Even before 1954, when the Supreme Court of the United
fates of America declared unconstitutional Separate educa-
jonal and recreational facilities, racia tnrest and discord
ad become very near r the American way OL lie. _
ut that way of life was repugnant to most Americans. ince
1954, however, that unrest and discord have broken out into
widespread violence which increasingly have placed the peace
and stability of the nation in dire jeopardy. This violence has
resulted in loss of life, limb and property, and has cost the
taxpayers of this nation billions of dollars. And the end is not
yet in sight. This same violence has raised the tremendously
grave question as to whether the races can ever live in peace
with each other. Each passing month has brought new intelli-
gence that, despite new laws passed to alleviate the condition
of the Minority, the Minority still is not satisfied. Demonstra-
tions and rioting have become a part of the familiar scene.
Troops have been called out in city after city across the land,
and our image as a world leader severely damaged. Our
enemies press closer, seeking the advantage, possibly at a time
during one of these outbreaks of violence. The Minority has
adopted an almost military posture to gain its objectives,
which are not clear to most Americans. It is expected,
therefore, that, when those objectives are denied Minori-
ty, racial war must be considered inevitable. £When that
Emergency comes, we must expect the total involv@ment of
all 22 million members of the Minority, men, women and
children, for once this project is launched, its goal is to
terminate, once and for all, the Minority threat to the whole

 

” of the American society, and, indeed, the Free World.

There are 12 major Minority organizations and all are fa nil-
jar to the 22 million. Dossiers have been conpiled on the
leaders of the organizations, and can be studied in Washing-
ton. The material contained in many ot the dossiers. and our
threat to reveal that material. has considerably held im check
the activities of some of their leaders. Leaders who do not
have such usable material in their dossiers have been ap-
proached to take Governinent posts, mostly as ambassadors
and primarily in African countries. The promise of those
pesitions also has materially contributed to a temporary slow-
down of Minority activities. However, we do nci expect these
slow-downs to be of long duration, because there are always
new and dissident elemerits jcining these orgawiaations, with
the potential power te replace the old leaders. A'l organiza-
tions and their leaders are under constant, 24-hour surveil-
lance. The organizations are:

1—The Black Muslims

2—Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC)

3—Congress of Racial Equality

4—Uhuru Movement

5—Group on Advanced Leadership (GOAL)

6—Freedom Now Party (FNP)

NoTE: At the apprcpriate time, to be designated by the
President, the leaders of some of these organizations are to
be detained ONLY WHEN IT IS CLEAR THAT THEY CANNOT
PREVENT THE EMERGENCY, working with local public officials
during the first critical hours. All other leaders are to be
detained at once. Compiled lists of Minority leaders have
been readied at the National Data Computer Center. It is
necessary to use the Minority leaders designated by the
President in much the same manner in which we use Minori-
ty members who are agents with CENTRAL and FEDERAL, and
we cannot, until there is no alternative, reveal KiNG ALFRED
in all its aspects. Minority members of Congress will be
unseated at once. This move is not without precedent in
American histucy.

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE
BLACK COMMUNITY****%**

Many people are wond-
ering what will be

the direction in which
the Black students
will go this year.
Last year blacks stud-
ents had a great deal
to do with the turmonl
on the campuses. The
Press portrayed them
as violent, mean, wooly
headed beasts, that
were always demand-
ing--never asking.

In most cases, the
people, the people

of our community

fell prey that what
the mass media had

to say, and along

with the rest of the
nation, were quite
negative in their
trhoughts of Black
students.

In the past, the---
black college stud-
ent are respected
and revered in his
community. The --
people thought high-
ly of him because
through his hard
work he attended a
college or Univer-
sity. ‘However,

the student looked
upon the community
as a place "he'd
been and never
wanted to return."
In fact, this theory
was carried out in
practice, as parents
of students found
that their students
ideals and way of
expressing their
objectives changed
parent/student
communication was —
almost impossible.

In all, the attitude
of the Black student
was one of being a
snob. This was due
to all of this praise
we recieved from our
community, this "went
to his head", and
gave him the idea
that he was different
or even better than
the very people that
we have come from.

Black student's have
begun to really anal-
ize this society, and
in doing so, we have
also looked at our-
selves. What we came
up with, in the real-
ization that our com-
mittments were wrong.
What we were doing was
worying about chang-
ing ourselves in order
to fit in this society
while trying to elimi-
mate our past and all
that was associated
with it. We came to
understand that our
goal at these big col
colleges and univer-
sities wasn't to get
our education and then
enter the competition
of the business world,

but to bring our know-
ledge back to our own
communities, and use
it to better ourselves.
This means anything f
from teaching in the
Black community, to
using your skills.

