We believe that if the white American businessmen will not give full employment, then the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that people of the community can organize and em ploy all of its people and give a high standard of living 3.

We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a know!- edge of Ifa man does not have knowledge of himself and his position in society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything else 6& We want all black men to be exempt from military service.

We will not fight and kill other pec of color in the world who, like black people, are being victir ¢ racist government of America, We will protect ourse! ¢ and violence of the racist police and the racist military, by whatever means necessary 7. We want an immediate cad to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black people. We believe we can end police brutality in our bl community by or- ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from rackst police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for selflefense 8. We want freedom for all black mem held im federal, state, county and city prisons amd jails. We belie jails and pris t all black people should be released from the many 18 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 believe that the courts should follow the United States Constitution $0 that black people will receive fair trials. The 4th Amendment of the U.S, Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a person from a similar economic, social, religtous, geographical, en- vironmental, historical and ractal 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 man” of the black community 10. We want land, bread, housing, edueathon, clothing, justice and peace. And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised plebis- cite to be held throughout the vlack coleny 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.

ENROLLMENT IN THE SCHOOLS FOR OUR PEOPLE We believe that the city and federal government is responsible and obligated to give every mam a decent edocation. 3. WE WANT AN END TO THE ROBBERY BY THE WHITE MAN OF OUR BLACK COMMUNITY We believe that this racist government bas robbed es of an edecation We betiewe that thés racist capitalist government has robbed the Black Community of ite money by forcing es to pay higher taxes for lew quality. WE WANT DECENT EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES, FIT FOR THE F STUDENTS. Us We betiewe that if these busineamen will mot give decent facilities to oer community schools, then the schools and their facilities should be taken oot of the hands of these few individes! racists and placed into the hands of the community, with goremment aid, so the comenemty can develop a decent and suitable educational eyutem §.

WR WANT ALL RACIST TEACHERS TO BE EXCLUDED AND RESTRICTED FROM ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS We believe that if the teacher in a schoo! is acting in racist fadbion then that teacher is not interested in the welfare of development of the stadents but only in their destruction, 7. WE WANT AN IMMEDIATE END TO POLICE BRUTALITY AND MURDER OF BLACK PROPLE. WE WANT ALL POLICE AND SPECIAL AGENTS TO BE EXCLUDED AND RESTRICTED FROM SCHOOL PREMISES. We believe that there should be an end to harasment by the police department of Black people. We believe that if all of the police were pulled out of the schools, the schools would become more functional DOES IT AGAIN Kathleen Cleaver assists Mills students in getting demands, See story next issue, 5 WE WANT ALL STUDENTS THAT HAVE BEEN EXEMPT, EXPELLED, OR SUSPENDED FROM SCHOOL TO BE REINSTATED, We believe all students showld be reinstated because they haven't received fair and impartial judgment or have beem put out because of incidents of Situations that have occured cutude of the schools authority 3. WE WANT ALL STUDENTS WHEN BROUGHT TO TRIAL TO BE TRIED IN STUDENT COURT BY A JURY OF THEIR PEER GROUP OR STUDENTS OF THEIR SCHOOL. We believe that the student courts should follow the Ueited States Corntitetion so that stadents can receive a fair trial. The 14th Amendmeet of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by a ery of his peer freap. A peer is a person from a similar economical, social, religious, feographecal, environmental, historical and racial background. To do this the court would be forced to select a jery of stedents from the community trees which the defendent came. We have been and are being tried by 2 white Principal, vice-principal, and while students that have no understanding of the “average reasoning man™ of the Blsek Community. 19. WE WANT POWER, ENROLLMENT, EQUIPMENT, EDUCATION, TEACHERS, JUSTICE, AND PEACE. As our major political objective, an amembly for the stedent body. in which only the studemis will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of determining the will of the students as to the schoot's destiny We hold these truths as being self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by thew creator with certain inadbenable rights, that among ther are life, liberty and the purwit of happiness. To secure thew rights within the schools, governments are ieatituted among the students, deriving their just powers froem the consent of the governed, that whenever any form of student government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the students to alter of abolish lt and to institute new government laying its fowndation on sech principles and organizing its power in wach form a ta them shall seem most likely to effect thee safety and happiness 2 KEAEEERLE EEE ARERR ERE 3 Prudence, indeed, will dictate that povernments long evtablished should aot be changed for laght and tranwent cawues, and accordingly all experieeces have shown, that mankind are more liable to waffer, while evils are afferabie, than to right themselves by aboluhing Ube owns to which they are accustomed But when a long train of abuses and force, purseng invanably the same object, reveals a design to reduce them Lo abuolute dewtruction, it is ther right, His their duty, to Usrow off wach a goverment and to provide new geards for their future security aS #8 8. eee

To answer that qeestion, one must examine the Adult ity. This board has the right to arbitrarily revoke or suspend parole on any individual.

This is bow it works “A is s@rved with violation charges, is interviewed, is given a Adult Authority itself, the charging party) at which the parole violation charges, and by an op at the ‘bearing’ a parolee is denied the night to coumsel, may not ‘e feralnn facepeedent and Empertil officer to conduct the hearing and sabe FP decision.” (Petition for Hearing in the Supreme Court, p: 17) Not only does the Adult Authority hold secret hearings, bat it also refuses to notify persons usder its jurisdiction of ite res, of of its variable definitions of what constitutes a violation.
