Black Panther Party Program
Black Panther Party Program: What We Want - adopted 1966
- We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our
Black Community.
- We want full employment for our people.
- We want an end to the robbery by the CAPITALISTS of our Black
Community.
- We want decent housing, fit for shelter of human beings.
- We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of
this decadent American society. We want education that teaches us our
true history and our role in the present-day society.
- We want all black men to be exempt from military service.
- We want an immediate end to POLICE BRUTALITY and MURDER of black
people.
- We want freedom for all black men held in federal, state, county
and city prisons and jails.
- We want all black people when brought to trial to be tried in court
by a jury of their peer group or people from their black communities,
as defined by the Constitution of the United States.
- We want land, bread, housing, education, clothing, justice, peace.
And as our major political objective, a United Nations-supervised
plebiscite to be held throughout the black colony in which only black
colonial subjects will be allowed to participate, for the purpose of
determining the will of black people as to their national destiny.
