The final straw was when their son, Tyrone, age 12, found atear-gas canis- ter which exploded in his hands, causing minor burns, Investigators from the Central Los Angeles Jail arrested Tyrone, took him down to the pig sta- tion and illegally interrogated him, They badgered him with questions such as, “*Didn’t you get this canister from the Panther’s house, four blocks away?’’, or ‘‘How many guns do you see when you go to the Panther's Center for Breakfast?’’. The pigs knew that the canister was one that was left after a pre-dawn Los Angeles Police raid upon that Panther house a few months prior (December, 1969), And so did Mrs, Canady, who had to rush down to the police station to demand her son’s release to make sure he received proper medical attention for his burns, for which he had still not received treatment, So it was because of this constant harassment that the IN A Canadys decided to move, They went to a real estate broker, Wiley C, Nelson, located at 4118 South Figueroa, Nelson, persuaded them to purchase a house at 1572 Santa Bar- bara Avenue in Los Angeles, The house was sold to them for $12,000,, with payments arranged at $108, per month, The Canadys signed a temporary agreement, which later turned out to be their death warrant, After they were living in the house for a month, the Southern California rainy season@/Sturted, On the second day of the/rainy\season, the Canadys returned home fo\find the roof caved in and Water, pouring all over the living and dining akeas, After a few days, the house was so ‘badly damaged that it was ‘possible to see the sky from inside, CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE THIRTEEN CONTINUED FROM LAST PAGE The Canadys attempted to contact Nelson, the realtor, with no success, A few days later, the City Inspector came by, saying the property had been condemned long before they were duped into buying it, and that he didn’t under- Stand why the family was living there. This was the beginning of the run- around for the Canady family, Seeking assistance from the government, they applied to the F.H.A. (Federal Housing Authority), The F,H.A, officials said everything could be arranged withour any problem, and that they would soon be able to move into another home, fit for human habitation, In the meantime, the entire family was forced to move into a back house on the lot they had purchased, which property had also been condemned and had been formerly used for storage, This is where they’ve been for the past six months, The F,H,A, has ignored the Canady family for the last six months, In des- peration, the Canadys sent the following letter to the F,H,A,: “‘We’re sending this letter to make sure that you know of our present Situation, We’ve spent some money given to us by the communily- Perhaps you can’t undzvstand our using this money to mak life a little easier for our children, but when you live in a place where you can’t cook when il rains because the plaster from the PEOPLE > THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26,1971 PAGE 3 IN A ceiling falls in the food; where your kids have to sleep on the floor and rats crawl over them at night and bite them; where no one can take a bath because the hot water heater is broken and there is no hot water in the entire house; and even if it did, the plumbing in the bathtubiscompletely clogged and won’t drain; where we didn’t have any toilet facilities for over two months, because the toilet was broken and the landlord wouldn’t fix it. And thirteen people live in a three-room shack, The nurse from the Public Health De- partment finally forced the landlord to fix our toilet, so we could use it, Maybe if you had to live in this kind of an environment, you could under- stand, Because of all of these things, our children have continued colds, sore throats, rat bites and are continually filthy, They are taunted by their school mates, laughed at, picked on and bullied. They can’t do their school work as they should, because we don’t have many lights, and the City is threatening to remove the meter, as the house we live in has been condemned, Our social worker has told us that if we continue to live like this, and don’t get our new home, that all of our children may be placed in foster homes, The only thing they have of value now is our love, and our desire to THREE-ROOM HOUSE keep our family together, and if that is taken away from them, what will they have left, If we could get our new home soon, we can get our children out of this kind of an animal existence, How can we raise our children to understand that there is a better life for them? That they deserve and are entitled to havea hot meal, a hot bath, and to sleep in a bed, away from the rats and cold damp floor. How can we teach them that in this country, everyone, regard- less of color, is entited to a chance at a decent life? If this isn’t a hardship case, what would you call it?’’ The F.H,A, has even ignored this last, desperate plea from the Canady Family, They are still living in the storage room of their condemned home, This is just another blatant example of the obvious contradictions which exist in a country full of wealth, pros- perity and conspicuous consumption, A cooperative form of housing must be established to insure decent housing for everyone, The Black Community and the Black Panther Party will con- tinue to support the Canadys in their fight for decent housing fit for human beings - for it is our fight, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Southern California Chapter Black Panther Party, THE TEN POINT PLATFORM AND PROGRAM OF THE BLAGK PANTHER PARTY, LIKE ALL THINGS, DOES “NOI SIAND -GUTSIDE OF ‘DIALECIICS.

