    It's About Time…

    It’s About Time… Volume 5 Number 4 SPECIAL ISSUE Fall-Winter 2001 EDITOR’S NOTE: In celebration of the 35th year anniversary of the founding of the Black Panther Party (BPP) - 1966 to 2001, we changed our paper format. We are dedicated former BPP members and supporters whose aim is to educate and inform the community about the legacy and principles of the Black Panther Party. We have the opportunity and responsibility to place our own experiences into his- torical context. The history of the BPP cannot be told by one person or group, our experiences and work are so varied. Since the first issue of our newsletter, we have interviewed many former members and support- ers from Oakland to New York, from Africa to France. Inside this edition will be basic historical infor- mation about the BPP with photos, along with current news briefs and statements of support. Unless we former members do otherwise, the legacy of the Black Panther Party will be largely ignored, dismissed and distorted by today’s commentators and tomorrow’s historians. We need to tell our stories and the stories of those of us who we lost or who remain imprisoned. Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win! THE WORLD CONFERENCE CELEBRATING AGAINST RACISM Some Dangerous Political THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY Thoughts 35th Anniversary of the Founding By Lorenzo Komboa Ervin The Fight for Reparations 1966-2001 The theme of reparations for the illegal trans-At- lantic slave trade and the enslavement of millions of Africans in the “New World”, and for European colo- nialism of the African continent was a predominant theme at this conference.

    Washington Decoded

    Washington Decoded 11 January 2013 Defending CHAOS By Jay Peterzell MH/CHAOS: the CIA’s Campaign Against the Radical New Left and the Black Panthers Frank J. Rafalko Naval Institute Press. 336 pp. $32.95 I doubt that anyone who hasn’t read Richard Helms’s April 1975 testimony before the Rockefeller Commission can really understand why he called Daniel Schorr a **********. It’s true that an unwelcome season of inquiry had settled on the CIA. And true that two months before, on the CBS Evening News, correspondent Schorr had reported President Ford’s concern that the Rockefeller panel might find out about the CIA’s role in assassinations of foreign leaders—a secret Helms did not think should ever be breathed, much less investigated.[1] Yet these circumstances could hardly suffice to provoke Helms, a former director of Central Intelligence famous for his cool, seemingly unflappable manner. There had to be something more. And there was. By now the US ambassador to Iran, Helms had made the arduous journey back to Washington once already, in January 1975, to appear before the Rockefeller Commission. While there he had also been obliged to correct his 1973 sworn testimony before a Senate committee that the CIA had not engaged in domestic spying; that he had not formed a unit in the agency to do this; that he couldn’t recall the White House asking him to do it and would not have done it if asked.[2] But while it’s one thing to make and retract sweeping misrepresentations, it’s quite another to be dragged through them point by point.
  • Will You Die with Me ? De Flores Alexander

    Will You Die with Me ? De Flores Alexander

    4. Histoire du Black Panther Party. A propos de Will you die with me ? de Flores Alexander Forbes, Washington Square Press, 2006 Ce témoignage sincère, et modeste, nous est offert par un homme qui a adhéré au BPP à 16 ans1 en 1968 où il a milité jusqu’en 1977, année où il est entré dans la clandestinité suite à une tentative d’assassinat afin d’aider Huey P. Newton à ne pas être condamné pour le meurtre d’une prostituée. D’origine ouvrière, tant du côté paternel que maternel, Forbes grandit à San Bernardino, dans un quartier qui ne correspond pas du tout aux clichés sur le «ghetto» : très peu de mères célibataires, tout le monde a un boulot, pas de délinquance, etc. Cela s’explique sans doute par le fait que la population afro- américaine locale était à l’époque employée essentiellement dans l’armée, la marine, ou dans des entreprises dépendant de ces deux institutions, et que, malgré les discriminations sévissant sur le marché du travail, il n’y avait pas de chômage. Arrêté à l’âge de 12 ans pour un vol de bicyclette qu’il n’a pas commis, tabassé par les flics à 14 ans et sauvé de justesse par un flic afro-américain qui connaît ses parents, sa révolte commence contre le racisme policier commence donc très jeune. Son père est un homme très strict et travailleur : responsable d’un groupe de boy-scouts et entraîneur bénévole de baseball, il va jusqu’à cumuler trois boulots différents en même temps quand il sort de la marine, au bout de 20 ans de service : barman dans un club, domestique d’un amiral et homme de ménage dans une usine.
