A VERY EARLY AND RARE MIMEOGRAPHED
BY HUEY NEWTON
on the occasion of the San
Francisco Police Department knocking down
the door of Eldridge and Kathleen Cleaver’s
apartment without benefit of a warrant.
Newton cites the Valentine’s Day Massacre
when members of a Chicago gang, dressed as
policemen, wiped out an entire rival gang. “We
draw the line at the threshold of our doors. It is
therefore mandated as a general order to all
members of the Black Panther Party for Self
Defense that all members must acquire the
technical equipment to defend their homes and
their dependants and shall do so. Any member
of the party having such technical equipment
who fails to defend his threshold shall be
expelled from the Party for life.”
