Additional Details

Issued in support of the Panther 21, on trial for attacks on New York governmental offices in 1969. It advertises a rally at Long Island City High School, where Panther 21 detainee Lonnie Epps was a student. It promotes the Black Panthers as a unifying, positive force in their community, with quotes by Fred Hampton and Eldridge Cleaver, but also emphasizes the need for "self-defense to protect their community against brutalization by the pigs."
