Herman Ferguson
Herman Ferguson was a prominent member of Malcolm X's
Muslim Mosque Inc. and later his Organization of Afro-American
Unity (OAAU). Malcolm X created both organizations in 1964, after
leaving the Nation of Islam. Ferguson met Malcolm after he and
other African-Americans in Queens set up the Rochdale
Movement, which sought to stop the construction of a new
housing development in Queens.
In 1959, New York City was set to erect Rochdale Village on the
site of the Old Jamaica racetrack in Queens, but word soon got
out that Blacks would not be hired to build the site and would be
excluded from living in any of the developments' soon-to-be
available 5,280 apartments. The Rochdale Movement couldn't halt
the construction of the development, but it went on to become a major voice on issues of
economic and community development for Blacks in Queens.
The Rochdale Movement caught the attention of Nation of Islam members working in
Queens. So when Ferguson attended one of Malcolm X's services at his Mosque No. 7 in
Harlem and then asked if Malcolm would be interested in coming to speak at a rally in St.
Albans, Queens, the minister welcomed the invitation." (Source: "Exile is Death" by

NEW AFRIKAN LIBERATION FRONT IS LAUNCHED

NALF

Black Nationalist Organizations Unite at Historic Atlanta Summit

After two years of negotiation, representatives of several political prisoner defense

committees, women's groups, labor organizations, human rights groups and community-
based formations met in Atlanta, Georgia, on August 18-19, 1995, to hammer out a set of
working principles and agendas to unite the various Black nationalist political tendencies
within the U.S.

The New Afrikan Liberation Front (NALF) is in many respects the response to the political
demand made by such celebrated Republic of New Afrika , Black Panther Party, and
Black Liberation Army prisoners of war as Dr. Mutulu Shakur, Sekou Odinga, Geronomo
Pratt, and Jalil Muntaqin. These freedom fighters called for the formation of an umbrella
3
RBG BLAKADEMICS February, 2010

organization which could coordinate the varied political activities of the constituent
bodies in what is often referred to as the Black nationalist community.

"The objective of the NALF is to politically engage and organize the nationalist
community into an effective foil to both Black liberal and Black conservative political
leadership today," explained Herman Ferguson, a founding member and head of the
Administrative Unit of the NALF. "We stand as a fighting political alternative to both the
Jesse Jacksons and the Clarence Thomas’s who we feel mislead and betray the political
aspirations of oppressed Black people in this country," Ferguson said. The NALF
coalesced around the slogan "Black Power, Land and Independence." As such, each
constituent member of the Front is committed to attaining "self-determination for the
descendants of enslaved Africans-whom the Front denotes as 'New Afrikans'-and
international recognition of the New Afrikan nation's right to sovereignty and political
independence."

The NALF will initiate its coordinated activities by launching a nationwide campaign to
pressure the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) to open congressional investigations
and hearings on the role of the FBI and other police agencies in the assault on the Black
Power Movement during the 1960s and '70s. Under the FBI's COINTELPRO (counter-
intelligence program) hundreds of Black activists across the U.S. were murdered, jailed,
or driven into political exile. COINTELPRO was a coordinated government campaign to
destroy the Black nationalist movement.

The NALF seeks internationally-recognized prisoner-of-war (POW) status for the scores
of activists who still remain behind bars today. It also demands amnesty for these
unjustly imprisoned Black men and women. "Given the congressional attention given the
FBI's botched raid on the white supremacist encampment of Randy Weaver-the
government granted a $3 million our-of-court settlement for the killing of Weaver's wife
and son-Black legislators would be remiss in remaining silent about similar government
atrocities which were and continue to be deliberately carried out against Black activists,"
said Ferguson.

The NALF recently sent a representative to the Beijing, China, International Women's
Conference as part of its ongoing campaign to internationalize the struggle of Black
people in the U.S. and to expose the systematic human rights abuses perpetrated against
Black people here today. Likewise, the NALF has put its case before the United Nations
and human rights conferences in Europe and Africa.

The New Afrikan Liberation Front is optimistic about the outcome of its ongoing
activities. Explained Ferguson, "Many people believed that Eastern Europe would remain
under Soviet domination forever. But in the space of only a few years, nobody even
thinks about the Soviet Union anymore. It's gone. That tells us something. For just as the
U.S. had dominated New Afrikans, Indians, Puerto Ricans, Mexicans, Hawaiians, and
others for centuries, it doesn't have to be that way forever."Ferguson added that "If we
work hard and take care of the day-to-day needs of New Afrikans, while fighting for a
revolutionary nationalist political agenda, then we can win. There will be freedom for the
New Afrikan nation."

Principles of Unity of the NALF

1. Land.
The primary objective of the NALF is self-determination through a national liberation
struggle for land (territory within the historic southeastern Black Belt), independence and
reparations.

2. Who is the enemy?

For over 400 years, our nation has been enslaved, first by the European settlers in North
America, and currently we are colonized by the political descendants of those settlers,
represented by the government of the United States of America. We are united in fighting
for the destruction of imperialism and white supremacy, the twin evils of our national
oppression which is forced on our Nation by the U.S. imperialist State.

3. Self-defense/Armed Struggle.
We recognize the right to self-defense as well as the right to armed struggle for self-
determination.

4. Political Prisoners/POWs/Exiles.
We seek amnesty for prisoners of war, political prisoners, and exiles as a non-negotiable
self-determination demand.

