Excellent book about the Black Panther PartyBy LitoldldyFor all those who wish to learn about what led up to the spawning of the Black Panthers; from their beginning days until the execution of Huey Newton in 1989; this is an excellent and important work. Unfortunately most of the later academic reviews of the Sixties; of the Party and especially its leadership are caught up in the old game of one extreme or the other; and the prevailing sentiment seems to be that the Panthers were either all good or all bad. They are most often written about as though they were the most significant group to rise out of the Black Power movement. And occasionally their criminality is focused upon. The reality is that both are true -- they were the icons of resistance and murderers at the same time. It still appears that most people are unable to hold both realities at the same time. Pearson's writing reflects the time in which it was written -- the 1990s following the murder of Newton. He was an African-American journalist who was not afraid to look at the truth and write about it. His writing is based upon his conversations with the people who were involved. He left us with a significant work.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
