Black Journal; 13

elaine moved the public the pay to play the piano ms ayesha malik and brothers and sisters i'm luke how are you welcome youtube like your first anniversary program if you remember was one year ago the blind journal first went on the air something can be implied about this country went twelve months after we began black journalist still the only nationally televised program america controlled by and for black people an average of a dinner program hours per month is there and nationally by network television that's a big wall and only one hour this

time was really good to a program which was specifically designed for and control by blacks in the program is black journal significant events this past year brought about changes in the afro american community are struggles expanded and taken many forms went to washington with the poor people's campaign he challenged political structures in such areas as los angeles california and fayette mississippi we won some battles for freedom and while some but more importantly black people in america have begun to get together and on the case our struggle for human dignity continues we're growing stronger out the ability of force well probably someone once we will highlight some of our past metairie which we feel is pertinent today one of blood journals first stories focused on the black panthers last year the panthers were a small group of robbers located primarily in oakland california their first gained national attention when they entered the state

legislature in sacramento carrying guns and protesting police brutality today the panthers are once again a big news item of their membership and activity girls journalist and a film called california and we'll have that story huey newton the leader of the militant black panther party will go on trial july fifteenth in oakland california accused of murdering a policeman the black panther party has attracted strong national support from radicals and intellectuals black and white the panthers openly advocated the use of guns against police claiming that they don't attack that will only shoot in self defense a point disputed by bay area law enforcement agencies the panthers say this is the only means a reading the black double what they call police brutality of oppression the party was founded in nineteen sixty six by huey newton and as membership estimate between two hundred fifty and one thousand within the last eight months their

policy and police responses lead to two major gun battles and to the decimal place one and a panther teenager like cancer was first made national news just a year ago only into the state capital in sacramento and with rifles and customs he's proposed legislation mm hmm in the year following this incident there were a series of armed confrontations between the local police and the panthers the police maintain the panthers have provoked these incidents the panthers claimed the police are trying to liquidate their leadership and destroy the party last april oakland police stop accountable panthers a gun battle broke out in this house the details

remain confused both sides claim they fired in self defense after ninety minutes of shooting the panthers surrender the panthers say seventeen year old bobby bowden came up first with his hands up and was shot to death police say they thought he had a gun and was trying to escape eldridge cleaver author of the much praised book saw my son panther leader was shot by police and arrested in the incident oakland police chief deane then the people in the city who have the line this police department who had to someone and sentimentality or other reason sympathize with the black panthers with peace and freedom movement and what really what real evidence is there to cause people to be so sick and to do that the lining of the small and unjustified job that has been put out lobby they try to deify one driver murder policeman and what do they say on this piece of

paper a black man who dedicated his life the funding that was just the passion lee director lust lies three reckless attempts to create regiments of black panther party plans is a real threat to the peace and tranquility of the city of oregon the panthers have a different version of their role huey newton panther leader will soon be on trial for his life we asked him about the origins of the party and their concept of self defense we used to be a black panther access to assemble it does drag anyone but when you say obama the deal back up for the aggressor continues then just drag out there what about his aggressive barely whole absolutely and completely than the party is they are fighting they are at our second part of a third party but we see very little difference force black people are concerned between the republican

or democratic party here in the united states now we view ourselves as a colonized people so when the situation room of the country in a colony and now the politics of the mother country that don't answer the need to know the black subjects in the colony over for this video political party and it's working for you originally umpire you called the black panther party for self defense of the name now has been changed to the black panther party because many people miss understated skill of self defense cannot leave power structure the establishment as albin aggressive towards us and now every area saw a lariat economical ariane the political marriage so therefore only felt it necessary to a political

party to defend and promote the general interest of black people our aggression and economical areas in israel is regression physically rivalries least at occupy our community or untrue bob gates occupies territory her defiant stand against police they seek support or running candidates and when organized peace and freedom party to publishing early as bobby seale had her turn james b the

lamprey the ladies we do right now and to support this point carbon market organizer of life for justice committee whose books and revise the committee all are rich roll out a lot of consumers while community organizations about writes about the need to repeal it was the sanitary conditions or the war of ninety six percent of the people shopping at langham less than five percent of people work here this is inequitable and this is why we hear it and that is the connection between boycotting year housewives an indictment of the murder is connected because the

