Intercommunal News Service, Vol. 1, No. 8, Spring 2001

The Black Panther Newspaper Collection (1967-1980) contains 10 boxes and 10.83 linear feet of newspaper. With over 400 issues, the Black Panther Newspaper covers a variety of topics, from community service to global events. The newspaper was also used to distribute information of the Black Panther Party’s (BPP) ideologies and any events or services that they would have had. It was often used to gather support for protests or for members that had become political prisoners. Covering topics such as in Vol. 3 No.10, “Free the Latino Seven,” seven Latino brothers were being accused of killing a San Francisco Cop, or the interview in Vol. 7 No. 28, between Elaine Brown and the recently released Angela Davis; the BPP expressed the support and solidarity for the brothers, brown people, and all intersectional groups. This collection is arranged chronologically.
