Re Detroit letter, dated 6/20/69, and Bureau
letter, dated 7/3/69.
Detroit proposes utilizing tbe following counter-
intelligence technique as a disruptive measure witbin the
Detroit Black Panther Party (BPP). The counterintelligence
technique would be in the form of an anonymous letter sent
to a representative number of Detroit BPP leaders and members.
{- This letter will be signed "A Concerned SiS~" i th the
i expectation that it will cause suspicion of , a
. ,:- Detroit BPP leader, as the author of tbe Ie er. The letter
will read as follows:
I
, I , , "Dear Brothers and Sisters:
i
"Who's next? You, me, who knows. Do you
really believe Brother Baynham blew his brains
.
!
! out. Do you believe be shot the top of his head
'. ~
off and then took the time to hide the gun in n
safe hiding place so that the pigs COUldn't
!, find it. The pigs call it 'suicide' and none
of the local brothers or sisters challenge this.
Who's kidding who. Why was Brother Baynham's
1/
rich black blood splattered allover a dirty room I
in a lousy racist city. Was this 'suicide' and
the 'mercy killing' of one of our other brothers
in New Haven arranged by Chief Bxecutioneer
Hilliard. Why doesn't Chief Brother Hilliard speak
out on our lost brothers.

Copies of this letter w11l be sent to leaders
and members who would be most susceptible, based on
intelligence data received from Detroit sources. A copy
would also be Headquarters, San
Francisco,
This letter would be typewritten and prepared
on commercially purchased paper and mailed from one of the
more predominantly Negro populated communities in the Detroit
area. Every precaution will be taken to see that this letter
cannot be traced back to the Bureau. No action will be taken
in this matter pending receipt of Bureau authority.
San Francisco is requested to offer any suggestions
they may have regarding the advisability of submitting tbe
a bove Ie tter.

COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS

f
Enclosed for Bureau are three copies and for
Chicago one copy of xeroxed newsclipping from "1WHAAlHAD
SPEAKS".
BACKGROUND

.~ r ELIJAH MUHAMMAD, leader of the Nation of Islam,


has written a scathing article regarding beards which
appeared on Page 5 of the July 4, 1969 issue of "MUHAMMAD
SPEAKS". The article addresses itself to all Black Men
f, and attacks beards as "gerlll-carriers", "unsanitory" and
! "non-modern". The article is illustrated with a very
: ,r unflattering pidUte of a bearded Negro with flies buzzing
around his mouth.
I
i Many Black Militants throughout the United
'l;" .,~ "-I " prefer to

! RECOMMENDATION
f
St. Louis Division praposes that Chicago, who is
office of origin for the NOI, prepare reprints of the above
described article and mail it anonymously to all bearded
Black Militants throughout the United States. Should this
Suggestion be adopted, the Bureau would have to instruct
all divisions having Black militant activity to send the
names and addresses of all such bearded extremists to the
Ch icago Divis ion. , ' ·a~a.o~UI'" ATrACHED';"

It is anticipated that the wide dissemination of


t is article would increase irritation between the NOI and
a I other Black militant groups. It might injure the degree
of cooperation between these gruups and it should detract
from the favorable Ught which many BI~cks regard "MUHAMMAD
SPEAKS".

ReSLlet 7/16/69.·

Recommendation in relet that an article by Elijah


Muhammad. leader of the Nation of Islam (NOI), which appeared
in the 7/4/69 issue of "Muhanmad Speaks," be distributed to
all bearded black mlitants througbout the U.S., is not being
approved.

You have indicated that dissemination of this


article. which is critical of the beards being worn by
black militants, would increase irritation between the
NOI and other black militant groups. You have also indicated
that it would injure the degree of cooperation between these
groups and the NUl and should detract from the favorable ligbt
which many blacks regard "Muhsmmad Speaks." Inasmuch as the
article has already appeared in the above-mentioned issue of
"Muhammad Speaks:' it is felt that fut-tIler distribution to
militant blacks would not have sufficient effect to justify
the expenses of the program.

