Fred Hampton MURDERED By Fascist Pigs Dec. 4, 1969

Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton ofthe Illinois Chapter has joined the ranks of martyrs, revolutionary heroes; Lumumba, Malcolm X, Little Bobby Hutton, Bunchy Carter, John Huggins, Che, Toure, Jake Winters and the countless other revo­ lutionaries who have given the most pre­ cious gift that they could give in the name of the people. These brothers and sisters gave their lives in order that you and yours may one day enjoy true freedom and the best that technology can provide. Eldridge Cleaver, Minister of Information, has stated that "it is time to intensify the struggle", and that now is the time for "mad men". Deputy Chairman Fred Hampton was just such a "mad man".

The trumped up charge of threatening the life of the President, that is leveled against our Chief of Staff David Hilliard, now will have the effect of Intensifying the cries for LIVE freedom and justice for the Black community, as the attempt to silence Malcolm brought forth his echoes in Huey Newton, Fred Hampton, Eldridge Cleaver, Bobby Seale and David Hilliard.

There are some func­ tional BSU's that are working in the interest of the people and serv­ ing the masses. But for those of you who do not function in this manner, then it is advisable that you read this article very care­ fully; accept the criticism and act in a desired manner. You call yourself a BSU, a Black Student Union. You are supposed to be the official voice of the Black students on the cam­ pus. Your policies are supposed to be in the best interest of the students. In short, you are sup­ posed to be a serious-mined po­ litically-oriented body of Black students, but from several obser­ vations, I have been unable to see you fill the qualifications of a BSU I also call you a BSU, a Bull S--tters Unlimited. This evalua­ tion Is made because you deal strictly In cllqulsm, rhetoric, and other types of Bull S--t. Instead of dealing with problems which face the majority of the student popu­ lation, the Black student popula-: tion in particular, you sit around in your little meetings and pass "heavy" policies.

But the power only belongs to all of us, not just soma or one, in which men can start being human, can begin to cooperate with each other, can live with each other, but all. And that was the trick.

Songs, like all art forms, are an expression of the feelings and thoughts, the desires and hopes, and so forth, of a people. They are no more than that.

October 1966 3. We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALIST of our Black Community. Black Panther Party 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 Platform and Program 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 to 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 What We Want is a modest demand that we make. 4. We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings. What We Believe 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 knowl­ 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 mili­ tary 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 AK„ 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 therefore believe that all black people should arm themselves for self-defense. s& 8. We want freedom for all black 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 to 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 so that black people will receive fair trials. The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives a man a right to be tried by his peer group. A peer is a 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 man" 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 REE HUEY equal station to which the laws of nature and* nature's God entitle them, a Minister of Defense, Blaek Panther Party 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; 1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; Black Community. that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
