Spent the evening watching The Black Panthers: Vanguard of the Revolution. It felt fitting for these times. It is an excellent documentary, as well as an example of just how far an allegedly democratic government is willing to go to shut down dissent.

LindsayReads I'm going to show an excerpt from that to my kids this Wednesday (the part where Rita Williams-Garcia is interviewed)! Such a great doc! 8y

Not an in depth look at the history of the Black Panthers but it is a great introduction filled with oral history from many of the members and amazing photography taken of them at their prime. Emphasizes of the community outreach and programs that the Black Panthers had in the different communities. I really liked this book and found the photographs and insight moving.

BookishFeminist *Stacked* The Black Panthers has been on my list of things I really want to learn more about, especially after reading Ta-Nehisi Coates' first memoir. This looks like a great place to start. 👍🏼 9y
TheNextBook @BookishFeminist it is! And it's a super quick read. I loved the candid shots. Touched on a lot of different aspects of the Black Panthers and the amount of support they garnered. 9y
BookishFeminist @TheNextBook Awesome! I love quick snapshot books. 😀 9y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I'm reading the Patricia Hearst bio / social commentary right now. This would be a good follow up, I think. 9y

So I'm going to start this book tonight. I havent been able to read at all today but this is screaming for my attention! I have a lot of books that I need to read this month for #netgalley and this is one of them! I'll be taking a break from netgalley reviews after November for a while to do my #darktower #reread in December and my #harrypotter #reread in January! 😌 Here we go!

BookishFeminist Ooh I'm gonna have to find this on Netgalley! 9y
TheNextBook @BookishFeminist yes! It's a visual and oral history so it's not super in depth but I'm enjoying it so far! 9y