- Chicago

Suggestion submitted by reSLlet is not being


~____~approved as the article described above has already been
Tol_ distributed in the newspaper ''Muhanunad Speaks." Further
:;:''-;-''-- dissemination of this article. which is critical of beards
~1s~--wtrn by black militants. is not felt justified.

. The discussion of the sbove mentioned documents
will pertain to the fact that they represent the true feelings
snd attitudes of the BPP toward the people of the community
and that the breakfast and luncheon program is just used by
the BPP as a vehicle to assemble and train children in the ..
, violent and subversive ideals ot that organizatio~.

mentioned proposed brought
to the attention of the n a
,j. general sense wIthout any
!, A. The possibility that the membership of the
NOI Mosque Number 7 located 1n Harlem, NYC, may
take exception to the facilities of a Roman Catholic
Church being used to··d 1spense the "Whi te Man's food"
to black children and may consequently resort to
violence in some form to stop this.
B. The ide~ that whatever food is being distributed
by the BPP most likely was obtained from local store
owners through open or subtle extortion methods.
'.
It is the opinion of the
"- proposal of a direct contact with the

,
!
I outweighs any attempt by anonymous or s
rupt the BPP in their breakfast for' children proBram be4mg
operated in All Saints Roman Catholic Church in New York City.

! .. The NYO feels that said proposal can be presented in


a manner which would show concern for the Church's position in
this sensitIve matter· without causing embarrassment to the Bureau,
It 1s hoped that the end result of thIs proposal would
be the withdrawal of the use of Church facilities by the BPP

Re Denver letter to the Bureau, dated 6/30/69.
Nothing has transpired with the BFP in Denver

There has been no BPP meetings since referenced
letter, however, some members are planning on traveling
to San Francisco for the conference, 7/18 to 22/69, if

y
funds can be ohtainerl. It is possible counterintelliRence 1 .
technique may be developed from this meeting.

Chicago has prepared three cartoons which are entitled
"The Taming of the Panther," "The Black Panther - House Cat
for the White Liberals" and "Follow Me." TIle first cartoon
portrays a member of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)
taming a wild Panther with a whip. The second cartoon portrays
a white leftist with a Black Panther as a house cat. The third
cartoon is the picture of an SDS member riding on the back of
a Panther yelling "Follow me." These cartoons were designed
to antagonize the BPP and points out that'the"White leftist
movement is leading them. Ve have been exploring the
posaibility of furnishing these cartoons on an anonymous
basis. Chicago recommends that anonymous copies be furnished

Since submission of last bi-weekly alrtel, 7/3/69

We can only presume the matter was effective because the BPP

Re San Francisco airtel, 6/5/69. f' ,:.
Enclosed for the Bureau is a copy of proposed let~r
and ajPfotostat of a handbill. lr"
.~ San Francisco has no Counterintelligence projects

~
presentlY under operation and there have been no accomplish-
ments in this field since submission of reairtel.
With the close of the school year the Breakfast for
Children Program (BCP) ceased operations in this area last
week except at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in San Francisco.
Inquiry at that church resulted in the receipt of information
that-the BCP would be continued as long as possible. The
BuUeau has been advised that health permits are not necessary

~
.~ those employed in this operation in San Francisco.

# The 6/1~/69 edition of "The Black Panther" appeared


.. without the name of STOKE LEY CARMICHAEL in the ma·sthead. The
. /'YpoSition of Prime Hinister was-set forth but no name appeared
below the title. Apparently CARMICHAEL has been read out of
the BPP and i t is not believed anything could be accomplished
at this time by direct.~ng a letter t~ him to that effect.

.. •

Bureau authority is requested for the following


ed~n1~er'lnltell:igl!nc:eprojects:
1. Inquiries have failed to indicate any further
distribution of the BPP Coloring Book in this area.
The Bureau has previously been furnished a copy of this book by
the Kansas City Division. Due to the parti.cular vicious nature
of the book it is believed that a normal person might become
incensed if he were to realize the. book might be used in connec-
tion with the BCP. We have received no definite information to
this effect. Nevertheless it is suggested that San Francisco
'be allowed to reproduce the copies of the coloring book by
.Xerox and mail them anonymously to persons who might take
!action to disrupt the BCP or at least cause them to refuse to
: offer cooperation to the BPP in the future •
. If permission is granted a copy of an unsigned letter
will be prepared on a personal typewriter. Paper and envelopes
utilized will be purchased locally and the letters will be
mailed from a Post Office near the recipient in order that no
connection can be made with the mailing and the FBI.
A copy of the proposed letter is included as an
enclosure.
Following are the proposed addressees:

-2-
· .
r ..,.

