Attachad is a pic of 22 Nelson avenue, BPP Peekskill Chapter. The street was demolished and the Main Branch Library was built on the entire block. Thought it was constructive that a public library would be constructed in the same location, for the community.
This program features a panel on the San Francisco 8 -
with Cynthia
McKinney, Kathleen Cleaver, Soffiyah Elijah and Claude Marks.
Sister Asali was one of the Party's outstanding artists. Asali joined the Party in Seattle, Washington,
and relocated in 1972 to Oakland to help work on the Bobby Seale for Mayor campaign. Because of her skills
as an artist, she was placed on the Black Panther Party Newspaper staff.
She worked directly with Emory Douglas. Asali helped put out the paper weekly and did artwork for the
newspaper. Here are a few examples of her work.
Asali still lives and works in the Bay area.
Brother Malik was drawn to the Party from this experience in the Viet Nam War.
Malik worked in our Washington DC office and later moved to Oakland to work on
the BPP newspaper. Malik made weekly contributions to the newspaper, here are
some the examples of his artist abilities.
Find out more about Malik read, "Bloods" and view the "Nelson Mandela" documentary.
This guy bears responsibility for the arrest of every African American in his state who was arrested and sentenced for cocaine related offenses!
We would like to thank Rasputin's Music for the opportunity to display some of our historical photos in their windows. The display in the Berkeley store has been up since late January 2007. Starting in March in their San Francisco store we will have a display in that store window. Come check it out. Berkeley Store is located @ 2401 Telegraph.

I would like to thank Karen Wald's for the use of material from her
collection to share with our readers. I have been reading articles by Karen
since 1968, she has covered Huey Newtons cases and the Black Panther Party,
she also covered the Soledad Brothers case, as well as interviews with George
Jackson. She also covered August 21, the murder of George Jackson and the
San Quentin six case. These are just a few of the many articles Karen has
written. We thank her for sharing material.

In the spirit of Kwanzaa. Attached you will find the latest edition of Positive Action the newsletter for the All African People's Revolutionary Party (A-APRP). This edition is a tribute to the 40 year commemoration of the founding of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (October 1966 - 2006), but this isn't just a nostalgic piece. Instead, its an effort to connect the Panther legacy with the international Pan-Africanist struggle for justice today! So, the issue contains articles about the FBI's role in destabilizing the Panthers and how the American government still employs the same tactics, just under a different name; the Patriot Act. There is also articles about the legacy of Kwame Ture and a very important article written by a leading A- APRP member from Ghana, West Africa, about Kwame Nkrumah's efforts to build the Convention People's Party in Ghana and how imperialism sabotaged that effort submitted by Ahjamu Umi.