On April 24, 1970, around midnight, Geroge Flowers of 2234 N. Bancroft Sr,, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was sitting in his car at Washington and Darlington Srreets in near-by West Chester getting ready togo home, when he was viciously snatched off the streets which actresulted in hits facing one year of torture. That night, down the street, parked in an unmarked car was « Black policeman bythe name of Detective Darnell. Darnell knew George, and at one time had assumed a very personal relationship with George's sister. Another police car pulledup infront of George’s car and the policeman from this car, plus Darnell, got out with their guns drawn and approached George, who had gotren out of his car to find out what was going on, He was searched, along with his car, and all that was found was a one-inch knife that is commonly bought as a charm, He then was Placed into a police car, awaiting the trip to the police Station, not knowing why he was being arrested, $.~—$.~$--§ $$. 6. 4 While George wis sitting in the car, a robbery took Place in abar across the street, in which three men were involved, Within moments, 30 policemen arrived in the area, equipped with all thelr combat armor (machine guns, riot pump shotguns, etc.), and they began moving on the bar, Among them were Chief Frame, Chief of police of West Chester andthe Thorndale Township police chief, A shoot-outoccurredwhich resulted In gne brother being shot 28 times; the other brothers were unhurt. When everything settled down, another of thebrotherssuspected of the robbery was placed in the car with George; and they were then taken off to the pig station, At the station, Darnell questlonedGeorge and toldhim that he was being charged with robbery, robbery with accomplices, assault with intentto kill, burglary, larce- ny, conspiracy, receiving stolen goods and carry acon- cealed, deadly weapon, These are charges in connection With the robbery that took place while George was in the plg car. These pigs were charging George with a crime that he obviously took no part in, for they hadhim in custody at the time. George then asked Darnell about the arraignment, and Darnell said that the ball would probably be $100,000 and that he himself was going to do everything possible to prevent him from ever getting out, Ball was set at $100, 000, He was then sent to Chester County Prison Farm where he stayed seven months before going to trial. After being in prison afew days, a lawyer by the name of Lynch told George to plead guilty andhe would get him off with only five years, George firedhim on the spot and was then sent another lawyer, Arthur Earland, by his wife. While in jati with the other three brothers who were arrested for the robbery, a JudgeShelly sent note down to them all, threstening therm and already declaring them guilty. Part his message was thathe didn't like niggers, ex-cops, or people from Philly (Philadelphia), and that they weren't ever yetting out, And Pig Shelly tried the three brothers and sent them up to Graterford Prison, However, he did not get 4 chanceto preside at George's trial. In December of 1970, George Flowers went to trial. During the whole four-day ordeal, lie dida't have any wit- nesses to testify in his defense; and, besides tis point, his lawyer acted as though he had no interest in the case, At the rial, uiree police chiefs testified against him, au MESSAGE FROM FOLSOM CADRE- | BLACK PANTHER PARTY that the test of strength, and the man: festation of our power lay dormant in the potential brain power of our you and growing Black youth, which stands on the premise of precise and prop images focused on the role awa them in this society as gallant tra formers and revolutionary fighters 1 the People’s Vanguard, Black children no longer have the idea forced into their minds that free- dom is attained only through the pro- cess of serving the ruling class, by working on menial jobs - when jobs can be found, and by serving in the armed services of this country, But, that freedom is obtained by struggle and self-sacrifice, and by endowing oneself with the aspirations of the Peo- ple, the oppressed; and, by working in full service of their needs - which means educating and organizing around concrete and social and political is- sues, through liberation schools, com- munal living, community service op- erations and productions, and by uniting political theory with practice. Thus we embrace this past revolu- tionary Fathers Day as a reminder EAR OF Tf one, GEORGE FLOWERS did other pigs.And Darnell also testified, saying thathe didn’ t know George. His jury was all White, not a jury of his peers, Although there were no witnesses In behalf of George, the trial resulred in ahung jury, the fury had stayed out for 4 toral of 12 hours, having come back Into the courtoom inthe 7di hour to ask the judge (judge Dayis) about instructions as to wistto do abour their {n- decision, Judge Davis sent them back with orders to de- cide, When they finally returned, they reported tharthey could reach no verdict. A motion was then made to re- duce the bail from $100,000 to $25,000. Judge Davis said that he would have to consult the other judges, since he was just a ‘visiting judge."’ George didn't get a bail re- duction. On February 22, 1971 , he foundoutthat he no longer had counse], Earland had dropped the case. This was when he wentbefore JudgeShelly for a decision about the bail reduction, where he was given a public defender. Public defender McQuitty told George thathe was going to try to gerthe ball reduced to $10,000, When Shelly was asked to lower the ball, he saidtharit was possible to do so, Since the manhadbeen lockedup for almost a year, Shelly then proceeded to ask George some questions, and finally said, ‘You're that fella involved with those other three, No, I'm not lowering your ball, You should have been found guilty with the other three." George was then taken back to the prison farm, McQuitty came to see him and stated tharthe Black man in West Chester County has no chance, All the time while George was in prison, he was con- stantly talking to the other prisoners. Many times he would restore confidence to some of his fellow inmates. This action won fiir support among the Inmates and an- ger from the prison officials, As a result, gotne of the prison guards harassed and intimidated him even more. On top of everything else, he started getting sick. This started even before the trial. In November of 1970 he went to the prison doctor (Dr. Kessler) and com- plained af going blind In one eye and of severe head- aches, The ‘Doctor told him that nothing war wrong, ‘Just 4 Little sinus trouble causing the headaches.” He didn’t even bother to diagnose the oncoming blindiess, During the first week of January, blood vessels burst In in our recognition of Huey P, Newton, the Supreme Servant of the People.

