- "REVOLUTION AND EDUCATION"
BY ELDR INGE CLEAVER GONEIDENTIAK
A A
During the afternoon of July 22, 1969, the workshop
was addressed by DON COX of the Black Panther Party, who read
the article from the June 28, 1969 issue of the Black Panther
newspaper which quotes the Samphlet, "Revolution and Education"
by ELDRIDGE CLEAVER verbatim. BOBBY SEALE and COX instructed
the 150 individwis in attendance from this publication. After
cOX read the article he explained that the "pigs" have no
respect for the administration of the colleges or the students,
that the students were paying these universities for an education
and hid the right to be respected. He stated it is our (the
Black Panther Party) job to see that this type of action by the
“pigs must stop by any means necessary. COX went on to state
trat the peer siructure controls man's life through the
institution of education, post offices, hospitals, and other
scurces which protect the system and use various means in the
economic structure to weaken the people. COX stated the system
is a capitalistic system and this is why we must be revolutionary
to overthram the capitalistic system and bring about a socialistic
system. (UU
BOBBY SEALE commented on the article and stated that
"We (the Panthers) are the vanguard of the people and the only
organization capable of liberating the people in this country."
SEALZ said because of the threat to the system by the party,
they have been ruled as a subversive organization by “that racist
pig, J. EDGAR HOOVER;" that they must educate the students on
campus and the people in the community On what is going on and
eannot move without the people with us. SEALE also spoke of
freeing political prisoners and stated that the Black Panther
Party is the vanguard of the people, not black people only,
and they have a hard job confronting them. Because of the party
being under surveillance by the "pigs", they must use every
means necessary and will resolve-all legal means, but everybody
knows that power comes out of the barrel of a gun. (7, )
A characterization of the Black Panther Party is
