| The National organizer of 5,000 plus people in
the BPP chapters and branches across the USA while my buddy, the other
co-founder, Huey P. Newton, sit in jail as a political prisoner. In
sixties protest movement history [that most profound 20th century era],
the guy who cursed out Judge, Julius Hoffman for six weeks, for
violating his sixth amendment rights [his Lawyer was in the hospital],
in the Federal court room in 1969, at the GREAT
CHICAGO EIGHT CONSPIRACY TRIAL. Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Reubin
joyfully said, to be indicted in that case "...is the academy award
of protest." It was! The guy with the TEN POINT PROGRAM sixties organization. Huey and Bobby picked up guns, legally, for self defense. Why? Because those avericious-racist bastards, who we use to call "...the pig power structure!" were then brutalizing and murdering peaceful demonstrators, Black and White, Native Americans, Asian, Chicano and other Hispanic peoples. Many were killed. For example Native Americans, et., al, that was nothing new. In a five year period there were more than two thousand arrest of BPP MEMBERS across the USA. Did you know we won over ninety-five percent of all there political courtroom cases. No one tells you these and a thousand other facts. What was the real BPP-sixties movement about beyond the lies and distortions? The coalition politics? The shoot outs? The massive demonstrations, political trials and political campaigns? Who was Angela Davis, the Chicago Seven, The New York 21, Fred Hampton & Mark Clark, Stew & Judy Albert of People's PARK at UC Berkeley, Kathleen Cleaver and her former husband Eldridge Cleaver who just died may 1st 1998? Who are and how many sixties-protest movement political prisoners are there today, still incarcerated? |
