Description
Here are Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, David Hilliard and Fred Hampton, along with Kathleen Cleaver and other Panther women. They tell of the party's court battles and acquittals; its positions on black separatism, the power structure, the police, violence and education; as well as songs, poems and political cartoons. This is the real story of The Black Panthers. It provides a behind-the-scenes look at the Black Panther Party, without media or political input. Black Panthers Speak allows readers to judge the movement for themselves.
