As Franz Fanon reminded us in hisIssay, "Racism and Culture", "...its these racists (i.e. the overt ones,he extreme ones) who, in oppositiono the country as a whole are lagically:onsistent. The racist in a culture with'.acism is therefore normal."

They are symbols of whatwould be the universal destiny of Blackr>eople--unmitigated subjugation, eco-nomically, politically and culturally--if racism were not met with resistance.

The racists who placed the bomb inthe restroom in the basement of 16thStreet Baptist Church on the morningof September 15, 1963, did notspecifically plan the deaths of Carol,Cynthia, Addie Mae and Denise. Indeedthey may not have even consciouslytaken into account the eventuality ofanyone's death. And, in fact, it is inthe purely arbitrary character of theiract that its significance must be sOtJght.Clearly, the purpose of the bombingwas to terrorize Birmingham's Blackpopulation. Given this goal, the pos-sibility that people might be killed asa consequence was undoubtedly a non-essential consideration--it did notmatter one way or the other. In thislight, the murders appear even morehorrible than if they had been con-sciously planned.

On the occasion of the eighth an-niversary of the church bombing, wemust also remember that even then,before the era of mass uprisings inthe country's urban centers, ourpeopleresponded swiftly, aggressively and inlarge nur"bers.

On June 25, 1971, Judge Power washanded a sealed indictment, reportedlycharging Hanrahan and others with ob-struction of justice. Power managed fora time to keep the indictments sealed,by refusing to open it until the SupremeCourt issued a decision on petitionsfiled by Hanrahan's and the fourteenpolicemen's lawyers that the grandjury should be dismissed. Judge Powerthen moved to discredit the grand juryand Sears by appointing Mitchell Wareas a "friend of the court". MitchellWare is well known to the Black com-munity , and he, himself, is Black. Wareis the former head of the infamousl11inois Bureau of Investigation, or, asit was called by Black people, the"Little F.B.I.". He resigned from his

In Ware's old position, it washis responsibility to carry out raidsin the Black community, presumablyin search of drugs. These attacks uponthe community rivaled the bestiality ofthe raid that killed Fred and Mark.Ware is also a political careerist, anirrefutable fact when we consider thathe often invited the press to come alongon his fascist excursions into the Blackcommunity. In his new capacity as"friend of the court",Ware's duties

were to be special consultant to JudgePower and to investigate allegationsthat improper pressure was broughtto bear on the grand jury in order toget indictments. In analyzing MitchellWare, we see that he is not only afriend of the court, but a friend ofMayor Daley and friend of State's At-torney Hanrahan. In an interview notlong ago Ware said that he was in-terested in the special grand jury casebecause he could easily see himselfin the same predicament as Hanrahan,a confession of his criminal collusionwith the Chicago power structure inoppressing the Black community .

In light of all the obstacles in theway of bringing forth indictments, theprosecution prepared three petitions,that were filed before the Illinois StateSupreme Court, which stated: I)OrderJudge Power to immediately makepublic the suppressed indictment; 2)Revoke Power's order making Ware afriend of the court; 3) Delay indefinitelythe hearing set by Power on chargesof misconduct on the part of the pro-secution. The indictments have, ofcourse, been released, and Ware hasbeen dismissed as a "friend of thecourt"; however, an investigation isbeing conducted to discover whether ornot Sears used any type of force to getthe grand jury members to bring downthe indictments.

It was at the end of August of thisyear that the indictments against Han-rahan and eight of the raiding fascistswere handed down. The great mystiquearound the actual indictment of go-vernment officials was swept away.The State had actually done it -chargedits own. Hanrahan was essentiallycharged with having lied badly, eu-phemistically called' 'obstructingjustice" by the State. That is, thecommission of murder was only con-sidered unlawful for Hanrahan becausehe attempted to conceal the conspira-torial murder with lies, unintelligent,obvious lies that m'lde all the State'sofficials look bad. Therefore, he hadto be punished.

The, position of the Black PantherPartY\"on the so-called indictments isas follows:

The indictments that charged "ob-struction of justice" are a feeble at-tempt on the part of the State to re-deem itself in the eyes of the People.It cannot be forgotten that the federalgovernment conspired to coverup, hideand protect the actions of the State'sAttorney and his raiders with its fed-eral grand jury report. We state thatthe federal government consPired

Mark Clark and Deputy Chairman,Brother Fred Hampton stood with thePeople in the implementation of thecomml.mity survival programs. Theywere serving the people body and soulwhen they were murdered by Daley'sand Hanrahan's fascist forces. We donot consider the indictments justice forBlack peoPle, when our communityknows for a fact that out-right murderwas committed on December 4th (1969).We will not forget that the same vi-cious and atrocious officials are stillloose in our comml.mity, and that over40 Black people have been murdered byChicago police since January 1970.

We call for a special, independentbody from the Black comml.mity to in-vestigate the State's Attorney's officeand those 40 murders, which were alsoconcluded to be justifiable homocide,the same as the murders of Fred andMark.

State and court-ordered amnesty; Am-nesty that there will be no reprisalswhatsoever, in the form of criminalcharges or otherwise. This is the firstthing that must be done to start ne-gotiations of the prisoners' 27 de-mands. This is the only bail thearrested guards can have, from theanalysis of the Black Panther Party.

, 'The Attica Prison Move, composedof political prisoners and the lives of35 arrested police guards in the handsof the prisoners, is a tactical movetowards going forward to show theworld's community people how to beginto end oppression and wretched, unjustprison incarceration."

The list of demands, summarily, ona general basis, requesting decentprison conditions, was read, with thechief demand being emphasized re-peatedly. Essentially, the brotherswanted freedom, not only for them-selves, but really all politicalprisoners; particularly they cried thedemand to free David HUliard -Chiefof Staff of the Black Panther Party -free Romaine "Chip" Fitzgerald, An-gela Davis, Ruchell Magee, the re-maining Soledad Brothers.

"The u.s.

The guards themselvesstated this -then, as now, after thefact, when no present "threat" exists.One guard, Phillip Warkins, who cameout after the prison was re-capturedby attack, said that he was given cig-arettes when there were few, medicalattention when needed, and, .'When theyate hot meals, we had hot meals; whenthey had sandwiches, so did we; wehad mattresses -but they didn't."The brothers were preserving, pro-tecting life, even under the unreason-able circumstances of Oswald's in-structed refusal to guarantee no re-prisals or to talk of amnesty, or free-dom from confinement. The brotherseven implored the State, the govern-ment of the country to consider allthe lives -of both inmates and guards.On September llth, the brothers issuedthis statement in this regard: .'We,the People, hereby present to the Ad-ministration officials of Attica Cor-rectional Facility: That we are tryingto be and act humane to the officers,as best we can under the existing,unmitigating circumstances.
