Its evident to me that the Party's confrontational-style directly challenged the power structure that oppressed Black communities. The police for one in this book went through extra measures to see it that the Party was shut down. Directly challenging police brutality, as well as the police's ability to infringe on citizen's rights were eye opener's to me. Knowing the law key in one's ability to be a citizen in the United States.
The obvious corruption in the Judicial system is something I want to look at more in close to. The prison system in America sticks out to me like a sore thumb. Something is wrong with it, I just don't have the intellectual arguments to say why...yet. After my next book, Che by Jon Lee Anderson, I will look into it.
There is an old African Saying, "I am we." If you met an African in ancient times and asked him who he was, he would reply, "I am we." This is revolutionary suicide: I, we, all of us are the one and the multitude.-Huey P. Newton, Revolutionary Suicide
