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." ™

ment. We will overthrow it

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."
