The Black Panther Party was founded by the late Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale on October 15, 1966 in Oakland, California. The New York 21 was the epic case where the City of New York tried to frame 21 Panthers on conspiracy charges and to break their organizational back with the costly trial defense efforts. The Black Liberation Army was the 1970s reemergence of the Underground Railroad, where Panthers who had been forced underground by the repression of the FBI CounterIntelligence operations organized to continue their contributions to struggle but from underground. All of the Panthers currently in the NY state prison system, served in the Black Liberation Army. For more information, please call 347 661 4174…
