Kekla Magoon, Revolution in Our Time: The Black Panther Party’s Promise to the People (Author Talk)
KEKLA MAGOON will be in conversation with Left Bank Books’ Cliff Helm and Danielle King. With passion and precision, Magoon relays an essential account of the Black Panthers as militant revolutionaries and as human rights advocates working to defend and protect their community. In this comprehensive, inspiring and all-too-relevant history of the Black Panther Party, 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.