Hayes and Robert Pollard, Were ontheir way to answer another call, when they saw these brothers standing oa the corner, Although they had been called to investigate a stabbing, they apparently forgot the im»ortance of where they were supposed to be going, In the past, these patrolmen have harassed the community so much, that brothers have begun run- ning a* the mere sight of them. So when these brothers saw the police, they too dispersed and ran, Claiming that they had heard several shots fired by Had- dleston, without warning both pigs opened fire on the Brother, Being at the mercy of these beasts, Huddleston stopped and threw his hands into the air, according to sisters who witnessed the whole atrocity, It wus then, when he stopped, that the pigs shot him in the back, The pain of the sudden wound made him start running again, He ran several blocks before the pigs caught up with him and felled him with another shot. Because Donald Wayne Huddieston was a leading athlete at Nashville Car- meron High, where he excelled in all sports, he was in excellent physical con- dition, and the pigs had to actually chase him in order to murder him, With the arrogance of true racists, they be- came angry because of this, and began running through the crowd that had gathered, pushing the people back, and kicking the Brother over with their feet, They grabbed another brother who had been running with Donald Wayne and threw him into the car, But the people roo were getting angry; so these pigs had to call for re-inforcements, es- pecially since the people were starting tro show their anger, treating the pigs like the criminals that they are, Mrs. Barbara Jean Huddleston, the mother of the then-dying youth, arrived on the scene just before the ambulance left with her son, And when she got into it, she asked the pigs why, why had they ghot her son down like a dog, They re- plied by telling the Sister to shut her THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26,1971 PAGES SOUTHERN JUSTICE CHANGES STYLE ‘*god-damned miouth,’’ and that if she wasn't the mother of the ‘‘boy’’, they would arrest her too, According to a Statement by Katherine Rucker made to the police department and to mem- bers of the Black Panther Party in Memphis, Mrs, Huddleston (who works as a nurse in Baptist Hospital) re- peatedly asked the officers why, why they had murdered her son, and was answered with curses, The Huddleston family resides in a public housing complex known as the Edgehill Homes, 1327 12th Avenue South, of 1234 Hillside Avenue and her Aunt, Sister Leola Dowell, of 613 J.C, Napier’s Court, another public housing complex in the same area, were standing infront of 1272 Hillside Avenue that Friday night (June 4th), and they witnessed the murder of Donald Wayne, They know that there was no attempted robbery and that the pigs are lying, The Sisters saw the two officers shoot at Huddleston with a ‘‘riot’’ gun, Not only do the people know that the pigs did not suspect a robbery, the members of the Black Pan- ther Party who went to Nashville to gain - (& ‘ ~e: he Murders of Blacks are not unusual in all of Tennessee The whole neighborhood is made up of housing projects, It is, therefore, a very congested area, Huddleston was killed near Eighth Avenue South and Edgehill Avenue, during an alleged rob- bery of a liquor store, The pigs have stated that they heard shots from a near-by building and saw Huddleston running, They further claim that they heard Huddleston shout, ‘‘Run! It's the police,’’ and that he started firing at them, giving them the impression that the store operator was being robbed, They also stated thar it was only after they called for Huddleston to haltthat they both fired, Needless to say, the people know better, Sister Sandra Holt, facts surrounding the case know what the truth is, The liquor store operator was questioned and said that hedid not report a robbery, nor did an attempted robbery occur at his store; that he, in fact, had had no trouble that night at all, He said that he dida’t Know Why the police would say that) his stere was in danger, Black People imNashyille have called for the suspension of the two patrolmen guilty of the.

The pigs didn’t want this Brother on the streets be- cause he recognized and pointed our some of the forms of genocide that are being practiced upon the people in his community, for example, the high influx of drugs, inadequate education, unemployment, etc, In an attempt to combat these forms of genocide, he was very active in the Drug Abuse Center and was also instrumental in giving guidance and direction to the young Chicanos in the community, Trinidad is actually being charged with being ‘‘a servant of the people’’, the worst crime possible in the eyes of this racist Empire, This ‘‘crime”’ of loving the people carries a penalty of death or life imprisonment, We must show our support for Trinidad Iglesias because he is not guilty of any crime, He is one of innumerable examples of ‘‘legal’’ genocide being practiced on the poor, oppressed masses, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE SOUTHERN JUSTICE CHANGES STYLE CONTINUED FROM LAST PAGE Mayor Brailey stated that if a youth is big enough to pick up a gun, then he’s big enough for his officers to defend themselves against, Mort had the gall to grin and say that he was a ‘‘novice’’ in the business of dealing with pro- fessional policemen, These pigs did, however, order the people who witnessed this murder to take a polygraph (lie detector) test. They have, with this test, decided that Sister Sandra Holt was lying in parts of her statement, The Sister contends that she knows what she saw, and that there is no doubt in her mind that she saw all of the things that are in her statement, The Black Panther Party also notes that these same pigs caused the death of another person that night, the person who called them for help in the first place. Because they didnot answer the call, the pigs caused another Black person to bleed to death, while they were engaged in murdering an innocent youth, This is not, by far, the first time that they have gunned down a youth, Abour two months ago, Nashville police murdered a l4- year old youth, Nothing was done about that or the many other such cases for which the Metro Police have been found guilty by the people, Mrs, Huddleston and the people of Edgehill community say that this is not the end, but the beginning of a People’s struggle, She said that although Donald Wayne is gone, she will fight endlessly to see that other Black Youth are not gunned down at the will of Fascists. To begin this fight, residents of Edgehill Village have called for a Rent Strike, to bring pressure on the Nashville Hous- ing Authority, who along with the Mayor and the many other racists ruling Nash- ville are directly responsible for the particularly deplorable conditions in the Edgehill Community, Deborah Thomp- son, 19, sister of the slain Brother, said that although she lived in San Francisco, California, she will remain in Nashville and help organize thecom- munity, so that the people can gain some control of their community, The Black residents of Nashville have no voice in the City government, Nash- ville has what is called a Consolidated form of government, which they adopted in May of 1962, This form of govern- ment means that there is a joint ‘‘Gov- erning Body’’ to serve its 485,000 resi- dents, This