- KQED News report from February 17th 1968 at the Oakland Auditorium, featuring excerpts from speeches on Black Power and African American self-determination by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown) and Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael). These are delivered as part of the Huey P. Newton birthday rally, to protest Newton's arrest and imprisonment in 1967. Al-Amin states that: "Unlike America would have us believe, the greatest problem confronting this country today is not pollution and bad breath. It's black people! ... You see that's just one of the big lies that America tells you and that you go for because you're chumps!" Ture instructs the audience that: "We must first develop an undying love for our people ... an undying love as is personified in brother Huey P. Newton ... If we do not do that, we will be wiped out." Opens with a brief glimpse of Al-Amin, Ture and James Forman on-stage together. It should be noted that Al-Amin was the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); Forman was the international affairs director of SNCC and the group's former executive secretary and Ture was the former chairman of SNCC, who, during this rally, was appointed as the honorary prime minister of the "Black Nation" (the Oakland-based Black Panther Party (BPP).

so basically they were saying these things 60 years ago and we still haven't listened?
dang!
We listened. A lot of us did learn. But the system always a step ahead. Or even three. Some of us are just plain exhausted. I can't blame them either. I mean shit... But still we have fight in us. We can still do it. We just have to agree that we love US more than anything else. Period.
We would not have fallen for the sociopolitical fraud of integration if the people actually listened.
I said the same thing. It's like black ppl are afraid.
Right!!!!
Whole truth!!!!
There is no second class citizen.its either you are free or in slavery..powerful
We are still in slavery
@@yusefalmutawakil3325 absolute
I am free because the truth of knowing who I am and with this I can love others! I will not be defined by what someone else calls me or tries to define me to be within their shallow classification of who I am to be in their way of thinking! I am not a slave! My people were born free on an Indian Reservation and the papers I have show no Slave Owner! Amen!
@@sherylmartin4379 Fact's same with me
most are slaves to a system that the general population bow to, for survival..
Stokely gives me chills when he speak nobody else but Malcolm X does that to me. I feel my insides heating up on ready for a change. I wish our men could be more like this still.
They are beating and killing that out of our men unfortunately.
Malcolm was a thinker and a doer, these guys were just ideologues without much nuance in their thoughts
Black leaders of today are ,50cent,snoop dog, celebrities sport personally.,no true leaders.

Itâs crazy how theyâre not looking at any script or reading from cards. Everything they speak come from the heart and that alone is inspiring.
Think of the oration as a sermon,, same talking points?
To my elder I say peace be with you a new day is to approach shall there be black power to lead the way.
Beother black people to day are lost
I really took notice of that too on my second time watching. Not a cue card or teleprompter in sight. They own and mean every word. Powerful.
Bro. Stokley! Bro. H. Rapp Brown, thank you for your contributions to the struggle. 2020, it still continues
God bless us smh
Heâs became a Muslim a long time ago and changed his name to Jamil Al Amin đđŸ
When Christ returns, the struggle will be over!
The power of the people is greater than the people in power!
The real power that both democrats and republicans donât want Africans/Americans to see is the right of the second amendment. Thatâs that great equalizer for equal rights in a police state. đđĄđ§
Not if the people don't recognize that they have the power but very good statement

