“Malcolm asked the Black American: Who taught you to hate yourself? Who taught you to be a pacifist? Was he a pacifist? Who said Black people cannot defend themselves? Does he defend himself? Who taught you not to go too far and too fast in your fight for freedom? Did he stand to lose something by the speed of your victory? Who taught you to vote for the fox to escape the wolf? What does the fox give in return?

…Malcolm always sought to expose those who were responsible for really maintaining the racism of this society rather than directing his fire at the puppets. He never tired of explaining and demonstrating that it was the federal government headed by the president that was responsible for maintaining racism in the North and South. He point out that LBJ’s closest friends in the Senate, Richard Russell, was leading the fight against the civil rights bill. Malcolm was challenged by a reporter who doubted that Johnson’s friendship with Russell proved anything. Malcolm looked at him with his usual smile and said, off the cuff, ‘If you tell me you are against robbing banks, and your best friend is Jesse James, I have grounds to doubt your sincerity.’

The final point in his political development which was so important was Malcolm’s revolutionary internationalism. Malcolm gave at least three reasons for his international outlook. First, was the common identity of the power structure which practiced racism in this country and which practiced imperialism abroad. Second, only through Afro-Americans realizing that they were part of a great majority of non-Whites in the world who were fighting for and winning freedom, would Black people have the courage to fight the battle for freedom at home by whatever means necessary. Last, was the fact that freedom could only be won everywhere. In Africa, Malcolm said, ‘Our problem is your problem…your problem will never be fully solved until and unless ours are solved. You will never be fully respected, until and unless we are also respected. You will never be recognized as free human beings until and unless we are also recognized and treated as human beings.”

- Raymond Lewis, The Black Panther, May 19, 1970

Join us for a day of education, food, and fellowship as we commemorate the legacy of Bobby Hutton and the closing of Happy Birthday Oscar. RSVP LINK IN BIO.

Lil Bobby Hutton was the first recruit of the Black Panther Party. He served in many capacities, including as their Treasurer and participating in the famous protest of the Mulford Act at the California state capitol. He was tragically killed by Oakland Police Department just shy of his 18th birthday, also becoming the first life taken in the Party. Every year we gather to reflect, share, and reinvigorate the revolution Lil Bobby Hutton started with speeches, films, and performances.

This event coincides with the closing of Happy Birthday Oscar, our seminal exhibit commemorating what would have been the 40th birthday of Oscar Grant, whose life was taken by BART police in 2009.

“The only ones who crave war and do not want peace are certain monopoly capitalist groups in a handful of imperialist countries that depend on aggression for their profits.”

“America will not be able to fight every Black country in the world and fight a civil war at the same time. It is militarily impossible to do both of these things at once.”