is the same type of cen- tralized fascism that Memphis Mayor Loeb and his dogs are trying to fool the people with in the up-coming June 22nd election, The Black Community in Nash- ville is worse off with it, and the Black Community of Memphis, should it be adopted, will also suffer more than itis presently, As a result of the murder of Huddleston, the Mayor, who the resi- dents of the Black Community refer toas “Drunken Bum’, called for additional money, for the Police Force to “‘curb Crime”, Any. semblance of political power is completely absent in Nash- ville now for the Black Community, But this does not have to be so, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE Memphis Branch Black Panther Party — THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26,1971 PAGE? JAMES SATTERFIELD MURDERED BY For the past two years James Sat- terfield had been President of the Black Student Union at Loop City College, James was also a political activist who had worked diligently and selflessly in clothing aad food drives on the south and westsides of Chicago for the benefit of the Black Community. On Saturday, Mey 29th, James Sar- terfield’s life, which he had given in dedicated service to his people, was ended by a fatal bullet fired by a Black, Chicago Transit Authority bus driver named Everett Johnson, Witnesses who were with James at the time gave a full account of his murder,.. ““‘“We were all on our way to Malcolm X College to attend a meeting,’” said Miss Davene Me Carthy, a close friend of Satterfield, ‘‘James had put our fares into the box and the busdriver would not give us our transfers,"’ “Only me and James and my little sister were standing in the front of the bus."" Miss McCarthy said that Satterfield told the bus driver, ‘‘Don’t mess with my money; give me my transfers,”’ “At this time, the passengers on the bus had started getting nervous,’’ con- tinued Miss McCarthy. ‘‘They had started yelling for the bus driver to let them off the bus, We turned a- round to get off the bus about a half block before our stop; James turned around and called busdriver Everett Johnson an Uncle Tom,” It was then jat Johnson got up from his seat and fired a first shot into the chest of » 21¢s Satterfield, Another shot was fired, missing James, who despite being struck by the first shot, had managed to stagger off the bus and run a half block down the street, still pursued by Johnson who had fired a third shot and missed, James was picked .) from the street by the Chicago police and put into a paddy wagon, He died en route to the hospital. According to Miss McCarthy, John- son said to those who viewed the mur- der, ‘'That’s what's going to happen to anybody that don’t pay on my bus.” Everett Johnson told the police he shot James because he (Satterfield) had pulled a knife on him, The students that were with James said that he had no knife and that he never carried weapons, Thomas Wait, a close friend of Satterfield’s said that, ‘James did in fighting brothers, The not believe same man who shot him --- if he had asked James for money to feed his children James would have gladly given it to him.” (he statemen son, “that’s wh t made by Everett John- at’s going [to happen to r jw anybody that don’t pay on MY BUS, is nothing more than verbal testimony nat reflects his psychological sick- tha acts JAMES SATTERFIELD ness, And to kill a 23 year old Black man over a ten cent transfer is definitely a sickness, Although we know that Everett Johnson should answer to the Black community for his crime, we also understand who really pulled the trigger on the gun which murdered James Satterfield, We will place the ultimate guilt upon the shoulders of a society that has stripped Bitack people of their human dignity, that has endeavored to mis- lead our people into accepting a dis- torted concept of property rights and democracy”, a society that must ul- timatly take the blame for the Everett Johnsons among our people, To further attest to the guilt of this society for the death of Satter- field, the police only charged bus- driver Johnson with the unlawful use of a weapon, and he was released o. bail immediately afterwards; for af- ter all, what does the murder of one Black man by another Black man mean to a society that has lynched and mur- dered Black People by the hundreds of thousands, Members of the Black Panther Par- ty attended the wake of James Satter- field and spoke of his dedication and love for the people. Reverend Charles Koen of the United Front of Cairo, Ulinois also flew in to Chicago from New York to pay his respects to the family of James Satterfield, James Satterfield was a defender of the revolutionary process and he truly struggled for the transformation of this decadent American society. The revolu- tionary ideas and concepts James Satterfield fought so hard for will cer- tainly be made a reality by the masses of oppressed people who carry his banner of liberation, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE ILLINOIS CHAPTER BLACK PANTHES PARTY FREE AMBULANCE SERVICE In January of 1968, the private funeral homes in Winston-Salem, Nortt Carolina, who had sponsored Ambu- lance Services for the community over the years, discontinued their services, and the County government took over, There were many reasons given for the discontinuance of these needed ser- vices, but the major reason for the private companies discontinuing thei private services was the lack of profit involved in nvaintainance, The private funeral homes, in fact, stated that it was becoming more expensive each year to operate an ambulance service, and that equipment requirements were going up, So an agreement was made by all the funeral homes that sponsored am- bulance services to discontinue this service, This was a tragic development for the poor and oppressed people of Winston-Salem, for when the County took over, the charge was raised to $20, each time the service was used, If poor people do not have twenty dollars and the County ambulance at- tendants do not feel thatthe sick person is in enough pain or dying, he cannot be picked up, People are left to get to the hospital the best way they can, Ambulance service should be a basic right for all human beings as part of all the other required medical at- tention should be, It should not be a burdensome expense, The Winston-Salem Branch of the Black Panther Party refuses to accept this absurd action on the part of the local and federal governments, Since there are no real provisions for poor people in Winston-Salem to receive this needed service, we are implementing a People’s Free Ambulance Service to meet that need, We have obtained a functional am- bulance, But this is only half of what is needed to run an adequate, free am- bulance service, An oxygen unit is needed, as well as other special e- quipment,Also, insurance is required for the ambulance; this alone costs over twelve hundred dollars a year, Although members of the Black Panther Party are taking up the necessary First Aid courses to become “‘legally”® - trained ambulance attendants, we need help to get this program started as soon as possible, We arej therefore, jasking all those who are able to\\help\us begin this program, by aiding\in the acquisition of the needed, special equipment and with the gost Of insurance fees, For further infermation or to send donations, contact People’s Free Am- bulance