Additional Details

In May 1970, the Kansas City branch of the Black Panther Party withdrew from the national organization, and changed its name to the Sons of Malcolm. This recruiting poster provides a street address and the slogan "The seeds embodied in the spirit and endeavor of revolutionary love will ensure the ever sprouting determination for black liberation and freedom!" They apparently did not remain active for long; another group called the Black Organizers spun off the next year (see the Kansas City Times, 24 June 1971), and we find nothing further on the Sons of Malcolm after that point. No other examples of this remarkable survival traced on OCLC or at auction.
