FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE!
BLACK AUGUST HOT AS EVER FOR NEW PANTHERS!
PARTY’S OVER AT NJPAC? THE STOP THE VIOLENCE MOVEMENT COMETH!
On Thursday, August 13th, the New Black Panther Party will join
legions of Newark citizens angry at the scourge of street violence and
institutional insensitivity to the issue will march on NJ PAC at 6pm.
Participants will be assemble at 5:30p.m. at NJ PAC. The rally itself
will begin at 6:00p.m.
This march comes on the heels of hundreds of people taking over Broad
and Market Street over the issue.
Powerhouses in the Newark activist community, such as Ras Baraka, his
father, the legendary Amiri Baraka, DeLacy Davis, the Party’s Zayid
Muhammad, himself a survivor of street violence, Anthony Hall, who
lost a son to street violence, Donna Jackson, West Ward Councilman Ron
C. Rice, and young new voices like SeeAsia Queen, and talk radio host
Ronnella Walker, had the city ablaze with the fury of the people,
addressing their problems with the city and with the community itself
over this incredible issue, as they all brought and held traffic at
Broad and Market Streets to a halt for nearly two hours!
Last month’s spate of gun violence inspired this recent
call to urge the community to come together over this demoralizing
issue and social plague.
“I wish somebody would talk about the neglect and the
selfhate that’s at the route of this thing,” said Bashir Akinyele, a
principal organizer and former chairman of the Party’s local chapter.
For more information, please call 908-956-3523…
HARLEM FOOD AND CLOTHING DRIVE!
On Friday, August 14th, the Harlem chapter of the New Black Panther
Party will host another of its endearing Unity Food And Clothing
Drives.
The drive will take place at 125th and Lexington Avenue
from 2-5pm.
The drive will be a united community effort including the
Universal Zulu Nation, the Safiya-Nuh Foundation, Ban the N Word,
Maroon Records and WUCUSU Edutainment, Afrikan Unity of Harlem, Nation
of Gods and Earths, and more.
“A powerful highlight of this drive is that we will be
having medical students from this area who are and who have been in
medical school in Cuba as a part of their commitment to give back to
their community rolling with us,” explained Shaka Shakur, the chairman
for the Party’s Harlem chapter.
The InterAmerican Medical University in Havana, Cuba has
been offering Black and Latino students full scholarships to this
school for nearly ten years on the condition that the students begin
their medical work in the depressed communities from which they come.
“What an awesome way to acknowledge the 50th anniversary of the Cuban
Revolution (July 26th) and the Black August birthday of Fidel (August
12th),” exclaimed a proud Zayid Muhammad, the Party’s minister of
culture and longtime friend of Cuba.
For more information, please call 917 420 8662…
JUSTICE FOR JAHQUI GRAHAM!
On Saturday, August 15th, the New Black Panther Party will
rally with the Peoples Organization for Progress and the family of
Jahqui Graham who was killed while in police in East Orange in July.
Graham was found dead in his cell, naked and savagely
beaten.
The rally will take place at East Orange police
headquarters, 15 So Munn Avenue in East Orange at 12 noon.
“His head was bashed in. Bruises were all over his body.
He was laying there dead in the cell, naked, and nobody knows
nothing!” exclaimed an angry Zayid Muhammad of the New Black Panther
Party.
“There is no way a local investigation can handle this
savage case of abuse and beer sure as hell is not going to get it
either.”

NEW PANTHER MENTORING PROGRAM LAUNCHED!
On Tuesday, August 25th, the Trenton chapter will launch its united
mentoring program called the New Black Panther Party Community And
Alliance Program.
This program is being done with the united assistance of Gye Nyame
University, New Beginnings Mentoring, Diddy Bop Barbershop, Extended
Black Family, Nation of Gods and Earths, DivineforCouncil, North
Trenton Concerned Residents, Maroon Records, 500 Strong-Trenton, The
Garvey School and more.
This new program will be held at various locations including a range
of coordinated mentoring activities.
This program is another concrete programmatic response to street
violence in New Jersey’s state capital. Just weeks ago, a block party
organized by these same progressive young people was senselessly fired
on in drive by fashion. A 13 year old Trenton girl, Tamrah Leonard,
was killed in the drive by, enraging area residents to no end. To its
credit, these forces have continued to work together, creating
programs like the one above and trying to unite the community around
this and related issues.
“In the end, we have to take charge of the socialization of our youth.
We have to be the ones in their lives that they need for direction. We
have to provide for their needs. We have to provide the leadership. We
have to wake up, clean up and stand up,” insisted a focused and
determined Divine Allah, the Party’s Trenton-based national youth
minister.

BLACK AUGUST is a concept originated by the Black Panther Party to
honor the incredible George Jackson and his fearless younger brother
Jonathan Jackson.
George was the field marshal for the Party at San Quentin Prison in
California and the author the classic revolutionary works Blood In My
Eye and The Soledad Letters, the latter achieving best seller status.
He was assassinated in prison on August 21, 1971.
Jonathon Jackson was killed on August 7th seeking to liberate comrades
on trial in a California courtroom. Only 17 years old at the time, his
stand marked by the words “ we are taking over now” is legendary.
Courtrooms around the country instituted search procedures upon
entrance in response to this incredible effort.
Because the month is loaded with enormous vicious instances of
oppression, the instituting of chattel slavery in America on August
20, 1619, to the sinister Katrina government abandonment in late
August early September 2005, birthdates of incredible freedom fighters
like Marcus Garvey on August 17th and epic expressions of resistance,
like the August 11, 1831 Nat Turner Uprising and the Haitian
Revolution launched on August 14, 1791 and more, the New Black Panther
Party, under the direction of its national minister of culture, Zayid
Muhammad, has employed a Pan Afrikan approach to the concept. His 2000
paper on the subject has been published all over the globe. See Black
August highlights at www.newblackpanther.com…
The Harlem chapter of the New Black Panther Party meets every Sunday
at the Barbara Ann Teer National Black Theatre located at 5th Avenue
and 126th Street in Harlem at 12 noon. The Newark chapter meets every
1st and 3rd Wednesday at Waset Kommuniversity, 271 So. 9th Street in
Newark at 6:30p.m.
