Also, to develop our skills to the extent that we will be able to pass on our talents and give inspiration to younger people. Always keeping in mind this one fart: our main goal is to rebuild the ghettos and its people into modern progressive communities. To teach our members the history of our people in general, and history in rela lion to our contributions and influences on the American nation. Our need for more education, so we will be able to guide our own destinies in this com plex technological society. To establish com munication with outside groups who will be of benefit in helping us to achieve our goals. Also, in the hope of making ourselves useful to help outside groups in any way we can. To strengthen their efforts to bring to our people a solid foundation on which to build a unified and progressive coalition. To date Uhuru projects have been rich and a re warding experience for all who have been involved in them. The Public Relations Committee reported “Still we would like to give more, and gain more experience from working in more commun! ties. We need to keep in volved within the commun! ties as much as possible, because once an individual loses contact with the free people he also loses some of his identity.

Then to help other people as they had been helped." Knowing freedom depended on their actions, they agreed that: The primary objective of Uhuru would be to provide an atmosphere in whirh its members may come together collectively toward construe live solutions to the social pressure and problems of incarceration, as well as to provide an atmosphere in which members may work to develop such social skills as will enable them to be assets to their own community upon their return. They are also concerned snd involved with community problems, and in particular those of young people en gaged in the education ex perienre and adjustm ent problems. Their objective in the Edu rational System with the communities is in fact two fold: One, to provide stu dents with a communicant with whom they may com munirate their problems, and hopefully to provide some socially acceptable m eans of resolving them; and two, to contribute to the resocializa tion of the members by pro viding them with the oppor tunity to participate in the activities of the communities, and hopefully reducing the sense of social isolation that comes from living in a to tally institutionalized envir onment. The Public Relations Com mittee of the Uhuru Organ! ration, in accordance with I the stated goals of the Uhuru Organization By-Laws, set forth that: It is our desire and duty as members of the Uhuru Or ganizalion to help prepare ourselves for our return to society. The means that we utilize to attain these ends are as follows: To develop our members into leaders, so that they will be of service within their communities. To awaken their sense of community to the extent that they will understand the process of politics, economics and social consequences.