Perhaps the leap was
too much and too fast.
Maybe as students, we
were trying too hard.
The press didn't tell
this, most of the de-
mands that Blacks pre-
sented to their admin-

strations last year,

in some way related
to the Black comm-
unity.

Since the realization
has been made, that

as black students our
committment, alligence
and basic interests
are focused on the
black community, our
efforts to involve

our commuhities will
be intensified. One
thing that the campus
administrators, mayors,
and governor realize
is that unless the
community supports

the Black students,
then the black stud-
ents, then the biack
students can be con-
sidered iust out there
disrupting campuses /
Campus disruption
comes when the stud-
ents try to implement
new programs that
will effect and better
the black community.
Examples of these are
Black Studies programs
and increased minority
enrollment. The com-
munity must realize
that what the students
are fighting for is the
fulfilling of the needs
of the cummunity,

and also feel that
they have a stake in
the continued disrup-
tion until the cond-
itions betters. The
people must know that
for every class room
closed down, it could
mean the admittance
of one more Black c
child that might not
have had the oppor-
tunity to further

his education.

This year beware of
what is really hap-
pening on the school
campuses. Read and
watehihav.. but) dont
just depend on the
mass media for your
sources of informa~
tion-actually get

our and talk to some
students. Give us

a chance to tell why
we do some of the
things that George
Putnam terms "flag-
rant disregard for

law and order",

don't just accept

his analysis of the
situation, search

out and find your

own. Members of the

Black Student Union
are always ready to
serve the people

and talk with them.
There are many things
to be done to change
this present society,
and only when all
people are engaged
in-students, workers,
rich and poor alike,
will those changes
come about.

ON THE BLACK
UNIVERSITY

I. Earlier Attempts
Discussions and
writings on the Black
University reflect
the difficulty which
Black theorists face
in overcoming the im-
pact of Western
thought and their es-
sential distances-
physically and dynam-
ically=from the Black
masses. While this
is understandable, it
is not necessarily
excusable, unless
such persons are
willing at the same
time to recognize
that they have not
yet unlocked the door
leading to the au-
thentic Black Univer-
sity. This reporter
would like to quali-
fy this effort at the
beginning. He can

One of the most

Lee Montgomery,
Dean of the Black
University con-
vened in Atlanta,
Ga. by the Nation-
al Association for
African American
Education between
August 20 and
August 24, 1969,
Montgomery sought
to fedefine the
concept of Black
education from the
traditional age-
levels guides:
from pre-school,
elementary, and
secondary and col-
lege to childhood,
youth,young adult
and adult. His
positior was that
Blacks must be ed-
ucated for life,
not just school

attendance and jobs.

He believed that
Black spiritually
was an all-encom-
passing concept.

It embodied science,

reason, culture,
poljtics, econom-
ics, physical and
social issues, and
the like. It
could not be sub-
mitted to analysis

The hope, here,
however, is that
some suggestions
can be made that
will initiate a
learning-how-to-
create-and-parti-
cipate-in-a-Black

University process.

In the last analy-
sis too few of us
know what it is to

These then, are be-

ginning suggestions:

A. Independent
Black Study Project
Every Black stu-

dent should in-
volve himself in a
self-directed, non-
accredited inde-

pendent study effort

of an issue of im-
portance to Blacks.
It should be of an
historical, scien-
Ei Tic. political
or cultural na-
ture but it should
be engaged in as
a means to having
one's mind for use
on Black issues.
No such intel-
tectual tradition
exists in this
country.

B. Service to
the Black Communi-
ty

Every Black stu-
dent should be
involved as a mem-
ber (consultant,
researcher, etc!
with an indigenous-
ly-based Black or-
ganization through-
out his college ca-
reer. Black stud
dents do not have
to leave the Black
community to a-
chieve in the white
world. “If they do,
they will only have
to learn how to
come "back home."

C. Writing Papers
on the Black Condi-
tion

Black students
should find them-
selves writing pa-
pers on Black-ori-
ented issues no
matter what courses
they are taking.
Lists of prospec-

tive assignments

should be
loped for
lation to
students.
no course

Scientific col-

tific humanism,

l.e., science can
be applied to hu-
manizing the Black

could assert that

cause he probab-

is an instrument
of meaningful
Survival. Or else
why are there so
many Black people
starving in the
richest nation on
the face of the
earth?)

