EARLY WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 24, 1970 A MAN BY THE NAME OF ARTHUR DAVIS, STOOD UP TO THE ENTIRE WORLD, a Aree THAT HE BE SPOKEN TO, AS a MAN Mrs, Valierre Davis holds Maurice: three,whom she put in a closet when pig bullets ripped into the Davis’ homo, The monumental issue involved here is Self-Defense, The exercise of the 2nd Amendment to the now-defunct United States Constitution, is the issue involved here, The question which must have burned in the mind of Arthur Davis as he held off invading marauders disguised as policemen, would not be too hard to imagine, ‘“‘What do I do? Stand here, and be shot, or shoot back? By picking up a gun, to bring silence to the guns which now bark, and search for the flesh of my wife, and my children,’’ Early Wednesday morning, June 24th, 1970, a man by the name of Arthur Davis, and demanded that he be spoken to, as a man, The White racist occupying army, while observing the sleeping colony, saw the Davis’ pull up to their 33rd St, home, and they decided to have a little fun with a nigger. The pig approached Brother Davis, and told him that he had run a red light, Bro- ther Davis dug that this was just ha- rassment, but he refused to be the burt of it, and in his innocence, he corrected the officer, and said that he didn’t run it, The officer fumed over this lowly, subhuman nigger, calling him a liar, and let a few racial siurs slip out of his slimy snout, which ended up in a hospital, The brother off into his pad, saying, ‘‘Man, put that gun away,’’ when the pig of in- justice pulled out his gun, while bro- ther Davis entered his house, A hail of bullets followed him, with Davis getting hit in the arm. At this point, all hell broke loose, the door was Kicked In three murderous pigs charged upstairs, and all three came tumbling back down when they met face to face with shotgun plellets, mastered by Ar- thur Davis, who demanded to be spoken to, LIKE A MAN, stood up to the entire world, walked THESE LITTLE PIGS _ WENT TO THE GHETTO.

Martin Kline of 143 Taylor Street of Brooklyn, hit Cynthia at the Intersection of Roas St,, and Bed- ford Aveme, at he sped through the streets. Kline crunhed Cyn- thia’s head in the wheels of his 2 1/2 ton crock, killing her In- stantly. Martin Kline was chased and caught by some community bloods and held for the pigs who arrived shortly thereafter, This Incident became the spark to ig- nite the smoldering fires of Ziun- farm, racism and pig brutality ab- gorbed for so long by the Blick community in this ares, Williamsburg is an area where Blacks, Puerto Ricans and jews Uve, Blacks in Williamsburg, live in reality, surrounded by Jews, ‘There are concentrated pockets of Black people and larger arcas of Jews, There are similar concen- trations of Perto Hicans. Need- leas to say the whole economy, politics and life of Williamsburg is controlled by the reactionary Zton- int element, So, the fuelfor violent confrontation has and ecill existe it was Cynthia's cold blooded kill- ing tat brought Mt to the sur- face, causing the cancerous wound of oppression to burst forth.

The peoples mood was understandable, But lt wasthe added insult of roving Zionist bands with sticks and bottles carried openly, attacking young Blacks and “erto Ricans that foreed the peo- ple of the Black community and the Puerto Hican community to respond in righteous anger and indignation, The cowardly Zionists within the Jewish community directed their political machinery to unleash the pig police upon the people of the Black and Puerto Rican commi- nities and contain them. Openly pigs observed the numerous beat- ims and assaults of Black chil- dren, Openly the Jewish Defense Loague carried guns and led hordes of Zionists an forays and raids up and down the srreets of the filock community, 4nd when these craven Punks were confronted with the superior power of the Black and Puerto Rican communities they would imrnediately call the plgs to assist them in thelr wanton aitacns, The next evening, « brother was shot in the head, apparently by a high powered rifle, Iie was found Thursday morning in the hallway of «a jewish building.

