This is a great intro to the history of the Black Panther Party, it’s people & personalities. Emphasizes the influences of other movements on the formation of the Black Panthers, & the influence the Panthers had on other movements in turn. It would be interesting to see the connections between the Black Panthers’ legacy & later anti-racist movements, but that is probably a whole other book in itself. There are definitely many more books to read (or write) about the Black Panther Party, but this one is a good place to start.
