“What is the State? The State is this organized bureaucracy. It is the police department. It is the army, the navy. It is the prison system, the courts, and what have you. This is the State — it is a repressive organization.” Chairman Omali Yeshitela breaks down the colonial State. He shows us how and why the State is murdering our children and why we need Black Community Control of Police.

“On April 27th, 1962, Los Angeles police fatally shot Nation of Islam member Ronald Stokes. Officers mistook him and a group of Muslims removing clothes from a car outside a Los Angeles mosque for criminals. The conflict quickly escalated to a police raid inside the mosque, leaving a total of seven Muslims shot, one killed, and one paralyzed from a bullet wound to the back. Stokes’s death compelled Malcolm to engage in new dimensions of the black freedom struggle.” (From the article below)