Yet, not too jong ago the fascist troops tried to get an injunction against our Mterature, due to whut the pige termed the untimely death and serious wound- ing of two of thelr police officers, Bur the people call them pig ob- Structors of justice, and say death to the pigs who are up to thelr pig trickery. The fools wanted to blame this righteous act on what they called inflammatory Panther literature, when all tt really was, were beautiful people dealing justly with the problem, The fas- cist murderers attempted to put fear into the hearts of the people so they would not support us and would not accept our literature, Hut this plan falled, The Bal- titiore city colither decided this action to be unconstitutional, We must edicate the people to revolu- tion and we must teach them the correct handling of a revolution. One of the fiest stepa in revolu- Hon is to educate the people, part of this education comes from our Iiteramure and leaflets, Then tirough observation andon to par- ticipation, The enforcers of injustice would try to stop us in what they con- nider its carly phases. Gut it is too late; too late to stifle the cries of revolution. The power Structure can never stifle this glo~ rious cry, they can only bring the people closer t our cause, by raising the consclousness of the people with thelr fascist op- pression; thus bringing closer thelr own day of doom. This conjunction, this blatant at- tempt to deny us our constitu- tonal rights has raised even more the political consciousness of the people and revealed even more the lengthe to which a reactionry would go to stifle righteous revo- lution, It shows the flunky pig as ho ts. It shows he'd «top at nothing, even the denial of a right quuranteed by the constirution, He'd do all this and more to as- alist in protecting the ruling class — who are the rea] criminals in Society, Make no mistake of tils, they are thieves, murderers, and embezzlers of the people who go thus far unpunished, They are backed by storm troopers, enfor- cers of fasciam and experts at torture and intimidation.

POWER J) Til THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JULY 11, 1970 PAC THE CONSTITUTION TALKS ABOUT EQUALITY ON PAPER LIKE. IT’S GOING OUT OF STYLE The political consciousness of Blscks in this country hap al- ready risen to the point where they can see beyond the pigs on the street. The Hes of the poll- tictan have been exposed, partly because this government has been 80 openly viclous and inhuman and now they can see and understand to certaln degrees the mort hi- deous, wicked monstrosity ever to be on the face of this earth, the US, ruling class, or simply the big-time greedy businessman, who works hand In hand with the super-fascists, the U.S, military. Now they have co understand the document that gives these punkish maniacs their power, the U.S, Con- Stitution, When Slack and other oppressed people understand why they are really voting, if they are able to vote, to stay poor, or to tend their youth off to fight peo- ple who are their allies, then they would look upon this *'sacred" document the same way they look at a roll of toilet: paper, If al} of .America: were under this Con- stitution the enly people who would accept tt would be the people who are defined as pige, Ts constitution talks about equality like it’s going out of style on paper, but in reality it keeps the rich, rich, and makes the poor Stay poor, One reason is the only people whe were rich were allowed 40 xmtend the Constitutional Con- vention in 1787. These were the big-time businesamen af chat time. Black people were totally andcom- pletely ignored because then, we were regarded as property and also because slave-owners were smong the writers of this Con- stitution, After the Civil War, Black people were supposedly given their freedom by the Lith, 14th, and 15th amendments, But tt is very strange that after these amendments were passed Jim Crow and the KKK were running amuck, The Constitution means the Barme to Black people in 19770 as Mt did before civil rights, as it case, that is; ‘'s nigger has o rights s White man is bound to respect,"’ Then during the civil rights struggle they passed laws that were supposed to let us sit next to White people ar counters, but won't guarantee us our basic human right--land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, and peace, So Black people, oppressed peo= ple, and people who have managed to keep their humanity in this fas- cist state, must tell the piga to keep their constitution and later for them, and start thinking about & constitution thar will return America from the nightmare that it's in, And Bleck people must be sure that we get what's been due to us for 400 years or just say later for America. But this peo- ple's constitution must be made into a reality, The pigs are doomed to be crushed, but not on paper or by rhetoric, but with the same tool the pigs use to make us live under their constitution, the gun, The yun along with the people's spirit will ma) e downfall of all pigs itn America and the world & reality. ‘IN ONDER TO GET RID OF THE GUN, JT 1S NECESSARY TO PICK UP THE GUN" ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Boston Chapter Mike Ellis LEGAL RIP-OFF ARTISTS On the morning of the nine- teerth of June, | awoke to find my car stolen.

