REVOLUTIONARY ACTION MOVEMENT
On November 3, 1964, a source made available a
document entitled, "The Revolutionary Action Movement Manifesto",
the document having been obtained by the source from an
individual known to be a member of the Revolutionary Action
ee ee
Movement (RAM).
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 concevt 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" poli itical par tv with revolutionary
objectives, having recoenized the need for a "black

was residing in Peking, China.
This source, in September, 1964, advised RAM is
dedicated to the overthrow of the captialist system in the
United States, by violence, if necessary, and to 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,