5. Social liberation.
The fight against racial, sexist, class, and all forms of social oppression is fundamental
to New Afrikan/Black self-determination.

5
RBG BLAKADEMICS February, 2010

6. Unity and autonomy of organizations-methods of resolving contradictions.

We accept the leadership and discipline of the NALF as determined by a consensus of its
membership organizations.
The ideological integrity and autonomy of each organization within the NALF is mutually
respected. We will practice constructive criticism and self-criticism for the purpose of
resolving contradictions and internal differences.

7. A New Afrikan Consciousness Movement.

We recognize that culture is a weapon of resistance. In that light we are committed to
building a movement to develop the national consciousness and culture of the New
Afrikan people.

8. Our cultural symbols.

We recognize the Red, Black and Green flag, the new Afrikan creed, the New Afrikan
Declaration of Independence and the Code of Umoja as the unifying historical and
cultural symbols of our New Afrikan Liberation Front and our independence movement.

NEW AFRIKAN LIBERATION FRONT STATEMENT

TO
THE NEW AFRIKAN NATION
From:
The NALF Decision Making Body
April 11, 2000

All across the nation, Black people generally, and revolutionaries in particular, are under
attack by every branch of the enemy's law enforcement troops. Our nation is clearly
under a state of siege unparalleled in recent memory. Our political prisoners and
prisoners of war languish in our enemies prisons, many of them well into their third
decade of incarceration with no indication that amnesty or clemency will be offered
during their lifetime.
Albert Noah Washington is dying of terminal cancer in a New York State prison. Yet the
governor refuses to commute his sentence to time served so he can spend his last few
weeks with his family. Mumia Abu-Jamal continues to fight valiantly for his life from
death row in Pennsylvania. Low level warfare increases in intensity both behind the walls
and outside the walls and the casualty rate grows larger with each passing day.

The recent move on our revered senior freedom fighter Brother Jalil Al-Amin is a clear
indication that the government's Cointelpro is still alive and more vicious than ever.
Freedom Fighters are its number one target with the Black Liberation Movement and the
New Afrikan Independence Movement receiving the full force of its military machinery.
Brother Al-Amin was closely identified with that period of time when the Black Nation
was up in arms and the battle cry was "Burn Baby Burn!" Although Brother Al-Amin has
utilized his talents for the past 32 years in building a self-reliant Muslim community in
Atlanta, Georgia, the Cointelpro had marked him as a revolutionary leader, and this label
was to remain with him, in their assessment, for all of his natural life. This accounts for
the continuous surveillance he has been kept under, and the attempts at entrapment,
which he has so skillfully avoided, until recently. As far as the enemy is concerned they
have finally brought down a potential revolutionary messiah who, if he decided, could re-
appear on the scene firing up the masses and re-invigorating the old battle cry "Burn
Baby Burn!" One of the major goals of the Cointelpro was to keep any charismatic
revolutionary leader fro emerging who could galvanize and organize the masses of Black
folks into a revolutionary army capable of waging a national liberation struggle. This
move on Brother Al-Amin drives home the point that once targeted by the government's
Cointelpro, there is no let up until the targeted person has been rendered null and void.
The strategy of the enemy has taken on a new dimension.

The counterintelligence program that has worked so well in our community since the
1920's, relying largely on the cooperation of an army of negro snitches, is no longer
producing the desired results, as the masses of our people have begun to become more
politically astute and more determined to express their simmering anger through
organized self-defense tactics that Malcolm X spoke about. Because of this new
awakening, these Judas goats can no longer be relied on by their white masters to keep
the New Afrikan Independence Movement contained. The unleashing of the police on the

7
RBG BLAKADEMICS February, 2010

Black communities across amerika has signaled that the war has moved to a more
virulent stage where the police have been tasked with provoking our people into a
spontaneous reaction which will result in the use of the army, with its more
processionally trained killers, to destroy our growing national liberation movement, In
the face of all the evidence, which clearly shows our Black Nation is facing a military
crisis, the New Afrikan Liberation Front takes the position that our nation cannot put any
trust or reliability in slave mentality politicians, weak-kneed preachers,
accommodationists, collaborationists, integrationists, or any of the turn-the-other-cheek
organizations to speak for us. These individuals and organizations are traitors and
lackeys for their slave masters. They sell us out for a few crumbs and access to the 6
o'clock news where they buck dance and brown nose for all to see.

We feel that it is only the New Afrikan Liberation Movement (NAIM), that can speak for the
masses of our people. The people want liberation. So does the NAIM. The people want
self-determination. So does the NAIM. The people want the capability to defend
themselves against police invasion and terror. So does the NAIM. The people want land
and a government that they control. So does the NAIM. The National Liberation Front
applauds these demands and is a part of the struggle to make them a reality. The New
Afrikan Liberation Front is fully committed to supporting Brother Al-Amin in any way the
New Afrikan Independence Movement and the brother himself call for. He has been a
staunch and consistent defender of the right of Black people to self-defense and self-
determination. Never once has he compromised these principles. His love for his
brothers and sisters has never wavered over the past 32 years.

We call on all conscious New Afrikans to support Brother Al-Amin unconditionally.

Organize People's Militias in every Black community.
Defeat this new wave of state terrorism.
Take back our streets.

FREE THE LAND!
