Washington Free Press (1968)

This is a complete transcript of Stokely Carmichael’s speech at the Oakland Auditorium February 17, 1968. The occasion was a benefit birthday party for Huey P. Newton, Minister of Defense of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense. Newton is awaiting trial on charges of killing a white Oakland policeman.
The speech as it appears in cold print lacks both the rhetorical devices and the genuine emotion of the speech as delivered—which was magnificent.
The general sentiment of the staff people who heard the tape in our office was “Too bad he’s so groovy.” We hope to have a more thorough critique in the near future.
