------------------------------------------------------------------------

The New Afrikan Black Panther Party developed first from within the 
prisons of Amerika and is now building programs and organizations in 
communities across the country. Their concept of a United Panther 
Movement embraces all peoples and seeks to build a movement that can 
thoroughly transform society. We seek to open a discussion about the 
ongoing possibilities and challenges of the continuing quest for 
liberation and justice.

Shaka Zulu, chair of the New Afrikan Black Panther Party, was recently 
released from prison and is on a national tour from his base in Newark, 
New Jersey. Since Shaka Zulu’s release, the NABPP has been organizing 
“No Prison Fridays” protests in Newark. These mass rallies, which 
quickly grew from a few dozen to several hundred protesters from local 
communities, began in opposition to official plans to build a youth 
prison in Newark on South Orange Avenue, a couple of blocks from 
Westside High School. The NABPP is building Serve the People programs to 
assist communities in developing their own resources and labor power 
toward restoring them as base areas of cultural, political and economic 
revolution.

George Katsiaficas graduated from MIT in 1970 while in solitary 
confinement after being convicted of “disturbing a school” for 
organizing anti-war protests. He moved to California, where he was part 
of a deep network of counter-cultural counter-institutions during the 
1970s. He was long active against the CIA and for Palestinian 
self-determination. Together with Kathleen Cleaver, he edited 
Liberation, Imagination and the Black Panther Party.
