The Role of the Church and the Survival Program, 1973
Scope and Contents
Three, long mimeographed sheets, stapled at the top. Np [Oakland, circa 1973.] The Black Panthers produced a series of "Survival Programs" from 1972 to 1981, designed for the Black community. Some of the issues covered were classes to correct revisionist portrayals in white textbooks, public health initiatives like breakfasts for children and sickle-cell anemia testing, and the church as a platform for survival. In this bulletin Newton addresses the role the church has played in social change, first in Christianizing slave populations and then in a second more militant period beginning with Nat Turner.
