And Even More Areas of Interest: The History & Legacy of the Black Panther Party


In the words of Kathleen Cleaver:

"What I see as important to do is to make it [the legacy] accessible, to make that knowledge, that history, that phenomenon that was the Black Panther Party as accessible as possible to another generation, so they can benefit from those mistakes; they can benefit from those advances; and they can essentially learn from the past."
