Additional Details

rare, third issue of the community newsletter with excellent content. This chapter was one of the strongest in the state if not the country, originally founded by Alprentice 'Bunchy' Carter, a year earlier. Carter came out of the Slauson Street gang which numbered in the thousands and included Angela Davis, Elaine Brown, and John and Erika Huggins. This chapter, because of its size and potential, became a prime target of the FBI's COINTELPRO, which was behind the assassination of Carter and John Huggins. Panther Community Newsletters are much scarcer than Panther Newspapers and are not well-represented in most collections. OCLC locates no copies of the present issue.
