Description
Still Black, Still Strong is a powerful and unflinching account of the Black Panther Party's history, written by three key figures who were jailed by the FBI in the 1960s. The book is based on the 1989 documentary Framing The Panthers and tells the stories of Dhoruba Bin Wahad, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Assata Shakur, who were all arrested and imprisoned during the COINTELPRO probe.
These three individuals, who were all prominent activists and leaders within the Black Panther Party, offer a unique perspective on the party's goals and the events that led to their imprisonment. Dhoruba Bin Wahad, Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Assata Shakur recount their experiences, including their struggles with the justice system and the FBI's attempts to discredit them.
Through their stories, Still Black, Still Strong sheds light on a little-known chapter in American history, one that has been distorted and suppressed by the US government. This book provides a valuable insight into the Black Panther Party's original goals and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.