In the event this mailing is approved San Francisco


also requests permission to mail to the same individuals after
a week. interval, a copy of the handbill distributed by BPP at
picketing of Safeway Market and in another wee~ to the same
individuals, a current copy of "The Black Panther." It is
believed that fair appraisal of this material would convince
anyone of the unreasonable demands of the BPP and their violence
prone nature. A photostat of this handbill is also enclosed.
2. Bureau permission is also requested to make at least
five phone calls to both National Headquarters of
BPP at Berkeley and at San Francisco Headquarters. A different
A{nt will be utilized to make successive calls to each office.
I is contemplated the .caller will not identify himself but till

-3-
-

(
'

ask i f the BCP is in operation (at National Head QuarFr8


it in operation in Berkeley; and at San Francisco is it .
oD'er'ation at Sacred Heart). The caller will advise that he
. approached. for a donation the previous day or night and no ~.
names will be utilized. It will be explained that the caller
merely wants to verify if the solicitation the previous day ~
was legitimate.
It is felt these calls might cause some suspicion
that some of the members are pocketing donations for their
personal use. No names will be utilized.
Reference is made to Denver airtel, 6/9/69. San
Francisco feels obliged to point out the possible danger of
planting the idea in the BPP that a certain member, now
separated from the BPP, furnished information allowing the
successful apprehension'of two BPP members wanted for murder.
The fact that those people were wanted for murder indicates the
possibility of BPP taking violent action against this individual.
Even if such action could be justified against an active leader
it is not felt that Bureau should become even remotely involved
in furnishing anonymously incorrect information that might
lead to the homicide of a young teenager who has apparently
separated from the BPP.

Dear Sir:

I appreciate the necessity of both


educating and properly feeding the young people of
. our community. I also realize the good intentions
of so~e of the people who have aided in the Black
Panther Breakfast Program.

There is attached a coloring book prepared


by the Panthers for the indoctrination of those young
children. Are you able to review this book and then
conclude that aiding such a project is either a
legitimate charitable venture or of help to the young
impressionable people involved? Is not the price of
teaching youngsters to kill police officers too high
to pay for such a program?

RACIAL INTELLIGENCE
BLACK. PANTHER PARTY (BPP)

Re Bureau letter to San Francisco dated 7/2/69.


The above-referenced letter enclosed a copy of five
different articles for possible counterintelligence use. The
Indianapolis Chapter of the Black Panther Party (BPP) has in
recent weeks been collecting, or at least attempting to collect,
funds for the purpose of establishing a Breakfast Program to ~
help clean up their image in the community. As a result, at
least one church, the Second Christian Church, 130 West 29h
street, Indianapolis, has been contacted in an attempt by the
BPP to locate a place to have their Breakfast Program. The
U
church informed the BPP that if they desired to use the church
kitchen and facilities that the BPP would have to get certain
permits and licenses and that if the BPP would obtain them,
then they would consider letting the BPP use their facilities.
They have not been recontacted since that time by the BPP, but
anti~ipate being called upon again.

" It is also likely that the BPP might call upon several
other churches near their headquarters in looking for a place
for the Breakfast Program. It is felt that copies of the
articles enclosed in referenced letter would be most helpful in
discouraging these churches from allowing the BPP to use-their
facilities for the Breakfast Program.
The Indianapolls Division is therefore requesting four
copies of each article contained in referenced letter, on

We have previously furnished various field


.' ~. offices Xerox copies of newspaper articles Which appeared
In the BPP newspaper as well as one artiCle published by
the "United Press Internationa1." These articles pointed
out the hideous nature of the BPP and its "Breakfast for
Children" program. One of the articles described a
"Panther wedding" where the children sang songs like "Off
the Pig." Indianapolis has advised that the BPP is
, presently attempting to collect funds for the purpose of
establishing a breakfast program In Indianapolis and
have contacted several chur~hes in an effort to obtain
;. facilities for these breakfasts. Indianapolis has
j" recommended that copies of these articles be anonymously
;
mailed to the ministers of the churches. We are granting
,i this request but advising Indianapolis to mix-up the
;,
! 0' articles so that one would not think that: there was a
f concerted plan.in the mailings.

