Black Panthers For Beginners - Adult Book

A crowd of onlookers gawked as four young black men dressed in black leather jackets and berets leaped from a car, each of them wielding shotguns with bandoliers strapped across their bodies. The young men surrounded two white police officers who had accosted a black man and had him spread-eagled against a building. The young men did not say a word as the police officers watched them nervously, their eyes fixed on the shotguns. One of the young men held a large law book in his hand…This was the Black Panther Party. The real story was both more and less heroic. So begins Black Panthers For Beginners. While their furious passage was marked by death, destruction and government sabotage, the Panthers left an instructive legacy. Herb Boyd has done exhaustive research, examined the claims of all parties involved, and boiled the story down to "the truth." We believe this is the most truthful book on the market, but each Panther has his or her own story to tell.