economic pinch this ad saying that doesn't mean the police in a society says the set is that raises the afghan control at least sixty percent of the policeman who was able to live outside a synagogue say related humans probably they must be black the major issue of race relations in oakland is the continued friction between the black community and the police both sides are holding firm to their positions and the situation remains potentially explosive we asked out in good lip publisher the influential san francisco by quickly the sun reporter for his evaluation and comment i believe that the police department is slowly but surely becoming the provocative words and the insiders of incidents that could very

easily lead to the extermination if necessary of members of the black panther party i believe that the possibilities of racial harmony and peace in oakland is certainly on trial if the police respond to the demands of these young people for the ending of two standards of police action one for white citizens apprehended one for black and probably ways of peace can be restored in that city have not we would see ourselves too simplistic to that separation mentioned in the president's commission on civil disorders of one nation but on one hand and one nation white on the other was it was black servant of the political pressure that has had the better leadership huey newton despite the abuse cases still in jail bobby seale awaits trial on conspiracy charges stemming from his part in demonstrations at chicago's democratic convention eldridge cleaver of reporting in cuba when underground after several confrontations with police and just before he was again another jail term for the bill

membership and the patches has grown rapidly organized to combat police brutality in black communities today the panthers are involved in a wide range of political ad community activity ranging from a self defense to feeding hungry children one aspect of the pope has a certain their group has a growing force in the black community affecting people from all walks of life perhaps even a black cop the black community with its new sense of revolutionary pride as increasingly come into conflict with police establishment significant elements of the black community view the police as agents of the white power structure who seek to maintain order at the expense of justice as more efforts are made to recruit blacks for local police forces across the country black communities are more and more turning their attention to the blacktop not like journal asked who was the black top lawyers yet

again at the new york city in the black population approaching twenty percent only six percent of the police force and black david walker is one of fourteen hundred black members of new york's finest his goal has always been now a veteran of two years on the force it's because community policing seem to be a sense of this it was constantly it's big people align with a lifelong very

close to life and saying or faisal i think the fall since birth i see i think for me in that sort of function and i'm feeling like my own life and the end of the service in the community as bunnies but it's but i feel my job is to protect property and live life and property right but i'm not going to put myself in a position of the judge jury and executioner and stand

if i shoot bedfellow for stealing a tv or a case of beer why should i shouldn't we go to trial in court and get the maximum sentence will be about two years the selection i should get a message in the center i'm feeling it's like having a monkey on the back was tailored because you're black working in the black community you should be on the phone you should be the front runner suppression crime controlling the situation i feel i'm lucky it's

been nice it's like a day job

if i can help it in the position to do so oh you're an innovation that will help of people in some way anything that can help other people beautiful woman as long as you don't overdo it but i still would do it exaggerated point one day we have a few militants out the industry lobbying and barking about what should happen on any change should be taking place and so the point is maybe and so money's been appointed filmmaker the next day will see them again allow you know come back next week and try to make my another way

right right those caught in the middle i think if they lose to keep trying to finally out and not until i finally of july actually and comfortable with myself deputy inspector of the sea hill commander of the twenty eighth precinct in harlem

and one of the highest ranking black men on the new york forest discusses the black officers dilemma but i would suspect it was leveled so the line with two hats and all along the suspect's houses and in the end and identifying themselves and iii says this opinion it unless and this is change the law by the prime minister in the law allow i tell them what new newsroom has a lot of representative of the establishment that they do consider responsible for the white and in many ways they see a reason to raise money at all that was very sensitive to work

on these uncomfortable for the community says one reason the hall with so what is this all right ah because of their socialization classes do really big black people who understand the problem and so it is so i would not all intimate anyone from some of my community based on skin color or the senate and i don't think that by law like the law says all and understand more reason for people with aids that then than white people

came from all over the fallen so to speak like summer we asked deputy inspector hill where the civilians should be in control of the police i was suspected as the white house sophistication all expertise to evaluate police conduct this is just the reason why i think my favorite i believe all i'm leaving civilian control military analysts institutions i think it we tried on bail is wrong when the civilian can control at all in los angeles four percent of the police force is black was fourteen percent of the population is black elements of the black community considered the blacktop to be even more repressive than his white counterpart

whereas going to be a policeman and that is that they usually aren't i think it comes with the badge in uniform as bailey is one of two hundred black policemen on the los angeles courts are a veteran of twenty years officer bailey prepares for night patrol in the wilshire section of los angeles and here it is being with inclusion industry between two regional parliaments and in almost forty years experience in my own it

is fb issues but it's been it the

situation they want i'm always but that all the black or white has gone down on were pretty used to too lulu a lot of the un system not only the courts of panels insulation out of a black man in the white label any time a man can be i mean the you know in the world of the people who actually local policeman crowds crowd it's beep