Service, P,Q, Box 2019, Winston-Salem, North Carolina, ALL POWER TO THE PROPLE ee a RN my — 7 a=; THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1971 PAGE 8 WRETCHED CONDITIONS OF ALAMEDA COUNTY ante EXPOSED - . - = * > ~ * =) we Recently, the inmates of the Alameda County (Oakland, California) Jail is- sued requests to Jail officials to be treated as human beings, Most of the men in Alameda County are awaiting trial or sentencing; that is, most of them are not convicted of any ‘‘crime’’, they are waiting to be tried, Yet they, like thousands of Black and poor people in various other city and county jails, are being treated in most cases as though they are convicted, although somewhere American Law says some- thing about a man being considered innocent until proven guilty, Further- more, there are many who have been sitting there for more than a year, simply because they are too poor to pay bail, Huey P, Newton, the Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party, spent over a year there for a fal- lacious charge for which he was not convicted, (He was falsely convicted BLIND PEOPLE STRUGGLE FOR SELF-DETERMINATION Daily, we learn of more segments of this decadent society struggling for thelr basic human rights, for self-—determluation, One group of people which has been severely victimized by this power structure is the blind and otherwise handicapped population of America, Lirtie has been made known of thelr plight; in fact, many people wrongly think that they are rather well-off as recipients of various forms of so-called charity. One of these so-called ‘‘charitable’’ institutions in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) is the Center for the Blind, a¢ SSI8 Lancaster Ave. At the center, blind and sighted workers manufacture 4 variety of things ranging from brooms to rifle covers, However, the sighted workers (which include supervisors) make $1.60 an hour, at least, while the blind must work for as little as $.35, or $.50 or $.85 per hour, This is not to say that $1.60 per hour is a decent wage--it’s only crumbs--but this is similar to the forced division the power structure creates between black and witte workers in this empire, These low wages are even more outrageous when it is taken into consideration that blind people often have larger expenses because of the handicap, For example, as Shirley Walsh, President of the Liberty Alliance of the Blind, told us: “The blind have their clothes cleaned moré often than the sighted, because they cannot really tell when they are dirty, and they have to pay for more services which sighted people are able to do for themselves,” Because institutions such as die Center for the Blind are considered “’shelered workshops: by the goverament, the blind employees are not covered by the Federal Minimum wage law, The So-< sled * "Got will” {industries wilch supposedly help bliad and handi- capped workers ie another Institution which operates for profit instevd of service and also exploits its employees in the same manner Most of these institutions also ployees the right to organize agains labor conditions, After « long seven mont refuse their em t these Alave- struggle, ‘se oe ALAMEDA ‘COUNTY COURT HO - © - >» is Le. > ~ oe weg ow ay of manslaughter, but spent time there to be tried for murder.) And David Hilliard, the Chief of Staff of the Black Panther Party, is there now because the County refuses to hear his appeal until he is sentenced, for which ap- peal he could pay bail and get out, (He too was falsely convicted of as- sault with a deadly weapon, although he originally was charged with that and attempted murder,) Having been completely ignored and denied these simple, basic requests, the Brothers want to inform the masses of People, particularly in the Oakland- Bay Area of California, of the con- ditions under which they are forced to exist, We urge that everyone give full support to these demands: I, We want adequate treatment, We want a medical physician assigned to the County Jail that will serve the needs of the inmates, We want the doctor to the blind workers at the Center won the right to hold an election for the unlon of their choice. Spearheading the struggle was the Liberty Alllance ofthe Blind, Inc., a group of blind people seeking to improve the economic and social well-velag of the blind and the Retail] Clerks Union Local 1387, AFL-CIO, who areto represent them, The Center ugreed to allow the employees to exercise this right on May 12, 1971. The next day, May 13th, a rally was held in front of the Center, to Support the workers In the upcoming election, The fact that so many progressive organizations and individuals participated showed that more and more people are realizing that the struggle is not something Separated into fragmeuts of self-interest groups, but is a common struggle, Some of the progressive persons and organi- zations present were Father Paul Washington, Pastor of the Chureh of the Advocate; Local No. 11990 of the Hospital Workers Union; United Farm Workers: Sanj- tation Workers; Welfare Rights Urganization; the Glack Panther Party; East Powelton Coalition and many others, The @lection is to be held within several weeks according to when the Pennsylvania Board sets the date, time and place.

No one knew to what extent these women were physically and mentally harassed until a lawyer interviewed them. The women, most of whom were Black, have told us that the situation began as a resull of a program developed to control and re- habilitate them, called the ABC Pro- gram, THE UNITY | BETWEEN THE BLACK MAN AND BLACK WOMAN CAN LIBERATE THEM BOTH SPHERE EEE EEE EEE HEHEHE EEE REE EEE eee ere eee eee ee eee eeeene After sentencing, women were as- signed to other buildings and, according to conduct and attitude during pre-trial detention, judged by the arbitrary rule of prison officials and placed into either group A, Bor C: A, for women whose attitudes warranted their being locked in their cell rooms all day because they seemed most unwilling to submit to prison brainwashing; B, for women who, according to these samv officials, still had hope of ‘‘rehabilitation’’, but wo were not ready for the privileges of C group; and C group itself was that group of women who were allowed to stay out of thetr cellrooms all day until lock-up at night, After this divide and control program had been established for about six months, the women, especially those who were in A group, decided that the lime had come to protest such treat- ment, They asked questions as to the purpose and expected results of the program, None of the answers given were accepled, merely because they were all lies, The women then asked to speak to the Deputy Commissioner of Cor- rections, Janet York. She refused to Speak to all of them at once; she told them she would speak to a chosen few (chosen by her), They did not accept this, She told them to return to their cellrooms, When they didn’t comply with this unreasonable order, she called guards and State Police re-in- forcements, who used force to put the eeeeerereee eeeereecsseessesaaias . wind ae * woman back into their cellrooma, Ver shortly after this, a large bus wa backed up to the doorway of fl building, tear gas was sprayed and tht women, blinded and _ choking, driven into the bus, From there were taken to the dungeon (so discipline cells), Thase cells, | normally house one person, 1 holding four.

