Additional Details

In the cultural wars of the 1970's the Black Panthers had no fiercer enemy than Philadelphia mayor Frank Rizzo. In the summer of 1970, Rizzo declared war on the Panthers, pulling out all the stops and violating their human rights in ways not known in the history of police behavior in Philadelphia. In one of many operations in 1970, Rizzo staged a nighttime raid on Panther headquarters, dragging the near naked Panthers out to the street, stripping them and beating them.
