In Defense 0f
SelfDefense
An Exclusive Interview
with
Minister of Defense, Huey P. Newton
In the Att0rnies' Room, Alameda
County Jail, March 8, Z968
Present were: Charles R. Garry,
Attorney; Ray Rodgers, Los Aggeles
Times; Joan Didia, Saturday Evening,
Post; Colin Edwards, KPFA; and
Eldridge Cleaver, Ramgarts Mggazine
and The Black Panther Newspaper.
Q: Why did you drop the words
for self defense from the '
official name of your organi- e
zation? 5
A: We ran into the problem of
people misinterpreting us as a
political party. They use the
words for slf defense to define
us as a group that is para mili-
tary, or body guards, or some-
thing of this nature, But we
found that it was very difficult,
even though in our program we
described or defined ourselves
as a political party, people
seemed to misinterpret the defi-
nition of what self defense was
all about, We realize that when
we are assaulted in the community
by the gestapo tactics of the po- '
lice that this is also a po1iti- .i
cal thing, We are assaulted -,' -___

reminds me of a quote
from James Baldwin. He
says that, "To be black
and conscious in America
is to be in a constant
state of rage," and I
think that this is very
true of black people in
general in this country.
Many black people, most
black people, as I said,
are uneducated and they're
not used to handling
academic things and ad-
ministrating. So their
response might have been
somewhat different than
mine, but they will rally
behind a political party
that's representing their
grievances. So, all the
Black Panther Party has
done is to articulate and
bring out the grievances
of the black community.
Q: Can you recall some
incident that sort
of brought home to
you the attitude of
the majority of
white people toward
Negroes and the at-
titude of the white
establishment?
A: You would like a speci-
fic incident?
Q: To bring home to peo-
ple how this can scar
one's soul,
A: I can understand that,
it's very difficult for
me to cite one specific
incident because it's a
very long process.
started to say that,"for
a white person to under-
stand, let him come to
the black community," but
this wouldn't be a good
example, because he coul-
dn't experience the ali-
enation and the antagon-
istic attitudes of blacks
that we receive in the
white community. We live
in a hi$e world, in white
America here and any time
a white person goes to
the black community or a
black country I doubt
very seriously whether he
experiences this aliena-
tion, because black peo-
ple seem to have some
priority on being human-
ist for some reason, Per-
haps its a historical rea-
son, I can't pinpoint why,

"QN PEOPLE s WAR"
" _is the highest form
of struggle for resolving
contradictions,when they
have developed to a certain
;
stage, between classes,
nations, states, or politi-
cal groups, and it has ex-
isted ever since the emer-
gence of private property
and of classes,"
.
*
"Revolutions
and revolu-
tionary wars are inevita-
ble in class society, and
without them it is impos-
sible to accomplish any
i
leap in social development
and to overthrow the re-
actionary ruling classes
and therefore possible for
the people to win political
power."
-X- -X- *
"The seizure of power by
armed force, the settle-
ment of the issue by war,
i
is the central task and
the highest form of
revolution."'
* *
"All reactionaries are pa-
V
per tigers. In appearance,
the reactionaries are ter-
rifying, but in reality
they are not so powerful.
From a long-term point of
view, it is not the reac-
tionaries but the people
who are really powerful,"
-)9 -X- *
"Our principle is that the
Party commands the gun,
and that the gun must never
be allowed to command the
Party."
* .-x- * 4
"The people,and the people
alone, are the motive force
in the making of world his-
tory."

" The revolutionary war is
a war of the masses; it can
only be waged by mobilizing
the masses and relying on
them."
* -)(- *
"Without a people's army
the people have nothing."

"Reading is learning, but
applying is also learning
and the more important
kind at that, Our chief
method is to learn warfare
through warfare, A person
who has no opportunity
to go to school can also
learn warfare -- he can
learn through fighting in ,
war. A revolutionary war
; is a mass undertaking; it
is often not a matter of
first learning and then
doing, but of doing and
then learning, for doing
itself is learning."
