GEES av isca after the opening speech by NEBLETT ¥
tefore approximately three hundred people, that a workshop was
held, attended by about ninety persons, in which NEBLETT talked
about the "white man has robbed the Indians, Negroes, Africans,
and have created germicide, but yet the white call us blacks
violent." NEBLETT again stated the Black Panthers do not advocate
violence or war, and the only reason for carrying guns was to
protect themselves from the impulsive "white fool." NEBLSTT
explained the BPP Ten Point Plan and said the greatest of the points
was to "free all black prisoners", and for “black men to be exempt
from the military service." tated in essence NEBLETT was
saying that the only way to deal with the white man was through
violence because that is the only thing the white man understands, /,,
Stated NEBLETT was not too overly impressive
in his talks but did speak with a very militant tone and siressed
militancy throughout his talks. The students did not appear too
interested in the BPP, and no application or inference was made
for the students to join the party. During the workshop, CE-TaL5
stated the students continuously inquired of NEBLEIT the reason
for the BPP, their aims, purposes, and just how students would be
helpful to the party. The BPP talks by NEBLETT did not appear to
influence the students and there was very little support or
encouragement for the party at the workshop. It was apparent that
CHICO was not too enthused with the reception of the students.
