October 21, 2016: Black Panther Posts: AAIHS Links

[On October 15^th, 1966, the Black Panthers were founded in Oakland, California by Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale. So this week I’ll AmericanStudy a handful of histories and stories connected to the Panthers, leading up to a special weekend post on an unfolding contemporary history that echoes the group’s activism and legacy.]

I had already written most of this week’s series when I saw a number of wonderful Black Panther posts on the African American Intellectual History Society’s blog. Decided it was important to dedicate a post of mine to linking to a handful of those great posts:

Herstories: Writing Black Panther Women’s History

The Black Panthers: A New 50^th Anniversary Book of Revolutionaries

An Interview with Former Black Panther Lynn French

The Black Panther Party and the Free Breakfast for Children Program

Introduction to the #Blackpanthersyllabus

Special post this weekend,

PS. What do you think? Other Panther histories or connections you’d highlight?