that the mailing could frighten the recipients into

consideration is being given toward an anonymous mailing to

believed that this is sufficient for the time being.
If the BPP starts the "Breakfast for Children

Re Jackson letter to Bureau 5/27/69.
The following items of counter-intelligence interest
are forwarded for info of the Bureau and receiving offices:
The Jackson Division on 7/30-31/69, conducted a
Police-Community Relations Two-Day Seminar at the Jackson
Police Academy under the sponsorship of the Jackson. Hiss ••
Police Department. Among topics discussed by FBI instructors
with the crowd of over 65 officers in attendance. were Black
Nationalist groups and the fact that police officers should
be alert to any criminal activities or acts of violence
perpetrated by Negroes affiliated with black extremist groups.
In the early morning hours. 7/31/69. two of the
officers who attended the .session on 7/30/69 were on duty
in the vicinity of a Negro ghetto area of Jackson. They
observed a 1960 Chevrolet with three bearded militant looking
Negro occupants cruising suspiciously in the vicinity of a
large gun shop in the ghetto area. The officers stopped this
car on a traffic violation. Subsequent inquiry by the officers
with the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) revealed
that the car was stolen from New Orleans. La •• on 7/29/69.
Officers in searching the car found a fully loaded .30 caliber
sem1~automatic M-l carbine and a bolt action rifle as well as
burglary tools. The three were booked on possession of burglary.

near normal after the riot situation of 1/13/69. Post mortem

PROPOSED COUNTERINTELLIGENCE
! AGAINST BPP CHAPTER,
KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Re Bureau letter, 7/2/69, with enclosures, to


San Francisco and various offices, Kansas City ietter,
7/22/69, to Bureau, and Bureau letter, 7/25/69, to Kansas -.
City. .-
Due to widespread national pUblicity given the
BPP Coloring Book, a careful study for some weeks in depth ,.
:i. of factors and personalities in Kansas City, Missouri,
r (site of the only Kansas City Division BPP Chapter and a
;:, past local Breakfast Program) suggests v~ry limited, if
not questionable or detrimental, effects from a counter-
intelligence distribution now of the BPP Coloring Book
and related national and local news items critical of the
BPP Breakfast Program.
-
The above conclusion is based on data, available ~
to the Kansas City Office, namely (1) no local or national
distribution of the Coloring Book, or of BPP propaganda for
chi~ren in connection with the Breakfast Program, is known .
or f>cumentable as proven; in fact, San Francisco report~ ~/"' .

are to the contrary, as wel~ as substantial proof of


publication or distribution of the Coloring Book or
such propaganda with approval and support of the national
BPP; (2) widespread national pUblicity as to the Coloring
Book and Breakfast Program are now "old hat" locally. An
anonymous attempt to couple the Coloring Book with the
discontj.Ilued Breakfast Program in Kansas City, Missouri,
-,i'S a counterintelligence action to educate key "naive"
Negro ministers who supported the Breakfast Program in
Kansas City, Missouri, based on the lack of proof mentioned
above, could backfire with defensive pUblicity.
Such types of defensive publicity are exemplified
by the attached copies of news items in the Kansas City
Times, 8/2 and 8/4/69, and'the Kansas City Star, 8/3/69,
daily Kansas City, Missouri newspapers.'
-, ,

Also attached is an article dated 7/10/69 from


.......
the Kansas City Star.
The Kansas City Division will be alert to recommend
counterintelligence action in future developing situations,
should the BPP "Breakfast Program", "Liberation Schools",
and "Health Clinics" resume, start or get underway.
With reference to Bureau letter 7/15/69, relative
to a counterintelligence proposal for utilizing a previously
submitted cartoon for anonymous distribution in the Kansas
City area, no recommendation is being made for such dis-
tribution at this time due to the summer cessation of the
Breakfast Program and the widespread sensational type of
pUblicity, attached, which should depict for intelligent
readers the true character of the BPPs. A recommendation as
to possible future distribution of such cartoons will be
made when it is considered timely.