Section 4500 states that inmates serving life sentences who commit as- sault upon non-inmates must be sentenced to death, even ifthe ‘‘victim’’ does not die, John Clutchette and Fleeta Drumgo were both charged with murder and felonious assault on an officer, One of the most important things to remember about this forthcoming trial is the political implications in the rela- tionships of the Soledad Brothers to Captain Moody of Soledad Prison, and Warden Nelson and Associate Warden Parks of San Quentin, where the three are presently being held, In George Jackson's book, ‘‘Soledad Brother’’, he gives a lucid description of the inter- relationship between the Warden and Captain's office, and the inmate popula- tion: ‘* A frightening, petrifying dif- fusion of violence and intimidation is emitted from the offices of the warden and captain, How else could a small group of men expect to hold and rule another much larger group except through fear? Through the usage of chains, strip cells and maximum se~ curity and murder, penal authori- ties make attempts to silence those in- mates who have become politically moti- vated to transform their conditions,” S The Soledad Brothers are three Black inmates who challenged the whole cor- rupt nature of California’s Penal Insti- tutions, By doing so, they taught other inmates not to fear, but to resist the intimidation of the Captain Moodys, as they attempt to rule Soledad and other penal institutions with fear and violence, This struggle between the Soledad Brothers and the penal authorities, which is representative of the struggle of the oppressed against the oppressor, has now become exposed through the courts, Recently, it became evident that even though the courts give lip service to due process, it was the California Penal Authorities who were calling the shots, Before the hearing started, Warden Nelson and Associate Warden Parks were escorted into the courtroom by armed guards, They promptly took seats next to the prose- cuting attorneys,, There were thirteen visible sheriff’s deputies, along with other unidentified officers in the court- room, The attempt at intimidation and fear was evident, Three guards stood at the entrance, two were stationed in the aisle, while four stood along the partitioned area separating the specta- tor section and the court section, Two guards stood by the defendants and two more by the judge’s bench, This hear- ing was set for the presentation of de- fense motions, Even in a court of law which through the First and Fourteenth Amendments is supposed to guarantee defendants due process and a fair trial, the penal authorities were able to exer- cise unlimited power over the lives of these three comrade brothers, who are innocent of any crime, The motions filed by the defense were, of course, denied by the judge, exposing the collabora- tion between the court and penal institu- tion, The motions called for anevidenciary hearing for all those inmates held in Y wing at Soledad in January of 1970, so as to insure that their forthcoming paroles will not be severed on the fixed dates because they testified for the de- fendants, Potential witnesses have been intimidated and harassed by the unlaw- ful conduct of prison authorities, there- by making it impossible for the defend- ants to getea fair trial, Because of threatened reprisals\by prison authori- ties, many Of these people have become reluctant to testify because they realize that they will not be paroled, and that they will be put into solitary confine- ment - the“holey In the motion filed by the defense it was clearly stated that Penal Code Section 136 makes it a CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE CONTINUED FROM LAST PAGE ON THE SOLEDAD misdemeanor to “willfully and unlaw- fully prevent or dissuade by means of force or threats of unlawful injury any- one who is or may become a witness from testifying at a trial.’’ And, penal codes 136.5 and 137 make it a felony for anyone if he ‘‘gives or offers or promises to give a witness any bribe for the purpose of dissuading the latter for testifying, By exercising its equi- table powers and ordering the requested hearing, this court can, in effect, enjoin any possibility of the existence of such intimidation,’’ The prosecution, withon the scene advice front Warden Nelson and Assistant Warden Parks reminded the court that it would not relinquish control over its captives, the potentia! witnesses, because the California Adult Authority (Parole Board) has certified powers to exercise, even if it means violating the Constitutional rights of the defendants, The second motion challenged the Pe- nal Authorities arbitrary denial of an adequate number of investigators for the defense to interrogate all prospective | THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1971 BROTHERS’ PRE —TRIAL HEARING - Es » “ ? as PT eh Jae : ‘ witnesses who are presently inmates in BAY any of the California Prisons, Te State has allowed the defense only 2 investi-’ gators per defendant, Because there are over 200 wimesses, plus those inmates who were housed in Y wing in January, 1970, and who have since been hidden in various other penal institutions throughout California, it has been im- possible for the investigators to ade- quately prepare for trial, Two investi- gators per defendant cannot possibly interview all of the witnesses, in par- ticular those inmates who hav2 been placed in other institutions, Investiga- tors are essential because of their con- tacts with potential witnesses and the defendants, Tiey compile necessary in- formation for the defense . The defense counsels asked for an additional 15 in- vestigators per defendant. The judge made a token gesture and granted 2 more per defendant, bringiag “12 total toonly 4 per defendant, The other defense motions further ex- posed the attempts of the Penal Authori- ties to dominate the lives of the defend- ants, As the prosecutor swung between his table and that of Warden Nelson and Assistant Warden Parks, it became in- creasingly obvious that the Penal Au- thorities will have a lot to say aboutthe outcome of this trial, Warden Nelson let it be known thar the defendants and their counsel would not be able to exer- cise free and effective communication between the attorney and his prisoner- client, as stipulated by law, Private con- ultation which includes correspondence between defendant and counsel was ruled out by the prosecu~ tion’s argument of necessity of a thorough se »echand examination of pos- sible contraband, The motion to allow counsel and defendants confidential communication without mail being > La uncensored / opened by prison officials was denied, Te judge did finally grant the defendants the right to be present when their mail is being opened by prison officials, This of course is yet to be carried out, And, ir is almost virtually impossible for the defendants and their counsel to plan Strategies for their trial without it be- ing known by the ever-present guards, The last motion made by the defense was to acquire for the defendants the personal files and pre-trial deposizion of Captain Charles Moody, head of the storm troopers of Soledad Prison, Charles Moody has been preparing the case against the Soledad Brothers, just as he prepared the case against the Soledad Seven, He is the major prison authority responsible for harassing, in- timidating, and threatening inmates who might otherwise testify for the defense, His methods of intimidation vary from denial of parole to exposure of inmates to the horrors of the strip cell, During the case of the Soledad Seven ( Phillips vs. the Penal Avthorities), after cross examination of a prosecution witness, it was exposed that Captain Moody had threatened the witness with a gun, The following is a portion of the transcript from the trial of Jesse Phillips of the Soledad Seven: QO, Did Captain Moody threaten you?

