The cover story is on the culmination of the trial of Bobby Seale and Ericka Huggins in Connecticut. "The Black Panther (also called The Black Panther Intercommunal News Service, Black Panther Black Community News Service, and Black Community News Service) was the official newspaper of the Black Panther Party. It began as a four-page newsletter in Oakland in 1967, and was founded by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale. It was the main publication of the Party and was eventually sold in several large cities across the United States, as well as having an international readership. The newspaper distributed information about the party's activities, and expressed through articles the ideology of the Black Panther Party, focusing on both international revolutions as inspiration and contemporary racial struggles of African Americans across the United States. It remained in circulation until the dissolution of the Party in 1980." This copy is in good condition. It's clean and unmarked with no stains.
