Book Description
In the 1960s, Stan Lee and Jack Kirby created an unprecedented string of classic comic book heroes. Quite possibly the most iconic of them all was the high-tech king of Wakanda, The Black Panther. When the Panther began his own solo series, Don McGregor strove to meet Lee and Kirby's high standard with "Panther's Rage." It was an epic adventure so huge it ranged across the savannah, into the deepest jungles and up snow-topped mountains. Over its course, McGregor would explore and expand the life and culture of Wakanda and their African kingdom in compelling detail. COLLECTING: VOL. 1; FANTASTIC FOUR (1961) 52-53, JUNGLE ACTION (1972) 6-24.

Book Description
Out of Oakland offers a wonderful case study in the possibilities and limitations of transnational organizing. ― Diplomatic History In Out of Oakland, Sean L. Malloy explores the evolving internationalism of the Black Panther Party (BPP); the continuing exile of former members, including Assata Shakur, in Cuba is testament to the lasting nature of the international bonds that were forged during the party's heyday. Founded in Oakland, California, in October 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale, the BPP began with no more than a dozen members. Focused on local issues, most notably police brutality, the Panthers patrolled their West Oakland neighborhood armed with shotguns and law books. Within a few years, the BPP had expanded its operations into a global confrontation with what Minister of Information Eldridge Cleaver dubbed "the international pig power structure." Malloy traces the shifting intersections between the black freedom struggle in the United States, Third World anticolonialism, and the Cold War. By the early 1970s, the Panthers had chapters across the United States as well as an international section headquartered in Algeria and support groups and emulators as far afield as England, India, New Zealand, Israel, and Sweden. The international section served as an official embassy for the BPP and a beacon for American revolutionaries abroad, attracting figures ranging from Black Power skyjackers to fugitive LSD guru Timothy Leary. Engaging directly with the expanding Cold War, BPP representatives cultivated alliances with the governments of Cuba, North Korea, China, North Vietnam, and the People's Republic of the Congo as well as European and Japanese militant groups and the Palestinian Liberation Organization. In an epilogue, Malloy directly links the legacy of the BPP to contemporary questions raised by the Black Lives Matter movement.

Book Description
The Black Panther Party represents Black Panther Party members' coordinated responses over the last four decades to the failure of city, state, and federal bureaucrats to address the basic needs of their respective communities. The Party pioneered free social service programs that are now in the mainstream of American life. The Party's Sickle Cell Anemia Research Foundation, operated with Oakland's Children's Hospital, was among the nation's first such testing programs. Its Free Breakfast Program served as a model for national programs. Other initiatives included free clinics, grocery giveaways, school and education programs, senior programs, and legal aid programs. Published here for the first time in book form, The Black Panther Party makes the case that the programs' methods are viable models for addressing the persistent, basic social injustices and economic problems of today's American cities and suburbs.

Book Description
Essays about the original Black Panther Party’s local chapters in seven American cities that seek “to move beyond the usual media stereotypes . . . Recommended” (Choice). The Black Panther Party for Self-Defense was founded in Oakland, California, in 1966 by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. It was perhaps the most visible of the Black Power groups in the late sixties and early seventies, not least because of its confrontational politics, its rejection of nonviolence, and its headline-catching, gun-toting militancy. Important on the national scene and highly visible on college campuses, the Panthers also worked at building grassroots support for local black political and economic power. Although there have been many books about the Black Panthers, none has looked at the organization and its work at the local level. This book goes beyond Oakland and Chicago examines the work and actions of seven local initiatives in Baltimore, Winston-Salem, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Milwaukee, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. These local organizations are revealed as committed to programs of community activism that focused on problems of social, political, and economic justice.

Book Description
In The Revolution Has Come Robyn C. Spencer traces the Black Panther Party's organizational evolution in Oakland, California, where hundreds of young people came to political awareness and journeyed to adulthood as members. Challenging the belief that the Panthers were a projection of the leadership, Spencer draws on interviews with rank-and-file members, FBI files, and archival materials to examine the impact the organization's internal politics and COINTELPRO's political repression had on its evolution and dissolution. She shows how the Panthers' members interpreted, implemented, and influenced party ideology and programs; initiated dialogues about gender politics; highlighted ambiguities in the Panthers' armed stance; and criticized organizational priorities. Spencer also centers gender politics and the experiences of women and their contributions to the Panthers and the Black Power movement as a whole. Providing a panoramic view of the party's organization over its sixteen-year history, The Revolution Has Come shows how the Black Panthers embodied Black Power through the party's international activism, interracial alliances, commitment to address state violence, and desire to foster self-determination in Oakland's black communities.

Book Description
THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS by Marge Pellegrino and Marianna Neil is a powerful, imaginative, compassionate work that will touch the hearts and educate the minds of readers. The story of refugees fleeing civil war, violence, and persecution in Guatemala in the 1980s and 90s should have played an important role in political discourse in the US. It did not. Nor does it now. The story, instead, has been relegated to the back burner of history. We know what happens when history is ignored. In fact, large numbers of young Guatemalans as well as Hondurans and Salvadorans are still crossing the borders in the southwest US as they flee from danger and violence, just as the protagonist Juana did in the 1980s. The harrowing story of one individual's experience can motivate serious discussion of the issues and lead to understanding and even action. Co-authors Marge Pellegrino and Marianna Neil have created an imaginative re-telling, a fictionalized version that is as true as any documentary. We identify with Juana as she sets off on a dangerous journey from what was once a happy life with her husband and children. We learn from the statue things that Juana cannot tell us. And the sculptor brings immediacy to the portrayal of Juana as she sits for him. The presentation of facts and depiction of emotions are beautifully written and haunting. THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS personalizes the plight of thousands of refugees who fled Central America and continue to do so. Juana's story makes us aware, too, of the courage of everyday Americans who risked arrest and punishment to make life safer and more secure for individuals fleeing certain death. In creating the story of Juana, co-authors Marge Pellegrino and Marianna Neil honor all who survived and all who didn't. Reaching out to a larger audience, THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS will continue to honor them. Juanita Havill Writer and Poet Author of Grow: A Novel in Verse, and many other books. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS goes toward the support the ongoing work of Owl & Panther, that provides expressive arts, service, and time in nature for refugee families impacted by torture, trauma, and traumatic dislocation. Owl & Panther also provides public and educational programs to help encourage a more welcoming community. In praise of THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS Of all the books, news articles, and PhD theses that have been written about the Sanctuary Movement, this book is certainly the most powerful. The authors are right: symbol and story have the power to transform human lives that data and fact do not. THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS will move each reader to a transformed understanding of refugees-a critical need in this time of anti-immigrant rhetoric and fear. Rev. John Fife, co-founder of 1980's Sanctuary Movement In THE SCULPTURE SPEAKS, a statue is brought to life; so is the woman who inspired that statue; so is the brave and perilous journey faced by so many refugees. With spare, powerful, language, Neil and Pellegrino have crafted a story that will wake you up, that will change you forever.