August • 1969 .

----

I am sorry for not having written sooner, however, I


have expended considerable time and effort in gathering
facts concerning a matter which is of interest to all of
us who are alumni of Yale. Frankly, 1 am extremely alarmed
with our administration in allowing the BlackPanthers
to openly operate on campus.
A series of events have taken place in recent months
involving this organization which are repugnant to me;
however, because of my sensitive position, I am unable to
identify myself, and must remain anonymous.
Earlier this year, officials of our lledical School
invited representatives of the Black Panther organization
to participate in a lecture at Winslow Auditorium concerning
the Black Panthers a~, American health. During a dissertation
by two Panthers, a Mr. Gonzal vez and Mrs. Joh~ugg ins, those
in attendance were enco aged to support a Black Panther .
sponsored free medical clinic for colored people. In its
own right this would on the surface appear to be a generous
undertaking to the community by Yale. However, recent events
would indicate that this was merely a ploy by the Panthers
to cajole Yale into providing financial assistance to a
clinic which in the event of armed revolution would provide
secret medical care for wounded members of the Black Panther
Party. I feel this is well documented based on the following
informa tion.
On May 17th, a Black Panther all-day retreat was held
on the campus in Linsly-Chittenden Hall. It was attended
by approximately fifty persons from throughout the State
and was presided over by national leaders of the Black
Panther Party from California. RorY"l.Iithe gave a speec/t
f on the discipline and assassination ol'Black Panther inrormers.
Mrs.Huggins was also present. You will recall that her
former husband, Joh~uggins, Jr.,' was murdered in a racial
dispute at UCLA in Ja~y of this year. You will also
recall that Huggins' father is the Manager of the Fence Club.
,,!1}-'J~:~'.A /1', "/.; (r) ") (
.... _.-.' -,..-- ...... ~.~.-.~~-~

• •

-
During the evening of May 19th, with the permission of our
administration, Mr. Bobb~-seale, National Panther leader from
California, appeared atB~tel Chapel for a speech. He .
received several thousand dollars for this appearance. Men
and women who attended were searched for weapons at the door.
Throughout the speech, persons in the audience smoked, and
the speech by Mr. Seale was punctuated with numerous vulgarities
and obscenities of the worst sort. Among those in attendance
was our "Chaplain" Bil1'<.Coffin who appeared not to be the
least bit concerned by Seale's foul language.
I feel it is a sad day in America when an individual is
not allowed to enter a house of worship until searched and
a speaker is allowed to flagrantly use obscenities and four-
letter words before the altar of God. I am also distressed
to think that Yale would allow individuals of his calibre
on our campus. Certainly the administration was aware of
the past reputation of Mr.· Seale as well as known acts of
violence committed by the organization he represents.
On May 22nd, three days after Mr. Seale's appearance here,
the New Haven Police Department raided the Black Panther
headquarters in New lIaven and arrested three Panthers in
connection with the torture and murder of a reported Panther
from New York City. Subsequently, additional Panthers were
arrested and according to the local press the victim had been
held captive and tortured for several days prior to. his death.
Undoubtedly, Mr. Seale was in town at the time he was held
captive and possibly when he was murdered. Is it possible he
knew about this situation? I cannot help but wonder if he gave
the orders for execution.
I fail to understand the purpose of bringing these people
to our institution. Are they teaching or setting an example
for our youth who are very easily influenced at this age? Are
they here for .educational purposes? It appears Mr. Scale's
qualifications for teaching relate only to revolution and
violence. At one point in his speech he stated that the "kids"
have to be taught how to use guns so they can "kill the raclst
digs" when they come into their neighborhoods. Was .Ir. ·Seale
~ere to give guidance concerning poverty programs? During,
~is speech he did not present one single suggestion aimed at
overcoming our national or local poverty problems. In short,
, ., -

