LxA SE 67/1213 cliatep WE ARE AN AFRICAN PEOPLE WE SHALL WIN! WHE Published by the Kansas U. Black Student Union Volume }] NO.3 Managing Editor "Monty "Fats" Beckwith B.S.U. Meets every WED. 7:30 Wesley Foundation By Bob Burchette—The Washington Post The car in which Ralph E. Featherstone and another man were killed is viewed by (from left) Clarence Davis, Walter Lively, William Kunstler (Brown’s law- yer) and state police Lt.. Col. Thomas Smith. Brown’s whereabout*are unknown. Taken from "DIE NIGGER DIE" I anticipate one day, however, that I will be arrested and there will be no legal procedure any lawyer will be able to secure my release. In fact, the first question will not be, Let's get Rap out of It'll be Where is Rap? Jarl. “This country was born of violence Violence is as american as cherry pie. Black people have always been violent, but our violence has always been directed toward each other. If nonviolence is to be practiced, then it should be practiced in our commu- nity and end there.” — H. Rap Brown, Detroit, 1967 25 E IS H. RAP BROWN was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, in 1943. He received his educa- tion there, and for a time attended Southern University. He joined SNCC in 1963 and in 1966 worked in Alabama for the organization as State Project Director. He was Chairman of SNCC from 1967-68. Since October of 1967, H. Rap Brown has been confined to New York City under house arrest, pending trial in Maryland on charges of arson and inciting to riot. In June of 1968, he was convicted on a gun-carry- ing charge, sentenced to five years in jail and given the maximum fine of $2000; this case is now being appealed. He has also been charged with intimidation of an officer of the FBI. Mr. Brown has recently married; his wife, Lynne, is a former schoolteacher. February 2], 1968 Being a man is the continuing battle of one's life and one loses a bit of manhool with every stale compromise to the authority of any power in which one ‘does not believe. No slave should die a natural death. There is a point where caution ends and cowardice begins. For every day I am imprisoned, I will refuse both food and water. My hunger is for the liberation of my people. My tharst 2S for the ending Of OD= pression. I am a political prisoner, jailed for my beliefs (that Black people must be free). The government has taken a position true to its fascist nature--those they cannot convert, they must silence. This government has becomethe enemy of mankind. This can no longer alter our path to freedom. For our people, death has been the only known exit from slavery and oppression. We must open others. Our will to live must no longer -sup- ersede our wila to fight, for our fighting will determine if our race shall live. To desire freedom is not enough . We must move from resistance tocaggression, from revolt to revol- ution. For every Orangeburg, there must be ]0 Detroits. For every Max Stanford and Huey Newton , there must be 10 racist cops. And for every Black death there must be a Dien Bien Phu. Brothers and sisters, as well as all oppressed people, you must prepare your selves both mentally and physically, for the major confrontation is yet to come. You must fight. It is: the people who in the final analysis make and determine history, not leaders or systems. The laws to govern you must besmade by you. May the death of '68 signal the beg inning» of the end of this country. 1 do what I must out of the love for my meople. My will 1s to tight. @esich. ance is not enough. Aggression is the order of the day. Note to america America if it takes my death to organ- ize my people to revolt against you, And to organize your jails to revolt against you, And to organize against you, And to organize against you, And to organize against you, And to organize against you, And to organize against you, And to organize Mankind to rejoice in your destruction and ruin, Then, here is my Life! But my Soul belongs to my people. Lasima Tushinde Mbilashaka(We shall Conquer Without a Doubt). Yours in Revolution, H. Rap Brown your troops to revolt your children —to revol your God to revolt your poor to. revolt your country to revolt BROWN—CARMICHAEL MEET H. Rap Brown and Carmichael have joined and bandec: together in order to unify the country. Carmichael has just returned from abroad with his wi: + and upon his arrival, a number of Brown’s close friends greeted him to inform him of Rap’s intention to find a way to meet him without public notice. After the bombing in Maryland where Rap is on trial, Carmichael and Brown met and sit:ce the meeting, Brown has disappeared and no one, not even thc police knows his whereabouts. TIME If You Are Stopped By the Police 1. Keep calm and be polite. 