ES A ee THE BLACK PANTHER, SATURDAY, JULY |}, 1970 PAGE 14 IT 1S TIME FOR ALL PROGRESSIVE FORCES TO UNITE BEHIND THE REVOLUTIONARY PEOPLE'S CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION Brothers and Sisters: ie is now necessary for aliparts of the Black community to come together to examine a single course of action, And thin means not only the masses People on the streets of racist America but also groups and organizations of many sorts al) across America, Our part if clear; we can agree on that, Black people have been the victims of some of the most vicious oppression, trutality and open genocide ever seen on the face of the earth, The Black peo- ple left today have been through Rarvation, lynchingn, slavery in chains, and mase murder in their attempts to survive from day to Gay during the past 400 years, tt can be seen in our bames, In our nelghbortoods, in the eyes af our children, that the conditions of violence, brutality, and mur- der have hardly changed inthe last 100 or even 200 years Bobby Seale is the most public example of this fact: That the black man has m tights that the White than in bound to respect. And this goes for all of us--not just the junkies, fot just the welfare mothers, not just the Black Panthers, hot just the sharecroppers, but ALL al us, Many people fiave tried to lib- erate Black people, but two ele- ments heave been missing fram most of these attempts; (1) The correct strategy based on the source of power, the source of oppression; and @) A unity of ac- tion among Black people to put the fundamental changes called for into practice, What is necessary now Is for us © Start our course of ac- tlon—-together, Niggers have sel- dom acted with a unity of spirit and action from one end of ra- cist Babylon to the other. Yee ir is necessary for us to act with great unity In order to survive the increasing racism and fas- cistn which Is sweeping the White areas of Babylon, The Black Pan- ther Party lias formulated a pro- gram in which, all the masses and the groups and organtzationa of Black people can participate, We are calling for a Revolution- ary People’s Constirutional Con- vention in order to ce-write the Constitution of racist and fascist: Habylon to include Black people and to implement our full free- dom and Liberation. There are no alternatives for mass Progressive aod revolution- ary action. Those counter-tn Surgency programs, poverty pro- grame--gaines are run Black people while the oppressor gains more time to figure out Kis plan for the final genocide of Glach people; these trick bags are Crying up, The pigs realize that Black people see what these pro- Brame are supposed to do, Mean- while Pig Hearted Nixon and Adolph Agnew are mobilizing the Amer- ican people to accept the Idea that elections cannot be held in 1972, This is fascism at work, no mat- ter what solution we think of. To combat this move, we must rally all Black people to understand and support the Revolutionary People's Constitutional Convention--this ts our last attempt inside of fascist Babylon to peacefully gain our rights, Uf this fails, if the watch- dogs of Babylon get their lackeys to Stop ple’s Constitutional Convention {rom implementing the wistes of the vast masses of Black people-- we must and will, deliver a polit- ical consequence tc the source of this and aj) other craltcrous acts against our people.

