This document stated, in part, that RAM was officially organized in the Winter of 1963 by Afro-Americans who support the revolutionary objectives of ROBERT F, WILLIAMS, then residing in Cuba, and his concept of organized violence to achieve the liberation of the Afro-American people in the United States, This Manifesto disclosed that RAM had oriented its program to one of education and political revolution and the organization of a “black” political party with revolutionary objectives, having recognized the need for a "black revolution” that could and would seize power. RAM philosophy is described in this document ag one of revolutionary nationalism, that is, one involving the struggles of the non-white races of the world’ against exploitation and enslavement by the white capitalist and imperialist nations. Regarding WILLIAMS, it should be noted that on August 28 1961, a Federal warrant was issued at Charlotte;~North Carolina, charging him with Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution for the crime of kidnaping. Subsequent to the issuance of this warrant, WILLIAMS fied the United States to Cuba, where he published a monthly newsletter entitled ‘The Crusader" from Havana. As of _pecember, 1966, WILLIAMS was residing in Peking, China. This source, in September 1964, advised RAM is dedicated to the overthrow of the capitalist system in the United States, by violence, if necessary, andt its replacement by a socialistic system oriented toward the Chinese Communist interpretation of Marxism-Leninism. RAM is entirely non-white in membership, clandestine in nature, and owes its primary allegiance to the “Bandung World,” that is, the non-white races of the world rather | than to any national entity, as such. On November 16, 1964, a second source advised he learned recently from a RAM member that the organization began in Detroit, Michigan, largely under the impetus of DON FREEMAN, described as the "Father" of RAM and referred to as RAM's “Black Stalin." FREEMAN served as RAM Chairman, with MAXWELL STANFORD (now of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) serving as RAM Field Chairman. “On May 12, 1967, a third source advised that the RAM still remains active; however, there is no formal headquarters, as such, for the RAM. The source advised that MAXWELL STANFORD of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, is considered the leader of RAM and if a RAM headquarters ever existed, it will most likely be where STANFORD resides. . ae a CONFIIPRTIAL
