Oakland News Now – H. Rap Brown, Stokely Carmichael rally in Oakland Auditorium (1968) – video made by the YouTube channel in the video’s upper left hand corner.
KQED News report from February 17th 1968 at the Oakland Auditorium, featuring excerpts from speeches on Black Power and African American self-determination by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (H. Rap Brown) and Kwame Ture (Stokely Carmichael). These are delivered as part of the Huey P. Newton birthday rally, to protest Newton’s arrest and imprisonment in 1967. Al-Amin states that: “Unlike America would have us believe, the greatest problem confronting this country today is not pollution and bad breath. It’s black people! … You see that’s just one of the big lies that America tells you and that you go for because you’re chumps!” Ture instructs the audience that: “We must first develop an undying love for our people … an undying love as is personified in brother Huey P. Newton … If we do not do that, we will be wiped out.” Opens with a brief glimpse of Al-Amin, Ture and James Forman on-stage together. It should be noted that Al-Amin was the chairman of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC); Forman was the international affairs director of SNCC and the group’s former executive secretary and Ture was the former chairman of SNCC, who, during this rally, was appointed as the honorary prime minister of the “Black Nation” (the Oakland-based Black Panther Party (BPP).The magnetic sound recording for this clip has deteriorated and there is minor background distortion throughout. Thanks to historical researcher and consultant Paul Lee for providing background information on Al-Amin and Ture’s political philosophy.

Note from Zennie62Media and OaklandNewsNow.com : this video-blog post demonstrates the full and live operation of the latest updated version of an experimental Zennie62Media , Inc. mobile media video-blogging system network that was launched June 2018. This is a major part of Zennie62Media , Inc.’s new and innovative approach to the production of news media. What we call “The Third Wave of Media”. The uploaded video is from a YouTube channel. When the video is “liked” by Zennie62 YouTube, then it is automatically uploaded to and formatted automatically at the Oakland News Now site and Zennie62-created and owned social media pages. The overall objective here, on top of our is smartphone-enabled, real-time, on the scene reporting of news, interviews, observations, and happenings anywhere in the World and within seconds and not hours – is the use of the existing YouTube social graph on any subject in the World. Now, news is reported with a smartphone and also by promoting current content on YouTube: no heavy and expensive cameras or even a laptop are necessary, or having a camera crew to shoot what is already on YouTube. The secondary objective is faster, and very inexpensive media content news production and distribution. We have found there is a disconnect between post length and time to product and revenue generated. With this, the problem is far less, though by no means solved. Zennie62Media is constantly working to improve the system network coding and seeks interested content and media technology partners.