life believe me seemed to take the attitude that they're just because you're black a lot of implied to an equally as well as somebody else and i think this is where the problem lies a they will be exempt from the law because i am of color and i am a policeman so we feel that that i should allow them to go in take somebody else lieutenant ben would see henry highest ranking negro on the los angeles for us i think is very important to the manner in which they are sure convention floor of the convention halls an emotional and right to spectre the community and you'll get that if he doesn't then her he will receive the leaders they were the community and they will not respect him

and that is the officer liu accused of being overcome and being a clear to avoid committing fifth birthday month police more than an affront his role as a policeman as opposed to whole was a negro then these two women would be somewhat listener even the blacktop of the man in the middle is six acceptance and police community which reflects the white society and the status quo on the other hand it's a blackmail from the black community which is demanding immunity which continues to ask him which side is eo but bitcoin grout is fast becoming a popular american

enthusiasm for the game remains the same i met rare rabbit in the pea vine i ask him where was he like that's from down home on a recent visit to the violin elementary school in north carolina we found that seven games had much to do with animals and things close to nature for instance they play a game called the rabbit and the hard cases business it's the hand it is a rather becomes the red and so he

in the last four years fifty nine cooperatives have sprung up in eleven southern states fifty seven of them are black the catalysts of this woman as a catholic priest father albert nineteen sixty four filed the first of these walkers southern consumers in lafayette louisiana today seven consumers has two thousand members every businesses and is the motivating force behind a sweet potato forward to report on the problems of progressives southern consumers this father mcbride the thing that struck me when i first came to louisiana and but my first floor is strictly in to record church wark off was how irrelevant all look to my preaching was maimed trying to preach to people who are hungry trying to get christian morality to a family of twelve living in the two world powers and i say that the reserve close association between taking care of the needs of the body in a ministering to the spiritual

needs of it the hunt is a fishing town that most of the people on their livelihood and if there's not one person whoa and off we discuss the possibility of getting loans from the thomas ullmann inspiration for that reliable they finally granted to belong to a group of three and last year in libya and what we were hoping to get the border the beginning of the season but with all of the lone didn't come through to actually at the end of the season you have to start with the people that way you can get

involved in was from the idea that that we thought it would be this call something cool water to revive memphis people who wanted to become members would have to pay five dollars entrance fee then they would sign a subscription contract whereby they would invest a minimum of three hundred dollars we got the idea of why not a statewide organization with people all over the state would be able to join and then from that money we could go into a variety of businesses blackie everyone agrees the property a couple of months now in which we hope that bill along gasoline station and that when we wanted to be this nation cain available and we decided that it would be good for at least a station for a couple years and see whether we could really draw the patronage of that would make it worthwhile for that alone it's very few people realize the psychological damage that has been done in a black man because of racism in this country

and we find in black businesses is very typical black customers because of all this psychological damage at all to many black people think that the white man catch the other than the black man asked the white man's life is colder than the what black man's eyes and it's an educational process that we have to go through trying to educate the people who patronize their own businesses they create here with you producer quality food cake and it was at the time we had stumbled guidelines we knew that we had a little business experience no management know all we had then have too much capital and we won it off specialty item something that we could start small and had hopes of growing well this year we've made a breakthrough coaching as a candy company out of new york and we received an order from them for ten thousand from

cake which actually is more than our po production elaine too although large orders like that with that will establish a sound foundation for so that we'll be able to relate to louisiana we have the highest rate of interest forty three percent o n is the poor people are really happy that we got people together to talk about the problem and then they decided to start saving their money and the money that they saved all they would come into the country since nineteen sixty four and it's a lot of members that while people can gain rate hedge fund the local lending operations due to low income most of the violence are for low

income families and they haven't had any business experience before and most of them can qualify or else so usually it's used as a beast saudi is this training father of two so wildly border they invest each month every hundred dollars they bought they invest a bow and with

those things it has been appreciate it why didn't they were selling homes in la and all the thing that have really amazed me in this whole self

help activity is the hostility and how people feel more people sought help and so we've been accused of being communists we've had our motion person the state legislature to investigate us we've been investigated by the state and american activity committee today hearing in lafayette all the da has raided our office on fees though walks we had to go into federal court all we apply for temporary restraining order from the local federal judge but because of the local politics anymore and become involved we have to go to the court of appeals where we did get a temporary restraining order off forcing him to hold a hearing and since then all the local politicians have i think gotten respect for us now and the harassment is undercover and not as open as it has been

