. He was asked whether he had gone over that part about the car with D.A, Markle, At first he stalled, Then, at last, he said ‘tyes’, He was asked about how the State had made a deal with him, if he were to become a State’s witness and that he would get his sentence dropped. Then Garry told him about Lonnie's sentence and told him to compare it to what he himself would have gotten, since he has admitted that he was the one who supposedly shot Rackley first. Al this Mulvey (the ‘‘Judge’’) became very angry, and said that Lonnie was sentenced by the court and that it wasn't for Garry to stick his nose into the court’s business. He then told Garry to move to another subject. Garry continued to question these ob- vious lies, until Mulvey began to shout, Shortly after this, court was adjourned, On Friday, another prosecution wit- ness was called to the stand, a State trooper, It was ruled that Markle could have him testify that the evidence that they found on Rackley'’s body was that which the State presented in court, So the trooper looked through the things, the ‘‘evidence’’. Later, a Dr, Chase was called, Chase said that he had been called to the scene of the crime to examine the body. He ex- plained the condition of the body, The rest of that day was spent with Dr, Chase talking’ about, the condition of Rackley’ sbody. \\ ation on the latest events oT Seeds of this attempted legal lynching will ap- pear in next week's issue ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Connecticut State Chapter Black Panther Party THB BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1971 PAGE I4 ON THE RE-UNIFICATION OF THE KOREAN FATHERLAND AN INTERVIEW WITH MEMBERS OF SOUTH KOREAN FOR RE-UNIFICATION PYONGYANG, DEMOCRATIC PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF KO FEBRUARY,1971 Why is Korea divided?

We carry out propaganda work ad mass struggles tn accordance with the oN must educate the people on the Party. its founding, the Revolutionary Party for Reunification played the leading role In all ‘popular movements. We led the June 3 Popular Up- |, Tising in 1964, Also in 1956, we organized and led the demonstrations against the visits of Vice-President _ Humphrey and Japan's Premier Sato to South Korea, In 1966, we organized the actions against the Presi- dential and parliamentary elections. In 199, Pak Jung ‘Hi tried to change the constitution so that he could ‘Stay in power. We led the movement against changing the constitution to prevent Pak Jung Hi from running for a third term. ‘The struggle of the Revolutionary Party for Reuni- fication has dealt some telling blows to US fascist tole, and the enemy has Intensified its suppression against us. In 1%8, many revolutionary anti-US fighters _ fneluding Chol Yun Do, Li Mun Gu, Kim Jung Tae _and many others were tortured and killed by the enemy, Even today many of our comrades are in prison, sen- yo ed up its suppression, the RPR has emerged as the vanguard of the revolution in the South, ‘Those party organizations which were crushed by the enemy have been restored. New Party organizations have been set up wherever there are people in South Korea, Inthis way, the Party has deep roots among the people, + he What in particular brought on the repression in 1987 For propaganda purposes the Revolutionary Party for Reunification has a newspaper Chongmek Green Vein) and a magazine Revolutionary Front, Originally Chongmek was legal. it carried out propaganda against foreign interference and the fascist dictatorstiip in South Korea, Pak Jung Hi cloved down the publication and killed its editors Kim Jung Tae and Li Mun Gu, claiming that they agreed with the North, Afeer this, a few local organizations were found by the enemy, but most were not, Ax 1 said before, those which were destroyed hve since been restored. After five years of preparation, In August, 1969, the Central Committee of the Party waa founded and our manifesto and program were published, After the re- pression in 1968 our magazine Revolutionary Front wan Gixcontinued for awhile but since June 1970 we are publishing it again, Also the "Voice of RPR" broad- casts widely from underground In South Korea, Since we have this unified party organtzation, whenever any popular uprising occurs, we cart scientifically lead the people to victory. We're familiar with the Manifesto of the Revolutionary eutty a Reunification because it was published in the US. A long discussion of it isn’t necessary, but would you discuss it briefly and describe some of the main am? Oe owe eevee, ivan are two main tasks, Our major task ts to build socialism and communism in our country. Our present goal is & drive