~.. r
he contributed nothing toward our educational processes.
No one in our community benefited from his appearance.
Most disappointing of all was the fact that the reputation
of Yale was tarnished by. this and other events. This reputation
was achieved through the efforts of great men like Hale,
Vanderbilt, Calhoun, Pierson and others and not the likes of
Mr. Seale.
I contend that the above events have brought immeasurable
notoriety to our institution. My advanced age and conservative
image leave me helpless - but the above events call for action
on the part of each and every thinking alumni. I feel great
damage has been done and unless appropriate steps are taken in
high places to prevent recurrences of similar situations, Yale's
reputation may be further tarnished. Of additional concern is
the fact that appearances of persons like Mr. Seale and the
offering of Yale facilities to militant groups such as his
could lead to violence and destruction not only in the community
but also on the Yale campus.
I submit this letter for your consideration. Yale is not
the first school to have been duped by these people. Possibly
you can help prevent further disasterous mistakes - poor and
weak decisions and "fuzzy" thinking by college administrators
throughout the country.
. Again my apologies for finding it necessary to remain
anonymous.
As always, "For God, For Country and For Yale," I remain,
Sincerely,
A Fellow Alumnus

indicate this, and this may be another reason why he cannot

Besides continuing his degenerate activities

sources close to Cleaver indicate he is mentally ill.

Sacramento has no counter-intelligence measure


contemplated at present. Referenced letter reflects that
attempts were b . made to work out a count Ugence
measure against fomer BPP in
. Sacramento who had recently left the Party. It was felt
that anonymous mailing directed to dissident Panther
members would possibly have the result of hel~
disrupt the BPP. However, an interview withllilllllwas
published in the local Negro newspaper which indicated
that he left the Party in their good graces and that there

We have previously authorized San Francisco to
anonymously mail copies of the BPP Coloring Book along 9ith a
particularly obnox10us issue of a Panther publication to
seven persons in the San Francisco area. These persons were
priests, ministers, and businessmen who bad cooperated with
tbe Black Panthers in the Panther "Breakfast for Children
Program." This was an attanpt to disrupt the Breakfast
Program and to prevent the formation of Panther "Liberation
Schools" wh1ch were being planned. As a continuing disruptive
technique permission is requested now to anonymously mail
cop1es of an article printed in a San Francisco newspaper by
. conservative writer 'llliam F. Buckley, 'Jr. This article
. points out the vicious nature of the Panthers and the
ridiculousness of the BPP Coloring Book. We are authorizing
this proposal. There is not a chance that the Bureau will be
Tol_
divulged as the source with resultant embarrassmeDt.

As noted in referenced letter, a press release


was made in Omaha on August 4, 1969, by Assistant
Chief of Staff JUNE HILLIARD, National Dlack Panther
Party, statinc that there no longer was Rn official
, .- . chapter of the Black Panther Party in 'Omaha.!. " and
't'll"' .. EDJ)lrBOLDEN had been expelled from the party and was
.~. .~.. '.: no longer connect~~~ !,1th the BW.
".

&,t'-fl~tSJi.-
Since that time
.'
. mveloped
information bas been
that HILLIARD, wbile in Omaha, gave instructions tbat two
.·f
"brothers" should be sent to Oakland, California, for
training however, tbese instructions were later changed
to send two ''brothers'' to Kansas City for training.
:.J,
'. "
Altbough the BPP in Omaba is considered defunct . '.:;,':'
by National Headquarters,it appears that tbis cbapter at .'
a future will be rei~iivated possibly under the leader-.
sbip of iii Ii ill!twho, according to Kansas
City, I ~ ~as City, Missouri, to attend
a BPP training school.
In view of the foregoing Omaha does not feel tbat
concrete recommendations could be made at the time re
counterintelligence measures aimed at crippling tbe
BW. .
This matter will continue to be closely followed
and suggestions for counterintelligence action against
the new BPP chapter, if formed, and its leade.rshi p , will J' '1

The Miami'Office continues to utilize interviews


with persons connected with the Black Nationalist movement
as counterintelligence measures.
III. TANGIBLE RESULTS

Interviews with persons known to be interested


in the establishment of a BPP group in the Miami area
no doubt has hampered efforts to organize this group.
Regular meetings of some of these people have ceased and
some have refused ~o have anything to do with the BPP
since being interviewed.
IV. DEVELOPMENTS OF COUNTERINTELLIGENCE INTERESTS

Some interviews with teen-agers of good families


who are interested in the Black Panther Party were conducted
in such a way so that their parents became aware of the teen-
a~crs interest in and sympathy towards the BPP. Their
parents have brought pressure against the teen-agers
making them cease any further BPP activity.

