Social Justice and Economic Development for the African Community:
Why I became a Revolutionary
(1997, 28 page pamphlet)

In this concise pamphlet Chairman Yeshitela gives an autobiographical account of how he came to the conclusion that he must dedicate his life to the struggle for African freedom. Written after the St. Petersburg, Florida police murder of an African teenager during a traffic stop and subsequent rebellions, Yeshitela presents concrete proposals for black community economic development as opposed to the failed policies of police containment and brutality which plagues African communities throughout the U.S. This piece appeared first as a lengthy article written by Yeshitela in the St. Petersburg Times.

The Dialectics of Black Revolution:
The Struggle to Defeat the Counterinsurgency in the U.S.
(1997, 39 page pamphlet)

This popular and very relevant pamphlet reveals the "dialectical relationship between our own [African] impoverishment and the wealth and well-being of white people." The Chairman's Dialectics challenges the old time-worn formula for the development of capitalism that has been put forward by the white left and exposes it as white nationalist, colonialist and incorrect. Chairman Yeshitela then documents how the African community today is the target of a U.S. government counterinsurgency war which is responsible for the police containment policies that justify the police murders and brutalization of black people.