I was fortunate to have met Kwame Ture aka Stokley Carmichael in Brooklyn, New York months before he transitioned to the ancestral world. Very powerful and cool met.
The biggest lie ,we tell ourselves is we are making progress, we have not, ask Sandra bland, ,an so many others killed at the oppressors hand, we are being wiped out
@Gorgon Don How do you leave a land that your ancestors toiled to make it what it is? Oh, that would give them great pleasure. They play with your mind to the point of kicking your behind. The Powerplay of White Supremacy: feeling stress and anxiety to be given, instill feelings of inadequacy and low self-esteem ( kill critical thinking ), fear of conflict, display the consequences thereof, use those of their color as Judases and Jezebels to create divisions among them. Behold, the victims of inappropriate control, marginal people worthy of death. They will ignore you until you become effective as if you were a contagion as you have witnessed our black males and females of unyielding infectious determination prior to us. I can't run nor hide, I have miles to go before I sleep, there is too much history in this land to go gentle into the night. My responsibility as a black male to our young people is to prepare them intellectually and emotionally to confront a world that will reject them! To make sure they have facile minds, not foolish endeavors. The Powerplay doesn't work when you have the knowledge to turn it into silly putty.
You're wiping out yourselves so if you don't care, others won't either.
@Gorgon Don There's always Liberia..or you could stick around and be respected for doing so.
@Gorgon Don No, by staying the fight dummy. Get over yourself.
GORDON DON, YOUR WORDS THAT YOU WROTE SPEAK POWER TO TRUTH, THANK YOU đđđ·
H Rap Brown who is of Muslim Faith now .
Heâs incarcerated for life no parole.
Heâs 76yrs..
April 2020 he tried again for an appeal, the judge denied.
FREE Him!âđŸ
I met with him in person back in 1992 in Mecca Saudi Arabia. He is the finest soul I ever met i remember him before going from the hotel to the mosque he use to clean the street from any littering Or garbage. Imam jamil cannot kill a fly and I believe firmly that he is incarcerated unjustly and we have to do something about it.
@Ffossip Elgoog what about Bill Cosby, did they let him out because of covid?
Did they let out Bill Cosby, because of covid 19?
Thatâs what this Systemic system does to our Powerful leaders. Imprisonment Murder or have them on the run for the rest of their lives!
I did not Know this!!
Carmichael was quite a speaker
He was a quite of a BS That's what he was

The only thing going free you , GUN đ« POWDER BLACK POWDER!!!
who else thought about how old these brothers were at this time delivering such compelling messages with such eloquency
"There will be no fights today...we will be united!..we must develop an undying love for our people." I felt that
Soo true And we are sooooo far from it but I felt it in my heart as well. â€
We must love it's because of slavery the system of racism
âYou either free or you a slave, ainât no in between.â
Yep and modern slavery comes in different shapes, economic is the biggest slavery we have...we are enslaved to debt, meagre salary, mortgage, etc
You choose to be a mental slave.
These brothers were powerful and so needed! They are still needed their lessons should be taught in every school!!!
I love how Stokely and Martin were able to agree to disagree.
May God bless the soul of Kwame Ture and keep the strength of Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin!
Trinidad and Tobago we produce great minds proud to be Africans over the world

Produce some wesppns
lion x warrior is a rodent
@lion x warrior That's a weak talking point. You sound white.
Descedents
I wish I were old enough to be a part of that! Nothing like that is going on today and it is needed now more than ever..thanks a lot CZcams!
@Screamingdk your goddanm right we have to brought it back our self no one it's coming to save us
The duty of a revolutionary is to make the revolution!!! You must first study and understand the process. Revolution is a process, it is not an event!
This ainât coming back. It needs something stronger.. more potent. Less feasible
The struggle still continue 2020, But we do have one that is still speaking out against this same fact ( THMEM AND HIS REP ,THMLF ) APDTA. Throwing Stones of TRUTH AT ALL THE lies and deceit Truth
We have to develop an undying love for our people .
That's not a victory that's a concession that's deep......
"Identity-only politics" is a false promise.
Powerful men.
Yes. Peace be upon him. He masterfully articulated our struggle and taught what must be done to move forward.
You can say anything other then âPbhuâthatâs like saying âSalalhu Alahumwaslamâ heâs not a prophet but he is a very knowledgeable ImamâŠ
Our people need to come together like we did back then. Stop fighting each other, it's only helping "them" in dividing and conquering us. #youngpharaoh
The whiteeesss love to see us do it to one another
as relevant then as now Black survival and nothing else
Exactly this is what's going on 52 years later.

