cated to the celebration of his birthday.

to honor Huey for his great political
work, and his undying love and service
to the people.
Huey Newton is incarcerated at Cali-
fornia Men's Colony near San Luis Obispo.
The occasion will not be a joyous one,
because the brother is not physically free
to join us. This is atime of‘*Revolutionary

is needed to free Huey, and to Free ail
Political Prisoners. At this birthday cele-
bration, emphasis will be on the pro-
posed Prisoner of War exchange for
American Gi's in Viet Nam for Bobby
Seale, Chairman of the Black Panther
Party, and Huey P, Newton.

lieve your support and participation will

Mat We Believe .\ ic cun aed
5. We want edecation for our people that exposes the (ruc mature of this
decadent American society, We want education that teaches us our true
histery and our role in the present-day society
We believe in an educational system that will give to our people a know!
edge of self, If a man does not have Knowledge of himself and his position
n society and the world, then he has little chance to relate to anything
wl
6. We want all black men to be exempt from military service
We belleve that Black people should not be forced to fight in the mill
tary 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 viclimued by the white racist government of Ameria
We will ¢ ves from the force and violence of the racist police
and the military, by whatever means necessary

7. We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER

ganizing black self-defense groe 1 to defending our
black community from racist police oppression a rutality. The Second
Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a righ to bear

and elty prisons and jails.
We believe that all otack people should be released from the many

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
so that black people will receive fair trials. The 4th Amendment of the
§ Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer
is a person from a similar economic, sc ial. religious, geographical. et
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 man” of the black
community
10. We want land, bread, housing, education. clothing, justice and peace
And as our major political objective, a United Nathonssupervised plebis
