May 15, 1967, The Ten-Point program was released in the second issue of the party's weekly newspaper, "The Black Panther". All succeeding 537 issues contained the program, titled "What We Want Now!."
The Ten-Point Program or The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense Ten-Point Platform and Program is a party platform written by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966 for the Black Panther Party.
The Ten Point Program comprised two sections: The first, titled "What We Want Now!" described what the Black Panther Party wants from the leaders of American Society.
The second section, titled "What We Believe," outlines the philosophical views of the party and the rights that African Americans should have, but are denied. It is structured similarly to the United States Bill of Rights of the U.S. Constitution.
"What We Believe" expands on the first section, making demands of what will be deemed sufficient payment for the injustices committed against the Black Community.
What We Believe:
We believe that Black People will not be free until we are able to determine our own destiny.
We believe that the federal government is responsible and obligated to give every man employment or a guaranteed income. We believe that if the White American businessmen will not give full employment, the means of production should be taken from the businessmen and placed in the community so that the people of the community can organize and employ all of its people and give a high standard of living.
