Bo Holmström:
What is the new policy of the Black Panthers now, in 1972?
Elaine Brown:
The policy isn't new. We like to say that we are returning to what we call our 'Original Vision'; which was to serve the people and to move the masses of our people - black and other oppressed people inside of this country - to the point of total liberation. What is new is that we have stopped becoming what we would call a 'Revolutionary Cultist Group'. We're not here to build heroic images that people can make posters out of, and that they can glorify. The point is for the struggle to be waged between the oppressed people and the oppressor - not between the Black Panther Party and the police.
Bo Holmström:
What do you think about Angela Davis? She's not from the Black Panther's Party.
Elaine Brown:
No, Angela, umm... Angela Davis is a very close friend of the Black Panther Party. She was a very good friend of mine, even prior to her being in the organization, the Communist Party - as she is now; and prior to my being in the Black Panther Party. She's always been very close and a very firm fighter, a very strong fighter for the people's liberation.
