Will You Die with Me?

In 1966, as the largely nonviolent Civil Rights movement swept through America, Huey P. Newton and Bobby Seale founded the legendary Black Panther Party in Oakland, California.

When the Black Panther Party was founded in 1966, one of its central aims was to stop the incidents of police brutality occurring in black neighborhoods. Drawn to the party’s mission of aiding African American victims of abuse and racial prejudice, Flores A. Forbes began reading Black Panther literature and soon embraced its doctrines, which were inspired by Mao Tse-Tung’s The Little Red Book

Redemption: The Last Battle of the Civil Warby
Nicholas Lemann

A century after Appomattox, the civil rights movement won full citizenship for black Americans in the South. It should not have been necessary: by 1870 those rights were set in the Constitution. This is the story of the terrorist campaign that took them away. Nicholas Lemann opens his extraordinary new book with a riveting account of the horrific events of Easter 1873 in Colfax, Louisiana, where a white militia of Confederate veterans-turned-vigilantes attacked the black community there and massacred hundreds of people in a gruesome killing spree.
