1. We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our
Black Community.
We believe that black people will not be free until we are able to deter-
mine our destiny. ”
2. We want full employment for our people.
believe that the federal government responsible and obligated to
give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if
