This book not only gives insight to the Black Panthers and its leaders but it also (with your own analysis) can help someone use their tools to organize.

Read about this influential org. for yourself

Reviewed in the United States on January 11, 2004

Often we are mislead as to what the black panther party was, or what they stood for. This book will enlighten the reader about the BPP. All of the material was written by BPP members. It comes from interviews from members, BPP newspaper articles, trials, etc. Therefore, there is absolutely no [false] material put forth by someone with a political agenda to discredit the BPP. If you ask any random person what they think of the BPP they will often remark that they are racists, or extremists. This is due to the fact that the media, schools, and state have constantly discredited the BPP, and slandered the black nationalist movement. Read their ideas for yourself, and you make the decision for yourself about the BPP.
The only minor flaw about this book is that it was written in I believe '70, before the demise of the BPP. The BPP agenda drastically changed during the time after the book was written. Bobby seale and other leaders strayed away from their militant stance.

This is THE book on the Black Panthers!

Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2005

Interested in the original Black Panthers? Read books on them? Seen a movie? Heard the hype? Well now is the time to read for yourself the ACTUAL WORDS of those who lead the movement. Familiarize yourself with the ideology of the organization and it's goals and objectives. Review the speeches of Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldrige Cleaver and others. This book will give the reader an insightful view into the true workings and mindset of the Panthers...without the bias hype or romanticizing of the organization. The unsubstantiated negative connotations connected to the Panthers are clearly dispelled here, as their political/social/economic philosophy is delivered in clear, concise dialogue that will leave even the most prejudiced researcher re-evaluating his/her perception of the movement. I highly recommend it!

Excellent Documentary of the Black Panthers

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2004

The Black Panthers Speak is a collection of speeches, sayings, drawings, poems, and other writings that were created by members of the Black Panther party. The Black Panthers were groups of black men and women who fought without guns and knives, but with their mouths for freedom for blacks around America. This book tells what the Black Panthers fought for and how they rose up against America.
For anyone who likes documentaries or freedom fighters I would highly recommend this book. It shows the true heart that lies within their fighting, and it shows that they'll never give up.