tie US imperta- lists out of South Korea, smash the Pak jung Hi clique and unify the country, At present in South Korea, the in an enti-fascist, oemocratic struggie, One point of our Program is that all means of pro duction belang to the Pati erland anti the People, er torles of cormprader ( @ native having: charge 0 re business of a foreign agent, usually US, rear capitaliste will be confiscated and nationsitzed, A ot rivers, lands, and mountaina should belung to thu Ra sants who till the land, So we will conliscate m and distribute them te te peasants free of ice Thte will toclude all pacty flekis over 4 ers Yd and all dry Helde over $ hectares, exceit thase be We will not confis- long io patriotic jandowner® reieig Be pr people whe take part in the wees in the case af education for the people we will edics them with the great revolutionary ideas of Comrade Kim i Sung after eradicating all bourgeois and re- actionary ideas. After the revolution we will have mutual independent friendly foreign relations with cotin- tries that love democracy, independent, and world- peace, These are some of the points of our program, They represent the Interests of the entire Korean people, They are based on the great Juche idea of Comrade Kim tl Sung, the leader of the Korean revolution, What are the ideas of the Revolutionary Party for Reunification for the unification of Korea? As Comrade Kim [1 Sung said: "We want to unify our country without the intervention of outside forces, Independently, with our own efforts, detnocratically and peacefully, The United Nations has ho right to interfere with the reunification of our country. As long as the US imperialists are stationed Inside South Korea, and as long as the fascist rule of the Pak Jung Hi clique remains, the question of reunification cannot be solved. Under the present circumstances reunification bs im- possible,” As the first step forward toward unification, Com- rade Kim 11 Sung proposed that North and South Korea exchange cultural groups and sports teams a9 well as mal) and visits between families. However, the US imperialists and the Pak Jung Hi regime totally rejected this, calling for ‘Reunification after the defear of com- munism("' This shows they don't want reunification, but want to keep the country divided forever. Unification of the country can only be achieved after the overthrow of the Pak Jung HI clique. Se we are de- termined to mmash with revolutionary violence the LS imperialists and their puppet, Pak Jung ti, Then alter a progressive democratic government taxes power and 4 general confederation between North and South Kores is established, we can golive the problem of unification of our country. Lf we defeat the US imperialist and Pak Jung Hi clique and establish people's power inthe South, then we will make proposals to the North, to settle this problem peacefully, We know that the Revolutionary Party for Reunification understands the need for armed struggle to achieve national Mberation from the US and to overthrow the Pak Jung Hi clique, How has the RPR prepared itself for armed struggle and what are some recent suc- cessful guerilla actions carried out by the RPR? The Revolutionary Party for Reunification considers underground organizing as the primary means for strengthening and Increasing the revolutionary forces in the South, This doesn’t mean that we reject armed struggle. To isolate the enemy, we are constantly carrying out armied actions, In preparation for the armed popular uprising In South Korea, we need wea~ pons, so we attack police stations, ambush reserve army camps, and kill puppet army troops to get them, This happens every day. Guerilla units are also blowing up enemy trains, bombing puppet office buildings and cutting enemy communication Unes, One of our actions took place list year on June 25, the anniversary of the start of the Korean War, Every year on that day Pak Jung Hi and other lackies visit the graveyard of the UN and Puppet army soldiers who were killed during the war, Last year we planted mines in the cemetary just before they arrived. When these mines exploded, many high-ranking officers were killed. ven though armed struggle is pot yet widespread in South Keres, our armed groups are carrying out these types of actions, Comrade Kim Ul Sung taught us the importance of combining violent struggle with non-violent struggle, political struggle with economic struggle, Ulegal struggle with legal struggle. In this way, we are preparing for the coming revolutionary storm. Could you tell us @ little About the background of Pal Jung Hi and «lao hew you view the upcoming elec- tiuns in South Korda on April: 27th?

