    ‘The Only Position for Women in SNCC is Prone’ 29 ‘The Only Position for Women in SNCC is Prone’: Stokely Carmichael and the Perceived Patriarchy of Civil Rights Organisations in America 1 Sabina Peck Second Year Undergraduate, 1 University of New South Wales There is the danger in our culture that because a person is called upon to give public statements and is acclaimed by the establishment, such a person gets to the point of believing that he is the movement ... There are those, some of the young people [of SNCC] especially, who have said to me that if I had not been a woman I would have been well known in certain places, and perhaps held certain kinds of positions. – Ella Baker, 19702 Until relatively recently, historiography concerning the Civil Rights movement and its organisations has been fairly devoid of the study of the participation of women, focusing instead on certain charismatic, notably black male individuals such as Martin Luther King Jnr., Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X.3 Steven Lawson, for example, has traced the evolution of 1 Note the following abbreviations are used throughout the article: CORE- Congress of Racial Equality MFDP – Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party NAACP – National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People SCLC – Southern Christian Leadership Conference SNCC – Student Non-violent Co-ordinating Committee 2 Ella Baker, Developing Community Leadership, Taped interview with Gerda Lerner (December 1970) paragraphs 15 and 14, respectively. 3 Joan C.

Black Panther Party: 1966-1982 Abstract The Black Panther party was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966. From its beginnings as a local, community organization with a handful of members, it expanded into a national and international party. By 1980, however, the Black Panther party was once again mainly an Oakland-based organization, with no more than fifty active members. In 1982, the party came to an official end. Despite itselativ r ely short history, its modest membership, and its general eschewing of electoral politics, the Black Panther party was arguably the best known and most controversial of the black militant political organizations of the 1960s, with a legacy that continues to this day.

    “Down with the Racist Pig Power Structure”– Aspects of Populist Rhetoric in Eldridge Cleaver’s Post-Prison Writings and Speeches Timo Vuorinen University of Tampere School of Modern Languages and Translation Studies English Philology MA Thesis April 2007 Tampereen yliopisto Englantilainen filologia Kieli- ja käännöstieteiden laitos Vuorinen, Timo: “Down with the Racist Pig Power Structure” – Aspects of Populist Rhetoric in Eldridge Cleaver’s Post-Prison Writings and Speeches Pro gradu-tutkielma, 82 sivua + lähdeluettelo Huhtikuu 2007 Yhdysvalloissa 1960-luvun jälkimmäinen puolisko oli suurten yhteiskunnallisten ja poliittisten mullistusten aikaa. Ensin väestöä jakoi suhtautuminen rotuerotteluun ja sen lopettamiseen, ja myöhemmin Vietnamin sota, jonka epäsuosio vain kasvoi 1960-luvun loppua kohti. Konservatiivit vastustivat heidän mielestään liian nopeasti ja liian pitkälle meneviä yhteiskunnallisia uudistuksia, kun taas radikaalit olisivat halunneet uudistuksia mahdollisimman nopeasti. Kansalaisoikeus- ja sodanvastaisen liikkeen kohtaama vastustus järjestäytyneen yhteiskunnan taholta (poliisiväkivalta kyynelkaasuineen ja pamppuineen) osaltaan myös varmasti johti kahtiajaon syvenemiseen ja yhteiskunnallisten aktivistien radikalisoitumiseen. Näille radikaaleille ei riittänyt jo olemassa olevan syrjintää estävän lainsäädännön toteutuminen ja noudattaminen, vaan he halusivat enemmän ja pidemmälle menevää muutosta. Tämä on se yhteiskunnallinen konteksti, jossa Eldridge Cleaver (1935-1998) tuli tunnetuksi, kun hänen kirjansa Soul on Ice (suom.

  • On the Ideology of the Black Panther Party
    ON THE IDEOLOGY OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY BY LldriEge Cleaver The following article introduces a new series of articles on the ideology of the Black Panther Party by our Minister of Information, Eldridge Cleaver. "ONE OF THE GREAT CON- TRIBUTIONS OF HUEY P. NEWTON IS THAT HE GAVE THE BLACK PAN- THER PARTY A FIRM IDEO- LOGICAL FOUNDATION THAT FREES US FROM IDEOLOGICAL FLUNKEY- ISMANDOPENS UP THE PATH TO THE FUTURE." Eldridge Cleaver Minister of Information Black Panther Party U.S.A. ON THE IDEOLOGY OF THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY (Part 1) By Eldridge Cleaver We have said : the ideology of the Black Panther Party is the historical experience of Black people and the wisdom gained by Black people in their 400 year long struggle against the system of racist oppression and economic exploitation in Babylon, interpreted through the prism of the Marxist-Leninist analysis by our Minister of Defense, Huey P . Newton. However, we must place heavy emphasis upon the last part of that definition -- `interpreted. .. by our Minister of Defense. .' . The world of Marxism-Leninism has become a jungle of opinion in which conflicting interpretations, from Right Revisionism to Left Dogmatism,foist off their reactionary and blind philosophies as revolutionary Marxism-Leninism . Around the world and in every nation people, all who call themselves Marxist-Leninists, are at each other's throats . Such a situation presents serious problems to a young party, such as ours, that is still in the process of refining its ideology. When we say that we are Marxist-Leninists, we mean that we have studied and understood the classical principles of scientific socialism and that we have adapted these principles to our own situation for ourselves .
