T
VOLU 0 came m the
ongoing civil rights mo men
which the e id s rted
ay b fore the day of Dr.
M rtin Luther King Jr. and
loolm X.
"A lot of people think that
rtin Luth r Kingj jumped
up one day and had a dream,"
I ver id. "But we have been
involved in an ongoing process of
development." Party members
w re no allowed to grab a gun
and go; they had to be
indoctrinated to the platform
rul and be well versed' books
several Black thinkers.
The speakers aid African
Americans then and now are in
a constant struggle again t
segregation and exclusion,
political disenfranchi ement
and economic exploitation. For
these reason, the group
e tablished a 10-point list of
demands from the government
including:
• Decent housing fit for
human beings.
Full employment.
• Decent education that
t aches (Black) history.
• Trials by (Black) peers.
Toucbi on rytbing
women' role in th
organization to the group's
ultimate demise, Seale and
Cleaver reminisced about their
rol in educating their people,
challenging the police and
s ruggling for brotherhood.
THE GROUP CHANGED
the lives of many Blacks and
scared others before facing a
slow demise, Seale said. He left
the organization in 1974, when
his co-founder, Huey P. Newton,
fell to alcohol and drugs.
Cleaver said it was a
combination of intellectuals and
the Black bourgeoisie that led to
the conflict and destruction of
the organization. He accused
members of the group of acting
on their own agendas or playing
the roles of informan to the
FBI. Some, he said, are now
Black U.S. politicians.
The lecture sparked little
controversy as a mixed 'group of
MSU students braved a cold
night to taste a little of Black
history.
MSU student group leaders
from the Black Student Alliance
and the Jewish Student Union
showed support for the
sp akers, who they claim held
an important role in the
r organization of the Black
community of that time.
"The Black Panthers, in my
opinion, was the beginning of
Black empowerment," said Qeoff
Berdy, JSU eo-founder.
AND OFFICIALS from the
Hillel Jewish Student Center,
who protested last year's
campus appearance of Kwame
Ture, formerly Stokely
Carmichael, an ex-Panther
accu ed of being an anti
S mitist, said they did not
expect any negativity to come
fr m the lectures.
The speakers called for a
greater involvement in the
political, economic and social
evolvement of the community.
"1 aver said Blacks ne d to
fo and redirect the anger that
oft n results in Black-on-Black
crime.
"We forget where all of this
violence is coming from,"
Cleaver said. "When you are
opp sed, the energy that is
r 1 s ,jf you don't take it out
on the oppressor, th nit is
in srnalized," he said. "This
on mi thing is n bulous and
W > forget who we need to shoot."