AL i THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1971 PACE F -ON THE RE-UNIFICATION x ‘rom tastpare OF THE KOREAN FATHERLAND eA: this time, Pak Jung Hi became a US army agent, In 1947-48, be fun to be « communist, ae rea US impertalints, In this way he contributed to the mur= der of many Korean patriots by the US-CIA, "7 After the April 19 Popular Uprising, the South Korean people's desire for reunification reached a high point. In response to this, the US imperialists backed the Pak Jung Hi military coup d'etat on May 16, 1961, This coup d'etat was entirely @ creation of the CIA, After the establishment of the Pak Jung Hi dictatorship, veloping rapidly, while Pak Jung Hi is trying desperare- ly to maintain his power. You know, fascist dictator- ahip is the highest form of bourgeois government, if it weren't for the fascist dictatorship in South Korea, people’s power would have already been extablished, Pak Jung Hi is trying all kinds of tricks to stay in power. We feel that tn this election there will be many votes for the opposition party. The people are well aware of all the hardships that the Pak Jung Hi dicatatorship has caused in ite ten years in power, Pak Jung Hi can't be elected without using illegal methods in this year's elections, Progressive political parties are banned In South Korea, Because of this, the Conservative Opposition Party which represents landlords and capitalists ts considered ‘'progressive’', This Conservative Oppos!- tion Party ts calling for cultura] and sports exchanges as well an relaxation of travel restrictions with the North, They are also calling for the establishment of diploma- te relations with communist countries, When even 4 conservative party puts forth these demands, you can imagine how much the Korean people want reunification and the end of the Pak Jung Hi regime. Pak Jung Hi is trying to become # dictator for ife ike the fascist Franco in Spain, So he wies to suppress i opposition parties-~even the Conservative Opposition arty, Last week, for example, 4 bombwas thrown Into the nome of Kim Tae Jun, the candidate of the Con- servative Opposition Party, The South Korean people are not interested in poll- tical elections and more than half of them don’t vote, Since the polling places throughout the country are con- trolied by Pak Jung Hi agents, they mark all ballots that are lef blank. So Pak Jung Hi may be reelected president through illegal methods, but the South Korean people will never consider him their leader. : What should progressive Americans do to hasten the defeat of US imperialism in South Korea and aid the South Korean people in their just struggle? Even though we are far away from each other, and our history, culture, and revolutions are different, we are friends who are fighting againat the same enetny, the military gangsters of the Wall Sereet millionaires and the Pentagon, Wf we carry out 4 united struggle in Vietnam, in South Korea, and in the US, we can isolate the LS im- perialists and win, Why should « handful of biillonares exploit and insult the working class and suppress the Black people's struggle in the US? Why do the US Im- perialluts occupy South Korea am! cause problems for our people who want to unify our country? why do the US imperialists try to defeat the Vietnamese people's just struggle?