Based on the foregoing, the personal file and depostion of Captain Moody is essential for the adequate preparation of the defense, Because of Captain Moody's intimate involvement in the affairs at Soledad Prison, because of his intimate involvement in this case, and because of his intimidation of prospective inmate witnesses, a motion of discovery was necessary for the preparation of the de- fense, This motion was also denied, It is evident that the State plans to murder these three Black brothers, The prisons andcourts will use every method at their disposal to imprison forever or kill Black people, especially such brothers who speak out against the in- justices of this society, The Black com- munity must use every means atits dis- posal to free these brothers, Fill the courtrooms and the streets with support, But we must remember one thing, only the people caa/free, palitical prisoners, And some of the people must be on the jury, ONLY THE PEQGPEBOAN FREE POLI- riCAL PRISONERS!

Vacaville is run by doctors and medi- cal personnel, Unlike the structure in the other institutions in the California penal system, the final authority there is in the hands of a so-called physician, Dr, Lester J. Pope, Like Dr. Mengele, the Nazi ‘‘doctor’”’ who instituted and coordinated all those ‘‘scientific ex- periments’”’ for Hitler upon innocent victims, Pope and his cohorts are using the field of medicine to kill and maim, Pope instructs his staff to inject in- mates with lethal doses of drugs, which seriously affect the brain and body functions of Vacaville’s prisoners. Drugs like palixium, thorozine, mil- laril, compazine, artine, mephobam- ‘ate, peppinal and vallium are adminis- tered to individual inmates in doses of as much as 450 mg daily. All of these drugs fall under the sedative-hypnotic or the depressant category, meaning that these drugs produce a state of drowsiness and listlessness, as well as carrying dangerous side effects to the heart, respiratory system, body tissues and general body metabolism, Under the guise of a medical facility, Vacaville has been responsible for the deaths and near-deaths of an untold number of inmates. Worse than the brutal beatings, these drugs and lethal chemicals can and do permanently impair and damage the minds and bodies of its prisoners, and are ad- ministered in an attempt to destroy the revolutionary potential or the will ih 7.’ A’ 2’ A to resist in any of the brothers who have been courageous enough to speak out against the injustices in this society, Mest men are shipped to Va- caville because they are considered ‘discipline problems’’ at other penal institutions, A board of officials at these other prisons, none of whom have any medical training or skill whatsoever, classifies these inmates as psychotics, psy¢copaths, schizo- phrenics, etc,, and recommends trans- fer to Vacaville for ‘‘observation and therapy’’. Even though these pigs have no medical degrees or licenses, they have the authority to send an inmate to Vacaville for periods of up to two years for this observation and therapy, As a rule, only Black and other non- white prisoners are singled out for this type of treatment, Because such drugs as thorozine and palixium are given in large, con- tinued dosages, the prisoners often become extremely depressed, These extreme depressed states are often followed by violent responses and ner- yous reactions from the prisoner, As a result, many brothers are charged with violent and disruptive activity, which was, of course, induced by the very medication he was given by the prison, In this case, he would then be takem to a Disciplinary Board Hearing, Wormalt? charged and sent back to the prison from which he was transferred, to serve additional time (in addition to what time he would have served originally) for the Vacaville- incurred charge, Time spent at Vacaville for these ‘*medical observations and treat- ments’’ does not count in the overall time served by an inmate in prison, For example, there is documented evi- dence of an inmate who was arrested in 1963 for parole violation and was immediately shipped to Vacaville, He has remained there since thar time, None of this time is applicable to his record, So that in fact, according to mot = SS ae lA prison records, he has yet to begin finishing his time in prison for vio- lation of parole. And, of course, he too has been a victim of Vacaville’s diabolical plan of genocide, He has been given drugs continuously, And, in an effort to establish in him total de- pendency on the drugs, the medical personnel at Vacaville haveissued him a card for medication at any time that he thinks necessary, In other words, he doesn’t even need a prescription, Many inmates have been issued such cards in hopes that they will become so dependent upon the drugs, that they will be incapable of functioning or thinking about anything else, When this dependency is established, the in- mate is released, Since he has become addicted to these drugs, he will na- turally attempt to obtain them after his release, even if it would necessitate his committing an ‘‘illegal’’ act to do so, Often these inmates are soon re- arrested for so-called crimes in con- nection with obtaining drugs for a habit that prison officials have created, Additionally, when the California Adult Authority, the Parole Board, releases a Vacaville inmate, the in- mate is usually required as acondition of parole to make weekly visits to Vacaville’s out-patient clinic to con- — tinue to receive his ‘‘medication’’, If he does not report or refuses to submit to the injections, a warrant is issued for his arrest, because he has violated the conditions of his parole, There is further evidence that in- mates incarcerated in Vacaville who refuse medication are brutally beaten and forced to submit to take the drug injections, This is done by MTA’s (non-medical personnel, sometimes even other inmates, who ‘‘assist’’ Vacaville’s medical staff and who actually administer the injections), Medication is usually increased when an inmate demonstrates any such re- sistance to taking the injections, And, an inmates dosage can be increased if he does not show the “‘proper’’ re- sponse to the drugs, The State of California is so pleased with the work of Dr, Pope and Vacaville’s staff in carrying out this program, that it plans to expand Vacavilleg) Dhat Mis, the Department of Corgeetions, plansico