Description:
Campus uprisings, urban rebellions, and the Vietnam War rocked the
nation when the Black Panther Party arose during the late 1960s.
Stephen Shames's exceptional photographs -- ranging from affectionate
private moments to intense demonstrations -- span the places where the
Panthers made their greatest impact. His graceful images bring to life
the joys, pains, anxieties, and passions that animated the Panthers,
their supporters, friends, and advisors as the crises mounted. This
collection is memorable -- and filled with surprises!

This historic book provides powerful and poignant images of the most
courageous group of young black people ever organized in America -- the
Black Panther Party. Thank God for them -- and Stephen Shames.