2) Operations Being Effected

3) Tangible Results
Interviews with members of the Youth Progressive

served as a disruptive factor of this group and contributed

SUBJECT: COUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM
BLACK NATIONALIST - HATE GROUPS
RACIAL INTELLIGENCE

A succinct summary of Black Nationalist Movement in


the Indianapolis Division follows:
A. Nation of Islam (NOI)
The NOI in tbe Indianapolis Division presently bas
approximately 160 members, whicb is a slight increase since
the date of the last letter. Temple Number 31 in South Bend,
Indiana, continues to be the largest having about 70 to 80
members. Mosque Number 33 at Gary, Indiana, is the second .
largest with 40 members, and Muhammad's Mosque in Indianapolis
is third largest with 27 members. Muhammad's Temple, East
Chicago, Indiana, has six members; Muhammad's Temple in
Evansville, Indiana, has five to six members; Muhammad's
Mosque of Islam in Fort Wayne, Indiana, bas five to six members,
while Muhammad's Mosque in Muncie, Indiana, is no longer meeting
for lack of a meeting place. The exact number of members
presently in Muncie, Indiana is unknown. Each of the mosques
or temples averages from four to seven visitors in addition
to the members at their meetings.
There are only two designated temples in the State
of Indiana those being Temple No. 31 in South Bend, and Mosque
No. 33 in Gary, Indiana. Known Muslim businesses now operate
at Muncie, and Indianapolis, Indiana. All of the leaders of
the temples and mosques in the Indianapolis Division continue
to adhere to the teachings of ELIJAH MUHAM~~D, their leader and

preach according to the following: the white race has upset


the peace of the Aboriginal People by exploitation, robber"
uraer and death, inasmuch. as it is the nature in which tbe,
tere Madej that the only white people who are allowed to use
ne of the names of AJ.LAB (GOD) are those who have accepted
Islamj that under Christianity 'the black brothers and sisters
will not go to heaven, but under Allab, you will bave beaven
right bere on earth.
No known or proposed violence or problems have been
caused by the NOI in the Indianapolis Division and their
potential does not seem a threat at this time. There is always
a possibility however that the NOI might change due to some
incident and cause trouble although not eXpected.
B. Radical Action Project (RAP)
. The Radical Action Project (RAP), also known as the
Black Radical Action Project, is located at 2264 North Meridian
Street, Indianapolis, Indiana. The RAP is presently without
funds, and the organization as
efune

Bookstore which.is owned by RAP. The bookstore is kept open
by them and occupies most of their time even though the bookstore
is not making money. Both individuals .are in a bad w~ for
funds f and !lm i

. IIIIIIIIIIIhas been speaking at various rallies, etc.,


and bas b~ for unity among the black groups and their
white allies, but bas been unsuccessful in uniting the groups.
RAP has operated within the existing legal structure and to
date has posed no real threat of violence. It presently
appears RAP will fold in the near future without funds.

The BPP has had problems financially since their
inception in Indianapolis and they presently have a conflict
in the Chapter over misuse of funds, violation of BPP rules
by members, and personality conflicts among leaders. As a
result, the Indianapolis Chapter is in a state of confusion
and members show distrust towards each other. The Chapter
has requested assistance from National BPP Headquarters and
two individuals from the Chicago Chapter of the BPP have been
sent to Indianapolis to help with settling disputes and
problems and to report to National Headquarters.
The BPP in Indianapolis, along witb a coalition of
the black groups in Indianapolis, has started a Breakfast for
School Cbildren Program, however the BPP has not been allowed
to teach BPP ideas and doctrine to the children and are not
allowed to put up posters, etc. by the other groups.
The BPP have not been responsible for any trouble
in Indianapolis to date; bowever, it is still felt that they
possess the most potential for violence of any of tbe black
groups. The BPP is followed regularly in a bi-weekly intelligence
letter.