eliminate every other individual djustment center or hole th all other Walifornia facilities, so that thyjates from every other in- stitution Gn the }State who cause ‘trouble’ "WHP'’ go immediately and only to Vacaville, Right now each prison has its own adjustment center, where CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1971 PAGE 15 SAN QUENTIN BRANCH OF THE PARTY DEMANDS THE IMMEDIATE FREEDOM OF ROMAINE “CHIP” FITZGERALD The State of California's chamber if _—_—_—_—__ ES j.s0)| 9:2: horrors, San Quentin, is once more plotting to take the lives of the poor and oppressed, A recent Supreme Court decision has upheld the death penalty in the United States. This decision means the literal reopening of the gas chamber for California's ninety- nine prisoners on death row, twenty- four of whom have exhausted all legal means of appeal of their convictions and sentences, In thesetwenty-four cases, the inmate is subject to execution at any time, merely at the whim of the state. The supreme fascists’ decision was in response to a suit (filed by death row inmates in California and Ohio), which questioned the constitu- tionality of the death penalty on two points: 1) Should the same jury which convicts a person, be allowed to sen- tence him as well; 2) Shouldn’t there be clearer standards set for senten- cing, basing those standards on the actual nature of the ‘‘crime’’, The legal arguments were denied and a jury of non-peers still has the so-called right to judge a person innocent or guilty, and then, to say whether or not he may live or die, The California fascists tried to send our Minister of Defense, Huey P, New- ton to the gas chamber, Why? Be- cause he wants freedom and liberation for the people, The voice of the people was heard and he was freed, Chairman Bobby Seale and Comrade Ericka Huggins were unjustly incarcerated for two years, as the Connecticut fascists attempted to send them to the electric chair for serving the people. Again, the voice of the people was heard, and they have been returned to minimum, their political frame-up charges having been dismissed, \ We know who the real criminals are, We know who is guilty, We are very much aware of who should be in this torture chamber, It is those racists and fascists who have been oppressing Black and other poor people for over four hundred years, Yet they persecute us, attempt to murder us, because of our political beliefs. And now, they have Romaine Fitz- gerald, another of the people’s servants on San Quentin's death row, because of his political beliefs, because of his concern and love for the people, Each day as we walk the yard here at San Quentin, we think of Comrade Chip up there on the row, Chip is subject to some of the most inhumane and repre- sive treatment known to man, He is a BLACK PANTHER from the rest of the prison population; confined to his cell twenty- four hours a day, He leaves his cell only when he has a visit from his fa- mily or attorney, When he leaves the row for these visits, he is ‘‘escorted’’ by two to three guards and the yard is cleared of all inmates whenever possible, When this is not possible,we are all pushed to one side of the yard and they (the pigs) call out, ‘‘deadman, deadman coming”’’, as he approaches, And, his fellow inmates are threatend with dis- ciplinary action if they even attempt to talk to him, When he walks by, however, you can feel his strength and dedication to the people, He says that he knows the people will set him free, The state intends to take his life, but we are not going to sit back idly and watch this happen, We must and we will continue to intensify the cry and fight for Romaine ‘Chip’ Fitzgerald's freedom and the freedom of all political prisoners, Our struggle here at San Quentin is to destroy this chamber of horrors or die in our attempt, For we know that what the fascists are trying to do to Chip, they would do to any of us, We, the Black Panther Party, San Quentin Branch, take this opportunity to let the world know that we will nor tolerate this attempt on the life of Comrade Chip by these fascists, He must be set free or the walls of San Quentin will come down, FREE ROMAINE *‘CHIP”’ FITZGERALD FREE THE PEOPLE SAN QUENTIN BRANCH BLACK PANTHER PARTY VACAVILLE - AMERICA’S HEADQUARTERS FOR MEDICAL GENOCIDE such sophisticated methods are not employed, This means, for example, that a Folsom inmate who is to re- ceive discipline will not go to the solitary confinement area of Folsom, but will be sent for ‘‘help’’ to Va- caville, borat Vacaville is a main center in which America’s real use for modern medi= cine can be seen, Vacaville's doctors are plotting and carrying out such plans and policies daily in order to either create robots or kill and destroy the minds and bodies of prisoners through the use of lethal drugs and chemicals, The theory Dr, Pope and his cohorts - Dr, Isaac Slaughter, Senior Psychiatrist; Dr, R.E, Prout, Chief Medical Officer; or Dr. Arthur Nugent, Chief Psychiatrist, to name a few - support is that injection of such dangerous drugs into inmates who to them represent a potential threat is that not only will this measure leave little room for outside interference (unlike the obviousness of out-right beatings and stabbings), but will con- trol and lock-up a man's mind as well CONTINUED FROM LAST PAGE as his body, And, Pope feels that if control of a man is not obtained in one way, these drugs will destroy a man’s mind completely or kill him, We must pot let this, happen, We must shortstop this planiof genocide upon our People, Mnterasted doctors, lawyers and other people Should flood all such ‘“fa¢ilities’ as Vacaville with visits, We @re the only link to the outside, In order to insure our survival, as well as theirs, we must expose these fascists at every turn, AlLL.

A special library on Tanzania has been developed, which includes current ma- gazines, newspapers, books, and de- tailed maps of roads, railroads, dams, electrical and water supplies, All of this is merely being recently exposed, for the U.S. government has long been at- tempting to infiltrate and destroy Tan- zania, Boston's 357th Division of the racist U.S. Army Reserve has been training to supposedly administer the govern- ment of the Black People of Tanzania, MIT Professor Mac Masters was also Yicer once in this same reserve coltyeeloinat reservists in the 357th unit MINISTRY OF INFORMATION.
