Black Panthers of the 1960s and 1970s built a militant struggle
against racism, police brutality and poverty. They organized in
prisons as well as on the outside, leading the prisoners' rebellion at
Attica. Government repression targetted Panthers and dozens were
murdered by the FBI. Hundreds were imprisoned, some still behind bars
today. Come hear the voices of former Panthers and the legacy of the
movement for the fight against the death penalty, criminal injustice
and for civil rights today.
