<strong>of</strong> THE .HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) reflecting the merger <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Black</strong> Pan»<br />
then <strong>Party</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>California</strong> and THE HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) loca»<br />
ted in southern <strong>California</strong> .<br />
The primary purpose <strong>of</strong> THE HOUSE OF UMOJA (UNITY) as its traditional<br />
name implies, is designed to bu:!ld a nation <strong>of</strong> <strong>Black</strong> people whose love<br />
and unity is so strong and tight that no poison will be able to con-<br />

We believe, Brothers and Sisters, that we must come together because<br />
our ancestors demand that we raise their pure <strong>Black</strong> Souls on to the<br />
vestibule <strong>of</strong> the good <strong>Black</strong> dirt and above the white stench <strong>of</strong> sunken<br />
slave ships, haunted plantations and corrupt, dirty cities . We must<br />
create a Love Supreme, a whirlwind which a UNITED <strong>Black</strong> man will rele-<br />
gate to .the ashes <strong>of</strong> oblivion the evil vibrations <strong>of</strong> western white<br />
decadence which will not let our ancestors partake in the music and<br />
,,joys <strong>of</strong> eternal happiness . In a word, this 3s what THE HOUSE OF UMOJA<br />
