FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

FEBRUARY BUSY MONTH FOR JERSEY PANTHERS

February, Black History Month 2005, looms to be a busy month for the New Jersey’s chapters of the New Black Panther Party.
On Tuesday, February 1st, Essex County Anti-Violence Coalition will host a press conference and rally at Newark City Hall, 920 Broad Street,Room B29, sounding the drum for the kickoff of their Stop The Violence Bus Tour. Minister Zayid Muhammad, the Party’s flaming national minister of culture, will be among many of the coalition’s leaders on hand on hand to sound the drum.
The Stop The Violence Tour, a product of the initiative and vision of its chairman Abdul Muhammad, will visit a different city plagued by street violence on an ongoing basis for several months. The Tour will begin in Trenton on Monday, February 7th at Mount Zion AME Church, 135 Perry Street, at 7p.m. Divine Allah, the Party’s bold young national youth minister and longtime Trenton resident, will represent the Party at the groundbreaking event. The Tour will be in Newark on May 9th at the Queen of Angels Church.
On Thursday, February 17th, the Newark chapter will host a commemorative teach-in on both the Black Panther Party and the New Black Panther Party, called simply “For Huey, Kwame and Khallid.” February 17th is the birth anniversary of the legendary Huey P. Newton. February 17, 1968 was the day that marked the merger of the Black Panther Party and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), then led by the immortal Kwame Ture, the former Stokely Carmichael. Khallid Abdul Muhammad, the first and pioneering chairman of the New Black Panther Party, passed away on February 17, 2001.This will be held at Waset Kommuniversity, 271 So. 9th Street, Newark at 7p.m.
On Friday, February 25th, the Party’s Newark chapter will host another hardhitting Town Hall Meeting. This forum will bring together the cutting edge issues of street violence, police brutality and preparations for the Million Man March 10th anniversary rally. It will take place at Weecquahic High School’s auditorium at 7p.m. The panel will include local leaders like Ras Baraka, Lawrence Hamm, Khasekhmwy and Abdul Muhammad, among others. It will be keynoted by the blazing attorney at war, Malik Zulu Shabazz, national chairman of the New Black Panther Party and co-convener of the Million Man March 10th anniversary mobilization.
Admission to both of these events is free.
In the wake of the police killing of Brian Fillmore, an unarmed civilian, the Party will continue its calls to have the Township of Irvington empanel a civilian review board as was mandated by its city council several years ago and continue its call for the firing of Newark police officer Thomas Duarte who was responsible for the killing of Michael Newkirk.
“There will be nothing frivolous or entertaining about the work of the New Black Panther Party during this Black History Month,” explained Zayid Muhammad, the party’s lead official in the Newark area. “Standing on the shoulders of our boldest ancestors, we intend to raise the volume and seize the time, just as they did before us.”
