In this comprehensive history of the Illinois Chapter of the Black Panther Party (ILBPP); Chicago native Jakobi Williams demonstrates that the city's Black Power movement was both a response to and an extension of the city's civil rights movement. Williams focuses on the life and violent death of Fred Hampton; a charismatic leader who served as president of the NAACP Youth Council and continued to pursue a civil rights agenda when he became chairman of the revolutionary Chicago-based Black Panther Party. Framing the story of Hampton and the ILBPP as a social and political history and using; for the first time; sealed secret police files in Chicago and interviews conducted with often reticent former members of the ILBPP; Williams explores how Hampton helped develop racial coalitions between the ILBPP and other local activists and organizations.Williams also recounts the history of the original Rainbow Coalition; created in response to Richard J. Daley's Democratic machine; to show how the Panthers worked to create an antiracist; anticlass coalition to fight urban renewal; political corruption; and police brutality.

This copy arrived very fast and cover looks nice but there are NO page numbersBy Winston SmithI have read NER before and I bought this to replace a copy I already had because it was ripped up and falling apart. This copy arrived very fast and cover looks nice but there are NO page numbers;the font is very small and at times a page starts with the text in the middle of the page...which is very weird....Wish I had bought from a reliable source....which I THOUGHT I was doing.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy CustomerVery informative book15 of 22 people found the following review helpful. An Imitation ?By EddieMr Klassen has "created" a new racial White religion that actually imitates Judaism. Like Judaism he asks "Creators" to have a restricted diet; vegetarian as opposed to kosher. A revival of Latin which he wants all Whites to speak as opposed to Hebrew revivied by Jews. A list of commandments (16) as opposed to the Biblical 10 and foremost "Racial Loyalty" which in the past Jews practiced and today seemingly only by Orthodox Jews. I heard imitation is the sincerist form of flattery. Ben Klassen has taken it to the extreme that makes it a fascinating read ! Rahowa as opposed to halleluyah !!