D. Use of Stu-
dent Funds to
Purchase Land
Within the Black
Community

Black students
should be residing
in, paying rent
in, or collective-
ly purchasing pro-
perty within the
Black community.

As the number of
Black students in-
creases and co-
operative owner-
ship expands, Black
communities can
move closer to
total control.
Black athletes
should demand
"reparations," a
share of the gate
for Black Commu-
nal developments.

E. Codification
of Black Humaniza-
tion Technologies

Black students
should be

engaged in efforts
to codify ways and
means for the
Black community to
humanize its ex-
istence. How can
Blacks learn-how-
to engage in co-
operative socio-
economic rela-
tionships with
each other? How
can Black men and'
women learn-how-to
humanize their rer
lationships? How
can Negroes, Su-
per-Blacks, Afro-
Saxons, Negro Mil-
itants and the

whites? How
can slacks ex-
tricate them-
selves for a
need to be an-
noited as being
"human" by whites
and incorporate a
need to convince
each other each
of their essential
worth?
IV. Summary
The position
here is that the
Black University
exists without the
generalized con-
sciousnesness of it
by Black educators:
It is a movement,
not a physical
building or a for-
mal social institu-
tion. It “hage-noe

Federal Narcotics Agent Reveals Why:

Blacks Are Main Victims of U.S.
Dope Traffic!

NEW YORK-—lIit is an estab-

lished fact that more than 90

cent of all heroin addicts

in the United States are non-

white: Black, Puerto Rican or
Mexican American.

STATISTICS RELEASED by
the U.S. mt of Health,
Education and Welfare show
that prior to the craze for LSD

t chem-
icals, the major market for illic-
it drugs in America was among
nonwhites.

“If there were net federal,

wiped out in a matter of
months,”’ states an irate Black
federal

mame to be withheld.

“It is commonly thought that
oppressed peoples—Blacks,
Puerto Ricans and Mexican

premacy by using v;
amugs,” he said. ‘But several
aarveys indicate that even up-

of America when

contradict n
that one or another ethnic group
is more to experiment

“The fact of the matter,’’ he
, “is that there is a
direct correlation between the

of drug addicts in this commu-
nity.”
He said that teen-agers natu-

a dare,’’ whether they are white
or nonwhite.

“It’s well and good for a par-
ent to say that he has brought
his child with the awareness
of various pitfalls, including
dope,’’ the agent told the MU-
HAMMAD SPEAKS reporter.

“On the other hand,’ he con-
tinued, ‘‘even the parent most
conffent that he has instilled in

awareness of the pitfalls of life
... will be the first one to
speak out velmmently if there is

even a rumor of a dope peddler
around his child's school or in
the community.”

The federal agent emphasized
that no parent wants his or her
child exposed to narcotics, re-
gardless of his confidence in his
ability to rear the child.

“WE KNOW THAT local po-
lice throughout America—espe-
cially those assigned to the ghet-
tos—do not care about how
many Black youths are captured

the ‘ syndrone,’’’ the
agent continued. ‘‘But if a police
station in a white community
gets the word that a narcotics ped-
dier is in the neighborhood, the
station commander will assign
three shifts of his best detectives
to catch the peddler.”’

But in a Black community, he
went on, ‘‘the officers are either
apathetic or prone to take
bribes from the peddlers.

“After all,” he stressed, ‘“‘It's
only Black or Puerto Rican
youths that are being exploited
—and virtually murdered day by
day—by the narcotic traffic.”

In New York city, those killed
by drug abuse mainly range in
age group from 15 to 35. They
were found in abandoned build-
ings, on rooftops, in basements
and hallways throughout the
city. All were heroin users, and
their deaths were causing unusu-
al concern, even in a city where
heroin abuse killed a total of 650
persons last year, and more per-
sons in the 15-to-25 age group
than did murder or disease or
any other single cause, including
automobile accidents.

Five heroin fatalities are re-
ported in New York city on an
average weekend. During the
last weekend in June, the num-
ber rose to 2%, an increase of
almost 30 per cent.

There was no_ white- Black
breakdown on the number of
deaths. But since it is a well-
America are Black, it can be as-
sumed, with much credence, that
about 90 per cent of those killed
by the narcotics traffic were
Black.

