MICHAEL ZINZUN: GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Sunday, July 10 2006

Sunday morning Michael Zinzun of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Black
Panther Party died in his sleep. At this time the cause and funeral
arraignments are unknown.

Michael Zinzun, our brother, comrade, and friend is now among the
Ancestors. Michael continued the struggle, it was not about fame or
recognition for him it was about social justice for the oppressed.

Michael was the conscious of the Los Angeles Panthers, we could not
sit in his face and go down memory lane, without having put something
in the pot AND CONTINUALLY WORKING to nullify social injustice. Our
brother was about the business of people.

Michael's passion did not have social or geographical boundaries, he
possessed the orator skills of Malcolm, the fearlessness of Steve
Biko, the determination of Che, he welcomed a battle as Crazy Horse
did, he was and will always be the example for generations to follow.

Say what you will about Michael, but be generous in your tales of his
work ethics in the struggle of oppressed people worldwide.

To the family of Brother Comrade Michael, we thank you for sharing
him with us.

To all our comrades, please come from far and near, to honor our
comrade. To the many gang members that he worked with and for, honor
him as one of your own.

WE MUST GIVE OUR BROTHER COMRADE
A HOMEGOING THAT WILL BE RMEMBERED
UNTIL THE END OF TIME. As Michael would say, in his deep booming
voice, "POWER TO THE PEOPLE"

CONTACT INFORMATION AND FUNERAL ARRAIGNMENTS
WILL BE EMAILED TO YOU
AS SOON AS IT IS RECEIVED.
