Additional Details

In January 1969, 21 members of the New York Black Panther chapter were accused of plotting an attack on two police stations. One of the main defendants, Afeni Shakur (mother of Tupac), was able to establish in court that the violence was incited by police informants, and all defendants were acquitted in 1971.