Stokely Carmichael will always be a hero and he told the truth. Rest in power.
Stokely was my favorite speaker for this time. Brilliant man
Brilliant!!
Malcolm X was mine! Smile
@@sekoukasimu7247 they were both great!!
Exactly, Great public speaker against injustice.But far from being a Revolutionary because of the lack of military power.
@@razorsharplifestyle101hard9 they were 50,000 deep the bla in the 70s really turnt in up with guerrilla warefare
Havenât heard much of Carmichael but damn heâs a powerful influential speaker speaking with much strength and it flows right into his listeners
@Joseph X Read his books and search his videos on CZcams. You will feel enlightened.
Lupton Alabama he organize protection for voters to go to the polls...
They don't make brothers like this anymore. Compare them with what we have today and you can only shake your head!!!
Bra your so right
Speaks volumes about yourself , smdh
Speak for yourself.
Thatâs beyond disrespectful!
Due to conditioning! Kill your leaders , kill your soul . Whyyyy expect anything different???
When I was a child besides my parents these men were my heroâs not athletes and actors.
Powerful message of truth âđżâđż
We need more brothers like them today
True, and we don't.
Our youths shd watch these videos & see how articulate these activists were. They were smarter than those trying to oppress them -Wallace, Hoover, O'Connor, Johnson, etc.
and what id black people do? nothing!
If I elders were watching this it would be no need. The youth of today had parents and grandparents of that day.
I had a history teacher in sixth form who showed us this for this exact reason and Iâve never forgotten it. Often gone back to watch it when Iâve needed a little inspiration.
Youth need to know the truth of the Panthers mission. And stand up
We fail the Panthers, we fail Huey will fail our people. For those who put their life on the line to make a difference for us. We fail as culture and as people who say they want fruits of this land. Afraid to give up materialistic items . That's why we are enslave tidayt
Baba Kwame Ture what a great Pan African warrior leader mentor king and hero.
He was so fiery as well as he spoke the truth.
Baba Kwame Ture- a political leader, a mentor, a role model and hero.
RIP Baba Kwame Ture
I stand with these brothers đŻ%! Iâm fired up even more than I was already!
H.Rap Brown my brother! Love â€ïž Respect â

Much respect my brothers..really inspiring......we feel you here in africa...the struggle continues..we shall overcome.....hail from algeria...
âđŸđ€ Carmichael Spoke Volumes and gave me chills! He put it into prospective beautifully. If we only had another speaker like him or Malcom it would be everything! đ€âđŸ
This is relevant. Right now.
The only difference between Lyndon Johnson and George Wallace is one of their wives have cancer. That was deep
these are MALCOLM'S CHILDREN!
they are malcoms brothers
Malcolm's Children 100%
We are Malcolms children, these are my uncles.
@Arthur Anderson actually, malcolm's was assassination in 1965 preceeded the black panthers which was formed in 1966. Malcolm was older than them and inspired ALL OF THEM.
@@illbomber1185 They were both well known years before Malcolm X was assassinated and before the BPP was formed.

Brother stokely Carmichael knowledgeable facts!
I met khuame toured in my country Guinea west Africa capital Conakry I was 13 years old it's was a great man
He was so ahead of his time. This couldnt be more relevant today and that is truly heartbreaking and sickening.
The generation of Kwame Toure was more ready politically than these satisfied people today.
Right on brothers right on
This needs to be broadcast on đș
This was deep.

Why is this still so accurate
I was president of the Black student union at my college. Invited him to speak. A tall white man nobody ever seen before sat in the front. He had a camera with him. When the lecture was over he went up to Kwame Toure (Stokely) put his arm around him kinda forcefully, took the picture with his other hand and then bolted out the door. We were all like "WTF just happened??" Had to be a alphabet boy. We tried to take Brother Toure to dinner afterwards but he just wanted McDonald's food. He said 1000s of his comrades had been slaughtered in Guinea and he wanted to go back to his hotel room. He looked shell shocked and traumatized. I could tell he needed the honorarium we paid him. Didn't get a chance to really talk but I'm glad I had a chance to meet one of my heros. He was a true revolutionary.
"Had to be an alphabet boy"?
You mean a gay man?
@@jbak87 fbi cia
@@Beechboy68 Ah, okay!
This is so resonant. I know transphobia and homophobia are prevalent amongst many communities; but we actually cannot allow it in ours. Kwame talking about focusing our energy and loving ourselves as the the pathway to radical politics. The fire I needed this morning.
Why are you inserting phobias into the discussion
@@Proactionary Respectfully, I think the lack of self awareness is precluding you from seeing how you sound just like many a white person when we talk about race.
â@@ProactionaryBecause they were trying to say that all minorities must remain united, instead of allowing ourselves to be swayed into hating one another and maintaining a hateful and opressive status quo?
"IF YOU'RE WRONG SAY YOU'RE WRONG AND GET OUT"
We did not make the laws in this country. Those laws we dont need to follow those laws morally or legally the laws that keep them up keep us down!! Talk brotha
Dick Gregory wrote a book called No More Lies.
