BLACK POWER : PAGE 21
INTRODUC IN(a TH~~~b?US~ ,~F*~ . .(.IINITY )
Beginning with this issue of Black Power ; , becom es the offical organ
of THE .HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) reflecting the merger of the Black Pan»
then Party of Northern California and THE HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) loca»
ted in southern California .
The primary purpose of THE HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) as its traditional
name implies, is designed to bu:!ld a nation of Black people whose love
and unity is so strong and tight that no poison will be able to con-
taminate the Black rhythm for unity and liberation .
We believe, Brothers and Sisters, that we must come together because
our ancestors demand that we raise their pure Black Souls on to the
vestibule of the good Black dirt and above the white stench of sunken
slave ships, haunted plantations and corrupt, dirty cities . We must
create a Love Supreme, a whirlwind which a UNITED Black man will rele-
gate to .the ashes of oblivion the evil vibrations of western white
decadence which will not let our ancestors partake in the music and
,,joys of eternal happiness . In a word, this 3s what THE HOUSE OF UMOJA
tUNITY) stands for .