-. 1. Operations Under Consideration I
r - i

t Interviewing all mcmbers of black extremist organizations


ctive and inactive members alike, will be continued, as l~ Is
cIt that this is the most productive method of producing '_
possible informants as well as a way of learning information
of value for intelligence purposes. While the BPP as a rule
will not talk to agents ~nd little success has been recognized
in recent attempts to interview BPP members, it does keep
the leaders of the' BPP worried and unsure if someone is talking
to the FBI and they do not know about it. Interview. of the
members also serves as a way to help determine the feeling in
the black community and to hclp evaluate individuals potential
for violence.
,
"

I
2. Operations'Belng Effected
Refinancing of RAP by the Episcopal Church was
discouraged and any sources of funds for RAP are being
discouraged causing RAP to continue in their financial troubles.
Anonymous mailings of several articles on the BPP breakfast
program and organization along with the BPP Coloring Book
were made to several ministers in the black community near
,., . BPP Headquarters to help discourage their support of a
t,
Breakfast for School Children Program run by the SPP.
In addition In all interviews attempts to intensify
the jealousy among various organizations and members are played
upon. This is serving to keep the black groups from uniting
whereby they might pose a more serious'threat to the peace
i, . and safety of the community.
,I 3. Tangible Results
,
;
. RAP is suffering from lack of funds and will logically
be folding in the near future. The BPP, along with the black
coalition, which is a group of black organizations, have
. started a Breakfast Program, however the BPP has heen allowed
only to help fix food and to clean up after the breakfast,' and
can not teach the children or display any posters, etc.,

ReWFOlet dated 6/2/69 and UFO airtel dated 8/22/69


to Bureau captioned "COINTELPRO - NEW LEF}".

In accordance with instructions set forth in Bulet


dated 3/4/68,·the following data is submitted:
I. OPERATIONS UNDER CONSIDERATION

/ As the Bureau is aware,"


of the Black United Front (BUF) in Uashington, D.
recently sent a letter to a representative of the New
Mobilization Camnittee against the \-Tar in Vietnam (NMC)
demanding tha t the Nt-IC maf.e a good fai th payment of
$25,000 to the BUF to obtain the support of the BUF for the
anti-war demonstration being planned by the NtIC for 11/15/69.
This demand of the BUF has caused considerable confusion in
the IlNC which is now divided into factions, one which opposes
any payment, the other which supports the idea of the :
payment. The Nt1C is further confused by the fact that it is
already in debt for previous anti-war demonstrations and
has no money readily available to make any payment to the " .
BUF. Fur~bers of the BUF Central Committee, who
supported_proposal to demand the money from If1C,
have privately agree~,according to UFO sources, to provide
only token assistance i f the money is paid by Nt·IC and to
oppose and work against the 11/15/69 demonstration if payment
is not made. ~I

• Two plans to exploit this situation in
. furtherance of the aims· of the counterintelligence program
were set out in re WFO airtel 8/22/69. In the event that
the plans as set forth do not meet the approval of the
Bureau, it is felt that a laissez faire approach will accomplish
the same result because there is certain to be ill will
between the various factions involved regardless of whether
payment is made or not. .

II. OPERATIOnS BEING EFFECTED

WFO is not currently effecting any operation under


the counterintelligence program.
III. TA..~GIBLE RESULTS

As the Bureau is aware, ,~O was closely followirg


the activi Ues of the Uni ted Black Brotherhood (UBB), an
organization originally formed b to be the i
Washington Chapter of the BPP but which fai
e~he BPP National Office.
~ subsequently took over group
that the UBB would be a front for the Black Guard (BG) of
the tiona or. Hovement (RAI1) •.
that UBB members were gOln~ond,
tEinfa to part in a demonstration there. ~
• tall b that some Breams would be taken by the group.
Cooperation bebleen the FBI and local authoriUes brought
about the arrest of thi.s group in Petersburg, Virginia, at
which time, four long guns were seized from the group.
Although charges against the group were subsequently dropped,
the fireams seized Were not returned.
