Newton, who drafted the party's "Ten Point Program" with a list of "What We Want" and explanations of the demands under the heading "What We Believe".  Seale and Newton chose the name and logo after getting mail from a similarly named organization in Lowndes County, Alabama.
  One year to the day after her first performance for the rock group The Great Society, singer Grace Slick made her first appearance with Jefferson Airplane, beginning a twenty-year career that would see the group rise to international commercial success.  In her debut with Jefferson Airplane, at The Fillmore in San Francisco, she replaced Signe Anderson.
  In two associated referenda in Switzerland, voters were asked whether they approved of an amendment to the constitution on Swiss citizens living abroad and a popular initiative "for the fight against alcoholism". The constitutional amendment was approved while the popular initiative was rejected.
