According to the official newspaper of the BPP, the BPP was started during December 1966, in Oakland, California, to organize lac: people so they can take control of the life, politics, and the destiny of the black community. It was organized by BORBY G. SEALE, BPP Chairman, and HUEY P. NEWTON, Minister of Defense, BPP. The official newspaper, called "The Black Panther," reqularly states that the BPP advocates the use of guns and guerrilla tactics in its revolutionary program to end oppression of the black people. Residents of the black community are urged to arm themselves against the police who are consistently referred to as "pigs" who should be killed. The newspaper, in its issue of September 7, 1968, had an article by the then Minister of Education, GEORGE MURRAY. This article ended with the following: "Black men. Black people, colored persons of America, revolt everywhere! Arm yourselves. The only culture worth keeping awit is revolutionary culture. Change. Freedom everywhere. ae Dynamite! Black power. Use the gun. Kill the pics everywhere." ™ The BPP newspaper, issue of October 5S, 1968, had an article introduced with the following statement: “We will not dissent from American govern- ment. We will overthrow it DAVID HILLIARD, Chief of Staff, BPP, in a speech at the San Francisco | Polo Field on November 15, 1969, said "We will kill Richard Nixon." ae DAVID HILLIARD, in the "New York Times," issue of December 13, 1969, was quoted as follows: "We advocate the very direct overthrow of the government by way of force and violence." In the issue of April 25, 1970, the PPP newspaper had an article by Minister of Culture EMORY DOUGLAS as follows: » "The only way to make this racist US government administer justice to the people it is oppressing, is...by takind up arms against this government, killing the officials, until the reactionary forces...are dead, and those that are left turn their weapons on their superiors, thereby passing revolutionary judgement against the number one enemy of all mankind, the racist U.S. government." The BPP Headguarters is located at 1046 Peralta Street, Oakland, California. Branches of the BPP, and Committees to Combat Fascism, under control of the BPP, have been established in various locations in the US?. APPENDIX Aye yo. ~f Apr Sadie’ Der ; cyt
