These documents pertain to the Philadelphia branch of the National Black Independent Political Party and consist of two sets of minutes, two letters, agendas, and a flow chart with an organization structure explanation. The two-page, first set of minutes, are from the first meeting of the Organizing Committee of the National Black Independent Political Party, held December 13, 1980 at the Holy Cross Church at 63rd and Malvern Avenue in Philadelphia. The second two-page set of minutes are of the second meeting, held on December 20, 1980, at Canaan Baptist Church in Philadelphia. A one-page letter, dated January 15, 1981, stating the agenda for the Saturday, January 24, 1981 meeting, is from Sandra Muhammad Sabree to “Dear Brothers and Sisters.” The other letter, dated February 17, 1981, is from Cynthia Moultrie and Gregory Tisdale, Co-Conveners, Membership Committee, to “Dear Brothers/Sisters,” and announces an Orientation event to be held February 21, 1981 at the John Gloucester House, 22nd and Federal Streets in Philadelphia. This letter is followed by a four-page proposed agenda, program, a listing of party committees, and their responsibilities, and a list of special caucuses and their roles. There is also a flow chart, depicting the “Proposed Interim Organizational Structure,” followed by five pages, explaining the Functions/Responsibilities of the Interior Organizational Structure Components.
This new collection of essays, contributed by scholars and former Panthers, is a ground-breaking work that offers thought-provoking and pertinent observations about the many facets of the Party. By placing the perspectives of participants and scholars side by side, Dr. Jones presents an insider view and initiates a vital dialogue that is absent from most historical studies.