Hur the Une continued on next page a THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1971 PAGE 17 FRED BENNETT’S BODY FOUND The ruling circle of this empire will use and has used any tactic necessary to villify and destroy the Black Panther Party, Character assassinations, legal railroads, and vicious murders have been some of these tactics, And now, with the recent contradictions within the Black Panther Party and the sub- Sequent defection of Eldridge Cleaver from our Party, the pigs have found a new weapon, Fred Bennett, adedicated member of our Party for three years, a strong leader and organizer in the Bay Area has now fallen victim to these master criminals, They knew that Fred was in charge of the East Oakland Branch and well known by the community, They knew also how close he was withour Chairman Bobby Seale, They also knew of his work with the Soledad Brothers Defense Committee, But the pigs’ perfidious behavior does not end here, They had full know- ledge of Fred’s death and kept their foul, bizarre ~murder of hima secret for apparently over two months until their most opportune moment arrived, The death of Sam Napier, circulation DARRYL AND ESSEX The fascist courts tn Cuyahoga County (hilo) are try- ing to lynch comrades Darry! Harris and EssexSmith, On September 29, 1970 Darryl Harris and Essex Smith were arrested and charged with rape, abduction, armed rob- bery, and shooting with Intent to kill, They are each being held for ransom in Lleu of $50,000 bail, Although Comrades Harris and Smith have witnesses to their whereabouts at the time of the incident inval- wing a Cleveland State University couple, the charges stil} stand. Neither witness could make an identification until a myuch-pressured sisth Lineup, and prodding from the police and prosecution. In fact, both men were finally dressed in clothes, har and sunglasses that fit witness descriptions before being identified, ‘These men are innocent! They were arrested not for crime, but for being dedicated workers tn survival programs of the Cleveland Branch of the Black Panther Fred Bennett manager of the Black Panther Party Intercommunal News Service - which was also at the hands of these was also at the hands of these fascists - provided just such an op- FREE Party. They were locked up for providing survival pro- grams such as Pree Breakfast for children, Free medi- cal care to the community and selling Black Panther Papers, The arrest of Darry! Harris, and Essex Smith were part of a pattern of vicious repression by the Cleveland Police Department, From June 2%h to Septem- ber 2%h (1970) over 25 Cleveland Panthers were ar- rested und charged with forty felonies, In fact only one week prior to September 29, Essex and Tommie Carr were Giarged with Inciting to riot. Ball was initially set at $100,000.00 each and then kind-beartedly lowered to $50,000.00, This amounts to’ sentencing them to jail while they are presumed Inno- cent, East Cleveland Congregational Church members voted to allow use of church property (valued at $250, 000,00) for bail purpose The Clerk of Courts acting on portunity, Rather than just eliminate individual Party members, their latest strategy is murdering a Panther, set- ting up & scape-goat, trumping up charges, and villifying an entire or- ganization, They want the people to focus in on their lies and distortions of the Party, depicting the Party as a bunch of animalistic -killers who are having a gang war, while they, in fact, continue to kill our revo- lutionary comrades, The people are aware of these tac- tics, for they know the Party and its programs, They knew Fred Bennett and Sam Napier, They know that love and survival through service to the people is the Party’s program. However, they have seen the brutal murder of Li'l Bobby Hutton and many others by racist, fascist, gestapo pigs, They are now witnessing one of the most sophisticated and calculated at- tempts to destroy the Party. But we will survive all of these attempts, because we will continue to serve the people, No force onearthcan alter Fred's vision, Sam’s vision, our vision of the world we want to build, the advice of the County Prosecutor and county judges refused to accem church property as security. And now six months after arrest and imprisonment, the jodicial system is preparing to railroad Darryl and Essexinto the Otto Penitentiary. continue; Darryl and Essex must be set free.

END OF SERIES! THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1971 PAGE 18 October 1966 Black Panther Party Platform and Program What We Want 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter- mine our destiny 2. We want fall employment for our people We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man emplovoient or ou guaranteed income We believe that if the white American businessmen will not yive fullemployment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organue and em ploy all of tts people andl pave a tay standard at tiving 3, We want an end te the robbers by the CAPITALIST of our Black Communits We believe that this racist government tus robled us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of forty averes and two mules Forty acres and iWe tnules was promised 100 veor age as restitution for slave labor and niass mune of black people We will geeupt tie payment in carrenes Which will te distmtuted to our many communities The Germans are now viding the Jows