PRISONERS. Bail Money and Property Needed * Free Busing Program . . . Visits to the Various State Prisons. Two mimeographed pictorial broadsides; top half of the latter title somewhat darkened. Los Angeles: Black Panther Defense Fund circa 1969

Additional Details

Two worthy programs from the Panthers in Los Angeles. Free Busing was a program that provided transportation for relatives of black and Latino men who were incarcerated in California prisons. The second piece was part of a program to build a solid defense fund for black and Latino men. It was clear that public defenders, even when they really did care, simply didn't have the time or the resources to mount adequate defenses for their clients.