POWER TO THE PEOPLE HLACK PANTHER PARTY Connecticut State Chapter Cappy Pinderhughes SAN FERNANDO STATE COLLEGE DENOUNCES THE MURDER OE OF JERRY LEE AMIE Dear Mr. Younger: The students of San Fernando Valley State College have spent the last two years in concious attempt te attack the problems of racism and repression in our own comin- unity on campus, Throughout this developing understanding of events on our own campus, we have be- come painfully aware that campus problems are rooted in the same problem# as they exist In the campus community, As we have moved the campus to combsar the rising use of raciam, esplonage and milirary force to oppode people struggling for their rightful place in this society, we find we must also assume @ role coersion in our surrounding com- tumity, Recent events in Los Angecles have witnessed an increaring use of police woepons to submit ''Ul- timate justice’ without trial, judge, or jury especially in the Black and Chicano Communities The Jerry Lee Amle Killing | the latest example. While Valley * State students are prosecuted and given the maxima 21x months in prison for atrending arally in our campun “free Speech” area, the nen who billed sentence of Jerry Lee Amie are not ever questioned because they wear 4 badge. Even the police used the term ‘unfortunate mistake” to describe their actions on June 20 of this year, The District Aror- ney’s office hardly seems to fto- jerant of Charlie Manson's “onfortunate mistake’’ .When you have the power to determine who is to be prosecuted, the abuse of this power is sure to lead to the destruction of the system you attempt to defend, Jerry Lee Amie was everything that the establishment asks of the Black man in this country, He was 4 Vietnam Veteran, wounded twice with intentions to ce entiat in the Army. Hin family was respected in the community and he from 4 strongly religious buck- fround, but he mace one mistake came tn the eyes of the police; he was Black, When the state executeteven those people that fit ite definition of » solid citizen, then it has m rigit to expect thore who oppose that eyetem to conform. ideration of the fects cape and perzon- fter cie cor avallabie in this al conversation with many people we feel that the District s office with the tmerest trvolvedt \tturney of the citizens, Black Brown, and White, rich and poor, should im- medistely launch « full scale in- vestigation of this killing and con- sider the filing of criminal charges against the killers to do any less to }eopardize and desert the well being and safety of all of the citizens of Los Angeles, Sincerely Yours, Edward Nunez, President Associated Students Phil Melnick, Vice President Associated Scudents This letter was endorsed by the AS.

Artillery sholls were Still falling along the stoned road, tut only sporadically. A blown- up tank lay half submerged In a flooded ricefield, near the road where bits of its tracks were scar- tered, In the underground oper ating- room, 4 relaxed atmosphere pre- valled. The last wounded Libera- thon soldier had been operated on and had been carried away, The Surgeon took off hie mask, drew a long breath of air and sat down on @ bench at the entrance to the cave. The nurse alno took off her white gown and fanned herself, In 4 corner, the power -louse opera tor”, perched on a bicycle frame with the rear wheel connected to an electric generator, stopped pedalling and lighted « cigarette, For three days and three nights, they had worked bard to save the lives of 4 dozen Liberation sol- diers who tad been wounded while taking part in an anmibush which had resolted in the total annihila- than of an American armoured con- voy. Surgeon, nurse and ‘'power- hovee operator” had nothad a wink of sleep, Only through a miracle of will and resolve had they man- aged to keep their cyes open. The turgeon’s legs seemed to him as heavy a3 if rade of fend, Git now they could relax, The Surgeon stood up after a while, Stretched himself and said ina voice with the characteristic accent of the central provinces: “Well, jot's put things in order and take some rest, There may be more work tomorrow,”’ it was then that someone stepped in. He was the director of the hos- pital and his face showed that he had some important pews to tell. More wounded comrades to take care of? The surgeon hastily put on his cap and the nurse reached for her gown, ‘‘Comrades,"” said the director, ‘‘the leading commit- tee knows thar you have worked very hard for several days and nights, However we shall ask you to spend one more sleepless night..." The surgeon glanced at his col- laborators, who all looked ex- hausted but whose eyes shone with determination and eagerness, "Al right, comrade director," he sald slowly, “I must say that we ere all very tired, Gut even if we should work several more nights to save the lives of wounded comrades, we would gladly doso,"" **For the sake of our dear com- rades,’* added the nurse, ‘we are always ready,"* The honpitul director Jooked em- barrassed. “*The wounded man is not one of Gur comrades," he said heal- tatingly. “He ts an American.” “An American?’ the exclaimed in surprise, The director nodkded. ‘Yer, an American soldier, woimded tn the head, We liave been anbed to do everything in our power to save him,"* N Jong. silence fell. Bach man retired pensively to 4 corner, The “nower-houte man’* again saddled his bike, puffing away af lis cig- aretie, The surgeon took off tis cap and crumpled tt in hie bend The hurte totted her gown oo a table and Bat down on « bench, ber face drawn, The air tuened stifl- fog, f Seemed, in the underground operating roor, The horpiral director birhin lips and looked at three people in turn, THM reaction was what te fad expected when the matter was dis- cusped at the nweting of ihe jead- fig Committee.