in a society really need of genuine social and economic changes of institutions the way people think and really change the way that black man thinks about himself has changed the way the white in this camp change can only be one of our political groups of people dealing with the problem and changing the roman coliseum and slowly we're listing the assistance of other people why does a court order and we see hanna succeed while another in holland of the city making it a quarter of organize and managed by blacks in san francisco's hunter's point district a black community nearly went out of business although it often undersold by competitors why any i do mentality build protests as season like gerald ford or somebody emerging afro american economic programs

although president nixon campaign in the platform of economic help for blacks from the private sector from all accounts most whites weary of this patent solution delivered emma me your vote of confidence in the idea of like economic independence or economic self help has taken root small businesses industries cooperate marketing and other concepts of economic communities are being initiated many small businesses fail but a few survived and well our business fails it could be that we its patrons have fallen victim to this mix of color doris taylor strode tells all about george does it

is lawyer just a blend of lots of the blues yes it's hurt but the lyrics to a familiar story quite on the inside but black on the outside why why do we think of black as bad and what is good and interesting question well that's what the semantics of color is all about light symbolizes purity honestly innocence lies told you have evil intent white and hands free of evil quite minded mental purity want import goodness you at white black represents evil would get this disgrace and broom black i mean i'm wicked black mouth foul talking profane black tuesday disaster black ball that you had wanted to

bet you had black even the poets used black is bad like this could blame and the sounds of innocence wrote my mother born in the southern wild and i'm black but oh my solace white why does the angel distinguished trial but i'm black as though relief to fly flights david blatt puts negative meaning and a little choice blacks accepted and help propagate and we didn't manager of songs such as what in the world did i do to be so blunt and blue acceptance was a notice on for a long long time and challenged and then suddenly oh all so beautiful a black consciousness revolution

a revolution that is filling the need for identity and pride by taking the historical madness of black and using it and a strong positive way as is the case with many revolutions this one is being waged by young blacks he also does the expression black is beautiful and it's so beautiful to be black mean to you they have their own unique way of expressing themselves this mean that it would evolve like lack of people who are just like if i was like oh right because of hiv before most of them up and just colossal perkins people think is beautiful to be useful and when you say black and innovative in that company because that way that but i'm not afraid of because if you take if a wedding me as as july so black

is a way that means beautiful to me and something that i really believe in for my race because it's something that brings us together and what we want to fight for and i was another fate of the way that the way the majority of people are because they don't understand it i'm in northern region of innocents in the flight deck we chat to go back and do longtime people used to think that being black you know you were ashamed of it because you know supposedly brainwashed by the white man that he really inferior to him but now you look at yourself and you see how beautiful you are we don't have too long he elevated many more and so i hear the expression black is beautiful i think of myself and all of my other black others insist it was an intellectual black is beautiful week always been beautiful but i think that people are now discovering

that make them things like we've always known what people all the world are beginning to really dig with all about and myth they thought the printing out and letting it go i think that's basically what it means for black is beautiful it is to be black because we're quite happy white people that would not need now the young people especially you know the beauty of being that you know so much about your ancestors and the things you've done in this century in this day and in time and so it just needs so much a do is not knowing your name your address these fundamental things this is what she'd been known to all black people and white people so that when you know there's you know how truly beautiful if you think thats whats yours hoang gauze so

beautiful was so beautiful oh no cause you're all alone one well their brothers and sisters as black journal for this evening as we said earlier there's been a great deal of creative activity and change in the black community this past year the blacklist them for example of moving toward closer identification of like brothers and sisters roots of afro american police associations i've been created many areas the country and all observations point of the spying as yet another response of the problem will please brutality in black communities is taking solace a while to understand that black is beautiful our problem understanding i work on our value was clearly described by

george taylor his semantics of color some observers feel that blacks in america have been reacting to race of oppression and that now rather reaction what we need to do is to act to build a girl to live to share to love and to do a man with zach refuse to shape and control of destiny does not believe the us is less than a man next month culture on black journal will take a look at some african and afro american history the recession with a real tomorrow's dance troupe and by gentle take a look at black theater as many of you know black joe was operating on a reduced budget to continue presenting black journal in the fall we need you are viewing audience and if you want the black journal to continue brothers and sisters send a letter or postcard to black journal and a t t ten columbus circle new york city new york one hundred nineteen so until next month those loopholes and we agree with the street now jason jr
