This new graphic paperback rightly notes how enslavement of Afrikans naturally led to the 1966 establishment of The Black Panthers. It also notes that Robert F. Williams’ Black Armed Guard of the late ’50s was a predecessor to the Panthers.
Of course, the focus is on Bobby Seale and Huey Newton. Yet, detailed props are given to other prominent figures such as Mark Comfort. Comfort was the link between The Lowndes County Black Panther Party and the The Black Panther Party itself.
Other sections give accurate props to Eldridge Cleaver, Emory Douglas, Bunchy Carter, George Jackson, Angela Davis and Erica & John Huggins. Plus, this book presents a balanced view with its exploration of the Panthers’ successes and failures.
