Revolution in our time : the Black Panther Party's promise to the people / Kekla Magoon. by Magoon, Kekla. Candlewick Press , c2021. Call #: 323.119073 M211r Subjects Black Panther Party -- History.   Blacks -- History.   Black power -- United States -- History -- 20th century.   Blacks -- Civil rights -- History -- 20th century.   Civil rights movements -- United States -- History -- 20th century.   Blacks -- Politics and government -- 20th century. ISBN:  9781536214185 1536214183 Alternate title:  Black Panther Party's promise to the people Edition:  First edition Description:  ix, 390 pages : illustrations ; 27 cm. Notes:  In this comprehensive, inspiring, and all-too-relevant history of the Black Panther Party, Kekla Magoon introduces readers to the Panthers' community activism, grounded in the concept of self-defense, which taught Black Americans how to protect and support themselves in a country that treated them like second-class citizens. For too long the Panthers' story has been a footnote to the civil rights movement rather than what it was: a revolutionary socialist movement that drew thousands of members--mostly women--and became the target of one of the most sustained repression efforts ever made by the U.S. government against its own citizens. Revolution in Our Time puts the Panthers in the proper context of Black American history, from the first arrival of enslaved people to the Black Lives Matter movement of today. Kekla Magoon's eye-opening work invites a new generation of readers grappling with injustices in the United States to learn from the Panthers' history and courage, inspiring them to take their own place in the ongoing fight for justice.