2. You have the right to remain silent. You do not have to answer any questions about yourself other than your name and address. 3. Whatever happens never resist arrest. u may try to explain to the police officer that you are not guilty of any wrongdoing, but do not argue, use force, or run away. 4. Always ask the police officer why you are being stopped, whether or not you are under arrest, and if you are free to go on your way. If the officer refuses to let you go, consider yourself under arrest. Watch what you say for it can be used in court against you. 5. If you are stopped while driving, the police officer has the right to see your driver’s license and car registration. Show them to himifhe asks to see them. 6. A police officer has no right to search you or your car without a search war- rant unless he has a good reason to believe you have committed a crime. If the officer insists on searching you or your car, you can refuse to give him your permission but do not try to stop him. SEIZE THE 3EFORE THE PIGS EIZE YOU If You Are Arrested 1. You should immediately ask to see a lawyer. If you do not have the money to ire a lawyer, ask the police to get you a free lawyer 2. You do not have to say anything and you do not have to give or signa written statement. Remember anything you say can be used against you in court just the t were in writing.

Many Black people today believe that white America has totally brought on the state of the condition that we suffer from. To me, the knee/grow also has contributed to it. In past history Blacks have revolted and viciously refused to be annihia- lated--Then they were less exposed to white nationalistic education, and not being burden from the wasteful*knowledge they were able to function in the way of a collective Black force. The Africans descendents here in AmerikKKa are so brainwashed that they aren't even aware that those "white devils" don't like them, never did and never will! They are so conditioned to the integration philosophy and white values that they themsel- ves are not able to control it. Most of this is due primarily because of the large number of Blacks in universities and other white educational insti- tutions. Unlike our people in the past (pre-civil war past WWI) they are too*educated, they begin to debate for their civil rights with southern and northern politicians and even to the general white mass. Instead of dealing for human rights not through debating but through active envolvement (by any means necessary) to liberate themselves from the colonialist power. By pdtar- izing themselves from the white devils, they made their posi- tions and worked towards lessening the burden upon his kind. You didn't hear them talking about Marx and other foolish European philosophies of government. They understood that white European nation- alism was in no way related and had no intent to include us! They, more readily attacked the American govern- ment than most of us would even think about attacking the chairman of the P.T.A. in New York School! Knee/ grows today are sick: Much more than we were in the past. The Black intellec- tual is nothing but a farce: No such thing, but a white integrated definition of a stupid, dues paying idiot: Too many white nationalist educated bloods in Black | Studies with European values. They wouldn't think of losing their jobs, creden- tials, and enrollment, etc. In other words, they submit to crackers. The cracker in turn represses us and represses us and still we can't move. Why? Because we want to integrate not segregate. We want to be a bart of Ehis society, of devils! With all their irregular sexual hangups, racism, oppressive nature and a destiny that will end up destroyed. critical situation he has brought JAKE RAPS Integration means to assimilate which white people definitely — hate! They don't want no nigga marrying their women: Yeah, integration means to assimilate interracial marriage will and must exist, to be truly inte- gration, Just try.it. fodis and see where you get. Nixon and the rest of racist white AmerikKKa will try to kill all of us in two hours: Seems to me that if we deve- loped more "Black Universities" Malcom x Universities, and support a Black cause, then they are likely not to keep dumping bad business upon us. Also we should interest ourselves in international affairs--it will help our strug- gle greatly. The Black problem is not confined to AmerikkKKa, it is universal,we should all see it that way because there's no other way. Who is the president of Zambia? Where.is Zambia? Where are you without Africa? Love Africa for if it wasn't there, you wouldn't be here. Love Africa because AmerikKKan Blacks need a country to call home. Think. about sf... .