 

 

NO MORE NIGGER WILL | BE

No longer will I slave and toil
My life away on white man’s soil.
Breaking my back for nothing more
Then a spit in the face and a slamming door.
No longer will I live or die
In his back alleys under his filthy skies.
Which rats have left and death now crawls.
In tenement houses with gnawed up walls.
No longer will I accept his lies.
Or flee his intimidating spies,
who lurking in the shadows slip
To lash my back with malicious whips.
The white man’s fool I’ll never be.
Or be tormented by his cruelties.
Instead I'llmar ch with vigor and pride
Until all his evil acts subsides.
Then no more nigger will I be.
My chains will break and I'll be free.
And all my sufferings will be of the Past.
I'll be free forever at last.
A free black man forever at last.

The Role of Violence in Revelu-
tionary Change

Some brothers involved in the
Struggle (redundant since a
brother by definition is one in-
volved in the struggle) are still
confused about the correct posi-
tion to adopt toward violence.
On the one hand brothers are
advocating the use of violence

ence and passive resistance.

Judged from the standpoint of
revolutionary politics both posi-
tions are incorrect, taking as
they do a political position that
has no relation to political reali-
ties.

Advocates to violence, devoid
of correct political relations, are
generally either romantic revo-
lutionaries or psychopaths. They
need violence to satisfy exhibi-
tionistic drives in their own
psyches. Besides these two there

but currently not so much in
fashion. To counter these ten-
dencies, we must dicipline our
minds. Students should study
hard. In addition to the study
of their specialized subjects, they

must make progress both idealo-

means that they should study cur-

ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE

for Panthers’’ put forward by the
Black Panther Party can be won,
There is a historical precedent
for just this sort of exchange
taking place.

This writer played a small part

in this precedent and remembers
it vividly.

The Black Panther Party is de-
manding that the United States gov-
ernment release Panther political
prisoners in exchange for U.S.
war criminals shot down while
making murderous bombing raids
over the Democratic Republic of
Vietnam.

Apologists for U.S, imperialism
will say that this sort of thing
just can’t be done; that people
imprisoned under the criminal
codes of this country can’t be
freed in political exchanges. Peo-
ple who don’t really want to see
the Panthers freed from the pig
power structure will point to a lot
of legalisms as to why such an
exchange can’t be made: the Pan-
ther brothers and sisters have
been jailed on criminal, not polit-
ical charges; the federal.govern-
ment, which would have to arrange
such an exchange, has no juris-
diction over the separate states;
the Panthers have yet to undergo
trial and sentencing, etc, etc.

But all this is really a lot of
baloney. The U.S. imperialist gov-
ernment could free the Panthers
tomorrow if they wanted to, Be-
cause just eight years ago, under
almost identical circumstances,
the pigs in Washington did agree
to political exchanges. This was
in the case of Francisco Molina,

U.S. were up against the most vic-

murder charge, and for weeks the
papers screamed about ‘The i

for him because he had lost a

factory) with the same kind of
hysteria they use today against the

was held without bail so that :
he couldn’t get out and rally i

great support for him in the Cuban

Like the Panthers in jail today,
Molina was held on a criminal

Bay of Pigs invasion, where 1200
counter - revolutionary worms
were captured by the Cuban peo-
ple. Among them were a couple
of thugs who had framed Fran-
cisco Molina.

The U.S. government found it-
self in a doubly embarrassing
situation, First, the invasion had
failed miserably leaving it obvious
to the world that the CIA had
planned the whole thing. Second,
there were now the 1200 prisoners
being held in CUBA, The U.S.had
to make efforts to get them back.

It had already leaked out that
the ‘‘leaders’’ of the invasion had

been kept under lock and key at
Opalocka Air Force Base by the
CIA so that they wouldn’t get in
the way during the affair. If the
U.S. didn’t get the prisoners re-
leased, other embarrassing details
of the ‘‘all-Cuban”’ invasion would
surely be told.

there were more obstacles in get-
ting Molina’s release than there
are today in the Panther cases.
Molina had already been tried and
convicted by a jury; he was serv-

prison for murder: it seemed that

a pardon, and within a day Fran-
cisco Molina was on his way to

iKKKas. Rockefellers opponents in
the ruling class didn’t breathe a
word of criticism. All the legal
fol-de-rol was swept away because
the Establishment decided It was
in their interest to carry out tne
exchange.
The legal complications are not
as great inthe case of the Panthers,

The U.S, government doesn’t

them to free Francisco Molina,