Bug nobody was interested. A Palnful silence continued to reign in the underground operating room, Suddenly a voice cried out, ‘No, 1 can’t do It... can’t save « mur- Gerer,,."’ It was the murse. Her hody was shaken by sobs, Every- one felr a pang tn hin heart, for all knew how much this gentle and devoted murse had suffered at the bands of the enemy. Only some time ago she had learned that her {lance had lost a leg in 4 battle against the Amer- icans in Eastern Nam Bo, They were deeply in love with each other and this wan quite a hard blow for der. Their common friends asked themwelves whether she would have the courage to marry him, ay invalid, ut the young girl simply went to the conva- lescent centre and asked that the marriage he celebrated, She looked quite happy, but there wan deep resolve in ber voice when she told her sweetheart: ‘The Americans Want to destroy our happiness, but they will not succeed, I'l) go to battle in your place, One day the occasion will be given me to make the enemy pay for thelr crimest'* And now she was asked to par- tcipate in @ surgical operation to save the life of an enetry sol- dier, perhaps the very one who had made a cripple of ter hunband. With tears running down her cheeks, she came up to the hos- pital director and repeuted, ‘You trust underwtand...t can't do is,"* The hospital director took her arm 4nd made her sit buck on her stool, As he stood there in the middle of the room, about to say something, the electrical opera- tor left his bike, came up to him in Jong strides unbutroned his dark green shirt and bared hin chest covered with deep scars: “Look, comrade director," he said, “‘you yourself operated on me mot long ago, You took away ah eye which had been injured be- yond recovery and stitched deep gashes on my bedy, Now | no longer have enough strength lef: to fight at the front and must Content mysell with pedaling that hike togenerate electricity for ope- rations to be performed on wounded comrades, How can | work to save the Life of one of those criminals, whe have been ravaging cur coun. ty end mide an invalid of mey"" "Yes, | know,” said the direc- tor softly, patting his comrade's Shoulder. “t know that everyone of us still carries woumls caused by the American aggressors, These wounds stil} bleed..."" ih «a flast own Lrtle he re- girt at home, Taxen up by his werk in the resistance aguinat the Fronch co- lie stopped. membered his lontalists, he had maurried very late.

We have always acted in this way and we shall continue to do so vis-s-vis of US soldiers who have crogsed over to our side. Again there was silence in the underground operating room, The electrical operator slowly buttoned his cout, The young ourse was cleaning and shining surgical instro- ments, The hospital director walked back and forth. After a while, he added: “This Black Gl te named JB and was a California docker be- fore he was drafted, He wan very poor.

We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community We believe that this racist government has robbed us and now we are demanding the overdue debt of. forty acres and two mules. Forty acres and two mules was promised 100 years ago as restitution for slave labor and mass murder of black people. We will accept the payment in currency which will be distributed fo our many communities. The Germans are now aiding the Jews in Israel for the genocide of the Jewish people. The Ger- mans murdered six million Jews, The American racist has taken part in the slaughter of over fifty million black people; therefore. we feel that this is a modest demand that we make 4. We want decent housing. fit for shelter of human beings, We believe that if the white landlords will not give decent housing to our black community, then the housing and the land should be made into cooperatives so that our community. with government 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 know!- 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 else. 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. We believe we can end police brutality in our black community by or ganizing black self-defense groups that are dedicated to defending our black community from racist police oppression and brutality. The Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States gives a right to bear arms. We thetefore belicve that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense 8. We want freedom for all b'ack men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails. We believe that all black 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 fo 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 ao that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the US. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group, A peer is & 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 nian” 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 self-evident, 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 fo alter or to abolish It, and to institule 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. dence. indeed. will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are pufferable. than to right themselves by abolishing the forms.to which they are accustonwd! But. when a long train of abuses and VvUrpations pur- suing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them under ab- solute despotism, It is their right, it Is (heir duty, (0 throw off such govern- ment, and ta provide new guards for their future seeurity, : : ; ssf ST, T/T ——~ —_——_—_—_ —— ——— A SY 7 a Ny pf pm I ee ee ee ss es SEED: ALLL.
