The Black Panthers speak
Synopsis
This collection presents the essential documents and voices of the Black Panther Party, from its founding by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale in 1966. It separates philosophy from propaganda, including their seminal treatise "What We Want, What We Believe." Featuring excerpts from The Black Panther newspaper, cartoons, flyers, and articles, the book offers a glimpse into the black consciousness of the late 1960s through the words of leaders like Eldridge Cleaver, Fred Hampton, and Erica Huggins.