in tstavl for the genovide of the Juwish people. The Ger inans murdered iN million Jews The American racist has taken part im the slaughter of over fifty million black people. therefore. we feel that this isa modest demand thal we make 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings We beheve that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community. then the housing and the land should be made inte cooperatives $0 that our community. with povernment aid. can build and make decent housing for its people 5. We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a knowl: edge of self If a man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything vise 6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service. We believe that Black people. should not be forced to fight in the mifi- lary service to defend a racist government that does not protect us. We will not fight and kill other people of color in the world who, like black people, are being victimized by the white racist government of America We will protect ourselves from the force and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary 7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people |SERVING THE PEOPLE What We Believe We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or- ganizing black selflefense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Const!tition of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore beieve that all black people should arm thems¢lves for self-defense 8 We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county and cits prisons and jails We believe that all piack people should be released from the many jails and prisons because they have not received a fair and impartial trial 9. We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States. We beiteve that the courts should follow the United States Constitution o that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the US Constitution gives a man)s right to be tried by his peer group, A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religious. geographical, en- vironmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court will be forced to select a jury from the black’ community from which the black defendant came We have been, and are being tried by all-white juries that have no understanding of the “average reasoning rian” of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of black people as to their national destiny. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another. and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and naturg’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness That, to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed; that, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers In such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness, Pru- dene. indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for lipht and transient causes, and. accordingly, all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer. while evils are sifferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pur suing ivuriably the same object, evinees a desiga to reduce them under ab- solute despotiom, it iy their right, it is their duty, to throw off such govern- mont. and to provide new guards for their future security BODY AND SOWbL All Power to the People NEW YORK: THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY THANKS THE FOLLOWING PARTIAL LIST OF STORES FOR GIVING THE PEOPLE OF NEW YORK THE OPPORTUNITY TO OBTAIN THE BLACK PANTHER INTERCOMMUNAL NEWS SERVICE BROOKLYN: African Shop Livingston & Flatbush All Sol's 555 Nostrand Ave, Arthur's Grocery Store $63 Kingston Ave. Arthur's Newstand § Kingston Ave, Black Fox 769 Nostrand Ave. Boot Black 606 Nostrand Ave, C& M Restaurant 276 Kingston Ave, Callensten Store 231 Kingston Ave. Candy & Luncheonette 376 Urica Candystore 331 Franklin Ave, Record Shop 668 Sutter Ave. Sound Town 812 Franklin Ave. Stone's 650 Nostrand Ave, Unique Hi Fi 691 Nostrand Ave. Vann's 589 Franklin Ave. Washington Candy Store 365 Chasfoli Ave. Wright's L & M Store 1507 Fulton St. Yardboro Store 1263 Bedford Ave. Candystore Si) Franklin Ave. Candystore 792 Franklin Candystore 829 Franklin Ave. Candyastore 2154 Fulton St. Candysture 292 Nostrand Ave, Candyatore 355 Nostrand Ave, Candystore & Newstard 69 Hockaweay Candystore & Newnrtand Jim Rockeawey Cutters Pharmacy 62) Nostrand Ave, Duros Jige (Mrican Sho 4(2 Nostrand Ave Freedom Hookatore 526 Nostrand Ave, Eddie's Candystore 379 Nostrand Ave. Gall Stationary Ill Rutland Rd, Harry's Candystore 2227 Atkin Ave. J & 11 Luncheonette 699 Nostrand Ave. Jenkins’ Candystore 924 Fulton St. Kingston Car Service 284 Kingston Ave, Larry's Candystore 849 St. John’s Place Lunch & Candy Store 100 Kingston Ave. New Shop 260 Uxica Newstarsl 414 Rockaway Ave, Newstand Corner of 145th & 6th Ave. Newntand 2 Sutter Ave, Nicholtion’s Candy Store 305 Ralph Ave, Omawale's Boutique 637 Thruep Ave. Orris 943 Sutter Ave, Ours lac, 1727 Pitkins Ave. Prince’s Candystore 735 Nottrrand Ave, Psychedelic Unlimited 52] Franklin Ave. R&B Variety Shop 79] Saratoga Ave, Record Shop 356 Pranklin Ave. Yocra Cab Service 686 Sutter Ave, HARLEM: Al Mosley'’s Variety Store 130 Lenox Ave. Afro Mart Gam Barnes) 103-W, 125 th St, Afro Sound 1708 Amsterdam Ave, Ben Davis fookstore 135th St. & & Ave. fien Prankila Newstund 135, Corner of Lenox Ave. Hlackshop Trh Ave, bet.
