		Alston is the former northeast coordinator for Critical Resistance, a current member of Estación Libre, and is on the board of the Institute for Anarchist Studies.
		Alston rejects traditional anarchist dogma and says "Every time I hear someone talk about my people as if we are just some "working class" or "proletariat" I wantto get as far away from that person or group as possible, anarchist, Marxist, whatever" (Beyond Nationalism, but Not Without It (http://www.anarco-nyc.net/anarchistpanther/writing4.html)).
		While Alston supported a nationalist position in the first issue of his publication, it was a far milder version of the position Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin has taken and Alston cannot be seen as totally supporting nationalism or trying to purge anarchism of "non fl people".

		Alston recently returned from a six-month visit to Chiapas, Mexico, the Zapatista-controlled region, and his talk revolved around his own life and the lessons to be learned from the indigenous communities of Chiapas.
		Alston quickly learned that while "the gun was a tool, and we did receive weapons training," the organizing, the hard work to serve the fl community with lunch programs and clothing programs and the political education that new recruits received were more important aspects of their training.
		Alston stressed to the roughly 70 people in attendance that, despite his history as a soldier with the Liberation Army for 12 years and as a prisoner for 14 years after his part in a bank robbery to fund the army, he is still "just a regular guy."

	Ashanti - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ashanti, Adansi, Akyem, Assin, and Denkyira peoples of Ghana, like the Baule of Ivory Coast, are subgroups of the West African Akan nation said to have migrated from the vicinity of the north-western Niger River after the fall of the Ghana Empire in the 1200s.
		Synonymous with the Ashanti is the legend of the 'Golden Stool' (sika 'dwa), the legend actually tells of the birth of the Ashanti kingdom itself.
		Of particular note was Ashanti's Foreign Office based in Kumasi; despite its small size, the Ashanti Foreign Office allowed the state to pursue complex arrangements with foreign powers, and the Office itself contained separate departments for handling relations with the British, French, Dutch, and Arabs individually.

		Together, Estremera, Alston and Haskins have spent more than 35 years in prison for various crimes, including armed robbery, that they committed as members of the Black Liberation Army, the guerrilla wing of the Panthers.
		In Alston's case, that included trying to spring members from New York City's formidable Tombs prison with an acetylene torch, only to run out of fuel with inches left to go before finishing the escape hole.
		The Panthers, said Alston, appealed to those in the fl underclass who had felt left out of earlier civil rights movements, which had been led by the fl middle class and emphasized assimilation or nonviolent protest to achieve racial equality.

	The Tartan Online : Letter to the Editor
		The Ashanti Alston event happened in the post-Shabazz atmosphere not because of the input from university officials, but in spite of it.
		The most surprising aspect of my closed-door meetings with university officials was a concern that Ashanti might discuss Israel, because they had circumstantial evidence that Ashanti supported the Palestinian right to self-determination.
		I wish to make this clear: Just because Ashanti was able to speak does not mean that everyone, in practice, has freedom of speech on our campus.

	The College Hill Independent - Journey to the Center of the Junta
		In a presentation last year in New York City, Ashanti Alston, former Black Panther, spoke about his experiences visiting the EZLN: “it has not adopted a Vanguardist, Political Partyist, modern pre-packaged all-answered approach to revolution.” He had gone to Chiapas through Estación Libre, a US-based People of Color Collective.
		I found what Alston said to be intriguing: the Zapatistas don’t have a leader who fights for them the way Ché or other party politicians have claimed to do, and the EZLN doesn’t try to steer the Revolution, the way a “vanguardist” movement does.
		Estación Libre grew out of the 1997 Chican@-Zapatista Encuentro, where Chicana and Chicano delegates realized upon their arrival in Chiapas that international solidarity work was dominated by a strong presence of white European activists.
